    well, they have Tony Cingrani just hanging out there in the bullpen
  2. sneakypower
    every player in baseball can DH for an AL team, i don't know how this is a special skill that Castillo would possess
  3. sneakypower
    i'd always wondered last season why they never experimented with him or Lake in the IF with the idea of having a more versatile/useful bench player in the future, but if there were ever any intentions of trying him at 3B seems like tonight would be the perfect opportunity, with Wood being so FB-heavy and you could effectively swap out Herrera for Szczur in the lineup but it's exceedingly unlikely that's being considered an option at all

    there's no way they delay his call-up Theo's even being amusingly circuitous with his roster management: "oh man, our bullpen is just so taxed right now" (cut to Friday) "wow, i just noticed we have no healthy third basemen..." he dgaf, nor should he, really what would ever we do without his .579 career OPS and 38% Ks?

    Carter Capps has perfected the Walden hop http://s3.amazonaws.com/br-cdn/temp_images/2015/04/14/805a254ffc0f95bb847ef453b5a5f7de.gif?1429026873

    but this is so much less of an issue in Wrigley than it is in spacious LF like Coors/PNC/Petco i'm a little bit excited by the idea of completely reversing course on the defense-first craze of the last 5? years in baseball and putting out a (relative) murderer's row lineup where nobody but Rizzo is a plus fielder Fowler CF Soler RF Rizzo 1B Bryant 3B Coghlan LF Castro SS Montero C P Alcantara 2B also, to your point, he was a completely neutral rating to UZR last year for some reason i'm curious about, but yeah, DRS wasn't so kind

    got it on my first guess i'll credit the countless hours i played this game as a kid, though: http://cache.coverbrowser.com/image/dos-games/2051-1.jpg

    is currently 2nd in wRC+ amongst all qualified MLB hitters this year, and is hitting .287/.357/.471 overall as a Cub higher fWAR than Castro over that period (and every other non-Rizzo position player) maybe there's something there? ZiPS isn't so hopeful, but his spotty, injury-ridden track record helps to explain that
  9. sneakypower
    everything about this is awesome - umpire's Frank Drebin imitation - batter's trouble coming to terms with cold, harsh reality - catcher's hollywood framing pose / sell-job
  10. sneakypower
    Cam Erving, OL, FSU
  11. sneakypower
    i liked it before it was cool (Baez Hate Hipster?)
  12. sneakypower
    um, that HR hurt our o-swing percentage
  13. sneakypower
    i hope we kept the receipt from the Jon Lester purchase
  14. sneakypower
    nobody should be surprised when that happens
  15. sneakypower
    well that was very nice of them to sit Hamilton today against Mr. Free Steals

    reddit (/r/nfl_draft) did a 5-round community draft that's worth checking out if you're the kind of degenerate that loves this kind of stuff: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ORbIDMbd-L7fTjDu5XHPNhwjdkPenEpbT4ys5ya-VqY/edit?pli=1#gid=932546680

    then we have another top-25 position player prospect nbd
  19. sneakypower
    strikes/balls swings Coghlan 5.5 Rizzo 4.3 Fowler 3.9 Montero 2.9 Olt 2.8 Alcantara 2.7 Soler 2.4 Castro 2.1 last year, Valbuena led regulars with 2.4 strikes swung at vs. balls swung at
  20. sneakypower
    i am, but that's because i've paid enough attention to his history as an executive to see he's proven to be pretty much beyond reproach when it comes to player development
  21. sneakypower
    oh yeah, get him up here quick to expunge Coghlan's 1000+ OPS from the lineup
  22. sneakypower
    Good. The hardest voice to listen to in all of sports media, imo. Dickie V
  23. sneakypower
    and all it took to get him was a waiver claim we reformed and the sweetener of the hilarious Russell/McKinney heist
  24. sneakypower
    (heavy breathing)
  25. sneakypower
    can't believe that one stayed in the yard
