    Opinions on Colvin are all over the board. His offensive skills are quite likely being underrated by the crowd that has already written him off as nothing but a funamentally flawed career 4th OF. what are his offensive skills, though? specifically, what does he do that's reliably repeatable? i'd argue that the list is pretty much limited to only bad things

    having both best baserunner and fastest baserunner in there is sorta dumb, since managers don't know the difference between the two things Rolen and JD Drew would probably be tops if they understood the distinction, i'm guessing

    Beltran was one of my biggest disappointments, i had visions of him closing for awhile that "splitter from hell"
  4. sneakypower
    i was pretty shocked and delighted he didn't have to undergo TJS, it seemed like a near-certainty with everything that happened good day for relievers, it'd be great to get some of the Smit, Maine, Harris types into our bullpen and contributing soon

    do it, i actually like Best, Wells, Foster as much, if not more, than some of the early round RBs try to get Mike Wallace, Britt, Nicks late
  6. sneakypower
    and he was just 23 in retrospect it looks like a terrible rant

    move over, nccubfan

    He's very good, but I still don't agree with your conspiracy theory that they were benching him for an "inferior player" last year. That guy would be Carlos Gonzalez. yeah that was when Gonzo wasn't doing so hot. well, in that case frantic raving over the situation was warranted how was anybody supposed to know he would become a great player if he wasn't already good???

    there's not any upside to it, other than increasing your draft position i guess – not anywhere he can fit himself in the rotation even if he surprises his near-5.5 bb/9 is just a recipe for an overworked bullpen though

    did Torres lose a leg? were the Dodgers and Brewers contracted? they aren't even close

    sky, please be blue today

    all this lunacy aside, Bryan Smith of fangraphs took a few Cubs questions [Comment From JeremyJeremy: ] Thoughts on Chris Archer? How far has he jumped up both the Cubs and national prospect lists? Bryan Smith: A ton. Check out his numbers since April 30. Insane. [Comment From BrianBrian: ] Shouldn't Andrew Cashner be in the minors as a starter? Bryan Smith: ABSOLUTELY.

    Longoria has the most team-beneficial contract in baseball; of course an extension for Castro would be worthy of consideration, if it's at all possible

    the red sox? My dad got me into the Cubs, music got me into Boston (The city's got an amazing hardcore scene). i root for the Jazz cuz i like saxophones the Blues too!

    he has a higher OPS (and SLG) than Hanley. including his AA MLE, he's at .317/.363/.464 on the year, with 28 BB to 52 K and 40 XBH in 388 AB ...at 20. he's awesome.

    i've seen keener, and it wasn't pretty
  17. sneakypower
    i actually do trust Hendry when it comes to scouting pitchers
  18. sneakypower
    harping on home-road splits is dumb and people should have learned that with Khalil Greene and Matt Holliday
  19. sneakypower
    Jeff Larish?!? do you mean for Iowa?
  20. sneakypower
    i didn't include him because my dream isn't really to gamble $30m/per on his age 34-43 seasons or whatever length it'll take to sign him

    When Vitters is ready, he'll take over third. I don't really see much of a realistic scenario where either Lee or Starlin are a regular third baseman. As has been mentioned, just not enough power potential. If everybody pans out, the likely 2014 infield is Vitters (3B), HJ Lee (SS), Starlin (2B), ? (1B). My dream 2014 infield would be Lake (3B), HJ Lee (SS), Starlin (2B), Fielder/Gonzalez (1B) fixed.

    Doesn't FIP favor pitchers that pitch to contact? His .337 BABIP suggests that he gets hit pretty hard. To add on to what Tim said, Wells gives up very few HR for someone who supposedly gets pretty hard. And even all things included, he's got a 3.41 ERA in nearly 300 MLB innings, so it's not like he's got a great FIP and is still giving up tons of runs. he really doesn't get his just due
  23. sneakypower
    you don't even have to take my word for it
  24. sneakypower
    please don't assume that anything he says is based in any well thought-out plan he's easily the dumbest-sounding ballplayer i've ever heard talk, and that's including Vitters
  25. sneakypower
    this is an even better narrative, Starlin's gonna get all wise with him about the 3 games at third or whatever it was he did that somehow made the scenarios different "i was looking at your bb-ref page, you can't trick me, Methuselah"
