What's this up to nowadays, anyway? -
Unfair, but it illustrates the point. As 21 year olds: Rizzo: .331/.404/.652/1.056 in AAA LaRoche: .251/.305/.361/.666 in A+ Sure, don't disagree. There's higher pedigree with Rizzo, and there's higher potential. I was just pointing to what Sickels wrote on his likely prime - a .260-.280 hitter, 25-30 HR's, and plenty of walks, along with a solid glove at first. LaRoche put up those numbers from 06 to 2010 and was hurt last year. sign me up for those numbers. um, yes. for cashner? when we have a gaping hole at first base? And I was higher than most on Cashner until this year. Still can't believe all it took was Cashner.

They got Carolina's 3rd rounder, and pick at 19 themselves. So yeah, they will have 4 in the top 90. Googling to clarify what they got brings up a bunch of articles about how stupid that deal was. They traded Olsen because he didn't fit in the OC's system but the OC's system was only going to be in place for 1 year. So stupid. I suppose on the bright side, the guy who made that call isn't here anymore.

Apparently Zach Cates really loves Jesus.

I remember reading somewhere that the Bears have 4 picks in the top 90. Is that true?

BA & BP's Cubs Top Prospect Lists

So when do new rankings usually come out? -
My good friend that's a huge Pads fan and tends to follow the minors closely was of the opinion that while Rizzo was great, his swing was way too long and needed to be altered. Take that for what it's worth.
-
Sorry if this belongs elsewhere but, Huh? As a replacement in the event of a Demps/Garza trade?
-
Seriously though, how much money do they have left now that they're likely not spending on a 1B? I have to think they go hard after at least one of Cespedes or Soler.
-
On a scale of 1-10, how sad did this trade make Scott Boras? I bet the Nationals' Rizzo is smiling somewhere.
-
Seeing as Rizzo will likely start in AAA, this has somehow made me even look forward to LaHair.
-
Seriously though, I'm shocked it took that little. Bravo, front office.
-
Probably the smartest move. I wish Cashner the best and I really wouldn't be surprised if he ends up being an All-Star level closer for the Pads.
-
Love it. Theo is on a freaking roll at the moment.
-
To avoid reading the last 14~ pages of this thread... is there anything resembling a consensus for who NSBB wants in terms of WR? VJax? DeSean?
-
I've seen both tweeted. Went with the more prominent dude.
-
No more pixie dust?
-
so who'd we get for garza, fill me in please. I'm getting ahead of myself. It appears a trade is imminent...just forecasting. A trade is imminent? That's news to me.
-
Yea, I don't normally buy into chemistry arguments. Ever. But Zambrano is pretty much the definition of the exception to that belief. Same here. Also, I think it probably isn't that hard to come up with a good idea of how he was perceived...
-
There isn't much of an argument on the other side of things, either.
-
Perfectly fine with this, and I say this as someone who was a huge Z fan during most of his Cubs tenure. Awful clubhouse influence and declining talent. While you can say that the Cubs should have waited until midseason, Z could very easily have sucked through the first half and destroyed all value. Instead of a crazy person, the Cubs get an extra 3 mil and a bounce-back candidate. Sounds good to me.
-
Wow this sounds pretty close.
-
Volstad is the current name floating around.

Good potential power bat Very patient hitter World class Twitter user Beyond world class. I think LoMo is aiming way too high. I'd be thrilled with someone like Dominguez, though. Also, a potentially telling quote from Theo's interview with Kaplan today. This is pulled from the Bleacher Nation piece summarizing the interview: http://www.bleachernation.com/2012/01/04/theo-epstein-speaks-about-the-state-of-the-chicago-cubs/
