    Given his age I imagine he'll be looking for a Cespedes-like deal so he can cash in on a bigger paycheck before he starts to decline. Cubs could definitely use him. They were already in a position to ship off some prospects for bigger fish and not be hurt by it. Adding him to the fold softens the blow even more in the event it happens, but adding him also almost guarantees it happens. Putting him in the lineup means one of our guys likely gets moved. The question is who gets moved?

    HOF board cut eligibility from 15 years to 10 http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/11267278/baseball-hall-fame-cuts-election-eligibility-10-years

    I would argue that people that DO follow the minors closely are the ones more likely to understand the percentage of flameouts (take a look at law's lol top 20 from a couple yrs ago posted elsewhere). the people that are like "the infield is going to combine for 120 homers next year" are the ones that don't seem to follow prospects that closely. Because there's anyone here that does that? Get real. david said 100 hr a season from an infield that didn't include bryant. not necessarily next year, but still. Even if you do throw some reasonable numbers out there... Rizzo: 37HR Baez: 32HR Castro: 17HR Russell: 15HR 101HR. It's not an unreasonable possibility, it's just yet to be proven if our prospects will sink or swim

    I hate to really derail the topic, but... Not that Pierzynski is any good anymore, but this is like the two worst things in baseball being even worse.

    I think the photographer wanted to share the photo before they got back to their computer to process it

    As someone who was raised in Florida, all of the above is accurate. Especially the old people part. They're the worst.

    I mentioned it in the movie thread. It was super awesome. Watched it twice in two days.

    He's autographing them "Jeffrey Baez"
  13. Clem Fandango
    That's why he's probably #1 on the list of players to move, so the FO can't try and sell high on his basic stats in hopes of getting something of value for him before he turns into a pumpkin

    "Hey Mark Skeezer, want to watch me hit BP?" "My name is Matt Szczur, Javy" "Whatever, Miles. Maybe Ike Polk wants to watch me hit BP" "His name is Mike Olt, Javy." "Stop [expletive] around, Millicent"

    Isn't there always a DH when an AL team is involved, regardless if it's home or away? I vaguely recall that being the situation when I was working for the Bay Bears, though I'm not 100% on that

    well said? I'm surprised re Soler. I'm not too surprised. He's got a MLB contract so he doesn't fall in the prospect realm of losing team control and what not. There's no harm in bringing him up early, plus he was already advanced enough that he would've moved quickly (maybe already been on the club) if his injuries didn't keep him out so long.

    It also immediately reminded me of this http://www.mtv.com/videos/misc/149802/exorcism-part-1.jhtml

    You know how you always see in TV an movies a terminally ill child/young person meeting a baseball player and asking him to hit a home run for him, and then the player dramatically has to hit a home run some how to make the kid happy? And it's super tacky and you're just like "Ugh, this is so cliché!" Rizzo did that for real, which is way more awesome http://www.si.com/mlb/2014/07/23/cubs-anthony-rizzo-home-run-cancer-patient

    Perhaps he thought the expletive was another word which made it seem bad, which is what I initially thought. Also, I have no idea what constitutes a good or bad IsoD, and Googling it to find out yields nothing but info on ISO or IsoP. Found the formula (OBP - AVG - IBB), but couldn't find anything on averages or statistics for IsoD. Wanted to educate myself. Anyone care to enlighten as to what is a barometer for good and bad IsoD's?

    TIL Lars Anderson is in the Chicago Cubs system. Hmm, he wasn't putting up awful numbers at AAA, but considering how old he is now it's not that special. He can be soemone else's Bryan LaHair some day

    This is why over in the Rizzo thread I was optimistic about Javy's ability to be as good if not better than Rizzo at the plate. If he cuts down the K's and increases the BB's, then he might be one of the most dangerous hitters in the majors. That said, what Rizzo has done the last few games since I posted that is making that look like an insurmountable task, not that I'm complaining
