  1. They could pull the trigger and still be loaded with prospects. And the money is there.
  2. Hammels post game comments make so much more sense now.
  3. I keep going back to Rizzo as an offensive comp. Rizzo was 22/23 in the 2012 season, and he split the year pretty evenly between Iowa and Chicago. He put up an 1.101 OPS in Iowa and .805 in Chicago, and that's roughly in the neighborhood of the drops we've seen from just about everyone graduating from Iowa to Chicago lately (except Junior Lake, for some reason). Bryant turns 23 next January and has an 1.138 OPS with a higher K-rate and much higher BABIP than Rizzo did. He's also had less time as a pro so I think he has more room to improve quickly than Rizzo did, so I kind of want to just call it all a wash and expect an .800 OPS from him in his first year too. With average-ish 3b defense, that's roughly a 3.5-4 win player. Bryant also had less cancer, I think.
  4. baez and bryant aren't going to be there opening day 2015, much less russell and soler. well, soler maybe if he had more PAs this year, but he hasn't. I understand that Russell had a hamstring issue at the start of the season, but from the sound of what's been posted on Oakland A's boards, it seems that he would've been in AA/AAA for them for most of the 2014 season, if not a mid-season call up if the injury didn't happen. Do we see the Cubs holding him in the minors for another full season? Also, with the way Bryant is hitting at all levels and and Baez starting to put it together on a more consistent basis in Iowa (yes, small sample size over the last 3-4 weeks), do we really think those two won't make it on the opening day roster in 2015? If he's not up now he isn't going to be here opening day.
  5. That's a lot of words for "Go [expletive] Yourself" It's more like, "we really don't have any options right now with the hearing coming up."
  6. I'll do anything for a laugh
  7. In his first 300 PA Moss had an OPS around 750-760 and his K rate was half of what Olt's is currently. Moss's 668 is very different from Olt's 600.
  8. keep talkin' tough guy
  9. I would not be upset if they kept a bench player that could crush lefties and hit for some power with little else. But Olt hasn't even done that this year. He's only a mid-700 OPS against lefties and a negative WAR overall.
  10. Alcohol bust is either greatest thing or worst thing.
  11. Pipeline hitting prospects? Is this a fracking thing?
  12. .447 w% vs .446, these teams are equals.
  13. Maybe he's talking about Olt's eyes. You guys must have missed the edit. I mean, if you are going to go through the effort to add the edit and change the title, why not just rewrite the actual post?
  14. Holy crap, it was that bad?
  15. http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20140703/sports/140709527/ Bruce writes about Hoyer talking AA.
  16. What do you mean "some"? The whole point is that it's the 4th in the capital. That's what the Nationals do.
  17. Because hitting .260 is just easy and anyone can do it with a little elbow grease. Actually, I don't think that is true.
  18. plenty of good seats available in DC, and Arthur will be past there by game time while probably soaking the Jersey shore. Maybe I need a detour this weekend.
  19. All this "these two", "they" and "them" talk is confusing given the current title.
  20. Because he's the best jerry, the best.
  21. A win puts them 6-4 in last 10 and "only" 9 under .500
