    That looks like the Tim Wilkin/Jim Hendry Memorial 'Atta Boy Award

    More like Emery's replacement after someone does the same. Of course, if they follow the Detroit model of not paying goalies then maybe he's his eventual successor. Well, the Blackhawks have pretty much made it clear they won't be paying for non-elite goaltenders. And I don't see anybody giving a resurgent Emery an insane contract next year. This sounds like a guy who will compete for a back-up role next year and have a great shot as a starter in 2014/15.

    He was the biggest thing since sliced bread when he came out. That was probably the first draft I paid attention to, when the Cubs took Patterson. I think the whole "established college bat" versus the unknown high school talent debate was at the forefront.

    So if he didn't only have a really good starting rotation but also a really good bullpen he would look better? Well, yeah, he's a manager. There's not awhole lot they can really do on a good team. So why then is the default answer that he's doing a good job? Shouldn't you have to earn a yes to this answer and not make up excuses to explain away the obvious no?

    what about double finger whistling eddie vedder?
  7. jersey cubs fan
    really? Gregg, Russell and Villanueva are fairly decent pitchers, and he's had a conga line of lively arms at the back end. Marmol is a middle relief guy. I'm not sure depth is the problem. He leaves starters in too long, allowing them to tire and let 2 guys get on base before turning to his relievers to bail out his starters, then utilizes those relievers about as poorly as he can.

    Interesting timing to announce a goalie signing. Also, lower center, just below chin strap beard guy. Drunk middle aged woman, or drunkest middle aged woman? http://cdn2.sbnation.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/14111141/143025810.0_standard_709.0.jpg

    Is he wearing a bulletproof vest, or some sort of girdle?
  10. jersey cubs fan
    There was a list on here somewhere about the bust rates at different positions. I thought there were a couple 3B.
  11. jersey cubs fan
    My concern is rooted in the fact that "solid" power probably isn't enough from him. He pretty much has to be a near elite bat and his eliteness is going to have to come from the power.

    http://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/prospect-notebook-javier-baez-powers-through-fsl/ That is a weird way of phrasing it. The successful ones learn from their mistakes, but talent alone doesn't mean a guy will figure out how to lay off bad pitches.
  13. jersey cubs fan
    Yeah, I was more surprised with how unimpressive his numbers were than getting critical about them. Last year he hit 10 HR in 168 A- PA. This year it's just 8 in 237. Certainly he's capable of a hot streak, especially if the weather cooperates. But I was hoping he'd be something like a top 5 OPS guy for his league this year to allow people to look past his flaws. Ultimately I'd like him to be a big part of a trade for a better player. But if he's got a couple dozen guys in his league outproducing him that is going to be tough.

    That Ilyn Payne ish cannot stand How is that not a double minor? Unsportsmanlike, slashing, or cross checking, take your pick. How does Toews get a roughing minor but Crawford doesn't? Goalies always get the leeway.
  15. jersey cubs fan
    In a black and white yes or no situation I see no way for anybody to honestly answer yes. In a more nuanced poll there's room for debate.

    Sounds like it was just a monster shot. It hit the Leinenkugel sign. I was at the game, he hit it pretty hard. Vogelbach also took second on what looked like a long single to left center, tagged up on a fly to RF that wasn't real deep and scored on a passed ball that didn't get that far away from the catcher. He didn't look as slow as I figured he would. Almora's walk was a nice PA, but he seemed aggressive in his other ABs. I didn't see his double in the 10th, but one of his singles was a hard hit ball to the SS that should have been an out if not for a bad throw. That kind of surprising straight line speed is not uncommon among your fatty types. It's the lateral movement that's an issue.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    Cool beans. Vogelbach seems to be doing well. He's somebody who is going to have to just keep hitting and hitting to retain (or gain) value as a prospect. I haven't been paying too close attention to him but everything seems to be good. ... Big boy has a sub 800 OPS, behind 25 other guys in the Midwest League? Poop

    They started with a cheap shot in the playoffs. The main brawl was in the next regular season, but there was another mini brawl in that ensuing playoffs.
  20. jersey cubs fan
    such a shame
  21. jersey cubs fan
    I was happy about the back-to-back. I thought that definitely gave the Hawks the advantage. Knocking Quick out of the game was so sweet. Hopefully that gets into his head a bit. It would be great if we can take 1 out of 2 in L.A. That would put us in the driver's seat to head back to the finals. I was very concerned about the back to back mostly because of LA's great home record and their goalies ability to win one on his own.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    Never seen a guy hit somebody with his back like that.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    I hate when they leave starters in long, with elevated pitch counts only to force a reliever into the game with men already on. Let your reliever enter a clean inning with a lead
  24. jersey cubs fan
    Southpaw deserves a promotion
  25. jersey cubs fan
    Don't draft fullbacks especially ones who do nothing particularly great and have legal issues in college
