    Hahahahahah! I look up the score expecting to see a beating and it's [expletive] 3-2 in the 5th, you miserable sacks of [expletive] cream.

    What is he, 112?
  4. Sammy Sofa
    Probably won't cause a delay, fortunately.

    advanced approach, power, defense, and athleticism go a long way. although now i see people disparaging a prospect they love in order to try to be right about something. for shame. Sorry to come back to this, but come on. Castro at age 20 at Tennessee: 121 PA, .376/.421/.569, 9/11 BB/K Russell at age 20 at Tennessee: 135 PA, .304/.356/.556, 8/26 BB/K People forget how badly Castro was incinerating AA when he was first promoted. http://rack.0.mshcdn.com/media/ZgkyMDEzLzA2LzI1L2Q3L2dpcGh5Mi42NWEyOS5naWYKcAl0aHVtYgkxMjAweDk2MDA-/e18a6e2c/309/giphy-2.gif

    I'm assuming this is why: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20140813&content_id=89453066&notebook_id=89453278&vkey=notebook_chc&c_id=chc TARGET MATH GUYS.

    There's that "intelligent approach" thing again.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, it's weird that Law seems to be approaching this like, "ah-HAH!!! Hendricks probably won't be amazing long term, so therefore he will be NOTHING! MUAHAHAHHAAH!" Nu-Zach Duke would be fine by me.

    I don't think everyone is opposed to the general idea of trading for Hamels; it's just that you're hung up on the idea of trading Castro for him.

    Pointing out the reality of the situation, that you're valuing a prospect over a proven asset under long-term control, is not disparaging Russell. It's been the opposite, with people pointing out how the Cubs can fit him into the lineup with Castro.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    which means he's valued highly and could likely net you a good return that fills other needs. It also means he's the opposite of surplus value; he's the proven commodity and yet you want to move him as if the Cubs can just plug in someone who is a lock to outproduce him at SS. The surplus value is the relative glut of MI prospects. Russell's floor is Castro. No, it's not.

    Colvin/Campana was one of the worst in recent memory for the Cubs (in the minors). Both were stretchered off the field and taken to the hospital. Say what you will about Colvin, but he had some of the worst luck when it came to freak injuries. I remember Colvin getting vampire-hunted in the chest, but I had no clue he and Campana collided.

    Appreciated but not celebrated.

    Yeah, there's been about as much discussion as you'd expect here.

    PTR and his three stooges are counting on most fans to feel that way. How sure are you he's even going to be any good? He got started in the Cuban league late and wasn't there long. He seems to be a physical specimen but that's no real indicator of baseball skill. I trust our scouts to know what he's worth and the front office not to overpay. Has anyone posted his video? http://bit.ly/1BeYgWj Cubans are the hotness. It's time to finally not miss out on someone who can help us now.

    career 2.6 fWAR as a LF (74 G, 274 PA) http://collegetimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/I-won-t-hear-it-and-I-won-t-respond-to-it-animated-gif-arrested-development-31133206-500-235.gif

    doesn't mean he wasn't smart enough to And so far we're seeing nothing that shows that "smartness" = better control pitcher. i think the idea is that being smart helps a guy who gets by on movement and command, not that it helps him have those traits. it helps him use his pitching repertoire, doesn't help his actual repertoire. i think pitching in general (especially with stuff that isn't all that overpowering physically) is cerebral enough that this is a reasonable thing to think. I agree with the general idea that pitchers are probably often the smarter players on the team, but the rest is unproven bunk. BUNK, I SAY. Now create a new game thread.
