  1. Almora is much bigger than I realized
  2. you guys keep this cussing [expletive] up and we'll never get clark the cub here for an interview
  3. at the rate this is going we should probably just start drafting for the 2015 season imo
  4. "LebRon" is an underrated part of that post
  5. do we have to send them a draft pick or something
  6. OK, good point. I still don't think Turner is anything I would draft over a higher ceiling (or much higher ceiling, depending on how you view him) pitcher just because of "bust rate" concerns, which was my original point.
  7. i love it when dork losers like parks write some wordy adjective-filled stupidity they're convinced is just hilarious and then they misspell something or drop a word. "heh its premium content so i can only give you a taste" *they'll love this [expletive], god it's amazing* *copy/pastes a dropped word*
  8. yeah i worded that stupidly. What I meant to imply was that if his speed only manifests itself in 3 extra bases over the course of 230 or so at bats, who cares? Like if he was piling up 20 triples a year or something, you're like, sweet, he's fast as hell and driving the ball. Three triples in college baseball could be the result of three mongoloid left fielders that tripped on their own feet. three triples for a guy with 80 speed should be seen as a knock, not a positive.
  9. Some guys think he can hit. I've seen plus attached to his hit tool. And he's got good plate discipline. I think there's a sort of fast-guy bias at work. If he's super-fast, he must be a slap-hitting leadoff hitter, right? Is 13 doubles in 228 at bats good Why single out just doubles? 7 HR and 3 triples. I don't really know how to gauge college stats but a .553 slg seems like it can't be terrible. college home runs only matter to me if you're profiled as a home run hitter. Triples are just flukey speed [expletive] so who cares.
  10. Some guys think he can hit. I've seen plus attached to his hit tool. And he's got good plate discipline. I think there's a sort of fast-guy bias at work. If he's super-fast, he must be a slap-hitting leadoff hitter, right? Is 13 doubles in 228 at bats good
  11. For just Melo. He's not signing for 3/$36M. He's signing for max. Melo can't sign for $20 million with the Bulls. Isn't that over max? I thought he has already said he is open to signing for something less than max money. He has seen what LeBron and the rest of the big three did. They took less to win. It's his time to do that. melo's not taking 12 million a year lmao gtfo Well how else do you expect them to fit him and Kevin love under the cap? you cant spell melo without MLE
  12. Does anyone think he can hit? He seems like one of those guys with the body to either be a fielder or a hitter, not both.
  13. oh my god the uniwatch guy is going to self immolate
  14. Parks is who I would have ended up being if I were better at life but with the same personality. it's not too late
  15. If he was currently an impact SS, you wouldn't have guys putting him in the 10-15 range in this draft. I think there's question about that, and I really am not interested in a guy that gets by hitting a lot of groundballs and running fast.
  16. you mean you havent heard that he might not be a shortstop or you mean that him not being a shortstop isn't a downside? he better be a [expletive] good ss or cf in the field, because his bat is empty
  17. the live five the "fix six" the heaven's seven the great eight the fine nine the ten men
  18. hell yeah college tim beckham sweet
  19. Why? Because of some pundit rankings? Because the reality is that the college bats, in comparison to most years, suck. And the reality is that no matter how exciting the pitchers look right now, taking them adds 25% to your bust rate. who gives a [expletive] when the upside is drafting a "batter" who might bust anyway and whose upside is guy with no bat that might not even be a shortstop
  20. what is it about this [expletive] prospect evaluation job that draws autistic weirdos like parks and law and sickles and kyle (see what i did there)
  21. [expletive] off parks, i liked it better when you didn't like our prospects more than we do
  22. For just Melo. He's not signing for 3/$36M. He's signing for max. Melo can't sign for $20 million with the Bulls. Isn't that over max?
