    Stop the presses

    He's also making Devin Mesoraco the primary backup to Ryan Hanigan, it would seem Yes. Bench your #1 prospect instead of giving him AB's in the minors, Dusty. That sounds about par for the course. Although you can put some blame on Jocketty for that, too.

    Andrew Cashner has been doing well for the Padres thus far, having three consecutive identical outings of 1 IP, 1 BB, 1 K. Also saw, because of an old news update on his fantasy profile on CBS, that in his spring debut he was AVERAGING 102.2 MPH?!?! I knew he could touch 100, didn't know he could get it that high.

    His hat is like a shark's fin. His uniform also is the deepest/blue-est. Ok, so how doesthat not apply to the rest of the roster? Again, for real why is his nickname Shark? http://www.und.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/102005aaj.html

    Well Ozzie sure didn't waste any time... http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/7787381/miami-marlins-ozzie-guillen-apologizes-fidel-castro-comment

    Ubaldo has a no hitter through 6 right now. Walked Rasmus this last half inning and lost the perfect game

    My buddy said he read somewhere that "Save Ferris" was displayed on the LED board at some point during the game yesterday? I haven't seen or heard anything of the sort, so it might've just been rumor, but I found that to be mildly humorous
  8. Clem Fandango
    Well apparently the Reds aren't going to let that happen...

    His back is hurting because he's been carrying everyone else's weight all game. HEY-O

    Wrong dome, sport. Superdome evacuees were ushered to the Astrodome when it became unsafe for them to be there, but the rape and murders were a myth. I just felt like bringing back that old wives tale. You know, for nostalgia!
  11. Clem Fandango
    Looks like you can still smell the fresh scent of rape and murder form Hurricane Katrina!

    The only thing I know about Luis Valbuena is how much Bruce Drennan disliked him in his epic 2010 Cleveland Indians rant
  13. Clem Fandango
    Considering that's around league average and his BABIP the following 2 years was .308 in 2010 and .318 in 2011? Yeah. I'd say he wasn't as good as he should've been in 2009 due to a lack of scouting, and the league had continually gotten better against him over the following 2 seasons, mostly because he brings nothing dominant to the table. He pitches in a pitchers haven half the year and pitches to contact and he still has abysmal numbers. That's not a very good sign. You can argue his FIP and xFIP make him better than advertised, but even then those numbers don't jump out at you. Oh, but what does jump out at me are his 2009 FIP and xFIP, you know, the year he was showcasing his talents and it wasn't luck? Yeah, those numbers were 4.77 and 4.27
  14. Clem Fandango
    You can just as easily chalk up his 2009 success to lack of scouting and luck (.258 2nd half BABIP). As an aside, has anyone checked out Jacob Turner's contract details, it's somewhat interesting...
  15. Clem Fandango
    Targeting Porcello would be for the same reason you target Turner: upside. Porcello still hasn't proven he's capable of being a serious threat against major league batters, despite being in the rotation for 3 years. So if you're targeting for his upside, you compare the two, and prior to Turner's shoulder scare (which he claims is fine now and doctors are saying was just a bout of tendinitis), Turner comes out in front of Porcello by a wide margin. There's nothing wrong with targeting Porcello in the right deal, but to dismiss Turner in favor of him is a bit much. Of course we all want the younger guy who is near MLB ready and has more upside over the guy who has 3 years of MLB service time on his record and has yet to provide any sort of indication that he's going to break out at any minute.
  16. Clem Fandango
    You can't be serious. Considering that Turner has recently developed some shoulder concerns, it's not out of the realm of possibility for him to be serious... That being said, I don't approve. I like Porcello, but not as a center piece (which I think is also the general consensus of most people on this board)
  17. Clem Fandango
    Wow. Can't say he hasn't earned it, but that's a huge contract for the Reds to dish out. Somewhere else mentioned that Brandon Phillips will likely be released into free agency instead of extended because of it. Not interested in the Cubs pursuing him, but thought it was a mildly intriguing MLB storyline
  18. Clem Fandango
    It's almost comical how far behind the Cubs were in terms of, well... everything that involves common sense, pretty much

    Looks like everyone's favorite complimentary trade target made the Tigers rotation http://espn.go.com/mlb/spring2012/story/_/id/7762166/2012-spring-training-lefty-drew-smyly-22-earns-spot-tigers-rotation
  21. Clem Fandango
    Yeah, screw you Jason Jaramillo! Man, what a piece of [expletive]. All jobless and then showing up to Cubs camp after being OFFERED one!?!? Then he gets released and has the audacity to go looking for another job!? What an [expletive]! I'm glad Paul Sullivan calls these guys out on their [expletive]

    Oh yeah, how could I forget about this awesome gem: http://www.northsidebaseball.com//forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=54334&

    Do the Dodgers really pull in that much money that a $2 billion price tag is reasonable? I know they're in one of the largest markets, but they don't seem like one of those teams that people outside of their market goes crazy for, unlike the Red Sox, Yankees, and Cubs.
  25. Clem Fandango
    I'm sure this has been posted, but if anyone needs reassurance... http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/building-through-the-draft-worst-of-the-worst/ The Cubs were 26th. The Red Sox were 1st. The people responsible for the Red Sox being 1st run our organization now. Be happy, damnit
