    Considering PJ started off in KC, I'm pleasantly surprised Zastryzny begins in Daytona.

    Soler has a sore hamstring. Day to day. Unsure if he'll be out there on Opening Day. Per Wittenmyer.

    In the big leagues, he should change his number throughout the year to match up to his HR total. And everyone else on the team should wear numbers about 60 to make sure he can be accommodated. I like this plan but the rest of the team should wear 70+ just to be safe. I want his number to be FIELD2. As in the field he lost priveleges to take BP at, for breaking [expletive] windows. And he should have Javy over top of the number and WTF I WANT underneath it.

    Pugliese is headed to KC. Personally, I'm extremely interested in how Bruno does in AA.

    Vogelbach tweeted about Daytona and Dunston about Kane County, no surprises.

    I thought most people here thought Ramirez was the best player in that deal. I'm pretty sure you're just confusing him with CJ.

    Left some pitches up but the stuff was so nasty he could get away with it. If we have seven relievers better than him, we're in good shape. He's one of the few that I'd prefer to just say "screw starting" to.

    How did Ramirez look?

    Martin missed all year last year, is the same age as Dunston and is currently at a higher level in spring training. He has as much or more power, is as fast or faster and is a very legit CFer. Him. That's my vote and it should have come much sooner.

    Daytona for both.

    Hitters success rates are much higher. Which leads to taking the surer thing with the top pick. Which lends to the team being hitter heavy. Of course, it's followed up by taking tons of arms inside the rest of the top 10 rounds. It's a really solid formula. With the prevailing thought being finding power in today's game being the single hardest item to find. In the end, it's all currency and can be moved for whatever holes we see fit to fill thru trade. For those that don't follow the amateur draft, this year will certainly put this to the test, as its a really pitching heavy top end of the draft.

    He's frantically rewriting his $/WAR formulas to prove that it was right all along. Seriously. Trout just got PAID and is hitting FA at 29. Considering you're basically getting 40, 60, and 80 percent of value in arb, you may as well figure this was based on 30 mill per year. Sorry, but no one is going to give him an extra 10-20 mill per [expletive] year more than anyone else just because WAR says to. At 29? He'll get his 10-12 year deal for over 30 per with ease if he's healthy.

    Dave Cameron is pissed.

    Sims signed a one year deal with the Raiders and Clemons signs with the Texans for 2/2.7 with 435k guaranteed. WTF.

    Agents will find ways to change things up. Just as Boras took out a huge insurance policy on Scherzer, other agents will start doing the same, in my opinion, much earlier on players. At which point, the early, team friendly long term first contracts will slow down and more of these guys hit FA between 27-30 instead of 31-33 again. The money is there to be spent in MLB, it's up to the agents and the players union to maximize how it gets back to the players. And if the older players start seeing less money because they gave a team a friendly deal that bought out a few FA years-they'll find ways to change it up.

    Big Z. I'm serious.

    Morbidly, this one was brilliant. Illitch is 84. He gets to keep Cabrera and its certainly plausible to think he might not be around or paying for the bad years.

    http://m.espn.go.com/general/blogs/blogpost?blogname=chicagobears&id=4691320&city=chicago&src=desktop I love Brandon Marshall.

    The trade that gets Daniels fired.
  20. davell
    That really was a great [expletive] catch. He's made two or three this spring.
  21. davell
    It's gonna be hard to do with all that elite talent in the WS organization that's all the rage in Arizona How does their farm system compare to the Cubs? the previous game, Hawk and Stone were saying it was fairly equal. It's about the same difference as us to the Cards at the ML level.

    I prefer waiting til we're a perennial 90 win team, then giving everyone a year off and recouping it then.
  23. davell
    Well then you better clone a hitter worthy of getting slot at 4.
  24. davell
    Then you may want to take a pitcher this year. Never! Then you may want to give a guy money he's not worth.
