    has there ever been a single player who has succeeded in the majors despite a complete inability to control the strike zone in the early levels of the minors for such a prolonged period of time? i can't think of a single flattering player comparison to make for Vitters, statistically. there's no precedent.
  2. sneakypower
    Colvin strikes out more often than even Dunn, Pena and Branyan but doesn't walk so it's probably gonna get pretty ugly when his HR/FB (2nd highest in the league) and unsustainable BABIP come crashing to earth i'm not rooting against the guys i listed, just saying i don't have hope for them anymore

    You can't possibly be serious. Concerns? Yes. Completely writing them off? Definitely not.Vitters completely doesn't walk whatsoever, and doesn't make enough good contact to even remotely justify that at all. oh, and he can't field. what's replacement level hitting for a bad fielding MLB first baseman, 750-800 OPS? yeah, i'll take the under. look at Burke's last 5 seasons and tell me what doesn't fit. you guys act like there are hordes of productive ballplayers that sucked in the minors for a long time until their tools somehow magically materialized one day, but that doesn't really ever happen.

    he threw an 89 mph change to McCutchen and the announcer said "fastball right by him" yeah, maybe for a mere mortal
  5. sneakypower
    he'll never be ready.
  6. sneakypower
    you would?
  7. sneakypower
    you could argue Soto deserves to be Olivo's backup at C

    stick a fork in 'em: prospects i have zero hope left for vitters burke lake
  9. sneakypower

  10. sneakypower
    Pronger committed a penalty? impossible
  11. sneakypower
    WOW WOW WOW

    Why? Yeah for real. I hope he strikes out all 27 batters on 3 pitches each. Here's a thought... of all the pitchers out there today, would it be safe to say that Strasburg represents the best chance for a pitcher to match and/or surpass the 20K in a single game mark at some point in his career? i think Scherzer could, if he were more economical it'd be interesting to see what our closer could do K-wise with 7 or 8 innings of work, not that i'm necessarily advocating that

    WIETERS?!?!?

    so i'm in a dynasty league (5x5 + OBP, SLG, hitters K, pitchers L) and somebody actually accepted a Sandoval for Derek Holland swap. it's a pretty shallow league, so there's quite a bit of good quality pitching still in FA (Scherzer, Cueto, Chacin, Marcum, Cecil, Bumgarner). but for 3B, the best available players are Reynolds (unplayable b/c of K, BA, OBP), Freese, Beltre, Walker. note: Sandoval was the best 3B in the game last year under these settings. Bad Trade, or Worst Trade?

    they jumped the shark with "what if you still had your favorite hat?" wait, that actually happened? http://blackhawks.nhl.tv/team/console.jsp?catid=1012&id=67694

    i can't think of a bad one besides Bourque
  17. sneakypower
    pretty big monkey off his back now
  18. sneakypower
    fun fact: Wells & Gorz have a better xFIP than Ubaldo Jimenez right now (both top-15)
  19. sneakypower
    he'd make a great loogy
  20. sneakypower
    HF did a retrospective of the 05 draft and said about Skille also
