  1. Vitters out of the lineup again tonight. Something must be up.
  2. I'd sincerely doubt MLB voids the contract. This was a procedural error, not an attempt to bend the rules.
  3. This list isn't looking too pretty... and this year's draft isn't doing much to replace Soto, Donaldson, and Gallagher... let alone displace some of the junk on the list.
  4. I remember being peeved in 2006 when Theriot got the callup to play 2B instead of Fontenot. I don't know what it is, but I've always liked the little bugger.
  5. Indeed. Vitters and Samardzija are starting to look like very nice prospects.
  6. :-k Here's to hoping they're boarding a flight for Peoria.
  7. That's the final line for Samardzija.
  8. Wheels completely falling off in the sixth. Single, stolen base, strikeout swinging, wild pitch, sac fly, groundout. 6 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 9 SO, 1 BB, 0 HR, 5 GO - 4 FO
  9. Uneventful last two innings for Samardzija... 5.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 8 SO, 1 BB, 4 GO - 3 FO His PCL ERA is now 2.97.
  10. Karl Ravech can jump ship... that's about all I'd be in favor of though.
  11. Vitters had another single in the bottom of the 8th.
  12. Any idea why they chose Daytona over Iowa?
  13. Fernando Valenzuela is a good one.
  14. Chris Capuano, Hong-Chih Kuo, Victor Zambrano and Jeff Zimmerman have had two. Apparently Jose Rijo got it done three times. :shock: I seem to recall Chad Fox has had multiple TJS too.
  15. Cook is the NL player of the game, no doubt about that.
  16. I'd say the odds are pretty damn good that BA ranks Vitters our #1 prospect going into next season.
  17. If he ends up being a Type A, I'd let Dempster walk and collect the two draft picks.
  18. Does anybody happen to know what's changed that's allowing Samardzija to strike out more batters? Is he relying on a different pitch more often, has a pitch gotten better, etc...?
  19. Likewise, the argument can be made that if Hill actually pitches himself back into the big league rotation, he may be better than Lilly or even Dempster.
  20. The Cubs feel the same way about him. He's been a nice pitcher for them. We'll see him in Mesa next spring, for sure. Good to hear it. He's a guy I think we've all been rooting for.
  21. Congrats, Mitch! Though does that mean he doesn't get to go to the AA all-star game?
  22. Vitters seems to be winning some people over this season.
  23. http://www.hcnonline.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=19841942&BRD=1574&PAG=461&dept_id=532228&rfi=6 If they're really pitching him out of the pen there, you'd have to assume it's gonna be a pretty short stay in Boise.
