I don't get the "projectible" stuff. Orton was okay but never going to even threaten to get over the hump.

Screw that. Orton sucks. My least favorite Bears player in the last 20 years (non Olin Kreutz division). Disliking Orton is kind of odd. But I've always geared my anger more towards our array of inept coaches (Shoop, Shea, etc.) rather than individual players. I don't get the Orton hate either. He was a pretty decent 4th round pick who did his job. There was some stupid fan/media love of the guy, but he was fine and helped facilitate the Cutler trade.

This is news to me; he's been pretty damn good for a month now. Vogelbach has a sub 600 OPS in July. -

They said he'd get a few games at catcher here and there during the year, but he'd play mostly OF in 2014. Then they'll bring him to fall instructs and work with him. I have a hard time imagining how delaying his catching instruction will be all that helpful to teaching him how to be a catcher. -
Those 100 games won't lose themselves.

Prospects who were never Cubs
jersey cubs fan replied to TruffleShuffle's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Of course, we likely would've drafted both of them if they were available... Aiken, for sure. Not convinced about Appel. But drafting Aiken isn't how Houston is screwing up, it's by dicking him around. Why are you so obsessed with making sure the front office gets credit? -

*checks Kevin Encarnacion's KC numbers* [expletive], another summer of this [expletive]? I'm sure you found that he didn't do very well in those 16 games. And then didn't bother to check his numbers in Boise. And was then severely injured in a car crash and hasn't played since, making him an awful example. But I apologize for my interest in somebody who isn't marveled over in every thread. A 20 year old in the DSL? -
Are you seriously using All star appearances as an argument? *not that I disagree with your premise, just your reasoning. theres plenty of other metrics to use to make that statement with. come on. I just that because it happened yesterday. that's not a metric though, it's just a factoid
-
He exceeded FG's definition of "good player" (which is what Cameron said he isn't) 2 times before his 23rd birthday and is well on his way to exceeding it again this year. Scrub 0-1 WAR Role Player 1-2 WAR Solid Starter 2-3 WAR Good Player 3-4 WAR All-Star 4-5 WAR Superstar 5-6 WAR MVP 6+ WAR I don't think you mean "exceeded". He has achieved that level, on the low end, twice. He has basically played 4.3 seasons and has averaged about 2.3 WAR on a per season basis, for whatever that is worth.

Because college and JC are two different things.
-
Huh?
-
Huh? Since 6/15 .282/.339/.409 (.748) You and nuts have different definitions of suck, I guess.... Or different definitions of month.
-
I've been wondering that myself. However, there is precedent, Barret Loux: Isn't that the point? That they are offering the minimum to get around the rules?

no due -
Your theory only makes sense if you can be assured of actually acquiring an "exceptional defensive catcher" through other means. You can't be assured of that.
-
well nevermind then. What the hell was he cooking?
-
Stuff like this makes me hate us not having a Hard Knocks even more I think we would discover that nobody likes Forte. Why In that video it looks like he was by himself the whole time, while most of the others were with some teammates.
-
It's a system set-up by the owners specifically designed to exploit these players as much as possible.
-
unlike the rest of MLB owners?
-
Huh? He's had to pay huge fines for among other things, not hiring blacks because, "you can't fire them" and women because they have babies. His company has provided bribes and kick backs to defense contractors. They let him buy the team so they could move them to the AL. How does this situation "go to show you" anything about that?
-
Huh?
-
looks like a propane grill with no propane tank and likely a pile of coals with a crap ton of lighter fluid.
