I believe that makes Alfonso Soriano the longest-tenured Cub — at least until he's traded and the title passes to Samardzija. -
From the standpoint of negotiating a contract extension, we've got Garza by the short hairs right now. He's certainly worth tendering a 1 year, 14 mil offer to. But he's not so good that teams will be lining up to give him the contract he wants AND lose their first rounder for the privilege. So we can probably get ourselves a pretty reasonable 2-3 year extension on his contract. Any Garza trade needs to reflect that leverage. Kelly and Hedges doesn't do that for me.

I'm not sure I like including the submissions that didn't bother to fill out the whole thing. One person did a top 5 and another just a top 7, which artificially inflates the gap between some of the later players. At any rate, I noticed that I definitely have a case of Shiny New Toy Syndrome compared to the rest of you. Bryant was #2. Zastryzny #9, Hanneman #13, and Skulina #25 on my list.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 6-10-13

Yeah, we've got some power coming up through the minors. -
Good pick
-
THEY'RE WATCHING US Apparently the front office liked your argument better.
-
I love the fact we picked a Mormon ten seconds after our religion conversation in this thread. That's fantastic timing.
-
Did I say I was thankful? Tim did Then take it up with Tim. I maintain its not weird just to bring up the fact it could potentially be an issue. Especially since it has at least presented a media distraction before.

Did I say I was thankful?

Thank you for making me happy we didn't pick him. You guys are weird I don't see why. That said, welcome to like 90% of athletes on Twitter. Oh, you see plenty of "Thank God" and "I'm so blessed" stuff, sure. Token Christianity, mostly. Not a lot of people memorizing and utilizing long quotes from scripture. If he's a bit of a bible-thumper, I can see that not going over well in a locker room full of guys many/most of whom party hard and/or cheat on their wives pretty frequently.

So much handsome at CF, 1B, and LF. Those are some good looking dudes, I must say. Where's Taiwan Easterling supposed to play?
-
I wonder how much input Derek Johnson has into the pitchers we draft.
-
Ok, that's interesting. I should know better than to listen to Mayo's opinion.
-
He sure better. Slot for our 2nd rounder was something like 1.3 or 1.4 mil, wasn't it?
-
I'm actually pretty confused by this one.
-
The Span comp made no sense. The whole night has been a clinic in latent racism, so why not keep the theme going? I can think of 3/5ths of a reason.
-
It kills me that MLB still insists on wasting five minutes in between picks. If the coverage was good, I'd be fine with it. But it's mostly moronic commentary and bad interviews. Cut it down to 2 minutes a pick and keep Jim Callis on screen at all times.
-
Is it just me, or is Harold Reynolds even worse than normal this year?
-
Yeah, I think that's true for me too. Wow.
-
Appel is quoting scripture. I'm sure that would have played out wonderfully in the locker room.
-
Yeah, I was just getting ready to pose the "Rank our top 4 prospects" question.
-
Bryant, nice.
-
This is kinda where I am. That's right now, of course. As similarly talented as they all are, my opinion seems to change for almost no reason whatsoever. I still think money might have to be the deciding factor, but they'll all probably be pretty close there too.
-
Very interesting. At this point I think I'd say Bryant if for no other reason than I think he'd be cheaper than Appel.
-
Can we re-draft Hayden Simpson?
