    Would much rather have Montero catching Hendricks. I imagine superior pitch framing benefits him more than any other pitcher on the roster. anybody can catch 87 on the corners though...i feel like Jake & especially Lester need it more with more movement on their pitches

    Blake Snell looks like a very tall 14 year old
  3. sneakypower
    he caught 4 full innings since May 12th

    i am but then again my baser instincts kick in and i want to somehow field a team with 3 catcher-possible players who all rake...Willson Contreras / Kyle Schwarber / Mark Zagunis?? Lester & Hendricks would understand

    go to tomorrow's game instead so you can see top-10? pitching prospect Josh Hader instead of fat pinata Wily Peralta SS Orlando Arcia's a top-20 prospect too, but i doubt they have a future MLB starter there besides him, but maybe Michael Reed can be a Szczur type

    because it only touched off Welsh player(s), he was onsides for the chip, as i understand it

    There's a character actor that he reminds me of but I can't put my finger on it. I was thinking it was Vincent Schiavelli for a while, but that's not it.... http://static.tvgcdn.net/mediabin/showcards/celebs/s-u/thumbs/silas-weir-mitchel2_sc_140x187.png

    it dawned on me that the upside to the Alcantara trade is that it frees up all the easy nicknames/abbreviations for Almora

    he hit a ball 124 MPH the other day was just a DP though

    meanwhile, Mitch Moreland & Prince Fielder have a 84 and 54 wRC+, respectively

    and while looking at that trade value graphic, it's a laugh riot to recall that 4th-ranked Kris Bryant was issued a 4.4 WAR projection for this year, but- he's on a 7.7 pace right now...has actually played at a 7.3 win rate for his career to date so i think we have the #1 overall guy in this year's iteration fwiw

    the 3 out-of-zone plays is the real highlight (on Almora's D page) but one more (admittedly dumb) point for Russell, he's still following his ZiPS 5-year forecast pretty faithfully so we should wait until next year to complain in earnest if he stays developmentally stagnant:
  21. sneakypower
    of all the 26 hitters (since 2010) to reach 500 PA by age 22, he's only been better offensively than Jose Ramirez: http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=500&type=8&season=2016&month=0&season1=2010&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=14,22&filter=&players=0&sort=16,d some of the players within proximity are monsters now so sure, he can improve there, and he's a fantastic fielder, but it's hard to say he hasn't disappointed with the bat thus far
  22. sneakypower
    yeah, either of those 3 should be fine
  23. sneakypower
    i don't see too much fault with that; he's been basically Nick Ahmed plus some walks, which is fine but still disappointing...that higher offensive upside we hoped for is tougher to imagine if his strikeout problems persist
  24. sneakypower
    11 Cubs hitters have topped 60 PA...10 have a double-digit BB rate
  25. sneakypower
    he's basically broken Corey Patterson but at 2B, however much value you want to ascribe to that
