    Scoring Alcantara again, who tripled off the wall in center.

    Just turned it on but some joke (host) on 670 is mad because he thinks Manny will be talking ABs away from guys who need it.
  6. RammyFanny
    I hate it when I start to like a pitcher and then the article shows a freeze frame of him throwing and his arm looks like some creature from Alien with veins ligaments popping out left and right.

    Carlos Gomez is one of the guys he's mentored. The Rangers signed him for Olt.

    Only the bad ones. I was all aboard the Choo wagon to get an established bat in the lineup and ease in the young guys. OBP ages well.
  10. RammyFanny
    Well yeah, Choo's a completely different caliber of player, and requires a long term commitment. Personally I know I would've loved to have Ellsbury's production right now, regardless of the pick, but that's not really germane to people saying that forfeiting a 2nd rounder to get a player like Cruz(average production, short term) is a bad idea for the 2014 Cubs. I was never really sold on Ellsbury at all, personally. I think his OPS is now in the .600's after tonight. Bleh.

    Five Guys all the way for me. not a big fan fries are ok though I've had to spend an awful lot of time in South Carolina recently and there's an expanding chain called Cookout that may be my new favorite actually. I'd rather go somewhere and get an actual good burger than one of these tiny burger over priced crap holes you guys like. And yes, I've had them. There's a tinyface/tinyburger joke somewhere in here.
  12. RammyFanny
    Yeah, i'm pretty sure the awful track record is with prep catchers, not necessarily college, although i'm sure there's your typical misses there as well.
  13. RammyFanny
    Still want a hitter, of course.

    Same. I feel like he was a borderline top 10 pick coming into the year, assumed he was sucking when I didn't hear much about him, and was pretty shocked when I looked up his numbers like a month ago and he's hitting .400. What are the concerns with him? That he's more a line drive type hitter and doesn't have much HR power? As a catcher, averagey defensively with a good arm? Yeah, I think he's probably more of a 15 HR guy, but he's got a good eye, doesn't strike out alot, and should hit for good average. Hit well against good competition on the cape in the past. Pretty athletic and quick. I think the average defensively with an above average arm sounds about right, with people being more optimistic on him for future improvement due to his good athleticism. Bat speed looks good enough to me where I don't think he'll have a huge problem with higher velocity. I think people always ranked him a bit higher due to his plus athletic ability as opposed to his actual results, so teams are probably getting more excited now that the numbers are matching the profile.

    There are a lot of Yankee fans there, aren't there? I mean, sure, [expletive] Yankee fans, but I can respect that. I was there last night and my section was probably around 60-40 Cubs vs. Yankees (from those who wore baseball apparel). There's a ton of em there (although most of them are probably just fairweather randoms who live in Chicago). I couldn't count the number of Jeter shirseys if I tried.
  17. RammyFanny
    ok, then! I clicked it because I assume you only snipped a part of their full blurb on the Braves, but no, that was it.
  18. RammyFanny
    I got a little buzzed and yelled something at an annoying Yankees fan about Jeter's UZR. Haha. The best part was the guy behind me who immediately had my back and simply yelled "FANGRAPHS BITCH!"

    Saw Passan tweeted a Cuban article that said Despaigne is back in Cuba. Don't know the ramifications but I doubt it's good.
  22. RammyFanny
    GIDP for Baez, hit hard but right at the 3B.

    The whole thing reads like a fourth graders essay.

    Didn't notice he made the quick switch on the balls and gave her the one he already had.
  25. RammyFanny
    Certainly, but you might be surprised at how difficult it is to find an OF bat worth centering a deal around too. Once you take away the Top 5 mega-prospects who won't be coming back in such a deal(Buxton, Taveras), the guys on non-competitive teams who have zero interest in Shark(Springer, Renfroe), and the Cubs littering the top of the list(Soler, Almora, Bryant if you think him an OF), then the choices are similarly slim: http://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/position-by-position-rankings-center-fielders/ http://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/position-by-position-rankings-corner-outfielders/ There's a faint hope that someone could get hurt and LA would want to get involved, especially since they only have 3 SP for next year. Then you could dream on something like Pederson and Lee. As it stands now though, it's hard to see the Dodgers throwing a bunch of trade assets at their rotation when Kershaw, Greinke, Ryu, Haren, and Beckett are all pitching well. I mentioned it a while back but the Dodgers thing is certainly my ideal scenario. But yeah, it's probably going to take a serious injury for that to become a legitimate scenario. And I think if you're looking for bats, you can probably find something with the Rangers with Gallo, Odor, Alfaro, Williams, and Gonzales and Jackson as pitchers.
