Minor League Discussion & Boxes 7-30-12
sneakypower replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Torreyes (per milb.com) first half (199 AB): .221/.284/.302 - 7% K, .235 BABIP, .081 ISO second half (133 AB): .331/.392/.519 - 5.6% K, .331 BABIP, .188 ISO and remember, he started the season as the youngest player in the league, by about 6 months http://www.baseballamerica.com/blog/prospects/2012/04/the-youngest-players-in-each-full-season-league/ -

You call it turning up their nose, I call it realistic descriptions of what we got. Sure we can use such things. But they aren't exactly tough to find. And there's no cause for celebration once you get them. our bullpen FIP is 4.65 and has been below-replacement; good relievers are hard enough to find
-
i'm gonna go with a-rod-deez and since everybody hates Keith Dumb Bunny, Piliere had him #21, Sickels had him #32, BA had him #40 it's also really odd how everybody's turning up their nose at likely bullpen prospects, as if we have no use for those

i may have just fainted

JR Graham and Zeke Spruill
-
it's never too early to look at per-162 game splits! right now, he's playing at a 42 HR, 72 K pace (last year it was a 3 HR, 152 K pace) can we all send a fruit basket or something to whoever it was that lowered his hands?

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 7-26-12

Jay Jackson's numbers in relief are legitimately encouraging: 33-2/3 IP, 27 H, 14 BB, 37 K 2.14 ERA, 1.22 WHIP -
yeah, they'll probably be too insulted by his indecision to want him anymore, and knowingly just torpedo their season by throwing Jair Jurjjens and his 7+ ERA out there every five days or give up 2-3x the return in prospects for another SP, i guess
-
best rookie seasons by fWAR
-
at the point of that discussion, his career line was .260/.323/.455 and since then, he's produced a .435 babip-fueled .389/.442/.658 line, so it's safe to say that's a harder argument to make these days with the benefit of full hindsight, you're remarkably insightful it seems
-
just 77 games in, and he's already reached 6 WAR he's slugging .606 he leads all of baseball in wOBA he leads all of baseball in runs he leads all of baseball in steals (he's also missed 22 games of the season) he made this catch: oh, and he hasn't reached drinking age yet
-
Richards, Bourjos and Conger could be a possibility
-
No ...source?
-
also, this is what having a great GM is like for 1.5 years of Bourn (who's 6th in the NL in fWAR), Ed Wade managed just the useless Jordan Schafer and a couple OK prospects for < .5 years of Dempster, we land Delgado (who Wade was reportedly unable to pry away for Bourn)
-
Delgado's posted a better FIP than Garza so far this year
-
i just ran around the room like Jimmy V looking for somebody to hug

How do you feel about Starlin Castro's defense? ffs, i almost put a disclaimer in my post specifying "by respectable sources", but i left it out in hopes nobody would be an idiot about it -Castro's defense right now is objectively good, and the speculation of him moving off the position is mostly centered around assumed significant body changes, like how he'll add bulk to hit more HR in the distant future -Vitters' defense right now is objectively poor; he's posting huge error totals and we've never seen or heard any indications these were a by-product of all the circus plays he makes if nobody's going to be the least bit intellectually honest about this, we should really shelve the discussion for several years down the road when people are scratching their head in total puzzlement of how Josh Vitters was never able to be a valuable contributor on a contending team
-
he was maybe our best cover corner we're going to be pathetically bad on defense
-
bb-ref uses DRS, which gives credit to outs made using a shift; he gets congratulated for Sveum putting him in a place where the hitter hits the ball Brett Lawrie's also been off-the-charts, in large part because John Farrell does things like this: http://thecutoffman.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/img_5007.jpg?w=555&h=370 UZR doesn't grade plays using the shift and is currently agreed to be more reflective of a player's true ability
-
oh come on, it's a little embarrassing that you guys seem to believe his glove has actually been worth 3 whole wins
