2013 AFL Thread

[Guest]

@kileymcd: Popped up early on routine grounder. RT @EricLPauly: @kileymcd Was Bryant's error fielding or throwing?

 

@kileymcd: I wasn't shy about saying I had Almora over Buxton in 2012. Buxton's 2013/recent looks flipped them for me, but not many guys between them.

Just remember, the AFL is an incredibly hitter-friendly league.

Cubs: 6 of 8 with 5 R and 9 RBI

 

Rest of league today: 5 runs scored on 12 hits.

There's nothing irrational about bonering over these prospects.

 

yeah raisin, you can take my boner from my cold, dead hands

Bryant K swinging to start the 6th, lowering his OPS to 1.600 for the AFL to this point.

[bukie]

Couple other things to note:

 

- From youngest to oldest, the Cubs big 4: Almora (19), Baez (20), Soler (21), Bryant (21)

- Almora is the second youngest player in the AFL.

Kiley McDaniel thinks Almora is the best of the Cubs' big 4 prospects, with Baez and Soler having the most risk.

"Maybe we should have invited Girardi to this game"

Look at Almora being all makeupy and leadery - first to hug and greet his organization and team mate from the dugout

Kiley McDaniel had Almora rated the top prospect in the 2012 draft. He loves him some Almora.

 

Even now, it sounds like only begrudgingly rates Buxton ahead of Almora.
