Q: Tim from MO asks:What is wrong with Colby Rasmus?
A: Ben Badler: Nothing, really. Guys go through five-week stretches like this all the time, especially when they're young for their level. I talked to a scout the other day who said he was far and away the best player on the field and that he looked like a Steve Finley-Grady Sizemore hybrid.

Q: Picklefork from St.Louis asks:No Shane Robinson...what does he have to do...solve World Hunger first? .429 on the year, .447 the past 10 games
A: Ben Badler: Any minor leaguer who solves either world hunger or world peace, or even if they just find the cure for restless leg syndrome, is guaranteed a spot on Hot Sheet from now on... or at least a mention in the team photo. Robinson really struggled last year, showed some selectivity at the plate, but a stretch of 30 good games in the Texas League aren't going to catapult a guy that far.

Q: Andy W. from Iowa City asks:How about Cardinals LHP Jaime Garcia making the jump from AA with a great performance for AAA Memphis last night? Is Garcia back to being a great prospect?
A: Ben Badler: I think so, since Garcia has long been a favorite pitching prospect of mine, though his elbow injury that he suffered in the middle of last year still lingers in my mind.
