    If Schwarber can treat the Reds as Votto has us for the past half decade, I should like that very much.
  2. Little Slide Rooter
    With a good lefty on the mound, tonight could be as good a time as any to put Schwarber in LF.
  3. Little Slide Rooter
    I'd rather pull Hendricks (if necessary) and risk Beeler getting shelled for 7-8 innings.
  4. Little Slide Rooter
    Correct, per several beat guys. Eh. The deadline's, what, 9 days away? He'll have maybe 1 more start. And if he's that bad today, then they could just give Wada his next one and go from there.

    Greyfer Eregua: 24.2 IP 5/32 BB/K 1.82 ERA 0.77 WHIP. Anything to this one?
  6. Little Slide Rooter
    I'm wondering if it could work against them. Being up for the Rule 5, wouldn't AA success make him more tempting of a pick?
  7. Little Slide Rooter
    Tough call. But riddle me this; Would you trade Arrieta, Strop, Grimm, Ramirez, Edwards, Rosscup, and Olt for Archer, Hak Ju Lee, Brandon Guyer, and Steve Clevenger?
  8. Little Slide Rooter
    I don't think you'd win that argument. I'm not saying that he won't turn it around and once again be a productive, if not valuable piece to the puzzle. But the ship on him being the key to it all has sailed; and promptly blown up by the USS BryZzo and The Jolly Schwarber

    Castro Doesn't ring a bell. The only Castro I can think of is the light hitting short stop that everyone hates.
  10. Little Slide Rooter
    Probbaly more along the lines of a golf clap. And then they go back to adressing the the excessive K's and RLOB.
  11. Little Slide Rooter
    And who was that guy who had 6 RBI in his first big league game? I want to say Gary Scott.
  12. Little Slide Rooter
    That awkward moment when Kyle realizes that he forgot to log out of the "David" account.
  13. Little Slide Rooter
    All I know is that if in 5 years, we're looking back on this group of hitting prospects as we do the pitching prospects of 15 years ago (dear God, was it really15 years ago? :stickman: , ) I will never believe in anything again.
  14. Little Slide Rooter
    Are the people currently worrying about Bryant the ones who a few months ago were talking about him as they are Schwarber now? Just curious.
  15. Little Slide Rooter
    That inning, yes. The other 12, not so much.
  16. Little Slide Rooter
    Over the next 3 years, Detroit owes over $100MM/ year between Migs, Verlander (who might be dead,) V-Mart, Sanchez, and Kinsler alone. Damn.
  17. Little Slide Rooter
    A lot of well regarded minds were waaaaay off here.
  18. Little Slide Rooter
    Alcantara and Villanueva both putting together some nice little stretches just in time for the deadline.
  19. Little Slide Rooter
    12 hours and no mention of how the Cardinals will pick him up and turn him into Sandy Koufax? For shame.
  20. Little Slide Rooter
    Is Chesny someone we should be excited about? He is always hitting, but it seems like it's only singles. Does he just have a highs BABIP, or is he just leg out grounders? I really don't know what to make of this one. He's 22 in and between A/A+ he's at .336/.403/.404. Not much power to speak of, and doesn't walk much. It's tempting to make the obvious small, gritty, white guy comps. But in their age 22 seasons: Ryan Theriot (A) .252/.335/.313 Tony Campana (RK/A-) .267/.340/.267 Sam Fuld is a realistic comp. His first year pro, he was 23 at A: .300/.377/.433. At age 22, Stephen Bruno hit .362/.436/.478, but only played 19 games. His only full season was the next year when he hit .276/.346/.393 at AA. After getting overly ambitious with Dustin Pedroia, who hit .305/.384/.426. 5HR At AAA, I came to a man who I perhaps despised more than Jim Edmonds in his heyday: David Eckstein. At age 22 at A, he hit .301/.407/.426. He had more power and more walks. But if a slightly poorer man's David Eckstein is Chesney Young's ceiling, I would be very Ok with that.

    Have we taken talent from the Brewers?
  22. Little Slide Rooter
    Schwarber did bat 6 in the 17-0 stomping of Cleveland. Granted, that was with AL rules. But Ross was catching, which is basically like having a pitcher in the lineup.
  23. Little Slide Rooter
    I don't know who Robert Garcia is, but he's a 21 year old AZLer who's tearing through these high schoolers like..ok, that won't end well. My point is that he's bit old for AZL, but damn. .403/.457/.567. Steals some bases too. Doesn't walk much.
  24. Little Slide Rooter
    Was just looking over some of these numbers for Arrieta: 0.99 WHiP (excellent- 1.00) 2.60 FIP (>excellent- 2.9) 2.72 xFIP (>excellent- 2.9) 69/67/72 ERA-/FIP-/xFIP- (>excellent- 70) 26.5 K% (>excellent- 25%) 5.3% BB% (great/excellent- 6%=great/4% great) So, um, yeah.
