		<description>Interesting thought on Branyan v. Kouz.  I took a look at them on Baseball Cube and, thought it's difficult to compare them due to the large differences in ages (Branyan hit the minors at 18 while Kouz was still in college at 22), they don't look all that dissimilar in the minors.

Of course as others have pointed out, we'll just have to wait and see as it's way too early to pass any judgement on him yet.&lt;p class="top-comments"&gt;Current score: &lt;span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-42769"&gt;0&lt;/span&gt; &lt;small&gt;(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>At AA, it's nice to see Max Venable with a good start ... http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?sid=milb&#38;t=g_box&#38;gid=2007_04_23_friaax_sanaax_1 ... I was afraid he'd get overmatched at AA ... and a good outing by Sean Thompson ... well, the 4 BBs in 5.2IP isn't good ... but his ERA is just 0.40 ... gotta like that!&lt;p class="top-comments"&gt;Current score: &lt;span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-42758"&gt;0&lt;/span&gt; &lt;small&gt;(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>Hmmm, looks like some bad news in the Portland game tonight ... http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?sid=milb&#38;t=g_box&#38;gid=2007_04_23_poraaa_cspaaa_1 ... Carillo only threw 1 inning???

On the postive side, Cust with HR #7 ... seems like he could get a call up if injuries start to mount ...&lt;p class="top-comments"&gt;Current score: &lt;span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-42757"&gt;0&lt;/span&gt; &lt;small&gt;(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
