  1. Thanks as always, Raisin. Helps analyzing and definitely helps tracking these guys over the next several weeks. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  2. He wanted to. He failed the physical. Oh yeah - forgot that was him. In fact, he did sign before failing the physical. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  3. Tigers just chose Pankake. I wonder if he does well for him if they will flip him?
  4. On 14 pitches, Hamels gave up a single and nothing else in the first. Cubs coming to bat.
  5. Dylan Cease RHP Milton High School, Milton, GA
  6. OBP up to .300 yet? Yep. .301 with an .821 OPS.
  7. Ugh. Nate has come up short a couple times tonight in big situations. Was really hoping he was turning the corner to mediocrity, at least.
  8. First off, he is way more athletic than Vogelbach. He has the best left handed power in the draft and is the best college power bat in the draft period. He has an advanced approach and good hit tool. What turned me on him as hearing that he may have a slim chance to stick behind the plate, but should be okay in LF (though never great) through his prime years. Agreed. The scouting reports (posted in this thread) make him out to be athletic enough to handle LF. Honestly, the reports on his D sound as good as Conforto - if not better - and it sounds like his approach is great.
  9. If not Aiken or Rodon, I think Schwarber has moved to the top of my list. I'd be happy with Pentecost, too, assuming he takes a little under slot.
  10. It's June 3. This game is going into the 8th. And we are on page ONE and talking about the garden claw (by garden weasel). New low?
  11. I remember about 20 years ago my Dad and I laughing at that commercial during the Cubs game because the old man is essentially "breaking up" potting soil. I could have put two forks to work and done the same thing with that terrain.
  12. This offense is so, so pathetic. It literally blows my mind that the Red Sox have actually had a less productive OF than the Cubs this year (barely).
  13. FWIW from Dave Cameron's chat yesterday:
  14. Gordon doesn't need the swing overhaul Turner does. And Gordon has a better arm and sounds like the better defender. Interesting that Crawford also likes him better as a pitcher:
  15. This. And the same for Barney as was said earlier. I try to be patient because baseball season is a marathon, SSS, etc etc etc. But both guys clearly suck out loud. Just rid them of your team. Rivero seems like a plausible replacement for Veras. I'm not as sure about Darwin. I guess Watkins? I hope Alcantara keeps up his recent pace enough to warrant a late season audition.

  16. Given his struggles (how do you not win ONE game by now) has anybody considered maybe his vision is failing him? I mean I'm not saying it's true, but I'm saying it might be true. Dude just looks blind out there on the mound. He was squinting when looking in for his signs from Welly.
  17. It's my birthday. Cubs win and Samardzija gets his first W.
  18. Lol. Is that the first time in MLB history that the final two outs in an inning were safety squeezes? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  19. Yeah, it's clearly a FO jab to me. the wording "opposite fields" seems to be speaking to the atmosphere and team around the players. One was a winning culture that won 4 of 5 WS and the other is a pathetic losing culture. The players appear to be evenly represented. (though DEREK JETER himself didn't win 4 of 5 WS. It should read the Yankees won 4 of 5 years to begin Jeter's career) ETA: plus Jeter is pumped and happy and Starlin looks like he's super pissed (instead of some shot of him looking incompetent).
  20. Except for the fact that IF they decide to deal Shark he will have way more value at midseason than at year's end. Either trade him between now and the trading deadline or lock him up as a long-term piece. Those are the only two logical options. There is zero to be gained for having him win (HA!) meaningless games in August.
  21. Drop: Prince Fielder Add: Mike Trout
