Hard to believe that a year ago last week, Brett Jackson was the easy #1 prospect in the system, and now he's 5th without really falling off his projection.
-
Zlatan Ibrahimovic goal. Had to triple check to remind myself that he's a Swede and not Ukrainian. And Ukraine equalizes before I can finish the post.

If Soler sees the majors this year, the Cubs just got away with highway robbery.
-
Thoughts from various message boards: GRB: 3.3M AAV is not a bad gamble to see if the guy works out. BF.net: Wish the Brewers had gotten involved in the bidding SOSH: Theo!!! *shakes fist* WSI: Soler is an anagram for "loser" so he'll fit right in. -
lol Mets. On the plus side, by that time they'll only owe Bret Saberhagen for another 8 years.
-
So does knowing that the original call was wrong ruin the excitement for you?
-
Jorge Soler signed with the Cubs. He was picked up in the supplemental supplemental round.
-
@BruceMiles2112: Source confirms to me what has been reported nationally: Jorge Soler to #Cubs
-
Just so everyone's clear, he's still not eligible to be picked up until next year's prospect draft, right?
-
Yeah, a single tweet without a reference is hardly concrete proof.
-
This statement has just as much truth towards it. Except I'm not sure how barley fits in.
-
Well now we do.

So, Stony Brook, then. -
At the high school level, a lot of players are position players and pitchers. Those kind of players are usually the best player on the team at everything, so they often have to decide which way they'll want to go before they get drafted.
-
This whole conversation is stupid. Jeff hasn't been trying to lose all year, and if someone makes a move that is questionable, ask a damned question. Don't just assume the worst because it's not you.
-
Thus marking the third consecutive inning Stony Brook couldn't hold a 1-run lead to end the game.
-
I'll Have Another has apparently been put out to pasture because of a tendon injury sustained in practice today. Curious how much money the owners would have lost in breeding $ if the horse didn't win tomorrow.
-
Sounds like that'll blow the majority of their bonus pool, though. One football injury and the pick is wasted. Don't know if I would have wanted the Cubs to risk it.
-
George Solar.
-
Prieto was the Cubs' 5th round pick, with a $257k slot allotment. Hoffner was a 14th round pick, which allowed up to $100k allotment without counting against the bonus pool.

Note: This was said before Poland's keeper decided to be a complete and total idiot.

Re: What would you deal Garza for?

Your point: It's too early to give up on Minor, because Roy Halladay had similar struggles early in his career. Response: Well, judging from the other 61 examples of highly regarded players struggling early in their career, odds aren't good for Minor. But sure, misinterpreting, laughs, whatever makes you feel better about it. My point: You don't give up on a recent top prospect after 180 innings and you don't ignore trading a half season rental of a 35 year old pitcher who won't be on the team next year for him. Especially when that player will still be under team control for several years Roy Halladay was merely an example, not the reason. If you all sincerely think the latter, well then... okay. The last three pages of this thread were discussing 61 reasons you do kind of give up on a recent top prospect after 25 miserable starts. You pointing out Roy Halladay is just using the exception to try to prove your rule. -
Poland could win Group A. Anybody from Group B would win Group A, though.

Both Fab Johnson and Edgar Castillo are out tonight v Antigua and Barbuda. I'm not sure who you put at left back now, but this team should be able to beat Antigua and Barbuda without anybody at left back, so I'm just hoping they're healthy for the Guatemala trip.

Right now, people only ever watch if there's the possibility of a Triple Crown. So, they'll watch the Belmont if one horse already won the other two big races. So, horse racing is so popular that people watch one race every five years.
