stupid [expletive] tootblan watkins costing another chance at seeing baez again

[UMFan83]

Really glad to see Alcantara get 3 hits today. He needed it

[Sammy Sofa]

Please don't yell at me for being stupid; but is Adam Jones a good idealized offensive comp for Al Contra?

less power, more speed, more willing to walk, imo

LOUD NOISES!

 

I'd take it.

True.

I figured more patience, but I'm surprised at the speed. Cool; thanks.

Wouldn't it be a kick in the pants if Logan Watkins went on to have the best career of any Cub rookie from this year?

If you want someone more exact, maybe Victorino?

[Sammy Sofa]

What a delightful win.

That would be swell.

 

What's the place to see those comp predictions in terms of specific players? I know BR will ultimately do their similarity lists, but what about something for a guy like Alcantara who doesn't have enough time under his belt yet?

That's a pretty good one. He's going to strike out more than victorino, though.

That was also Baez's 30th home run on the season between AAA and MLB

[Sammy Sofa]

Imagine when the Cubs have their new TV setup in a few years and Hollandsworth is nowhere near it. I think I actually dislike him more than Kaplan.

[bukie]

Cubs now have more runs scored than the Padres...and the Cardinals, Reds and Red Sox.

cruelest joke ever would be kaplan and hollandsworth being the main guys for everything on the cubs rsn and i could totally see it happening

I'm just expecting Kaplan to be carted over to wherever they go. I'm REALLY hoping they aim higher than Todd [expletive] Hollandsworth in terms of former player analysis. Not that it's something that anyone really listens to, but I'd have to figure someone more meaningful and more entertaining would want to help launch a new Cubs TV era.

That would be awful. You would think they would have at least one non-derpy voice there, similar to Karl Ravech having to argue with mouth breathers like Reynolds and Kruk on Baseball Tonight.

Isn't Glanville the perfect guy to bring back? Former Cub, Ivy leaguer, and already in baseball talking business?

Not that it's necessary, but it would be kinda cool (in a meatball-y) way if they could someone who spent more than just a couple years or so with the team. I know he's not on there all the time, but the White Sox at least get Frank Thomas.

[Clem Fandango]

Kerry Wood?

Love Glanville. Also maybe Karros?
