    We have plenty of guys with huge ceilings. The problem is more about the holes in their game.

    For the Cubs, sticking at second is the only requirement to being viewed as a significant prospect.

    Not the first time I've seen Cole to the Cubs. He'd be a good high risk/high reward pick. Crawford...eh. I doubt he goes sandwich but the last 2 weeks have been amazing for him - he's been taking pitches, making much better contact and (unsurprisingly) has gone on a tear. Another BB today, hit a triple and went oppo field for a HR too. He's got a double, a triple, 2 HRs, 2 BBs and is hitting somewhere around .500 in the regionals, playing his usual good defense. I really would like him after the 2nd round. Good for him. Last I'd heard, he had dropped into the 3rd or 4th.

    Just wait until the Pirates call up McCutchen. Yeesh. Who's a scary young talent with the Astros? Seriously... that system is devoid of talent.

    Welcome to my sig.

    And both Brownlie and Johnson had a prior history of arm problems. With the two guys this year (Cashner and Fields) that may be avaiable at 19, they have very impressive mechanics, and neither throw across their bodies. Heck in Cashner's case, he has only pitched 50 innings this year! Both of the arms are very fresh, and Fields's Slurve is almost unhittable. I'm just saying, I think passing on both of these guys would be a mistake. If we could get a starter, I would complain less about picking a college arm in the 1st... but if we actually used our pick to grab a reliever, that might be one of the worst decisions we could possibly make... For the record, in terms of people who might be available, these are the guys I'd be going after. Hosmer (obviously) Hicks Casey Kelly Gerrit Cole Jake O I don't hate a Lawrie pick, but it certainly wouldn't be the way I'd go.

    Barry Bonds

    Absolutely not. The O's would come out asking for Hill+ based on his potential, and completely ignore th huge risks associated with him.
  9. Rob
    MLBAM would be a good place to start looking.

    Coming into tonight, Soriano had a higher VORP than Fukudome, despite having significantly fewer PA. Granted, that doesn't cover the difference in their defensive value... but damn.

    The Yankees don't play their best SS at SS either. You wanna argue with all their rings? And since they've played him away from SS, no rings. LOGIC WAR. I wouldn't recommend it. I declared war on logic once, and now my apartment looks like an M.C. Escher painting.

    It wasn't a hit and run. DLee was under no obligation to swing at anything he thought was a ball.
  13. Rob
    Do NOT send Theriot.
  14. Rob
    What are the odds that Theriot gets caught stealing during Fukudome's AB?

    i honestly think joe morgan is better than sutcliffe I was going to say that but I didn't know if I was going too far. Just avoid the cancer jokes. Everything else is game with Sutcliffe.

    Edmonds sitting against a right hander... that's the beginning of the end for his tenure.
  17. Rob
    Do you not listen to him suggest a bunt or a hit and run every inning?
  18. Rob
    Is the Comcast HD feed a little off for anybody else? It doesn't really look HD.
  19. Rob
    Why is everybody surprised Edmonds is batting 6th? He got a hit last night... we need to ride his bat while it's hot.
  20. Rob
    Keep Wood exactly where he is. Move Marmol to the rotation. Cut Marquis. Win.
  21. Rob
    This game has not been pretty. I am shocked we are winning right now.
  22. Rob
    With Juan Pierre at the plate, I wouldn't hesitate to underhand-lob it to the plate if that's what it took to get a strike... Instead, we get a walk and a stolen base.
  23. Rob
    Jim Edmonds for Andy Marte.
  24. Rob
    The Cubs have outscored the Pirates 81-41 so far for the season series.
  25. Rob
    I got offered Ryan Ludwick and Johnny Cueto for Alfonso Soriano. I know Ludwick is on a tear and all, but Sori is worth a lot more than that.
