Yes, because not swinging at pitches outside the strike zone IS THE TRUE ENEMY.

He outright lists Baez as a 3B, which is probably why most of the difference. He basically sees Baez = Sano at this point, but oddly isn't that high on either, while Correa, Lindor and Russell are all in the top 8.

I count 3 not in any system - Rodon, Tanaka and Hoffman. What am I missing? Who said four? 8-[

Top 25 MLB prospects from Kiley McDaniel, including unsigned prospects: http://sbb.scout.com/2/1320072.html - 3 of the top 10 prospects aren't actually in any system right now. - All 4 Cub hitters are in the top 21.

Of course Janowicz loses in straight sets in the first round. Dmitrov also fell in 5 sets. Isner rolled an opponent like I've never seen.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 8-26-13
bukie replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Both. What was Rasin's question and what was McDaniel's response? See McDaniel's twitter feed. Raisin's comment was regarding the international prospects "twist" in his top 50 prospects, saying he hoped it didn't affect the positioning of the players from his favorite team. McDaniel apparently thought it was some kind of racist/nationalistic thing, and went off bizarrely for about an hour with various "humorous" replies. -

Nadal's got the toughest quarter draw easily though, with a hot Isner and Federer. If Isner had managed to land the Ferrer/Gasquet quarter, I'd probably pick him to reach the semis. EDIT: Plus Raonic and Janowicz are in the bottom half. The top half may have those 4, but there's nobody else besides maybe Dmitrov who's a threat (so if the quarters aren't Djokovic-Del Potro and Murray-Berdych, there was a huge upset). Predictions: Top quarter: Del Potro over Djokovic Second quarter: Murray over Berdych Third quarter: Raonic over Janowicz Fourth quarter: Nadal over Federer Final: Nadal over Del Potro

No; you didn't get it. He didn't say anything worth getting worked up about. At this point, SCS getting it would be the only reason to quote a post of his.

Oh good, more aramis fan fan nonsense.

We'll be on the lookout for a new NSBB account corroborating your story.

I think it actually has a lot to do with how much of a team and scheme sport it is. There are reasonable arguments that coaches are the most historically significant figures in football.

That's what I thought. If you're going to put a fb player's head on a mountain it has to be a QB and not a very good RB that played for like 6 years. Besides, QBs are pretty. I was thinking one of Unitas, Bradshaw, Marino, Montana, Elway, Favre (shudder) or even Manning (Peyton, not Eli). Those would be the only QBs that could be considered the best in the game for more than a couple years.

DeJesus traded to Nats for PTBNL
bukie replied to Andy's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
The Cubs can also re-sign DeJesus next season to help next season. -
Really interesting that he likes Baez's SS defense to wind up better than Castro's. And his comment that Bryant, Baez, Soler and Vogelbach have 40 HR power. Ie Rizzo and Castro better get their crap together. You keep insinuating that Rizzo is in danger of losing his job to Vogelbach, but I don't think that dog will hunt. Rizzo, imo, is only going to get better (he's still quite young, remember). I think he'd have to get worse before we got into "he batter watch out for Vogelbach" territory. I for one enjoy the irony of the guy who keeps harping on new toy syndrome (to the point of bumping his own threads to pat himself on the back) constantly ready to replace the productive young major leaguers at a moment's notice.

I don't know how you've done it, bukie. You have played the weakest schedule (150 points lower than the next closest team) and yet you finish with the two lowest-scoring teams. Nice set up. Defense wins championships. blind luck helps I'll never refuse it.

All my team needs to do to win the division is beat the lowest 2 scoring teams in the league. Set up to fail gloriously.

No, that's correct.

Truffles team ended up with eight starts this week. May not matter anyway, but it is what it is.

FULL INSTANT REPLAY COMING (minus strike zone)
bukie replied to Schwarber Fan's topic in General Baseball Talk
Baseball should take the hockey method of reviewing calls and the tennis method of challenging balls and strikes. -
I included England because if the UEFA playoffs started today they would be the ninth team and wouldn't qualify.
-
This World Cup will be a bit of a unique case where I'd want no part of the host country's group, and the seeded teams would all reasonably be the best 8 teams. Still almost no way the USMNT gets a seed (especially if they go just by FIFA ratings again) I'd want absolutely no part of a Brazil, Spain, Argentina, Germany group. Other 4 would likely be from group of Netherlands, Italy, Portugal, Colombia, Croatia, Belgium, Greece, Uruguay, England. Among all those, the only countries even in remote danger of not qualifying are Uruguay and England.

Jozy's three goals: http://espnfc.com/video/espnfc/video/_/id/1522547?cc=5901

Brooks did really well on Dzeko, that 90th minute goal was just a really good goal. All three of Jozy's tallies were world class. Great touch by Bradley to set up the 3rd.
