  1. #Cubs select contracts of 4 to add to 40-man roster: RHP Trey McNutt, IF Christian Villanueva, IF Logan Watkins & RHP Robert Whitenack Bryan LaHair designated for assignment. #Cubs say they are pursuing opportunity for him in Japan. Also, RHP Carlos Gutierrez cleared waivers & assigned to Minor Leagues. #Cubs

  3. Villanueva strikes me as a Joe Randa quality prospect (different profiles, though).
  4. The only possible argument against Trout is that he played in 22 fewer games than Cabrera.
  5. It's just awful that these five game series begin with the games played at the teams with the worse record.
  6. C-, which makes him one of the very greatest managers in Chicago Cubs history.

    The fans have had high expectations. Leadership has not.
  8. Maybe Jaye Chapman is Theo's Chad Bradford.
  9. Good list, but where's Paniagua?
  10. Pretty much, yeah. I can see calling Justin Marra a prospect at catcher. He's 19 and OPS'd .947 with average to above average defensive tools. Clearly the infield was filled with them. Vogelbach (19) killed NWL pitching. Candelario (18) and Amaya (19) are clearly deserving. Stephen Bruno (21) is a year old for this league but he hit like he belonged in a Low-A so you can call him a prospect and Marco, who turned 20 at season's end, still retains prospect status, though it waned a bit this year. But unless you consider Rock Shoulders (20) a true LFer, I'd say Theo was one position short. Almora (18) and Trey Martin (19) are the only guys I'd consider prospects in Boise's outfield at the end of the year. How many consider Shoulders a true prospect at 1B after hitting .250/.342/.447/.789 while at an age appropriate level? I guess he's certainly at least a borderline one and too young to count out. And does anybody have any info on Rock's ability to play LF? Thanks. I believe Bruno was playing RF at the end of the season.
  11. Jason Berken. And Raley has been shut down, it's Rusin instead of him. Although they're basically the same pitcher anyway. I'm surprised Rusin isn't at his innings limit yet. He's at 154.1 and Raley was at 155 when he was shut down. Could be the age difference.
  12. I'm surprised Garbey was let go. He was supposedly some sort of half-assed mentor for Soler.
  13. Recker is actually younger than Lalli. Plus, his middle name is "Vito".
  14. toonster, what are your thoughts on A.J. Morris? The previous administration thought enough of him to acquire him even while he was injured.
  15. Probably will be near impossible to make up the 10 games to jump the Astros, but the 5 games in the loss column against the Rockies is possible to overcome, imo. Assuming Shark is going to be shut down soon due to reaching an innings limit (which does anyone know what it is btw?) and Garza's health up in the air it's possible we have a combination Coleman, Rusin, Raley, Germano, Volstad, Wells, and/or Lopez starting every 2-3 days the rest of the season very soon. We still have 6 games against the Rockies and 9 against the Astros, fwiw. We'd probably have to lose like 7-8 of the games against the Astros that are left to have a chance of jumping them. Wells is out for the season with elbow surgery.
  16. Baez and Torreyes might be the two youngest.
  17. Mildly disconcerting that he can't even spell what he does for a living. Maybe he meant he's through (finished) with it. Or got through it without injury.
  18. Apparently a wrist injury. May not be "serious", but doubt he's getting traded anytime soon.
  19. Now that he's seriously injured, I think Hoyer should see if he can get Matt Karchner for him.
  20. Winner.
