    Honestly, Norris' comments on his CB and CH today are among the first comments I've even seen on his secondaries. The FO thinks highly enough to list him in with the Oscars, Ceases, and Albertoses of the world as a breakout candidate.....So, while that doesn't say anything about his secondaries, it kind of tells me they must have some semblance of potential, to even be put in a breakout candidate mention.

    Hudson thru 3, has given up a hit, K'd 1, and 5-1 GO/FO.

    So, 106 or so by the 5th? Stadium gun and all, but yeah, this is super impressive.

    He usually sits a bit(93-94) under that, if he's still sitting at that later on in the game, I'll be pleasantly surprised.

    I think its a hedge type of thing. HS position guy with upside, college pitcher that's not going to take quite as long as the higher upside HS guy. Plus, I figure there's enough HS pitching, that we can find a guy in the 2nd or 3rd for less money that's not THAT much different, in terms of potential. I'm legitimately fine ANY direction this group goes though, they've certainly earned benefit of the doubt. Its just fascinating to me, because budget, upside vs floor, proximity.....It all factors in and how they use 27, inherently affects 30, those 2 picks inherently affect 67, and so on. Its a puzzle of talent accumulation, where you may be deciding between scenarios of 18, 24, and 97 on your board, with full slot left foir the rest of your draft, versus 11, 16, 142, and down a bit of money for the rest.....With potential foir the same decisions in 3-10. I'd love to see an actual draft board, because this group is going to have tons of scenarios for everything obviously.

    Oh horsefeathers, Offerman must post here.

    That's kind of why I asked that, thinking along those lines. I do think that Eloy can improve on that walk rate though, he's not a big chase guy and if he's hitting that many homers, I'd suspect he gets pitched around quite a bit. Happ MAY even prove to be competent enough in CF, to where he can get lots of AB's there. If the FO thinks that, I think he'd be super valuable to them. Add in that Eloy likely brings a decent amount of extra value, plus is still a few years away.....I could at least see how they'd look at it as Happ helps during the current window and is therefore a better fit..... Again, Eloy is going to be a beast and will be a better player than Happ. But, I can see how his proximity from the majors makes him the easier guy to move. I'd really cringe though, if they move him.

    I am fairly shocked that Beck slid all the way to #26, I mean if he was there at 27 he'd have to be a no brainer right? I know he doesn't have a lot of history with the wood bats, but that opposite field power he shows is crazy for his age. They also moved Adell back into the top 10. Pretty serious volatility, in this space of time for those two.

    Take a bow, sir.

    My guess at the best guys who actually get moved this deadline..... 1. Jose Quintana 2. Sonny Gray 3. Marco Estrada 4. Alex Cobb 5. Jason Vargas 6. Derek Holland 7. Jaime Garcia 8. Scott Feldman 9. Trevor Cahill 10. Jeremy Hellickson I really hope we can find a way to get Gray. At this point though, I'd say my "quantity" idea is out the window. But I could see Happ being able to lead the deal, even if I don't want to trade him. That said, with Happ helping currently, even if he is a lesser piece than Eloy.....Would you rather trade Happ or Eloy, if it comes down to one or the other? And if it took BOTH, would you do it?

    BA's latest mock. Has Hiura going 15. Has us with Allen at 27 and Sam Carlson falling to us at 30. I'd be just fine with that, but I'd be very surprised if we take two high schoolers.

    Or more than Addy and Schwarber combined.

    https://twitter.com/Wittman7/status/868171630412931072 Dodger fan complaining about Buck calling Cub games lol. Its kind of fun to actually like Buck now.

    I forgot what/who I was listening to or reading, they basically said the Rays are incredibly hard to deal with and they didn't see the Cubs doing anything with them for a number of reasons. According to Heyman, they've been holding Maddon against us. Wondered if they still are.

    Eh, after those dirty slides this year I don't feel bad at all for him. He took the most money, he knew their whole deal/culture there and made his own bed and had been a dirtbag to some of our guys so far this season. Was there more than one? If so, I'm forgetting. The one at the beginning of the year didn't bother me much. And its going to take a hell of a lot more than that, for me to forget how great Dex was for us. He'll be one of my favorite Cub players forever.

    Is it really that much of an affront to move him out of the leadoff spot? It's not like they've forced him into being a roadie for the red hot chili peppers I guess I mean the whole thing.....Playing for Matheny, playing in that city, for those fans.....Its going to suck for him and seeing an article like this, just kind of reinforces it, I guess.

    Pretty sure his mom has a peg leg with a kick stand.

    Caratini left the game with a trainer and was limping.

    Cincy was a sweep, this was 3-1. I think west coast trips are when Joe pulls out a theme day.

    We know it already, but we have the coolest horsefeathering manager in sports.
