    It wasn't the Hendry picks I had a problem with, it was the development of those picks. Under Hendry, Baez would have gone all Vittersery. I think most of Hendry's problems stemmed from the Tribune Co's tight draft and minor league development budgets. Please, no. Stop. Jim Hendry was Jim Hendry's biggest problem.

    1. For those of us fringe posters, TINSTAAP is acronym for what? :) (The idea is obvious from context, I just don't know what the acronym is actually abbreviating! So I'm curious.) 2. Has Turner gotten an extra-base hit yet? Any other than ground-ball-down-the-third-base-line types? 3. Turner seems very unlike the list of successful players in earlier post ("successful: Upton, Gordon, Zimmerman, Braun, Longoria, Wieters, Posey"), in that they all have serious power. If Turner is a very different player, without one of their most central success factors, I'm not sure how predictive their success ratio is for how he'll turn out. he may be very successful, in a very different way. But their is obviously individuality here. This isn't a typical draft for college hitters. There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.

    No, she's really pushing it. I could die a happy man if I go the rest of my life never hearing the term core four or super utility.

    A uterus?

    Me too. I have a hard time believing that you can't correct a guy's ability to catch a football. It's the easiest thing to do on a football field. He can run, get open, decent blocker. But then again, he has been cut by several times in his career. I don't think catching is the easiest thing you can do on a football field. Maybe while standing still with no defenders. But running is the easiest thing. If you can run, you can run. But it doesn't mean you can catch, or play.

    Saad? Yeah, Bickell is garbage. The way he was basically standing around when NYR scored their second goal last night infuriated me.

    see you at the game

    He did okay, forced to overspend on veterans, but it's not like that is what led to the Super Bowl. It was Urlacher, Lovie and one or two Angelo drafts that created a monster defense.

    The part I took issue with is the notion that they had very good success with veteran offensive lineman in Chicago. Angelo absolutely went into multiple offseasons as a hostage to the need to acquire offensive linemen specifically because he never drafted them after his first draft. It wasn't that "young players failed to meet expectations" it was because he ignored the offensive line and relied on 30 years for too long.

    Ah, yeah that makes sense. So it doesn't seem like had an F medical like cubbyvirus said. It was a concern, but not to that level. Yeah, those guys were probably somewhere in the middle, but above F no doubt. A: Clean, no major surgeries, no missing of practices or games B: Overall good, missed some practice time and games with small injuries C: Had major surgery but came back from it, no real missed time D: Multiple surgeries, missed practice time and games throughout career, risk F: Too many medical issues and concerns, won’t hold up and hasn’t in college Hardin was probably an F, which makes it even more insane that he was as high as a 3rd round pick.

    Angelo must've had a different grade system at the time...because he was a "yellow", not a letter grade. It wasn't that he had a different system, it was the scouts for other teams had a color coded system and Carimi was a yellow. Presumably that's a caution sign, or similar to what Angelo had for his C grade. That is why Angelo was quoted as saying they had "a similar grade".

    I can't get this play, even after I disabled Adblock Plus and DoNotTrackMe. A vine? I've never had an issue with those. Anyway, not much of a view, but Szczur made a dive toward the LF corner on a ball that was probably tailing away from him.

    Adam Dunn's minor league career: .304/.425/.525 1483 PA, 270K/230BB Vogelbach: .297/.386/.515 878 PA, 139K/110BB Let's not get ahead of ourselves with Vogelbach's bat just yet.

    You would think, but it seems like players in the past who were notorious for being fat or heavy and had a lot of power, who then went on to lose weight and get in better shape before a season, would often have lower power numbers. But then again I'm only really recalling Prince Fielder when he took on that vegetarian diet after his 2007 breakout year, lost weight, and then lost over 100 points to his SLG and OPS, so I really don't have a lot of frame of reference. There haven't been a lot of "fat" power hitters out there. Off the top of my head I can only think of David Ortiz, Mo Vaughn, Cecil Fielder... and I'm drawing a blank now. Babe Ruth Rusty Freaking Staub and Greg Luzinski were the fat power hitters I remember from my childhood.
