BA & BP's Cubs Top Prospect Lists
sneakypower replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
it's been two years, and one year. -
maybe we're going to implement an offense that uses 7 offensive linemen at a time or something
-
we should be able to pick up most of Garza and Byrd's salary if they're willing to give us Turner, Castellanos and Smyly
-
so, is it safe to say Leonard will be a lottery pick like Demetri McCamey was
-
yeah, like you didn't enjoy watching Garza strike out in 59% of his PA last year and post a .215 OPS
-
15 is obviously assumed, but i'd still take the over on a -18 projection for him they also stand to gain when they get Delmon Young out of the outfield; Byrd (or Barney) is really a perfect fit
-
I liked it too. Solid article. I would have liked to see you flesh out how you came to the +3 win conclusion at the end (not that I disagree). Are you saying Fielder's bat = 50 runs; Fielder's glove/running = -13 runs; Cabrera at 3B = -13 runs (is that 13 runs worse than what his value at 1b was?) so net is + 24 runs = +3 wins? Or am I missing something? Oh, I totally ballparked the estimate on 3 wins. I probably should have gone into depth to figure out exactly how much better it makes them, but my intent was just to write about why the contract is worrisome. My half-assed thinking, for what it's worth. An Inge/Kelly platoon at 3B is probably worth about 1 WAR. Cabrera at 3B is probably worth about 6 WAR. At 1B he'd have been worth about 7. Fielder stays worth about 5. So 2 wins worse at 1B, 5 wins better at 3B. 3 wins better. with this, you're essentially saying he's going to be 25 runs worse in the field at 3B than he was at 1B, which seems...pretty unlikely
-
what gave you that impression? they're really, really awful with money
-
that's a lot of pizzas hey, i called this one way back in August 2010 www.northsidebaseball.com/forum/viewtop ... 3#p2428523 (you'll kindly ignore most of the rest of that post though)

ok, i'm now convinced WSR is a lonely 9-year old kid
-
last year our non-Garza starters did this: 131 GS 732.6 IP 5.26 ERA only one qualified starter (Brad Penny, 5.30 ERA) in all of baseball managed a worse ERA than that edit: only four qualified starters worked shorter starts on average, too so...yeah, we're going to improve upon that, without a shadow of a doubt

Harbaugh, Griese, Grbac, Henne...?? From 2001-2010, which of these were great NFL QBs? we had future NFL QBs start every year for eighteen straight seasons, including a future hall of famer, and another pro bowler; yeah, what an asinine assertion, that we might be a good school for QBs no offense GR, but your biases cause you to make some hilariously dumbass arguments sometimes

Harbaugh, Greise, Grbac, Henne...??
-
There's no way his spread works in the NFL. NFL defenders are too big and too fast. why not? i can think of several teams who use a similar predominately shotgun spread passing offense to really good success
-
that replay of Gronk's ankle was pretty barfy
-
it's even worse than that; Zack Novak is 5-7 and the rest of the team 3-20 today
-
that was for MWL (single-A), the comparison which i'd seen the most but "high-A" is a nebulous distinction; there's a 100 pt gap in his MLEs for the FSL and Carolina League
-
not really, since assuming a single-A equivalency gives Cespedes a .226/.277/.401 MLE given the number of teams with serious interest in giving this guy $20+ million, it's pretty safe to say he's a fair amount better than that
-
obviously unrelated, but if his league is considered the equivalent of AA ball, that'd give that Jose Abreu guy an MLE of .360/.462/.734
-
his swing reminds me of Juan Gonzalez with less of a leg kick edit: was talked about in the Concepcion thread, but didn't want to start a tangent Cespedes' 2011 MLE by league equivalencies: Midwest Lg (A): .226/.277/.401 California Lg (A+): .233/.285/.416 Carolina Lg (A+): .250/.308/.457 FL State Lg (A+): .258/.319/.477 Texas Lg (AA): .262/.324/.487 Eastern Lg (AA): .268/.332/.502 Southern Lg (AA): .274/.340/.515

lol when is it ever expected for us to beat MSU in basketball maybe if the 82 Tar Heels time travel to today and we can beat them, that might qualify as a quality win
-
it'll probably end up being something trivial like a three-year freeze on poaching any more Sox employees
