    I'd gladly take that line over the next 3 years. I doubt Pujols/Fielder will be worth 12-15 million more than that. Pena has had an OBP that high twice in his career, and a SLG that high once. I said i'd gladly take that line for the next 3 years. I was speaking hypothetically.

    What the heck happened to Caridad? I remember going into last year thinking he was going to be a pretty important piece to the bulpen.

    Who cares?

    Law's thoughts on day 2 for the Cubs: Cubs: Dan Vogelbach (2) will be a fan favorite ("Heavy D" seems to be the obvious nickname) if he makes it to the majors as a super-sized left-handed hitter with power to match and no defensive value whatsoever. Tony Zych (4) is one of the hardest-throwing relievers in the draft with two above-average pitches but needs to improve his command to profile as a late-game guy. Right-hander Tayler Scott (5) flashed good velocity early in the spring and is an excellent athlete but is more of a long-term project. Trevor Gretzky (7), son of you-know-who, has some power but is very raw as a baseball player and probably would be best served going to college. Taylor Dugas (8) is at the other end of the spectrum, lacking Gretzky's physical gifts but showing an uncanny ability to square up the ball and make hard contact even though he's just 5-foot-8. Two likely unsignable picks who'd be great gets in later rounds: Shawon Dunston Jr. (11) and Dillon Maples (14). Even without them, it's a solid, deep crop.

    From Law: The son of Shawon Dunston, the No. 1 overall pick in the 1982 draft, he might be the least likely player on the top 100 to sign given his disappointing senior year and strong commitment to Vanderbilt, but he has the tools to become a first-round talent in 2014 if he gets stronger. He wraps his bat slightly but has excellent bat speed and good hip rotation to produce hard line-drive contact, and showed at the Area Code Games last year that he had an idea at the plate. His bat speed is good enough for him to turn on above-average fastballs, but he'll need more upper-body strength to convert those line drives into more hits. He's a plus runner with a strong arm who should be able to handle centerfield. The tough spring performance hurt his stock for the 2011 draft, but Vandy develops players as well as almost any program and it's an ideal spot for Dunston if he doesn't sign.

    Keith Law ranked him the 58th best prospect.

    This doesn't sound at all like anything else i've read on him.

    Catchers bat 8th.
  10. nick23
    Really? I think Geo's a top 3 NL catcher, but he's been pretty bad this year.
  11. nick23
    So basically picking up where he left off.
  12. nick23
    Yes, he seems like a very good kid. I never understood why exactly he went to Kentucky. That said, seeing as the same seems to hold true for Irving, I fail to see how that's relevant, at all, in any comparison. Yeah, it makes no sense that a PG would want to go play for Calipari.
  13. nick23
    I was thinking the exact same thing.
  14. nick23
    Safety squeeze Nice job Quade.
  15. nick23
    Did we just squeeze? Gamecast said sacrifice.
  16. nick23
    We're not going to score this inning.
  17. nick23
    Have we won the opening game of a series yet? I think it'd be fun to at least dream of a potential sweep after the first game of a series.

    Oklahoma City is clearly the better team. Memphis is going to have to find a way to steal another one on the road.
  19. nick23
    Gotta think Arizona goes Pastner - get someone with at least some Arizona ties rather than another guy who can bail in 2 years? I highly doubt Pastner leaves Memphis with the team he has next year. I think he's going to be pretty loyal to Memphis for giving him his first shot. Who knows though, I could be wrong.

    According to my wife, they can't hear you when you do that.

    I smell a gapper.

    I wouldn't have. That at bat was awful. Putz just walked a guy on four pitches. Baker jumps on his first pitch. The pitcher is in trouble. I hope someday we get a GM who values patient hitters. Not one that allows one of his more patient and productive hitters to hit 8th. I didn't say it was a good at bat just that I trust Baker there more than Dewitt right now.
  23. nick23
    I still would've rather had Baker up instead of Dewitt though.
  24. nick23
    This i'm afraid of.

    The Grizz reallly really need to finish this off tonight. You're just not going to win a game 7 in San Antonio. Especially playing five against eight. The crowd in Memphis will be absolutely insane tonight with the 8:00 tip. That's a lot of time to spend on Beale St. before a game.
