  1. So the Cubs are just going to steal some of the Mets hitters tonight to square off versus Marcum. Sneaky...but I like it.
  2. After reading that I feel kinda bad for the guy. I don't feel too bad. I'd feel worse had he actually cut off his balls.
  3. Keep in mind that I'm pretty sure that his primary contacts are KC guys. That's correct, ABTY might even work for them himself in a non FO type position (like marketing or something) and he has the contacts through that job. I also could be completely wrong on that second part. FWIW, ABTY just posted that he's hearing the Royals may want both Feldman and Villanueva in the same deal.
  4. I guess so. I suppose I'm looking at it differently since it's just been a complete and total beat-down of pitching at this level. It's not like he started off so-so and then turned it up. He's been lights out since his first AB. But you're probably right - 87 PA is still a SSS.
  5. Putting up a near .500 average with his overall peripherals is hard to do. When do you suggest he gets called up? Because he's clearly bored with these pitchers.

  7. The WNBA commercials are cute.

  9. Yeah. Fox is trying to kill all his pitchers. It's pretty easy as an NC State fan to hate on UNC at any point (not that Rodon hasn't been subjected to high pitch counts). But Fox's handling of his pitchers has been pretty despicable.
  10. Hell, the cub fan in me worries this 4 home run game brings back too much hacking and less selectivity. I try to kill that pessimistic part of me but the Cubs have really done a number on me :-)
  11. I personally wouldn't promote Baez just yet. I'd like to see the K% stabilized for a longer period of time. The power has been there from the beginning, obviously. I'd like to see evidence of his new approach over a longer period of time (at the same level). I would think it would be easy to fall into what he knows best (i.e. non-selective approach) and try to impress immediately with a promotion at this point. Of course, this is all from afar and the front office knows the situation and what is best better than I.
  12. Anybody else get the vibe Ian was drunk tweeting? It was my initial thought after I read "late night" in the story. But maybe that is because I've made similar mistakes in my past...
  13. His comps are Dontrelle Willis and Doc Gooden More Flash Gordon IMO
  14. I'm liking these advanced college arms that all seem to at least touch mid 90's
  15. Callis said Masek has had arm and rotator cuff issues, but said the coach at Texas Tech has cleaned up his delivery since then and he came back strong. Said he has second round talent.
  16. BYU-TV fluff piece on Hannemann: He can flat out fly around the bases.
  17. http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865579976/BYU-baseball-Freshman-star-Jacob-Hannemann-could-give-up-football-to-pursue-pro-baseball-career.html
  18. Random pointless semi-rant: Why do the Astros have to be "on the clock" right now. It's not like they haven't had a the whole night and morning to decide. Just walk up there and make the pick and put the Cubs on the clock.
  19. Yeah, it seems like a jump to conclusions to think a guy quoting scripture is going to automatically enrage a clubhouse. Tebow has plenty of haters in general, but he was pretty well-liked (by most accounts) by his teammates.
  20. Michael Bowden is really, really sad.
  21. I've been wondering this as well. If this guy can mix speeds well with a plus change up, has a fastball that can touch 95 (even if it doesn't sit 95), and has a curve/slider that just needs a little work - he seems like the high upside project Johnson was specifically brought in to harness.
  22. I read that Dale plans to start Castillo today
  23. Brett's BN article also has some pics of the mock ups.
