Took a look at my team, and it looks like I'll be set up as such: 1B Hosmer - exempt 2B Dozier - exempt SS Reyes - 275.25 OF Bruce - 507.75 OF Ellsbury - 453.00 SP Cobb - exempt SP Quintana - exempt SP Locke - exempt RP Jansen - exempt SP Holland (548) or SP Bailey (562.5) Total: 1784 (w/Holland) or 1798.5 (w/Bailey) I'll listen to offers for either Holland or Bailey, but keep in mind Holland is out until June at least.
I don't think Vitters is as much of a non-prospect as Law does, but I am skeptical about his AAA numbers being over just 100 PA. What is the success rate of high school draftees who spend 6 years in the minor league system?
Vizcaino, Black and Zastryzny. Scott Frazier is probably a choice for me before some of the names already on the list, but doesn't have to be on there quite yet, IMO.
To see how badly Manning played last night and know that Rex's performance was significantly worse than that is nauseating. I remember when the Bears led that game 7-0 and had the ball at midfield before the offense ever saw the field. That was the last good feeling I had about the game.
Their remaining away slate is going to make that difficult. Man City, Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Man U. Also, despite now being all the way in 11th position, they're still just 2 points clear of relegation.
He basically said in his chat yesterday that until Vogelbach shows more power results, he's a non-starter as a prospect since his value is solely in his hitting. As for Olt, either his vision problems are fixed and he's in the majors or they're not and his career is over.
Law's Cubs top 14 (he lists the top 10 and the next 4): 1. Baez 2. Bryant 3. Soler 4. Almora 5. Edwards 6. Alcantara 7. Johnson 8. Candelario 9. Corey Black 10. Vizcaino 11. Zastryzny 12. Eloy Jimenez 13. Scott Frazier 14. Tyler Skulina
Those are some unbelievably great storylines on 5 of the 8 series if it were to hold: Pens/Wings, Bruins/Habs, Leafs/Rangers, Hawks/Canucks, Blues/Kings Also, potential 2nd round matchups of Hawks/Blues and Pens/Leafs That isn't how the playoffs work anymore. Is that yahoo link even accurate? I don't see the "divisional matchup" aspect at play at all. No, it's not accurate.
