    I know it's spring and his patience could still use some work, but if lowering his hands is helping him get the bat to the ball and make hard contact more consistently, he may actually prove to be quite useful. stance & swing looks a lot like JJ Hardy now (which isn't to say i expect that level of power)
  2. sneakypower
    basically to a man, all the guys who'll be sent north have done a good job of controlling the strike zone this spring
  3. sneakypower
    Rizzo's HR was of the opposite-field variety
  4. sneakypower
    Wally Pzizpp
  5. sneakypower
    yeah, i expect him to be in there April 17th
  6. sneakypower
    swap out Hammel for Lester, and switch TLS/AA's positions and this is probably the opening day lineup
  7. sneakypower
    they're assuming he misses 22 games http://www.predictionmachine.com/Kris-Bryant-Demoted-by-Chicago-Cubs so that's plainly wrong
  8. sneakypower
    If by athleticism you mean "runs fast," yeah, it's been there all along. @BenBadler Matt Szczur now in CF. Guy looks like he could deadlift a school bus if he wanted to (from 7/2011)
  9. sneakypower
    Szczur was BA's #64 prospect in '12 after a 10 HR season, but has hit just 8 in the three seasons since the (faint?) hope is basically that his swing was badly broken before and he's discovered something mechanically that works much better for him
  10. sneakypower
    Fowler
  11. sneakypower
    Sands & Szczur
  12. sneakypower
    be that as it may, i was strongly hoping we'd replace him with something better than the most hittable pitcher in baseball
  13. sneakypower
    the good kind of pain
  14. sneakypower
    i remember all the reports of his potential as a RP, but i don't think i ever once saw his supposed arm strength really manifest itself in the OF; i was really hoping for a laser show reminiscent of Soriano's first couple seasons here

    we jettisoned Wesley Wright so we could have Phil Coke blows my fucken mind
  17. sneakypower
  18. sneakypower
    he was similarly held back, but there was no argument to be made about him being over-ripe because he was FOUR years younger than Bryant is now
  19. sneakypower
    i'm high on our lineup but the defense has the potential to be really trashy
  20. sneakypower
    Hector Olivera's a different situation because he was not signed at the beginning of the MLB draft (and also likely to start season in minors) pretty analogous to Aledmys Diaz last year, just obviously older there is no rule that prevents this
  21. sneakypower
    similar situations we've had 2014 Alex Guerrero: - no previous MLB experience - selected in Roadkill MLB draft - starts the league in MLB verdict: had to stay on Roadkill main roster all year 2013 Bruce Rondon: - no previous MLB experience - selected in Roadkill MLB draft - did NOT start the year in MLB verdict: had to be removed from roster / added to FA list it seems like a person could have gambled on Kang at any point in the MLB draft (like Rondon, 2015 Micah Johnson) and risked losing him if he started in AAA, so he should fully qualify for waivers right now
  22. sneakypower
    majorly up his contact rate
  23. sneakypower
    261/315/312 in aaa last year. no thanks. he homered off Greg Holland, your argument is invalid
  24. sneakypower
    also a reminder that Hector Aloevera is in this draft, i think
  25. sneakypower
    i think you own my first rounder, too
