Minor League Discussion & Boxes 7-7-11
jersey cubs fan replied to Outshined_One's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Do those players look small to anybody or is it just me? -
Interesting reasoning here, bumping Golden so high despite only 100 professional PA, then holding Baez down because you don't want to bump him too quickly. Low A numbers are very difficult to judge.
-
In addition to Posada being a bad DH, their non-Granderson OFs aren't doing much with the bat.
-
Posada is a sub 700 OPS DH, and they have some bullpen holes.
-
With Victorino now on the DL I wonder if the Cubs could get Philly to trade for their former player, Byrd, to try and drum up some offense. Their corner OF has been bad this year and with Shane down all three spots are going to suck. Byrd could fill-in at CF and then help out on the corners, maybe.
-
The Cubs won't come close to replacing Ramirez, but it could be fun to see the Yankees trade for him just because that would mean Posada is getting shoved out the door and that drama would be hilarious.

Zambrano is a selfish baby-adopting jerk
jersey cubs fan replied to imb's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I think you may be remembering the pre-Zell era through rose colored memory glasses. This is hardly any different from what this guy would always write. Is this in the paper or just online? I was under the impression Rosenblogs stuff was all on the website now. -
And he was a firefighter. Obviously marathon runners can die of a heart attack just getting the mail, but the combination of being in decent shape and in the hands of medical professionals would seem to me to be something that could save him.

Lower court overturns "illegal lockout" ruling, a win for owners. No idea if this has any implication for ongoing discussions.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 7-7-11

They should probably think about taking the Colvin out of the camp name. -
Zambrano is a selfish baby-adopting jerk
jersey cubs fan replied to imb's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I think the impliciation is that it's wrong that he isn't healthy enough to fly with the team, but is healthy enough to take a much longer international flight. -
I think something is being lost in translation.

Dave Kaplan says Cubs should target Fielder
jersey cubs fan replied to Men in Blue's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
So they need to sign Fielder, trade for a non-existent Matt Garza clone, enjoy the expected improvement of Darwin Barney and return of Tyler Colvin, then trade Soriano and they will be contenders? He doesn't say but I'm assuming he's expecting Ramirez to be gone. -
He's on a pretty long run of sub 600 OPS producition.
-
He had a nice start, but Barney has been pretty much awful for two months now.
-
Reyes is finally going on DL. So it's probably down to Ronny Cedeno and Ryan Theriot.
-
I think they struggle to develop hitters but have probably also struggled to identify what type of hitters are more likely to develop. There is also the additional problem of the MacPhail strategy of going heavy on pitcher development and then trading for bats when you need them. They just didn't seem to emphasize it all that much. Had they been more committed to developing their own bats, they may have been better at it.

Classifying MLB's Closer Celebrations
jersey cubs fan replied to Omar's topic in General Baseball Talk
Yeah, fun, that's what that is. More douchiness is more fun. -
http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/a/anderga01.shtml I know he has a slightly better walk rate, but we have a guy like this on the current team in Soriano. Soriano had more power and speed, and came up playing a premier position. It's possible to do great things without a great walk rate, but what are Vitters' great things to make up for it?

http://deadspin.com/5819007/watch-a-hockey-referee-materialize-out-of-thin-air This is kind of weird.
-
In terms of how he is perceived and ranked it absolutely is the best thing going for him. The point was made that if he wasn't a 3rd overall pick, people wouldn't hate him as much and that somehow he'd show up on 25 other teams top 10 lists. But if he wasn't a 3rd overall pick, he would not be considered much of anything at this point. It cuts both ways.
-
Sure, other teams would want to have a guy like him, if he was already somebody they previously acquired and paid for. They aren't going to trade for him though, unless it's swapping disappointing players. I'm not sure what you mean by great deal, but I find it extremely unlikely that he's capable of contributing it at the major league level. He can't play a need position in the field, and he can't hit with an impact. He could be a role player, but that's about it - and it's hardly a guarantee that even happens. At this point he's still high risk, but with low reward. I can't imagine he'd make 25 top 10 lists. Maybe half the teams would have him there, but the reverse of your early statement is true. Take away his draft status and he's not on anybody's radar. The best thing he has going for him is that 4 years ago, people thought highly of his upside potential.

Here's the Qatar video again.

At least Wells' arbitration figure shouldn't be too high next year.
