    So, who would you rank over Marshall? What is it about Marshall that you are not sold on regarding his prospect status? I know some of my complaints may not be entirely fair, but oh well, Age - already 23 (only just reaching AA) and has a major surgery - probably ends up like every other cubs pitching prospect and blows out his shoulder/arm multiple times. Yah, I guess 23 isnt that old (isnt Hill something like that), but usually our really really good pitching prospects rise quickly through the system. Hill is 25. I don't think anyone is saying Marshall is necessarily a "really really good pitching prospect" like say a Prior or that his ceiling is as high as someone say Pawelek, but his control has been a nice attribute and his success at AA this year has been nice. I think he's seen as being a guy who can contribute as a 4th/5th starter behind Prior/Z/Wood. Definitely the top pitching prospect for me as well. Its nice that the higher upside prospects like Pawelek, Hill, and Marshall are all lefties as well. If some of them make the majors as a starter, maybe the others left out of the rotation could be turned into an effective reliever.

    would have loved a double play there...

    How many teams besides the A's make trades and use the newly acquired players to turn around and make another trade? I'm not trying to insult anyone, I'm genuinely curious how many times in recent history its been done (discluding the Oakland A's though).

    not only that, the mothers of those kids will blame him for all the illnesses of those kids in the future

    He played in a big college conference for years, he is advanced for Peoria. He isn't a young kid out of high school, its been said the league he's at now isn't any better than it was at the college level. His patience and his numbers so far have been nice, but its interesting to see how he does at the next level.

    Will be interesting to see how the former first round pick will do out of A ball. Although he lost a lot of value when he switched from SS to OF, at least he's a prospect again.

    he doesn't buy his own tickets, people just give him tickets

    Got my hopes up...

    Andre Dawson hit the softball farther than Jason Bay hit the baseball. Amazing. Is that Ernie coaching 1st base?
  12. VVMattVV
    and he grounds out
  13. VVMattVV
    Montenaz coming up with runners at the corners, 2 outs
  14. VVMattVV
    Yep, he's one of the two people from A ball starting on his World team.

    There is another month of playing time for Neifi
  16. VVMattVV
    Got to love the walks

    We have Nomar, Fox, and Williamson on the 60 day DL, so when Williamson is eventually called up this year the 40-man will be full.
  18. VVMattVV
    There is a flashchat going on, in case anyone is interested

    Which of the Jaxx players are most deserving of a September call-up? The Jaxx were blessed with many All-star selections, but how could they snub Brandon Sing with the year he has had?

    If you have a young daughter, are sitting in what my friends call "line drive to the face territory" and don't want her to get hurt, its ok to take a glove. In other instances... not really.
  21. VVMattVV
    Oblique strain, Beckett leaves another game.

    Neifi gives us more balance in the lineup? His OBP under 300 in front of Lee? He has been awful since March. Nomar would have certainly outproduced Neifi in every offensive category. We don't need balance in the lineup (the whole lefty righty thing is overrated), we need guys to actually get on base in front of Lee/Ramirez. Just because a guy hits over 30 HRs doesn't mean he doesn't get on base; I'm not sure what point you were trying to make with that. Only thing Neifi provides is a steady glove. He's a decent backup.

    I thought he was Jon Davis that wrote that horrible column every week in the Daily Herald. It was Cub Week and it came out on Friday. I also thought Jon was at least 40. Just came off that way.
  24. VVMattVV
    Maddux as the 4th/5th starter isn't so bad. Most teams would love that. I don't understand the logic in pulling him from games to stop that option. Put more stress on the pen is something that is going to hurt the other starters and the team overrall. I'd lose a lot of respect for a team that did that, no way the Cubs should or would do that.

    I just had two tickets for the outfield bleacher seats, but my cousin said his friend sold them (for Saturday's game). argh
