    Javy's contact rate has since graduated to merely 'disturbingly low'!

    oh great, now tadow is going to stick his throbbing purple head in here

    Mozeliak has an amazing ability to make other GMs forget the previous 6 months, or year, ever happened

    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
  5. sneakypower
    that is pretty embarrassing
  6. sneakypower
    i value Baez < Castro < Soler < Russell

    the Schwarber writeup was pretty barfy, but seeing a Drew comp slapped on McKinney made me faint on the spot

    mojo's gonna be the only person to choose Cespedes here

    we're signing a Cuban OF this winter

    that's actually a pretty fascinating trade, as it pertains to player value

    hey now, this guy was all about Travis Wood a couple months ago man, non-elite pitching is such a total crapshoot

    this is the closest you've ever come to being right about something

    Edmonds-esque

    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

    i think i'd still keep Sweeney over Coghlan, who only plays one position, and really poorly, at that

    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
  21. sneakypower
    if he were to hold his offensive output (.341 wOBA / 115 wRC+), with completely neutral (average) fielding, baserunning, that's still a 3+ win CF/2B

    BleacherNation (Luke Blaize) did their own top 40: http://www.bleachernation.com/2014/07/29/the-2014-bleacher-nation-top-40-prospects-midseason-update/ Tseng over Contra is pretty indefensible and seeing Russell 4th is pretty funny, but nothing else there really offends my sensibilities too much
  24. sneakypower
    he spent $30+ million on two middle relievers to be below-replacement-level! i mean, [expletive]
  25. sneakypower
    I apologized for bringing up the "lol ned colletti" thing without the requisite number of posts mocking ned colletti (3 or more?). but then everyone else's pavlovian freakout kicked in and all kinds of people starting [expletive] on ned colletti. because he's a very bad GM, even though ownership gives him enough money to spend that it doesn't really matter too much why is it hard to reconcile those two ideas?
