    Sure I can. Not an exact match here, but assuming Turner winds up the top bat in the draft, are you taking him or Rodon, if both are there? I'd consider that a *really* tough call. I hate taking pitchers this high that much. unfortunately our divisional opponents have no qualms about it, and we'll have the fun task of dealing with Gerrit Cole, Michael Wacha, Jameson Taillon, Homer Bailey, Shelby Miller, Robert Stephenson, etc. for a very long time

    the annoyingly overlooked part of this equation is we're forcing guys down the defensive spectrum to accommodate each other, thereby immediately destroying part of their value Bryant likely won't fit in with Alcantara & Baez -or- Olt/Villanueva/Candelario, so he's likely already set for corner OF, making him a whole lot less interesting; it's possibility of Troy Glaus (exciting) vs. Pat Burrell (not so exciting) sadly that's not a situation we'll have to worry about with pitchers for a seemingly very long time

    we've been so obsessed over minimizing risk on pitchers, that we'll be probably opening camp next year with Edwin Jackson as our best starter, all while guys like Lucas Giolito and Jon Gray are set to dominate (to say nothing of FA efforts)

    his crystal ball's 30/30 UK maybe he'll be like Rashad Vaughn and shock the world though
  5. sneakypower
    no, that policy already cost us Jon Gray

    can we sticky this again? feel free to delete this post afterward

    it seems weird to me that Almora bats & throws right-handed, but writes lefty

    i didn't see this posted, but BA did a Best Tools for HSers List which i found informative: http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/early-draft-preview-high-school-best-tools/ Gettys has to have freakish upside defensively, if these are remotely accurate

    would someone just run over Tom Izzo already? http://mgoblog.com/sites/mgoblog.com/files/images/8f53c752ae72_123AB/12740889643_ac3fc196dd_o1_thumb.gif

    KC drafted Keith Law's #10 overall prospect in that spot, i'm sure they're still probably ok with their choice
  11. sneakypower
    why?

    not super impressed with Castro's bat speed
  14. sneakypower
    fwiw, ZiPS puts market value on an extension at 6/89, buying out remaining arb year(s)
  15. sneakypower
    Alcantara at 100 is a letdown
  16. sneakypower
    just stumbled on this- pretty cool and for the most part i like the order: 2014 Chicago Cubs Consensus Top 51 Prospects http://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/2014/2/17/5415638/2014-chicago-cubs-top-prospects-consensus

    this is about where i'd start thinking Szczur, if he were listed
  18. sneakypower
    ...rosters were supposed to have been set already; that wouldn't be legal
  19. sneakypower
    I could get used to that. Kevin Love whiffing on pick & rolls? or is that the other Bulls fantasy
  20. sneakypower
    you're my boo, Tim Miles
  21. sneakypower
    that ugly gump Kampinsky is such a nightmare matchup for us
  22. sneakypower
    i'm kind of expecting it
  23. sneakypower
    good to see Wood's taking hydration seriously
  24. sneakypower
    true to his name, Henry Blanco goes white
  25. sneakypower
    i've always liked Emilio for mostly superficial reasons, but you know a guy with a career 8% walk rate despite minimal power has the kind of hitting approach Theo wants to incorporate he's also a pretty good case study for positional adjustments career, he's roughly UZR/150 at 2B/3B: -5 SS: -10 RF/LF: +5 CF: -5
