    And there goes Wahl to the As at #161

    Listing a 21 year old in A- with a 7+ ERA as one of our top pitching prospects is not a ringing endorsement of our farm pitching.

    a sub 1 whip in his last year with less than 9k/9. does he get a lot of ground balls? He didn't serve up a single HR last year, so it appears he keeps things low in the zone.

    Shameless puff piece video.

    Nice.

    If the Cubs take him in the 2nd round and take Zscaszrzkrazzr in the 4th, I'm pretty happy with this draft.

    Do the Astros go Biggio?

    Isn't Vance Law the BYU coach?

    I know people who had to work directly with Chad Curtis when he was with the Rangers. By all accounts he was the most humorless, charmless, self-important douche they had ever run across (and this is an organization that had Will Clark for many years). I think that was his biggest problem, more than his grasp of bible scripture.

    As much money as the MLB is collectively raking in these days, you would think their flagship network could afford higher quality on air talent than a notorious sexual predator and the former co-host of the World Series of Video Games.

    Reports say he might occasionally hit 94-95, but most of the time he's sitting in the high 80s. His K rates last year were decent, but not indicative of someone who's regularly touching mid 90s. His soph. year he had 76 Ks in 109 innings. He has a 4.51 FIP in the SEC. Ryan Eades picked by the Twins at #43 had a 3.89 FIP in the SEC. He also gave up a lot of HRs for someone picked that highly. This is also the first year he's been drafted and I don't think he's ever pitched in Cape Cod, so he's not exactly overflowing with pedigree. I know that 2nd round draft picks are a shot in the dark, but this was the 41st pick in the draft. That said, I love his walk rates in college, and supposedly gets a lot of downward movement on the ball. Maybe Johnson thinks he can turn him ground ball machine sinker thrower. FWIW, I have his FIP in SEC games at 3.59, but that's self-counted and calculated so there might be an error. I got it from here, but I have no idea how credible the site is. http://www.collegesplits.com/cgi-bin/csPlayer.cgi?pl=zastrro42

    Yuck. I'm happy with Bryant pick tonight, but it's disheartening to know that right now Pierce Johnson is the entirety of the Chicago Cubs pitching farm system. I don't really have a lot of faith in Vizcaino's health. Paniagua, Maples. Even the homer in me can't bring myself to get overly excited about Maples, and I'm a pretty shameless homer. I think he's going to provide just enough K/9 to keep me teased, but ultimately break my heart.

    If he was hitting that kind of velocity, it wasn't being translated into a lot of Ks.

    Going with Appel for the "safe" factor. Vizcaino's continuing arm issues and Maples getting off to a less than stellar start to his career leaves a huge hole in the Cubs system for potential TOR arms other than Pierce.
  22. Elrhino
    Hoping for a bounce back from Maples tonight. His last two outings have been teh suck.

    Seattle optioning Jesus Montero back down to AAA. Montero and Smoak are just crushing disappointments.
  24. Elrhino
    The NL really has a lot of putrid offenses. Hard to believe the Cubs aren't among the bottom 3 in runs/game. I can't imagine what it must be like to watch the Marlins regularly.

    It's almost fitting that on his way out the door Hendry's selects The One Toolsy Hacker To Rule Them All.
