    well then like most things involving kyle, you'll be wrong, easily.

    No it isn't. Yes, it is. There is absolutely nothing artistic about the discussion you were having. Nothing. It is mostly science (numbers) and the need for patience in letting those numbers speak for themselves.

    No it isn't.

    I find your inability to cope with this particular crappy Cub season (as compared to the many in the past) amusing. Nobody experiences an individual season in a vacuum. You experience a season with the knowledge of what happened before still in your brain. This is the 4th consecutive losing season, which amazingly has not happened since the mid-to-late 80s. The losing is compounding like debt.

    we should find out if 2013 draftees are included

    Mauer backhanded the rebound without looking.

    Well, lack of upside and the fact that he hasn't thrown a pitch as a pro yet.

    Apparently it was an infield double. WTF? pop fly not caught, or touched, by anybody that gets away from them after landing?

    It would be so awesome if they actually wound up with a really good lineup some day.

    I had no idea what happened in this one until reading about it

    Replace one FB with another. And freaking Haugh (and I'm sure others) are congratulating Emery on cutting Rodriguez when they should be lambasting him for the draft pick in the first place.
  12. jersey cubs fan
    Figured that was coming. Not good enough to get in that type of trouble. He was a reach pick that was not at a need or very useful position. Worst Emery pick so far. Probably. But the guy taken one round ahead of him didn't play football that year and hasn't played football since.

    Terrible draft pick predictably turns out terribly.

    Nobody would call somebody who is average at those 5 tools a 5 tool player. That's just dumb. The entire concept of five tools is dumb. If we're dumbing, we're dumbing. touche

    Some pretty high praise. WOW, that's some crazy praise. I think the 5-tool compliment is a bit excessive though. He doesn't project to be a guy who's power will be considered a "tool." But exciting news nonetheless. I've seen 15-20+HR power talked about, which would definitely be a tool for a plus defensive CF. When you qualify it like that, which Parks is likely doing, then yes it is. But I consider 5-tool to not be position specific but how your specific tool compares to the best in the league. Trout and Harper are 5-tool players, regardless of position, and more of what I was talking about. Almora obviously isn't in their class. Yeah, it's a nice thing to have in a defensive CF, but it's not 5-tool. Although that distinction itself is kind of stupid.

    I don't give a crap if Jay didn't get along with Tice. He was a dolt. And Martz had a reputation of not getting along with his own squad coming in, and he hasn't found work coaching since his time here. I think this says more about the organizations problems with overall offensive philosophy than something that is wrong with Jay Cutler. He doesn't lead the league in smiles, but I don't give a crap.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    not sure what question is begging what I would bet Jay would get along with a competent coordinator.

    The Cubs' first pick, Kris Bryant (2), was a first-round talent out of high school who ended up at the University of San Diego and just ended up leading Division 1 in homers this year with 31. His kind of right-handed power is hard to come by, and even if he ends up in right field down the road he'll be a middle-of-the-order bat with power and patience. Rob Zastryzny (41) is a four-pitch starter without an out pitch, showing good command and control but lacking life on the fastball. Jacob Hannemann (75) is a 22-year-old freshman from BYU who spent two years serving on a religious mission, with good tools including the speed to possibly stay in center, but he's already at an age when he should be in Double-A. The Cubs took five hard throwers who probably profile in relief in the long run in Tyler Skulina (108), Trey Masek (138), Scott Frazier (168), David Garner (198), and Sam Wilson (228); Skulina and Frazier are the most intriguing because they at least have a chance to remain starters due to their size and potential for above-average breaking balls. Their one wild card pick is Trevor Clifton (348), a prep righty from Tennessee who reaches 97 mph regularly with a very violent delivery and a strong commitment to Kentucky.

    that depends on whether Iowa can provide the quality palliative care available to Starlin here in Chicago

    Great last 1st rounder by Angelo The funny thing is it was a widely lauded, relatively safe pick, unlike some of Angelo's other first rounders. I really was hoping for more than a 6th. Could always have kept him as a swing guard/tackle. This sounds like a deal him for the sake of dealing him deal, which I don't like. It's easy for a new GM/HC with no actual ties to the player to throw him away for something like a 6th. If he stabilizes his career there they can still just throw out some gibberish about how "it just wouldn't have worked out here." Carimi has been a disappointment, but this is not a line that is overstuffed with sure things, they could have used the depth at the very least.

    I wouldn't call everybody below that group a role player. And those won't all stay in the same spot forever. Gretzky, jagr, messier. They all moved. Crosby is probably a lock to not move, but ovi is a weirdo on a poorly run team. Who knows with him. I'd day yes, there is a lot of movement. And it's not just one last team at the end of a career. Just look at hossa. His story is normal.

    If you are going to hate on the non first rounders then don't hedge and only list 3-10. And don't just list guys who became useful major leaguers, what about guys used in trades for useful players? The point is the cubs just stocked a pitching thin system with college arms. And for Christs sake stop acting like you are breaking news here. Everybody know the attrition rates. Everybody know a top 10 isn't going to produce all major leaguers, let alone the top 30. The cubs added players that added to the organization.

    No, it makes me ill to see it in print.

    I believe he is black. And I believe the name is Charcer, which does sound like something some redneck would name their kid.
