  1. Hooray for the silent T double play combo.
  2. Read today that Angels have talked to the Reds but Cinci wants too much. They want a starting pitcher, starting 2nd baseman, and a top prospect, and the Angels supposedly won't budge.
  3. I'm hoping he can make Epatt expendable in a deal, since Epatt could be valued pretty highly as a ML ready 2b, and we aren't in need of any more 2b.
  4. And why would Z even need shinguards as a gift if he doesn't, you know, catch?
  5. What the hell... http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/cs-070614cubsbits,1,6116993.story?coll=cs-home-headlines.com
  6. I'll be at Wrigley for the first time this year...i'll try and bring my mojo.
  7. My thoughts exactly. (To the second round quote i posted)
  8. Nice little interview with Vitters' coach. http://media.scout.com/Media/Image/34/343308.jpg Is there any way anyone could post some more of the scout.com interview with Vitters?
  9. Man Bob hates Hudson, and I love it. First he said we should have thrown at Andruw Jones' ribs for retaliation and now compliments Jacque Jones for getting Hudson out of the game...I love it :D
  10. I'm calling a big Fonty double sometime this inning.
  11. Good thing he's leading off. Wouldn't want to waste any of those HRs by having guys on in front of him. By putting Izturis and the P right in front of him, we've virtually guaranteed that 90% of the HRs he hits will be solo shots. Well done, Cubs. Well done. Better solo HR than no HR at all. And better 2- or 3-run HR than solo. Soriano probably doesn't get those fat pitches with runners on base. Amazing that a guy hits three home runs and people still aren't happy. I'm not expecting everyone to start doing cartwheels and changing their first name to Alfonso, but geez... take a break from wetting on the charcoals for an evening, would ya? Where in my post did I say anything negative about Soriano? I was suggesting that the Cubs are making a mistake by hitting him in leadoff. If you don't agree, fine. If you want to post some sort of argument or evidence, I'd welcome that. But don't take shots at me just b/c we disagree about something. That's lame. I don't know, maybe the same arguments that have been rehashed ever since we signed him? The stats saying how much better he does batting leadoff than down in the order? Not trying to be a smartarse, but I think everyone knows by now that his middle of the order numbers career wise pale in comparison to his leadoff numbers.
  12. Vitters is known for his ability to make contact as well, so even if he is a free swinger (IF) I doubt it's going to mean huge K rates. He strikes me as a guy who's not going to walk a crapload, but not going to K a crapload. And if he can hit, the walks will come naturally from teams trying to pitch him too perfectly. Plus alot of reports say his approach is advanced and that he has a good eye. However in Kevin Goldsteins chat, he thinks Vitters is going to have a Howie Kendrick approach (which is fine if you can hit).
  13. from what i have read today he is projected to be a .290-.310 hitter with 35-40 homer power Yeah, maybe if you total up two seasons. i've seen him play every day and he has 40 homerun power. i don't care what stats you use. And he has a great eye at the plate. I think it was a great pick and I just cant wait to see what he can do this year. If you read the thread on our picks in the JAD forum, there is an article stating how Vitters went to an eye doctor recently and found out he has 20/10 vision, something only a few players in the MLB have including Barry Bonds.
  14. I've been slacking in the supp. Is Noonan gone? Kyle Russell? and where did Borbon land?
  15. Doesn't Horton have a crazy good approach at the plate?
  16. What makes you think we would take him if he did? It's a shame Samardzija didn't like football more, maybe we could have put the money he got into this draft. Oh I know we wouldn't take him, i'm just curious as to how far Boras could have this guy fall.
