Roster cuts coming?
abuck1220 replied to Bear Cub's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
i don't see how marshall deserves that spot over hill, but i'd rather have him than kirk reuter or something. -
geez, this season needs to start. i'm sick of hearing about how great/awful guys' spring numbers are.
-
All that warm Arizona air, and the scantily clad women, must be really rough eh Bruce? :lol: I was there last weekend. There are quite a few scantily clad women in the stands who should descantify their clad. It was a rough sight. yeah, it's hardly a feast for the eyes at those games.
-
i think they'll take the 32nd pick.
-
then is he ruling out guzman getting that spot?
-
he reached my patience limit some time in 2005.
-
but our defense is AWESOME! and you win games w/ defense, people.
-
I'm guessing/hoping he just meant that the #5 starter wouldn't break camp with the team period. They originally wanted Guzman, Marshall, and Hill to all pitch at either AA or AAA for a couple of weeks to win the job, so hopefully they realize just how bad of a decision putting the 5th starter in the bullpen would be. that's what i though too. but when mentioning marshall he said he put himself in the position "to make the club." to me, that sounds like breaking camp w/ the team.
-
what's the alternative? woo kirk reuter out of retirement? regardless of whether a team is contending, i'd rather throw a guy out there who has the potential of being good than throw someone out there who you just hope doesn't suck to his fullest sucking potential. i'd be happy w/ either hill or marshall.
-
he didnt really elaborate, the interview was short and generally just the same old generic answers to the same old questions, although ryu wasnt even mentioned i dont think yeah, i heard it. it just seemed weird that he specifically mentioned that marshall could make the club (as opposed to being called up on the 15th as the 5th starter) while specifically saying that guzman won't make the team out of camp. and, no i don't think ryu was mentioned. he did say that he gets calls every day about gooz, hill, and marshall.
-
odd that he said that marshall could make the club while guzman won't. does that mean marshall could be the long guy instead of ryu? i'd rather see marshall get starts in AA or AAA.
-
thank goodness the cubs signed a guy with a bat. for a while there i thought they were going to sign that guy w/ no arms.

Anyone know how Korey has played this spring

every time walker isn't in a lineup, i'm afraid he's been traded.

patterson's having a much better spring than slappy mcbuntsingle, that's for sure. -
man, if the cubs trade walker and hairston get hurt (as he has been known to), the middle infield of cedeno and neifi has the potential to be flat out awful. oh, but the defense!! if you want to start hairston, whatever...just don't trade walker.
-
You're supposed to respect the language, whatever the hell that meant. because white people certainly respected the culture of the native americans when we wiped them out/stashed them in reservations.
-
i only watched from the last few minutes of regulation on. i thought there were a few defensive fouls called on GM that bailed out uconn. and that jump ball call when the GM guy cleanly stripped the ball away was terrible.
-
geez, the refs gave uconn every chance to win that one.
-
yesterday len said you don't see pierre get thrown out bunting very often. that's twice in two days. hard to bunt for a hit when the 3b can set up in the batter's lap.
-
b/c ST is just a small number of innings against guys that are going to be bagging groceries in a couple of weeks (well...sent down the the minors anyway). Wuertz would be on a bus to Iowa right now if it wasn't for Baker taking into account the last couple of seasons. It's only fair that Rusch and Williams get the same benefit of the doubt. Then explain to me why Williams and Rusch seem to be having trouble getting the grocery baggers they're facing and Guzman and Marshall aren't? Either way, my actual point was to ask why it was a foregone conclusion that Williams and Rusch would fill out two rotation spots 'automatically'. Marshall and Guzman haven't proven anything at the ML level. Williams and Rusch have and it counts in their favor. A few ST games are almost meaningless unless you pull a Wuertz. all rusch has proven at the ML level is that he sucks. why do bad innings count in favor of guys as 'experience'?
-
hill's line... 4 ip, 5 h, 1 er, 0 bb, 4 k's, save. gotta love him keeping the walks down. i'm still surprised that he appears to be third in line at this point.
-
As best I could determine, Hill had a couple of rocky spells but worked out with only giving up one run. The later innings I can't tell you much. thanks for the updates, by the way.
-
so 12 innings of one run ball b/w hill, gooz, and marshall? good thing spring training doesn't count for rusch and williams. awesome job by marshall today...couldn't happen to a nicer guy. i still think the 5th spot in the rotation will be determined by who has the best first couple starts in the minors.
