  1. I thought Schwarber's performance behind the plate since he'd been drafted would have led to a more positive assessment of his catching abilities. Hasn't he acquitted himself pretty well? i was equally disturbed by their characterization of him as a dead pull hitter, which is such a death sentence these days, for lefties

  3. in preparation for the next Jaxon start http://31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m46kx7sbXk1ru118ho1_r2_400.gif
  4. i remember this spring wanting him in there to maybe be a future #3 if things went really well, but yeah, i doubt anybody foresaw this
  5. Javy's contact rate has since graduated to merely 'disturbingly low'!
  6. oh great, now tadow is going to stick his throbbing purple head in here
  7. Mozeliak has an amazing ability to make other GMs forget the previous 6 months, or year, ever happened
  8. Wow, Russell above all those guys? Where would you go if you include Rizzo and Bryant? see edit...tempted to put Soler above KB, but injury worries scared me off also, Contra a hair ahead of Baez
  9. i value Baez < Castro < Soler < Russell
  10. the Schwarber writeup was pretty barfy, but seeing a Drew comp slapped on McKinney made me faint on the spot
  11. mojo's gonna be the only person to choose Cespedes here
  12. that's actually a pretty fascinating trade, as it pertains to player value
  13. former stupid cubs coach dale sveum: http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view4/1546335/nosferatu-o.gif
  14. hey now, this guy was all about Travis Wood a couple months ago man, non-elite pitching is such a total crapshoot
  15. this is the closest you've ever come to being right about something

  17. jw but how are you feeling about the state of things at this point? I know you were starting to be down on things after the way last offseason went (as was I) with basically nothing happening, but a some positive things have happened since (in terms of development mainly plus the trade). wasn't there a GM approval poll at one point? whatever happened to those but for the sake of brevity, Arrieta maybe achieving near-ace status, trading Shark for Addison Russell, every pitcher of note throughout baseball all blowing out their elbows, Rizzo's monster breakout all helped me warm to the viability of the FO's direction, yes
  18. i think i'd still keep Sweeney over Coghlan, who only plays one position, and really poorly, at that

  20. eh, he still could have done that while listing them in a more justifiable order: Russell Bryant Soler Baez Alcantara Almora McKinney Schwarber Tseng Edwards Yeah, that wasn't to defend him. Doing something to make your list stand out just makes it a bad list. Tseng at 5 is pants on head. btw that might roughly be my current list; i put Alcantara & Baez next to each other for alphabetical convenience, mostly
