Article: What Went Wrong For Ryan Pressly?
I strongly disagree with your opinion. For one it's because he's just not that good, he will never be a 7th or 8th inning guy. I'm so sick of this excuse that he throws hard, it's used because the Twins haven't had a lot of guys who can ramp up to 99, so a lot of people just give him the benefit of the doubt, he throws hard he must be good, look around the MLB, a lot of people throw hard. He throws the fastball straight as an arrow and people crush it. He's always been below average. But wait there's more, he will go down blow that fastball by bad AAA hitters, they will chase his breaking pitches that never hit the strike zone, ever. Twins fans will get over confident in his ability and think he can pitch 8th innings, he will blow more games and the vicious cycle will continue.

Article: Eight Weeks In: Twins Trends And Tidbits
meanwhile busenitz, baxendale and hildenberger all have ERAs in the 2s at AAA, yet they are not getting a chance when these guys have 8 ERAs in the MLB, those guys have. I business being in a MLB roster with an 8 ERA through 2 months, give the guys who aren't getting any younger a chance to prove what they can do at a higher level

Alex Meyer Moved to Bullpen
I'm going to find it hilarious when he leaves the twins and becomes a great starting pitcher. He should have been in the mlb rotation already.

Alex Meyer Moved to Bullpen
It's absurd that the Twins can't develop pitching prospects. I just find it completely stupid to send him to the bullpen. We don't need bullpen guys in the future. We need high end starting pitching, I have no idea how that's not clear to the Twins management at this point. We've had the worst starting pitching in the league 2 years in a row and look where that got us. I think he needs a change of scenery like maybe a call-up, he's 25 and not getting any younger. I don't know why they wait when we have had awful pitching.
