    These guys are shoe ins for the "but they were in on him and made a really good offer you can't blame them for the player choosing somewhere else" award.

    And he's already been hurt. He's behind a lot of guys for me. Doesn't an injury just increase a pitcher's value to this organization? Do we really need this in the minor league forums too? Oh heaven's to betsy what would we do if this minor league forum didn't stay pristine?

    How does the 1 seed not mean anything now? A bye. Home field advantage, and get to play the lower seed. It doesn't guarantee you anything but it means something. It would mean a lot more if you were the only team to get the bye week. Sure, it would mean more. But it means plenty now and I don't think that "making it more meaningful" should be any motivation at this point. The 1 seed can be a hell of a lot more about the luck of the draw in schedule than who is the more deserving team.

    Garland as well. Farnsworth was already in the system when that regime took over, but they were in charge of his development from a 47th round pick to a guy who stuck in the big leagues for well over a decade. They never should have tried the all pitching no hitting approach, but if they were, the last think they should have done is ever hire Dusty Baker. But that's another discussion. They had a plan. It was just a bad plan.

    Well, Andy's plan was to emulate the Braves. And his interpretation of how to emulate Atlanta was by drafting and developing pitchers and then acquiring established bats when they could. Those were his words. At a time when the great franchises were churning out great bats on a regular basis, the Cubs couldn't do that, but they also kind of weren't even trying. When they did venture into young hitters they focused on all the wrong things, the proverbial 5-tool athletes instead of baseball players. They actually did a fairly decent job of drafting and developing arms. They wanted hard throwers that could strike people out and they got those, for the most part. They were were absolute morons about bats though. Their willingness to focus on pitching prospects at the expense of hitters and their focus on ancient methods of evaluating hitters doomed their plan. But they did have a plan.

    Maybe if the hitters didn't all have such huge flaws. I don't quite believe in TANSTAAPP, but when they're all in short-A or earlier AND the most any has pitched is around 20 IP AND none of them had great results...it's pretty close to true. Vizcaino?

    separate but equal

    I'm having a really hard time putting any of the pitchers that have barely thrown at the pro level (and didn't have knockout results in the few innings they did pitch) ahead of guys that have a floor of at least reaching the majors. I get the upside argument, but Lake's more likely to be a great MLB third baseman than Underwood a #1 or #2 pitcher at this point. I completely understand, I have Maples behind a bunch of high floor upper level guys too. Underwood's ceiling, HS scouting report versus good HS competition, etc are just too much to pass on and he doesn't have Maples' injury history. I'm hoping that by this time next year, Underwood, Maples, Paniagua, Johnson and others will be forcing their way up the charts. At the moment, though, I could see an easy case for an all-hitting top 10. Maybe if the hitters didn't all have such huge flaws.

    If things were rolling I'd say "shhhh, don't rock the boat." But this team is a mess right now and his rambling doesn't really matter.

    RAWDOG IN THE HOUSE!!!

    No. But 25 is already in the middle of prime. Middle? That's still the start is it not, and just at the start. I'm a "24-27" prime guy, so if you want to call it "beginning of the middle" or "middle of the beginning" or whatever. It doesn't matter. It matters because it's not the middle of the prime. It's the beginning. He should get better for another couple years. You act as though he's already reached his peak at this age and will be plateauing for the next couple years.

    Cocaine isn't expensive enough to account for the difference in what they are doing and what they should be doing. It's gotta be a divorce.

    Assuming a substantial advantage in baserunning in comparison to Rizzo then, as he's got the advantage in AVG/OBP/SLG and defensive runs saved according to those projections. it's assuming no baserunning advantage- there's a full 2-win positional adjustment separating 1B and CF (per 700 PA) the differences in offense (.345 wOBA vs. .326 wOBA) covers just a little bit more than 1 win of that gap; it's an obvious thing to say, but 1B demands a lot of offense Okay, so what I said earlier by "for their position" is the case.

    the amobi version, not the christian one

    So the Bears signed Okoye again.

    Do you mean in terms of "for their position"?
