    They might be closer to equals than we think, but I've always assumed, based on Bogaerts' age and numbers in the minors, that he was bound to be a 30-40 homer type player some day. Looking at Russell's numbers I got the impression he'd be more of a 20-30 type guy, but if the scouts and analysts are saying he's "Barry Larkin with power" then I suppose that would put him up with Bogaerts

    They should make him wear the Defending Your Life robe

    Isn't he on vacation in Chicago this week with his family? Over/under on how many ballots he makes his family fill out at the game?

    He's gonna be our Kuroda I hope They're really not similar, stuff-wise. Wasn't really making a hard effort to compare outside of the fact that he'll be making his debut at 33 like Kuroda did. Also, it was partially hyperbolic in that I don't necessarily think he'll be that good, but I do genuinely hope he is (and who doesn't, really?).

    Someone split our farm system into two Top 10's in the MiLB forums, it was just copy and pasted Hey that was me! And I didn't want to spend 30 seconds looking up who did it, lol. Kudos.

    I figured out what was wrong with my Chrome and not playing MLB.tv properly, in case anyone else has similar issues. Type chrome://plugins/ in the URL bar and go down to flash, there is probably two plugins that are enabled. Disable one of them and retry. If it doesn't work, alternate them and try again. It worked for me. No longer have to load Firefox to watch games. Which is nice because I have two monitors and Firefox is stupid and won't leave the video player maximized on the other screen if I'm actively using the other.

    I've seen a lot of people quoting a scouting report that called him "Barry Larkin with power". I also just looked up Larkin's numbers and on the surface they look good and then you start looking closer and realize oh yeah Larkin was [expletive] amazing. He averaged 5.2 rWAR (5.0 fWAR) over the course of 12 seasons. Supposedly we have that... but he hits for more power.

    Quite a few posters got pretty excited when the Cubs started playing better and winning some games. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while An almost 2 month long nut, eh? I was antagonizing a bit. Fact is, the Cubs lost two guys who play once every 5 days. 3 of their last 4 wins were achieved with starters who weren't them. There's no reason they can't keep winning ball games. It's the offense that is developing and getting better that's helping them win more lately. I honestly think between Wada, Hendricks, Beeler, etc. to replace Shark and Hammel that the Cubs can still do just fine the way they've been doing the last couple of months. I think a lot of people who are upset at the Cubs "blowing up the team" don't realize that the Cubs can still continue to perform at the same level they've been performing at.

    I think there are less of those because there are teams out there who aren't interested in paying more than league minimum for their young players. They want to milk them for every cent they're worth before they're forced to pony up. It's two different strategies. Those who are extending early are taking a gamble on their talent and betting that they are legitimately worth an extension. It has more to do with teams rather than the players. I bet every single player wants to immediately make $5 million a year their first season in the bigs instead of $425,000 or whatever league minimum is these days. It's the teams that don't want to pay them.
