My idea of Baez busting is to bust his nut all over Cardinal pitching for the next decade+.

 

Coffee all over the place. Well done sir.

Well, since the Grand Canyon is going to open despite the government shut down, I'm back on for my AFL trip next month (for my wife's sake, it was couched as a trip to the Grand Canyon where we'd go via Phoenix). Pretty excited.

Man, we've e-known each other for a long time. I remember when Raisin was in college, now married. Tim was in Southern California. CT was like a toddler.

I feel like such a case of arrested development when some of you guys mention wives and/or a kid.

 

UMFan mentioning a two year old a while back blew my mind.

If I were a manager, minor-league talent would be pretty far from my mind unless it was really right on the cusp of breaking into the majors. These guys are 4-6 years away from their primes.

 

mike trout is 4-6 years away from his prime too. imagine how good he'll be then.

Javier Baez was already doing whatever the [expletive] he wanted, however

Bryant's ceiling has to be massive considering it looks like he could put on 20 pounds and still look thin.

Right-handed Babe Ruth is the floor, imo

Yeah, it's crazy how much of a kid he still looks like vs. what he's already doing. Really, really exciting. The pessimist in me is still terrified of Baez busting, but I'm all in on Bryant.

 

Though that could just be racism.

Kiley McDaniel[/url]"]Cuban defector and new Cubs righty Armando Rivero has some hype and had apparently showed better stuff in the past but was is just another good relief arm off this look. He has a longer arm action (in part due to his long limbs) and off-balance delivery crossfire delivery (ugh) with fall-off after release that's makes him a likely relief fit. The stuff and projection is good, at 6'4/190, working 91-94 mph with a solid average slider at 79-81 that could be above average on a night where he had better feel for the pitch. The frame gives some hope there's more in there but he'll be 26 on Opening Day, so there isn't that much time.
