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

2.05 xFIP, 1.31 FIP...YOWZA
-
well that was a pretty shameful display by Borbon
-
our starters collectively have the best team BABIP in baseball right now, at .263, so Feldman's .254 figure doesn't seem super crazy given his GB tendencies and our superlative IF defense: past 2 seasons Rizzo - 3rd-best UZR/150 (qualified): +11 Barney - best UZR/150 (qualified): +14 Valbuena - 2nd-best UZR/150 (min 800 inn): +24 (!) and Castro has gradually improved his problems with errors and may develop into a plus as well, from the average fielder he is now suffice it to say, it's a favorable setup for pitchers and if we can capitalize on a pitcher's (defense-aided) success by getting another team to overpay, i'm all for it (Shark, maybe Garza aside)
-
that might be the deepest i've ever seen a 2B catch a line drive
-
this has been a good day for platoons.
-
lol wut
-
for the past month, Castillo, Castro & Soriano all have better BB rates than Rizzo
-
he had an 84 G stretch in the middle of the season last year hitting .245/.283/.389 and finished it up with a 47 G stretch hitting .311/.370/.481 sure it's frustrating to watch on a day-by-day basis, but it's probably a little bit foolish to try making any sweeping conclusions from a relatively small sample like that
-
in 3 months, probably
-
only sacrifice flies are factored in OBP, the bunts don't matter should be .300/.300/.660 after that last AB by Wood i think we found the new market inefficiency
-
6 sac bunts & 55 PA
-
may we never speak of the DH again.
