Cubs sign Cody Allen; Going to South Bend
Post Count Padder replied to UMFan83's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Doesn't hurt to see what he has left but looking at his stats the last two years I'm guessing is his velo is down and he's struggling with his other pitches. Might be cooked but we don't have a great pen at the moment so -
Good for Rea. Will be his first MLB action since 2016. Has had good stuff and was great in Iowa last year. Glad he's getting a look.
-
Fortunately the pen is already in midseason form.....
-
Stunning. He was an all star recently and still has good stuff.
-
Wait, I am getting Mitre confused with Rueben Quevedo Wow mitre sucks.
-
Brad Wieck to the DL, Ryan Tepera up from South Bend.
-
Really hoped we would hold on to him. Oh well. Now he'll hit 5 homers against us later this season.

General Baseball Chit-Chat Thread
Post Count Padder replied to David's topic in General Baseball Talk
Tom Hatch, who we traded for David Phelps, made his MLB debut today and tossed two scoreless innings. With the expanded rosters, I'm curious what familiar faces/former farmhands will get a shot elsewhere. Rafael Dolis made his first major league appearance since 2013 the other day. -

Daniel Bard has made the Rockies' roster. He hasn't pitched in the majors since 2013 and has issued 46 walks in his last 13 professional innings. -
We traded cash today to the Padres to keep Megill and not have to worry about Rule 5 rules. We pulled him off the 40 man (he still has options) and added Kipnis to the 40 man. Kinda ensures Kipnis makes it and now Megill can be in the taxi squad and opens up a roster spot for another pitcher.

Just video game your way through this season. I think that's the closest we're gonna get. Really don't see how we manage to have any sports in 2020.
-
I'd prefer a three headed monster of Cotton/Mills/Alzolay over Chatwood. I just don't think he is gonna get the job done as a fifth starter. Maybe they'll do a piggyback situation.
-
I don't think about Minch much but it does reflect the (understandable) frustration among minor leaguers, especially now with the MiLB season cancelled.

So Schwarbs is gonna DH right? Or Souza because we don't know how his legs will hold up? I know we "don't have money" but having the DH now and a shortened season REALLY makes me wanna sign Piug. Puig-Happ-Heyward in the OF with Souza and Almora backing up, Schwarber full time DH.
-
Phillies just nabbed a local prep kid out of Ocean City NJ high school, Jake McKenna, BA's 434th ranked prospect in the Draft. He got the maximum $20k. Gonna be interesting to see how many high school seniors take a deal.
-
Graham Lawson was an 12th round pick 2 years ago by the Nats. McKeon was a 21st rounder last year. Small sample size but Leeper struck out 14 in just 7 innings this spring.
-
So I could probably look this up but I'm lazy: how much do we have allotted to sign UDFAs? And how many do you think we'll sign? And how long will the process take. I get this is all new but in the NFL Draft, there's like a mad rush to sign guys in the 2-3 days after.
-
He sounds excited.
-
Insert Obi Wan "that's a name I haven't heard in a long time" gif
-
So it seems like we did pretty well? Early to tell but some high upside prospects and a couple power arms to energize the system.
-
I just noticed in Baseball Reference's 2020 season simulation, we're in dead last at 27-43 and have traded Quintana to the Rays for Kevin Kiermeier and prospect Taj Bradley. We also sign Bryant to a 4 year, $100 mil extension.
-
The Indians drafted pitcher Logan Allen. They already have a pitching prospect named Logan Allen. That won't be confusing.
-
Power lefty who could move quickly? Sure. The clips of his curve make my knees buckle.
