    I am interrupting my vacation to declare this dumb and to cast my vote for "Theo is a dork that should have both + Puig and he smells bad."
  2. Sammy Sofa
    Thanks.

    Someone find a giant version of that photo for desktop purposes.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    GROSSSSSSSSSSS.
  5. Sammy Sofa
    I suddenly feel dread.
  6. Sammy Sofa
    Oh, come on. I'm the one who probably pays the least attention to the minors of anyone here and I know what the Cubs have.

    Though at least he's not trying to hit those anymore.
  8. Sammy Sofa
    Please stop hitting Rizzo, jerks.

    I really appreciate you sharing that; very interesting read, and it gives me...*gulp*...hope.

    I find BR easier to read and I am set in my ways.

    They messed up; it wasn't supposed to air until Baez shows up.

    For a guy who can't top 90, back end of the rotation seems like a best case scenario unless his control is simply amazing. I was being diplomatic. I don't want to be Mr. Everything Sucks ALL of the time.

    Jackson hasn't been this bad, but he's been bad before. The argument was made by people smarter than me that Wood's previous success was him overperforming. That either will bounce back, much less both, is nowhere near a sure thing. And I'm not giving up on Hendricks, but ultimately I think he'll settle in as a back of the rotation guy if he sticks as a starter.

    Kenny Lofton?

    I'm just concerned because I figured we'd have Dopirak play DH when it started. Where are we going to move him to? your trolling has no effect on me because i didn't care about minor leagues back then so HA http://replygif.net/i/1521.gif But seriously, I miss the days when we could mostly ignore the minor leagues.

    Well that's not true. Who are you banking on? Arrieta? Edwards? Arrieta (who has been elite and has a ways to drop off and still be good), Hendricks (strikes and groundballs FTW), and as much as I don't love them, I doubt both Wood and Jackson continue to post mid 5 ERAs. Then there's the bullpen - Rondon, Strop, Ramirez, and Rivero all are currently/should be good relief pitchers. There's also a lot of money to be spent and a pretty good group of free agent starting pitchers to spend it on. I guess I'm not THAT worried about the pitching. I'm not talking about the bullpen, though I guess I should since this year's seems to be the exception, so it's not even like that is some kind of sure thing. My concerns with Arrieta are injuries. I think Hendricks' lack of speed is ultimately going to catch up to him. Wood and Jackson not bouncing back shouldn't be surprising to anyone. The team development is HUGELY lopsided right now.

    I agree with all of this; I kind of expect at least a couple to not make it for whatever reason, and then ultimately what does show up to be pretty good. Seems a lot more realistic than a world-beating team of offensive monsters.

    we have an elite positional prospect (either in terms of offense alone or some combination of offense and defense) or elite young player slated to play at every position as soon as next year. that's pretty insane and I have to think it's a near unprecedented situation to be in. Which seems to belie that it's likely to not work out that way. The fact that teams never have this many of these types of assets? Obviously there's been plenty of collections of amazing prospects over the year. Is this the mythical greatest of all time? I have no idea, but it just seems unlikely that all of these guys will pan out to be amazing players. Baseball is brutal like that.

    And absolutely no pitching.

    I'm pretty sure I can wrap my head around about 75% a good team.
