    because hes got the potential to be dominant. miller doesn't. given his track record it's very likely the light will come on.

    Adding some more fuel to the conspiracy. http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f189/kctigers23/EVERETTK1.jpg

    I'm the same way. I'm happy that he's injured because it hurts the Cards but I generally don't seriously wish injury on anybody. I've jokingly wished injury on players in the heat of the moment but the only guy I really want to see get injured - and this is only enough to end his career - is Barry Bonds. i dont want to do that to him. hes off limits as hes a living legend.
  4. Mephistopheles
    yeah that so ugly.
  5. Mephistopheles
    i wonder if this is as accurate as cubs medical releases... :: slits wrist :: oh well i hope he gets back as soon as possible but not before the cardinals are fifteen games back
  6. Mephistopheles
    I think I said he was 18 from an old scout article at the time but never had a DOB. I could be mistaken. Either way the scarcity of information surrounding him should be removed this year. All we know right now is that he's big and has a big fastball and knows how to miss bats.

    Man Soriano was a great signing. What's JD Drew hitting these days? Oh about .400.
  8. Mephistopheles
    i had vmart, sizemore, and grady missing half the week. it didnt hurt me. i had alex gordon go like 1 for 20. i still won.
  9. Mephistopheles

    16.3 IP, 2 ER for the Reds pen...
  12. Mephistopheles
    yeah you got me. I finished off TheoSqua and am leading that league. I have Sexson, Felix and Sizemore on several of my teams. That screwed me over. I had Sexson and Sizemore on one team and lost by 1 R and 1 RBI. :/
  13. Mephistopheles
    Id show it to them but it's PG. I can only show G movies.
  14. Mephistopheles
    i think ive said this here, but i work at the local ymca with kids that are 10 or so. they dont know what sandlot is.... or cool runnings.
  15. Mephistopheles
    If I remember correctly, we never found out the correct DOB for Dolis. From BA: Born: Jan. 10, 1988 in Romana, D.R.. He's 19.

    It wouldn't have been a new development 3 years ago. But it would be today. no, not it's not. Okay, we'll just pretend like Floyd isn't a hobbled old man playing on his last legs coming off a terrible season in which he couldn't hold Murton's jock. I like the way you work. you can also pretend that matt murton doesnt have below average power at the position.

    cliff floyd is better than matt murton. this isnt a new development
  19. Mephistopheles
    Beavan's arm action worries me, but his stuff is fantastic.
  20. Mephistopheles
    Am I a bad person for not caring? I mean I don't wish him injury, but it's nice to see the Cardinals lose their ace like the Cubs have for the last three seasons off and on.
  21. Mephistopheles
    it's all angels fault. his time will come sooner rather than later.
  22. Mephistopheles
    hs clients are almost never with boras. they dont go to school they just rarely end up with him.

    One thing to remember, when BJ Upton came along in the draft he was said to have yearly GG potential. Look how that turned out. I'm sure if you read the reports on all of the top one-hundred or so prospects for the draft you would say "I wouldn't mind having him." Developing = Raw. I don't know what he means by saying "best all-around" SS since Upton. For one, if a player isn't the best, he can still be the best all-around? He's just more balanced but inferior so it's a worthless label. Oh well that's another argument. There was a better HS SS in 2005, Justin Upton. Outside of the Upton brothers there has been a bit of a down time with SSs from HS. We're looking at Matt Bush, CJ Henry, Chris Nelson, Trevor Plouffe, and Brandon Wood. Wood wasn't a great prospect at the time but has developed plus power, Jackson's power is probably going to develop solid power, but he won't consistently hit 30 HRs. Not even close. Outside of him, the others? They've all sucked major league ass. Trevor Plouffe is probably another good comparison. Plouffe has got an outstanding glove but hasn't hit much. He may be better than these guys are as good them. Chris Nelson and him are similar, but in general it doesn't appear to be a good idea to draft HS SSs because they play SS. The ones who can hit rarely stay at short. Brandon Wood for one...

    He would be a pretty huge reach. It's stupid. There are CLEARLY better players, prospects and signs ahead of him, so why should we go get him? It's dumb. He's the #10 HS prospect by BA. He's a very good prospect, but he's a middle of the first round guy. There's little chance of him going in the top ten. Why even bother looking at him for the third pick? Is he better than the college trio? No. Is he better than the elite HS RHP trio? No. Is he better than a trio? No. Drafting an inferior player in the first round because you have no good middle infielders is a quick way to run your system into the ground. Considering the odds that these guys pan out are not very high, drafting an inferior player now only lowers the chances. It's pretty dumb. Now, if Boras and a strong committment to Arizona State has him fall to the middle of the supplemental round, of course it's worth taking him and throwing a large sum of cash to buy him out of ASU. (Granted hooking up with Boras pretty much says "I don't like skool." Finally, given our organizations incompetence of developing high school position prospects, we'd be much better off taking the better ones who are more advanced. Right now Jackson is all tools. Josh Vitters, Michael Burgess and Jason Heywards tools translate into skills better. Jackson is pretty raw. If I would liken him to a prospect, he's awfully similar to CJ Henry a few years back.

    For outs next time multiply innings pitched by 2.86 instead of 3. In the long run it's pretty accurate (at least at the major league level).
