  1. What about a Tony Philips comp? When he was strictly 2B, I was thinking Ray Durham with less power. Reyes or Rollins
  2. Is he even on the 40 man?
  3. If that were true, why would we have just moved Javy off of SS? Russell Not that it's true Yeah, I mean I can see Castro getting moved in a year or two, but not until Russell is ready. So I don't think a Castro move will be any time soon, but in all fairness, I cant hear the voice so I cant speak to its believability.
  4. If that were true, why would we have just moved Javy off of SS?
  5. If you mean elite prospect, I think thats unpredictable at this point. If Theo moved any of them it will be for a massive return, so it all would depend on what the other team prefers. Assuming Bryant is untouchable, in a big trade, the other team would likely get their choice between Baez or Russell. As far as most likely of our top 10 or 15 guys to be involved in a trade, I'd put my money on Vogelbach.
  6. Pairing up our top prospects based on the nature in which they were acquired, which group do you think will represent best at the MLB level? DRAFT (College) Bryant & Schwarber DRAFT (High School) Baez & Almora FREE AGENT Soler & Al Contra TRADE Russell & Edwards (or McKinney, depending on your preference)
  7. What would be the most northeastern team any of our affiliates play in a season? Wondering how far I'd have to travel to see any of our guys next year.
  8. so who are the Cubs of the EPL?
  9. yes he's in the lineup What's the full lineup? I bet it looks niiiiice.
  10. Does a crappy defensive catcher really kill you that much? If you're Koyie Hill, yes. Mike Piazza, no.
  11. Obviously, Id love it if his defense improves and he becomes the best all around C in the game, but most reports tell me I shouldn't expect that. Still, I'd take an all-hit C if it gave us a clear advantage over other teams. Realistically, I'd be happy with a future depth chart that looks kinda like this (his percentage of at bats at each position in parentheses): C Castillo/Schwarber (25%) LF Soler/Schwarber (50%) DH Schwarber (15%) RF Bryant/Schwarber (5%) 1B Rizzo/Schwarber (5%) You may say that I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one!
  12. LF Coghlan 2B Alcantara 1B Rizzo SS Castro RF Soler 3B Valbuena CF Ruggiano C Castillo I'd tune in to watch those games.
  13. ESPN: What in the what? I don't follow this logic. Were there any racist connotations in the letter to actually make this analogy? "Nearly"?? Seems pretty damned reckless to compare the two, but I don't remember the letter in full...
  14. Yeah, the question was about having the best system, and while we currently have the best prospects, that doesn't give us a system edge over Atlanta, St Louis, Boston, etc., currently or in future. At least that's my interpretation.
  15. Or not. Don't turn this into the Shark/Hammel trade thread, please. EVERYONE wants Stanton, I get that, but this hypothetical does not include him.
  16. Hypothetically, say we wanted to trade a package of prospects in the offseason including Almora, Soler, Vogelbach and Edwards.... what kind of MLB return would this group bring?
  17. So wait, you think we can acquire Stanton without giving up any of Castro, Rizzo, Bryant, Baez, Russell, Alcantara and Schwarber?? Sign me up for that trade. "Hi Miami, this is Theo... Yeah, the rumors are true: we'd like to trade for Stanton. So feel free to put together a package of any of our non-great players and I'm pretty sure we could find a way to part with them mmm'kay ok thanks!!!"
  18. "We have Mendy (Alcantara) leading off, then one batter later they got me then after a another batter they have Kris Bryant," Baez said. "They're going to have to pitch to one of us. I'm pretty sure one of us three is going to have a good game every day." Javy jinx themselves?
  19. Guessing the fielder's glove hand is shattered...........? :beg:
  20. DiamondMind has a really hard time understanding the point of this thread, I think.
  21. So wait, Barney has a pair of batting gloves and a pair of base running gloves... Is this a thing?
