    Those UCLA uniforms are the best in college baseball.

    The Mets are lost in space. Back to reality. I'm hoping for a split here. A 5-2 homestand is pretty good.

    The minor league season is starting in a fun way for young'uns. I try not to look at anything for at least a month, we are near to there and there is a lot to be happy about. If they could *really* start a development engine like the Brewers and Dodgers, look out.

    You can math it out any way you want, you don't pitch to Nico there for a variety of reasons.
  5. CubinNY
    The Mets own him, so today was among his best against them

    It's jus this "announcer" happy-ass voice he puts on. Not a big fan either. I like Taylor, but he's a little too much with her.

    Nico - Your NL April player of the month.
  8. CubinNY
    Is he the clearest #1 pick since Harper?
  9. CubinNY
    Get him to Knoxville

    Cubs pitchers dropping like flies

    Let me introduce you to Josiah Hartshorn.

    Shaw is a future all star 2nd baseman at his 80th percentile outcome. But the Cubs have one of those locked in. it’s not time to panic, let him do what he’s going to do for now, but Jed should be on the phones looking for starters. He’s the best value player to trade for them.

    Our Cobs not looking so good to start the season.

    Cluncker

    My opinion (obviously) is that they should let Assad and Rae pitch until they demonstrate they can't do the job. There is no sense in making a panic move or signing scrap heap guys. I'd like to give Brown a shot too, but he needs to throw more strikes. Unless he develops a better third pitch he can use with higher regularity, he isn't a starter.
  17. CubinNY
    They have a great staff, so anyone is a tough assignment.
  18. CubinNY
    Bats awake
  19. CubinNY
    My guess would be Michael Bush Lover.

    But he was washed and addicted by 30. I think there are some issues with evaluation and chasing mythical wins. Are starting pitchers more valuable than relievers? Yes, but how much more? it's hard to quantify. If they pitch half a game 2x + how many innings on average more than a reliever - days between appearances? Should they be given more time between starts? Who knows, but it may be time to give a six-man rotation a try. Or maybe forget about the concept of starter and reliever and pitcher wins as a statistic of importance. Maybe have a system with three or four three-to-five-inning guys, four or five two-inning guys, and three or four one-inning guys. And have a better system to quantify outs, so they can all get paid accordingly. Now kids are going to college and getting routinely abused by their coach, who only cares about keeping his job and moving on to the next better one. So by the time they get to pro ball, they're already damaged goods. On the flip side, the ones who survive are so rare that they rake in the highest money come draft time. It seems like a good time for the smart people in baseball to start thinking differently about the game. But the economics make it hard for both Capital and Labor to do that.

    lol, he hasn't been healthy in a 2.5-year stretch since he was in high school.
  22. CubinNY
    The Cubs drafted Horton after 53 sporadic innings and a TJ surgery in college. I don't know what the track record is for guys like this becoming starters, but I can't imagine it's good, or that there's a long list of guys who turned out to have long careers.
  23. CubinNY
    yes
  24. CubinNY
    Wiggins is progressing?
  25. CubinNY
    Everyone kind of knew Boyd was going to break at some point. Hopefully this isn't one of those one month things that lasts until July. On the bright side Edward Cabrera's arm hasn't fallen off yet. I'm glad Shota took the QO
