Dale should invite Ryno to the Cubs clubhouse to give them a talk about playing the game the right way. :hello:

[Schwarber Fan]

Great work by Gillespie out there

[d_money]

Does Rusin have a legit shot at being the #5 next year? He's not as bad as I remember from last year

[Bobson Dugnutt]

i sure as hell hope not.

[d_money]

Just so long as I don't have to see Casey Coleman ever again, I'll be happy

[Schwarber Fan]

Ransom has to be top 5 in the league in swing and miss %

 

 

 

 

 

 

in before he's in the bottom 5

Actually, among players with at least 190 PAs, he's 27th out of 329, so you're not too far off.

also babip and lob%. rusin's K rate is actually worse than last season. his xFIP is only marginally better than 2012.

 

that being said, his major league line against LH batters is .246/.297/.333/.631, and i think he could be a good loogy.

Is there a September Call Up thread in transactions? Curious to hear what pitchers were bringing up and who's getting a look for '14 and beyond

[d_money]

Strop spelled backwards is Ports

[bukie]

Strop is Dutch for noose, lose, or ceiling, depending on dialect and usage.

No, there isn't. So far, the only guys confirmed are Sweeney, Valbuena and pending health, Baker and Dolis. I figure Cabrera has a strong chance since he's already on the 40-man. Hopefully Rosscup gets a chance too.

Thanks
