    Sickels put this out in September 2010, and to be honest, Starlin hasn't done much yet to really swing it one way or another (short answer: it's really impossible to tell, absent any knowledge of what his walk rates, future build will look like): http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/431770/starlincastrocb.gif http://www.minorleagueball.com/2010/9/4/1668866/crystal-ball-starlin-castro

    he's still comfortably a top-3 prospect in our system; why would we do that?
  5. sneakypower
    that 4.88 FIP sure is tempting...
  6. sneakypower
    how is Conger a miss? he's 24 and has already acquitted himself very well at AAA; that's probably ahead of the curve for a catcher prospect
  7. sneakypower
    #2 can be filled by BJ Upton

    "When Brown gets away with something like that after the whistle — knee on knee, that's a dangerous play. If Raffi Torres gets 25 games for his hit during the play, this guy should be done forever." -Mike Smith, apparently still upset his tomahawk chop to the knee didn't accomplish this
  9. sneakypower
    Good starters will give you average starts half of the time, and then be really good 25 percent of the time and bad the other 25 percent.

    the BTB xBABIP has his expected BABIP for this season at .328 so far (.244 for '11) it seems like a huge difference (and it ostensibly is), but all that amounts to is 23 of his 104 balls in play going for hits, rather than the roughly 34 hits you'd expect to get on those batted balls, based on LD rate, etc. with a .328 babip, he'd have at the very least a .277/.366/.416 line (the slugging would undoubtedly be higher based on lost doubles)

    Torreyes' May BABIP is .044 (was .254 in April)...never really seen anything quite like that also i just stumbled upon this, which is pretty amazingly convenient http://firstinning.com/daily/chc

    in 134 AAA games (587 PA): 44 2B, 40 HR, 140 RBI, 59 BB, 123 K, .336/.407/.664 his overall AAA MLE, adjusted for Wrigley, is (roughly) .283/.344/.523

    the Cardinals fielded a team full of guys with significant injury concerns; it'd be really ignorant for their fans to complain about them as if they are some unforeseen misfortune

    well, it was a clean play, but it's absolutely stupid that it was called the way it was
  16. sneakypower
    Phone Blake Lalli: hello? Voice: Congratulations Blake, you've been called up to the Cubs to fill in for Geovany Soto Blake Lallli: Is that you, Tolbert? This isn't very funny, you know. I'm hung over! My knees are killin' me and if you're going to pull this [expletive] at least you could've said you were from the Yankees. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g04aCp3ej-I
  17. sneakypower
    i shudder to think of what your team full of fliers would end up looking like
  18. sneakypower
    by making hitters swing and miss
  19. sneakypower
    Mark Donnal surely isn't a better recruit than Zak Irvin at this moment in time, but Scout is also under the impression we have two different Nick Stauskases in the '12 class, so what's the use in quibbling
  20. sneakypower
    pretty disappointing that Torreyes came into the season with a career .375 babip, and is sitting at .188 right now for the season he's been spectacularly helpless against RHP so far, too
  21. sneakypower
    what, you don't think a playoff team should have a bullpen consisting of james russell and 5-6 bad pitchers? ...the Rays and Cards had bottom-5 bullpens last year and if you can accurately predict what players are going to be good relievers in future seasons, you are likely using some type of sorcery that is terribly wasted on baseball talk
  22. sneakypower
    you just know he's been saving that one up for the last 4 years now tell us about more #1 prospects who ought to be good eventually
  23. sneakypower
    i'm not worried about it too much, he's always been really streaky he'll have a two week stretch lifting his numbers to where you'd expect them to be
  24. sneakypower
    Melvin was a legendarily bad fielder (at SS) coming up through the minors, in terms of errors, but he's always had incredible physical skills to allow him to make plays like this: his CF defense is legit; he's one of the fastest runners in the game and his arm is fairly elite
  25. sneakypower
    oh man, Hawk's heartbreak made my day Sox started the 9th four runs down and after a Valverde blowup (and likely serious arm injury) put the go-ahead run up to bat in the form of Viciedo, who came about two or three feet from an opposite field HR ""Stretch! Stretch! Stretch! DAD GUMMIT NO.............Mercy!"....long pause, "All right we tried"
