    That's exactly what I thought. Terrible ump is terrible.

    He commonly takes a big fat strike one straight down the middle.

    He's got fine numbers, but he's a 23 year old outfielder in A+ ball so nothing to get too worked up over, IMO. No chance to promote him to AA to know for sure what he's got? He's just been named to the Fall league roster so you'll get to see what he can do there

    That basicly just counts people who are watching CSN? or does it somehow include people with mlb subscription packages? I can't imagine many people outside the Chicago area can get CSN right? I know I can't. Seems like WGN games would be a better indicator of what a large nationally availible network could expect for ratings. You aren't getting a large nationally available network to bid on the Cubs, unless you account the national availability of regional sports networks via Extra Innings. The money is going to be based on the revenue such a network would expect to draw in Chicago. Well that sucks. One of the that I hate about extra innings is that it's on a delay and I'm getting updates on myphone before I see them on the screen. Seems like a national network would see the Cubs as a huge opportunity, but then again I don't really know squat about the business of national cable broadcast tv. If you are watching the games why don't you just not stare at your phone at the same time? Right, I could just pretend it's live. Never thought of that...

They are basiclly just looking to sell to a network that's only going to be targeting the Chicago area or is it going to be something that's availible nationally? The Cubs have a huge fan base that's much larger than the area in which CSN is availible. Who else is out there that covers such a large area that would carry The Cubs? I wish there were some names being floated. I don't mind paying for the package but if the entire season or most games were picked up by a network availible nationally I'd be all over watching it that way.

    Couldn't they put someone else in CF and play Alcantara at 2nd? I'm not sure if that would net an offensive gain or not but I liked Alcantara's defense at 2nd a lot. I guess he needs the reps in CF to prep for next year. Maybe he'll get an occasional game at 2nd here and there for the rest of the month.

    How many errors did Castro make over his last 130 games in the minors?
  12. Vinestal
    No way is that gonna happen. It will if they grant Nix his contract

    BABIP is a wierd stat. If a player can hit line drives instead of ground outs how much of that is due to the players ability? or is it always just luck? Is the abilty to drive the ball not a skill? Is beating the ball into the ground routinely not a failure of mechanics? I'm not saying I know but it seems like the player has some control over their BABIP

    I wonder if the Cubs own an MRI machine I can't remember which forum I read about it on, but someone explained one time why that wouldn't really be cost-feasible. Probably right.
