Minor League Discussion & Boxes 5-05-2009
illiniguy replied to Outshined_One's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Minorleaguebaseball.com agrees with Raisin it appears. They have him with 3 homers. -
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ But how much money will this cost him in the long run? Bad decision on Bledsoe's part. He'll back up Wall this season and then probably Brandon Knight next season. He'll more than likely be over recruited his entire time at Kentucky. Well, they haven't got Wall yet. They probably won't. Duke is in on him too and he isn't even elligible as of yet. Plus he wants to try and go pro immediately. I think it was pry an easy sell.

Hell yeah, one of us is gonna win at least 5 games this year. You decide which one.
-
Make it a hearst.
-
Don't you guys add a stud class and return Warren? I imagine you will still be pretty good.
-
That's a very sad fantasy. He's eligible at just about every position. That's what makes him so valuable. That's what Dusty said about Macias. :banghead:

Lenny Cooke will get his next year.

Dear god, what has happened to Second City Hoops?
illiniguy replied to splintersag's topic in Other Sports
beats talking Illinois basketball. beats talking irrelevant hoops. yeah, thats what i said. How are you feeling about that whole Lickliter will have the Hawkeyes at the top of the big ten prediction these days? -
This reminds me of a poster that was on here last year abou tthis time telling us about how the Cubs were going to fall off and the Cards guys were more likely to keep it up. What was that poster's name??/
-
Fontenot, I think will do right about what he's doing. Bradley, I imagine will be a bit better than he has shown thus far. Dempster is doing right about what most thought he would. Fukudome will regress some, but I think it will be a lot better than he was last year. Plus Geo will hit and Aramis will come back at some point.
-
We still didn't get enough in return for him. But, yeah when the offense starts to click we won't miss him as much.

A front 3 of Wainright, Carpenter and Loshe may not be tops in the league, but it will be better than average. hypothetically, of course. As hypothetical as 90% of the discussions we have on sites like this, of course. I dont get it. The Cardinals were 4 games out of a playoff spot last year while leading baseball in blown saves, having Aaron Miles, Itzturis and Adam Kennedy as every day players, getting 15 innings from Carpenter but 200 innings from Braden Looper. All this while playing in perhaps the strongest division in baseball. If the Cards improved even a little bit on all of that and the Brewers, Astros and Cubs regress just a little bit, I dont know why anyone wouldnt expect St. Louis to compete. Well from last year you have already lost Glaus. by you I mean the Cardinals and replace him with two career minor leaguers who are out producing him. But, that would be one area where you would regress. I would also assume that most people, Cardinal fans included, expected guys like Ludwick and Ankiel to regress. Hence why you saw a ton of trade these guys posts on most Cardinal message boards this off season. I still don't think they can keep this up.

Stupid Almezaga. We could be going for a sweep.
-
A good rule of thumb is to not pick up anyone the Royals cut.

Some of the stats make no sense so far this year, I know sample size and all. I always love a good anomaly, don't you ? :wink: Well I was a big fan of 1907 and 1908, so yes.

Extra Innings isn't available for Saturday games before 6pm. Fox has the right to all of the games before then.
-
Well they suck. Their bullpen is Cubesque.
-
Nats have a man on thrid with only one out, I imagine Piniero will pitch out of it.
-
Yeah, but probably at first base.
-
Geo is starting to show some signs.
-
A jake fox/ micah hoffpauir one?
-
Just retire already
-
the nats had guys on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out and didn't score. :banghead:
