http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-final-mock-draft/ Fangraphs has Clark at 4 and says he won't get past the Cubs at 9.

Is it lazy for me to think of a Benintendi comp as the "good Coghlan" offensively but with plus defense (if he moved to a corner)? Maybe a few more homers hopefully.

Gammons doing his vague tweets saying there's alot of movement at the top including Benintendi to Astros at 5. Unclear if he's breaking something or just thinking out loud.

I'm pretty much all for Benintendi or Happ at this point. And despite my hatred for pitchers, I'd be happy if Fulmer or Jay fell. I watched an interview of Happ talking about his approach to hitting and it was pretty much what Theo says verbatim about controlled aggression and getting on any way possible. Would be more than happy if Tucker fell but that's a longshot.

0 I thought it had to do with being on the roster before September... Maybe that has to do with traded players. The trade deadline is in July... Are you guys thinking of teams signing guys by a certain date in the NBA to be eligible for the playoffs? Lol.

Wasted season? It sucks, but I wouldn't go that far if it's only a month.

He's saying that that Starlin had a worse 36 game stretch last year compared to the current slump he's in, and many people would consider last season a successful one for him. The point is, he gets hot and cold a lot. He started this season scorching hot hitting .333 for the first month (which a lot of people seemingly forget) and then he went through a bad May hitting in the .220's. He's shown a history of being extremely streaky, so let's not jump off a cliff and overreact when he has a bad month. It's obviously not encouraging, but he has a history of having terrible stretches and then going on tears. The spelling error was intentional (for sarcasm), btw.

RBI double for Javy in his first AB. Schwarber 1-2 Torres 2-3

Getting Martinez and/or Fox would turn our haul into pure awesomeness. Martinez especially. MLB.com has some pretty impressive grades on him.

Your example in sentence 1 has nothing to do with your statement in sentence 2. You acknowledged the main piece in the A's Cubs trade wasn't a rental. Everyone knew the Beane trade was an overpay, anyways. I don't think it established any sort of precedent for future deals.

I'd hate to see that next fan. You do know that they still get to play again next year, right? yeah exactly which why trading studs for rentals is a bad move. You realize that the entire point of trading for rentals is because you won't have to give up the studs. Like, the sole purpose of people wanting them.

The average dong trots are around 23 seconds give or take a few seconds both ways. I feel like Leiter's sitting at home with a stopwatch and suddenly turns instantly livid once the 28 second threshold is broken. Grandpasimpsonyellsatcloud.gif

Schwarber dong. I'm feeling a mid game promotion any day now. Preferably tonight.

Gleyber now hitting .340. And his picture reminded me of someone...

yes, based purely on his defense. his offense was bad. i don't see why it's lazy to compare him to other players who were bad in their first stint against mlb pitching. yes, baez was especially abysmal, but we already knew that his risk profile was much higher. he'll probably end up not being good. but it's possible that he ends up being really good. i can't really say what "selling high" on him would be, because i'm not sure how other clubs will value him. he can rebuild his value above where it was after last season, but it's never going to be higher than it was before he was called up, at least until he actually shows he can face major league pitching without striking out half the time. It would hold a lot more weight if you point to players who have similar skills/flaws/results as Baez and then succeeded after initially floundering. He just doesn't seem very similar to Rizzo or Trout at all. I don't really think anyone's making a direct comparison, just a general acknowledgement that most good players sucked at 21 (so yeah, the Rizzo mentions probably aren't even necessary). There aren't many meaningful comparisons to actually make. So few players have his issues and were still simultaneously awesome enough in the minors to make the majors by 21. Most guys barely walking and K'ing near 30% are about to be demoted; Baez was hitting .294 and on pace for a 50 homer season with those peripherals as what I think was the youngest player in his league. He's such a goofy bastard. Like, you think maybe Carlos Gomes at first thought but the more you dig into his past the more you see that they weren't that alike at all coming up. Gomes just randomly found a power switch years into it.

Feeling a dong here.

That was Schlitter logic.
