McCarthy's AAA Debut

[doublem23]

I wouldn't mind seeing Brandon McCarthy in Charlotte for the rest of the year; means our pitching staff will be doing A-OK.

Agreed. There is no need to rush him. He is only 21.

What kind of stuff does McCarthy have? Does he have 4 pitches or 5 or what? I don't know too much about him other than he's a top prospect, and he's about 11 feet tall.

Isnt this the part where the Cubune & Cub Times have McCarthy Watches and the Mike Murphys start ranting daily on his personal Radio Web Log on how we should be calling him up, and WGN, FOX stations start keeping tabs on every performance and have Mark Giancubco doing live remotes from small towns in North Carolina, and shouldnt we be all buying McCarthy Jerseys and having Carol Cubby Sleazak asking us what his nickname should be, and having am670 devoting a whole evening show after he debuts, to his performance?? Nahhhhhhhh
