Minor League Discussion & Boxes 6-10-13
sneakypower replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
he very well should be. -
more than anything, i'd like to do away with the weekly waivers garbage, and just have them set to 2-3 days like a normal league would do it gets to Saturday and a pitcher gets scratched so you're trying to fill in via FA, only the only three or four palatable options are somehow still on waivers despite being dropped like a week ago ugh
-
i am excite
-
Budweiser fan cam for player of the game
-
well that was pretty fuckin stupid
-
Cuddyer broke down again and i subbed Loney into 1B and pulled back Weeks from the bench exciting stuff

eh, still preferred Gray there, but i wasn't going to be devastated either way
-
i'm fine with it just on the slim chance some of the younger free-swingers will see his approach work and have a light bulb go on about working the count, etc. i realize that's a very remote possibility, but if nothing else it helps restore my blood pressure to normal levels after watching some of the terrible Castillo, Castro ABs
-
well, his numbers were better than Gerardo Concepcion's last year... http://claydavenport.com/stats/webpages/2011ppageCBArealALL.shtml Concepcion: 102 IP, 3.8 BB/9, 4.7 K/9 - 3.36 ERA Gonzalez: 113 IP, 2.3 BB/9, 5.9 K/9 - 3.19 ERA but then again, he was six years older

Who is he? viewtopic.php?f=9&t=60950&p=2948784#p2948784 -
i hope JD doesn't have any more children
-
YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES
-
wow, that forkball i'm not even mad
-
Barney's such a stud defensively
-
lol wut
-
at any rate, ZiPS, a more...proven system, projected him 50 OPS pts higher than that before the season and it's reasonable to assume holding firm at a higher level should only serve to improve that projection
-
damn, too bad my predecessor foolishly made the mistake of moving Braun off 3B once upon a time i could have been all "oh, what...he's an outfielder now??"
-
moreover i see that Machado's only eligibilities per CBS are 3B, U but when i try to force Cuddyer (79 more career games [79] at 2B than Machado's had [0] at SS) into my 2B pit of despair, no dice apparently there are even more ridiculous league loopholes i haven't picked up on yet
-
i'd love to hear how you came up with that Nate Silver
-
last i looked a few days ago, he'd just missed on a few HRs and underperformed his xbabip a little bit to where assuming neutral or slightly positive batted ball fortunes he'd be performing right at his career averages i'd say i'm 'concerned', but not yet 'worried'; i'd obviously preferred that this would be a year he'd make another step forward and that hasn't happened, but sometimes that happens more abruptly for a player than gradual improvements
-
that ridiculous tulo trade's got me wondering why tim's been playing machado at shortstop all year like, if i had wil myers or bryce harper or josh willingham could i play them at catcher?
-
i'm ambivalent toward Mozeliak as a GM, but it's pretty undeniable their player development is as good as it gets; a fairly high amount of their prospects reach their supposed ceilings

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 6-3-13
sneakypower replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Alcantara's 150 G / 550 AB pace right now is 76 R, 25 HR, 79 RBI, 41 SB (54 BB, 139 K) & .282/.350/.480 (.333 babip) the only qualifying players in the Southern League who are younger than Alcantara are Christian Yelich, Joc Pederson and Roni Torreyes Mike Newman (FG) liked him quite a bit in his preseason Southern League rankings: Arguello had a pretty glowing write-up too, from late April i think if he keeps playing at this rate, he'll be a universal inclusion in top-100 lists -
more (platoon) power huagh huagh ho http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CJZNr05VEDA/TrxLxyL1PeI/AAAAAAAAAD4/0qZ82ZuqHGE/s400/tim%2Btaylor.jpg
