Paniagua's FIP made me sad.

Wife and I are headed to the Iowa game tonight... Sitting in the lawn section in the outfield.

Has anybody heard anything about Zastryzny? He's vanished again for a couple of weeks, after pitching effectively for most of a month.

Guys have ups and downs, so often composite stats are more indicative than "since X" stats. But Paniagua is one case where I think the seasonal stats probably are less representative than the more recent stuff.

Yeah, I've been wondering about him too but haven't seen anything. He's not on the DL (yet).

Given the year plus recovery time, he could get in some game action in Mesa or Boise next year with no setbacks. Likely see Kane County for most of 2016 if all goes well.

 

According to Callis, Cease received the 34th highest signing bonus at $1.5 million dollars which falls between the 37th and 38th slot values of this year's draft. So, if we look at this from the standpoint of trading down in the draft, the Cubs essentially traded down from the 4th spot to between the 8th and 9th pick saving $1.5 million and picked up a 1st round compensation pick in 2015 (due to the TJS recovery time) in return and still got the best college hitter in the draft according to most commentators with Schwarber's early results backing that up. We'll have to wait and see what kind of pitcher Cease is when he returns from the surgery to know what kind of return they got on that trade but considering Schwarber's early performance, it looks like it was already a worthwhile trade, almost like getting something (something potentially really good) for nothing. If the guys taken 5-8 (Nick Gordon, Alex Jackson, Aaron Nola or Kyle Freeland) are demonstrably better than Schwarber in the long run then that certainly mitigates any potential return, but that could also be chalked up to a failure in scouting/projection and not in trade logic as the Cubs might have had Schwarber rated higher than those guys anyway.

 

I tend to like getting something for nothing, especially when that something could be a TOR starter...

I'm at the game, absolute no doubter. Outfield barely moved. Think it left the park entirely

Bryant looked bad on the two off speed pitches he saw. Alcantara hit the ball hard right at the third baseman. Lopez looked smooth, strong am throwing out runner on k/cs dp to end first
