At 5-foot-11, 175 pounds, David Garner's size doesn't intimidate hitters. However, his slight frame is not an indication of the power the right-hander possesses. Garner owns a fastball that can touch 95 mph, while his hard-breaking slider is his primary out-pitch. He has a free delivery and aggressive approach, and his electric stuff has led to 192 strikeouts in 217 2/3 innings pitched for Michigan State during his three years in East Lansing. At times, Garner can lose his control, as he walked 27 batters this year, while also hitting six and throwing 10 wild pitches. In his first two seasons at Michigan State, Garner was in and out of the rotation, but he made all 14 appearances as a starter during his junior year. He went 4-5 with a 4.10 ERA, lifting his career numbers to 15-12 and 3.97, respectively. Garner stood out in the Cape Cod League each of the past two summers, especially in 2012, when he was named to the West Division All-Star Team. In 43 1/3 innings for the Hyannis Harbor Hawks, Garner registered 41 strikeouts and a 3.12 ERA, both of which were good for top 20 in the league. Before becoming a Spartan, Garner was drafted by the Reds in the 33rd round (No. 997 overall) of the 2010 Draft. -
not an expert. I think outside the studs at the top, guys will begin and short season (Boise) and see time in Kane County. Cubs take another college RHP, David Garner from Michigan State
-
Video has him strangely bending over at the start of windup, wonder if he's going to have back issues
-
we'll see what we can do about that for you

Pepperdine RH SP another college arm

I don't understand what's so hard to understand where I'm going. Our pitching outlook organizationally is not very good. There's no agenda. There's nowhere I'm "going with it." It's just an easily observable situation. Like I said, it's not insurmountable. They'll just have to do a good job focusing their resources on acquiring pitching from outside the organization for the next few years. Also, non-first-round draft picks don't really matter and certainly don't move the needle. Maybe a couple of them per draft will magically develop into something useful, but there's no good way to predict it. Well then your post was stupid and pointless because everybody knew their status prior to you providing your opinion on the matter. You are providing zero insight into the matter.

A soft-tossing righty and a future reliever with major control problems at A-. Well, now I'm sold. Never mind. Pitching isn't an organizational problem after all. It's not insurmountable, but it's going to take some good work. Whereas you could probably just derp your way to an average or better offense for the next decade. I really don't understand where you're going with all this. We spent a decade with management that didn't know how to draft and develop a single bat, and they weren't particularly good at acquiring other people's bats. These guys actually seem to have a decent grasp on putting together a solid crop of position players (which account for more than half of what happens on the baseball field), and they have been decent at acquiring other people's arms as well. It just looks like you're fretting for the sake of fretting about AA pitching as if it's the only thing that matters at this point. They've already taken three college pitchers in the first five rounds. What the hell are you going on about?

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 6-6-13

Michael Bowden is really, really sad. Really? You can tell by that picture? Thats about as emotionless a face I've seen. What? His eyes look like they are tearing up and he's pursing his lips like somebody trying to hide his emotions. -
not sure why they just took a guy from a junior college
-
kind of small and injury prone.
-
trey masek RHP from TT

Why isn't Bryant in lineup?

Ewww. Bust. What does this mean? movie looks dumb

Re: Chicago Blackhawks 2013 Playoffs

playoff heroes routinely sign bloated contracts when their playoff numbers outpace their typical regular season numbers. -
6'05" 235lbs DOB: 09/18/91 Skulina played a key role in Kent State’s Cinderella run to the 2012 College World Series and has taken on an even bigger role this spring as the Golden Flashes ace. He relies on his fastball-curveball combination to attack hitters and isn’t afraid to challenge them. Skulina’s fastball sits in the low-90s and runs in on right-handers. His curveball has good break and should be a Major League average offering. He uses his 6-foot-5, 235-pound frame to create a good downhill plane for both pitches. Skulina needs to develop his changeup to reach his potential.

redrafted RHP from Kent State,

Gregore Clegane? Cubs up
-
Not sure how you can speak so definitively about how money has nothing to do with it.
-
Cubs just sent out emails stating four previously TBD Friday gametimes have now been listed as 3:05, starting with the July 5th game vs Pit.

Guys like these guys are the guys our FO is notorious for. And yeah, they might also be saving the overslots for later. I'd get worked up over "unknown" 1st rounders, but 3rd rounders? No.

Bears Offseason Thread (Trestman new HC, pg 37)
jersey cubs fan replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Other Sports
Only true for the media that wants a week of free parties and drinks with umbrellas in them. -
Possibly and/or Bryant is going to take slot+ to sign. If Bryant costs overslot, I'd have went a different direction. If they thought he was the most talented player available, I wouldn't have. Agree, it would be nice if they could go under and save, but if not, as long as he's the best they could get, fine by me.
-
I'm probably just missing it, but I don't see what would be the point of taking an underslot in order to overslot later. Wouldn't you take the overslot first and then underslots after? Well, going under the bigger slotted spots at the top leaves more money for going overslot than going under the smaller slotted spots early.
