    Denney is definitely singable. He had a bit of a down season to drop him to the back half of the first round but he might go higher because he's singable. This word, I do not think it means what you think it means.

    Why don't you think MLB teams are bothered by Gray's use of adderall? We don't know they aren't bothered. Even if some teams aren't bothered by it, there's just as good a chance, if not greater, that many teams are bothered by it. Eh, can only base it on the reporting so far. My point is, if they Aren't concerned,. Then i'm not concerned. If they are, then sure, i'd be as well. So far, the reporting suggests the former. Pre-draft "reporting" is only purposeful leaks.

    still last in walks, some combination of free swinging hitters plus pitchers that aren't afraid to pitch to guys, since there's not many guys on base in the first place.

    The Pirates' collapse has maybe begun? That'd help a lot, though we probably won't win nearly enough for it to matter. Yeah, it's Cincy and Colorado that they have to worry about more than Pittsburgh, but a sweep would be nice. As an aside, ESPN is still stupidly showing wild card standings "game back" category as only how far back teams are to the 2nd wild card, and not how far ahead the 1st wild card is. MLB's app, and I assume the website changed it up this year and show the leader's games back as a +X.Y in comparison to the 2nd wild card. But I don't see why they don't just list how far back everybody is to the leader, and you already know that 2nd place still gets in. If you're a fan of the team in the first wild card slot or just curious about how much of hold they have on the spot, you want to know their status.

    First of all I had a splitting headache last night, so I couldn't make it past the 9th. Secondly, Barney batting leadoff is still among the worst decisions of the season. I think most fans would agree. You think that Barney batting leadoff in a game is among the worst decisions of the season? I don't think it registers at all.

    If his defense remains in doubt how are you giving him both fielding and throwing as tools? Your description sounds similar to a Theriot/Barney when they were coming up. Without the lockdown defensive excellence of Barney. Such prospects are able to provide value, if they don't have any setbacks and continue to improve on their way up. The problem as I see it is tons of guys fit into that description at one point or another in the minors, you can see them translating their limited minor league production into major league performance, but more often than not, they don't actually get it done. Or if they do, they end up with a 3-4 year window of being of use. They need to pretty much be in the majors by 24 because by 28/29, it's over. So, while that can be useful if everything works out, I find it really hard to be impressed by it.

    There'd be nobody left on any team if that was called. Slashing hardly ever gets called unless someone winds up with a broken stick, the player does it repeatedly or it happens in the middle of the ice (as in this case). I still think the Hawks can win this game. What bothers me is that they could have given him a fine and no one would have been crying foul. Shea Weber rammed Zetterbergs head into the end boards and got a $2,500 fine. Duncan Keith makes a dumb slash without intent to actually harm and gets a game. The fact that they gave him a double minor instead of 5 and out tells me that the on ice officials didn't believe he was trying to injure him. It's the random nature of the discipline that makes no sense. If suspensions are supposed to be a deterrent, the players need to know what will happen when they do something that they shouldn't. I don't get the Blackhawks fans trying to pretend this was random and didn't make sense. He purposefully hit him with his stick, the theory that there was no intent to injure is absurd, there was intent to hit him with the stick, and in that intent he hit him in the face. It's pretty much cut and dried.

    Hope it isn't anything serious for Contreras. wonder what an "inactive list" means.
  15. jersey cubs fan
    are zips projections particularly useful for minor leaguers who don't even stand a chance to play in the majors that season? Didn't they also have Brett Jackson being pretty damn good this year?

    Szczur's numbers? I find it easy to not be impressed.

    I think most bad acts in hockey can be attributed to retribution for a previous act.

    I don't know if it's the camera angles or what but it looks like the distance from hit feet to his head is the same as from his hands to the end of the bat.

    That's an awkward looking stance. Like a small kid trying to look tall or something.

    That kind of airing inside stuff is what irks me the most about him. If its true do something, but don't go whining to the media. It makes him look bad for several reasons, not the least of which, he doesn't have control. I know I'm in the minority but I really can't stand him. All he has to do is start calling pitches from the dugout. I agree with the sentiment that him bringing this to the media is weak. It's like a football coach saying that if the players simply executed his brilliant schemes better they would win. If guys are disregarding your scouting reports, then you have a problem on your hands that needs to be solved. But I really don't get the "can't stand him" mentality. My issues with Sveum pale in comparison to past issues with managers.

    I'm surprised by your theory about power pitchers not busting. I guess that's been my poor perception. Seems the popular opinion that college bats are more likely to make it to the majors than college pitching. Id still rather have Gray or Appel over a weak hitting power college bat that will likely end up on a corner in the outfield. Weak hitting power bat?

    I think you're going to need his heroin needle. I can't imagine there is a way to explain his season so far other than to say it's horribly disappointing and that he sucks. But I'm willing to listen if anybody has anything. lol Just to clarify, I mean he sucks this year. I am hoping beyond hope that he doesn't actually suck every season for the rest of his career. Well then your response was pointless, because it was already acknowledged he sucks this year, and the reference to needing heroin was about whether he will suck for the rest of his career or if it's just a minor setback along the way. Stating he will need the heroin clearly indicates you think he will continue to suck.

    Paul Sullivan ‏@PWSullivan 11m Junior Lake to make debut at Triple-A Iowa on Thursday. Will play third and center. Ian Stewart? Still there. I hope not. For his sake. The need to give this kid his walking paper if he's going to have some shot at a somewhat meaningful season. Surely they can do so in a way which allows both sides to save face. A year or so in Japan shouldn't be out of the question. Isn't the issue that if the Cubs give him the "walking papers" (release him), they'd owe him the contract, so instead, they are hoping Stewart gets frustrated enough to walk away from the money? I highly doubt they are expecting him to walk away from guaranteed money.
