Tonight begins the era of the Jets unless they lose or sumpin.

Tomorrow the era of Los Yets possibly begins guys.

I really like the lean version of Randy Wells. That's a solid arm to have behind three better pitchers. The ball comes out really well when he's focused, and both control and command are excellent. He should carry this over into 2012 for everyones benefit. -
Garza starts are always watchable. Should be a good one.

New GM/Cubs Future News Articles
KingKongvs.Godzilla replied to Clem Fandango's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I still think it's going to end up being Beane, which I think will require some worth it compensation to Oakland. -
can we talk about Starlin Castro?
KingKongvs.Godzilla replied to Shilzzz's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
The root of the problem is that Fleita and Wilken said that their stone and chisels figured that's where he hits best. Ricketts extended the idea. -
From what? His own suckage?

Wrigley receives "F" from city health inspectors
KingKongvs.Godzilla replied to Tarver's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Shake fist @ Ricketts and ESPECIALLY Kenney. Does anyone besides me think that all this bad press this year is going to serve as a set up? -
Yes, I do have baseball opinions, despite lacking the degree in rocket science required to form any. I'm not the only person who holds this train of thought with Moustakas (and I provided a link in that argument), and I gave my reasons. It's not as if his numbers are a guarantee to translate perfectly to the majors, and he hit in some very, very favorable conditions (some of the best in the minors for hitters really) making it even less likely so. He gives up athleticism and size to Vitters too, which won't really help in the long run. I have no idea how you find it unbelievable that I can form an informed opinion on prospects in an age where many, many, many writers exist pumping out lists and reports, Youtube offers video, MiLB.com offers games and highlights, and websites offer daily box scores and reports. I fancy myself as someone who's seen a whole lot of baseball and can form an opinion on players without wondering whether I'm worthy to do such a thing. Why I'm even dignifying this stuff with a response... But just out of curiosity, what are the board requirements to have opinions on baseball? How would I go about fulfilling these requirements? Do I need to switch my major or anything?

Well they could go after Reyes and/or CC if they went with Pena. It wouldnt be easy, but neither with the 1B anyway, and at least there are other franchise player type options through FA. I'm not as into the idea as I am of signing the 1B, but t could work out if executed. Then yeah there's the trade avenue too, which I think they'll be active on anyway. I'm not a fan of the Dunn idea either. He's not finished but he's not the type I'd expect to age well.

Derp?
-
That was his 2nd RBI. (Wed 15 Jun 11 vs Milwaukee, 3 for 4 with an RBI off Narveson) *Buys jersey* No really, he put a good swing on that pitch and made a couple sweet plays at 2B.
-
Herp derp 31 possibly older derp.
-
The Lemahieu with an RBI. Was that #1 for the career? Of course,it came on a single.
-
Fine, send LaHair to one of those teams that doesn't spend money.

I am not against statistical analysis. Not even close really....I just have chosen to blend the two because it makes sense to do so. Numbers are a huge part of analysis, but you're still missing something if that's all that you consider. There's cases where the results will lag behind, ESPECIALLY in young, nonestablished players. That makes them risks obviously, but solid scouting can help mitigate that (as can looking at more numbers).
-
That's not an excuse. These guys get coached on stuff like this too...It's childish at best on his part. 3 in a row. Wow.
-
I'm noticing that. I've got like 7 last posts in a row on the front page. What's with that? Oooor by your word choice is this going in a more hostile direction and I'll soon be notified that I need to apply for an Old Boy's card?
-
What kind of nonsensical jackass statement is this and in what way does it come close to responding to what I wrote? No less nonsensical or jackassy than "this is a weird way to think." Good thing that made up maybe a quarter of my post...Why so hostile? Cockiness can be good, sure. Tweeting about how you worked hard and therefore should have been called up isn't what most would call cockiness. He'll see the majors, and it will be with the Cubs (unless he's involved in a trade for an obvious upgrade somewhere else on the roster). Don't forget another difference: The mentality that it's fine to do something like that in a public domain because people say and do stupid [expletive] through that medium all the time. It's not, and he shouldn't have.
-
Understandable given the day in the sport, where anyone can pick up the numbers game and suddenly be an expert on player evaluation. I think it's a more common thought process than most would give it credit for, especially when it comes to minor league players who are in the minors to develop and hone their skills, which are probably not perfect. In the end I just want him to keep working like he claims he was, and things will work out best for him. If he lets this moment in time get to him then the only person he's really hurting in the long run is himself...and he won't get the results that will eventually define him.
-
In the end, most likely nothing. You're making the huge assumption that New GM will agree that Fleita is bad at his job, wholly incompetent, and inflexible in his philosophy.
-
Sounds like a semantics issue to me, which is as trivial as it gets. Scouting is most definitely a part of his job, and you can not and do not evaluate players without some scouting being done.

Pomeranz, living in limbo because of rule
KingKongvs.Godzilla replied to OleMissCub's topic in General Baseball Talk
Pomeranz is probably my favorite lefty in the minors with Martin Perez. At the Futures Game you can tell Cleveland was giving him the Cliff Lee overhaul mechanically, but that it's still in it's early stages. When it's all said and done I think he's going to be just an awesome pitcher...Something like a young David Wells. -
What is the best pitching year of all time?
KingKongvs.Godzilla replied to TruffleShuffle's topic in General Baseball Talk
That he should have been Prior's co-ace for more than just one year. -
