Stop hitting Bryant 5th.

Vitters and Lim (what the heck?!) back on the DL.

[davell]

Crap, I hope its not serious with Lim. I want to see him in the majors this year.

[Guest]

Vitters and Lim (what the heck?!) back on the DL.

 

Far more disappointed about Lim. Hope it's not serious.

Seriously.

 

I've been pretty pleased with the idea of a pen including Rosscup, Russel, Parker, Lim, Fujikawa, Strop and an addition or two.

[ctcf]

Villaneuva with his 10th double in August. His power has been a lot better than I expected it to be this year.

Not that its a big addition or anything, but with Guerrier having surgery today and missing 6-8 months, I fully expect him back on a minor league deal with incentives.

How many hits away is Baez from a .300 batting average in AA? Like 6? Pretty amazing all things considered.

[davell]

Lim has a right shoulder strain.

3 straight hits and he's at .299 3/10.

[davell]

Contreras and Geiger have homers. Both borderline top 30 guys, I expect Contreras to show more next year.

[davell]

Birch doubts we'll see Lim back to where he pitches in the majors this year.

[illiniguy]

JavyBB

He's gotta be a top five guy. He's taking walks now, has huge power, and plays short.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Birch doubts we'll see Lim back to where he pitches in the majors this year.

 

Not being on the 40-man, I don't think that was ever on the horizon. Unless there was some sort of understanding with him when we signed him.

I'm pretty sure they wanted him up to get a look. I think his contract is complicated, if I remember correctly.

Buxton, Bogaerts, Correa, Tavares will all be ranked higher. Bradley, Lindor, and Sano are possible as well.

I get Buxton, Tavares, Bogaerts, and Sano. I can't see the other guys being ranked higher.

i don't know that correa will be ranked higher.

[Guest]

We should be making trades with all the people who want to put Lindor and Correa in front of Baez.

Off the top of my head, there is only one guy on that list that I am completely convinced is a better prospect than Baez.

Buxton?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Yes.
