Can someone please fill me in on the FSL? Is it primarily a hitters league or pitchers league? It looks like we have a lot of guys really doing well there this year.
I get the feeling we are going to see Jim trade guys like Fuld, Coleman, and Harrison to the Royals for Teahan. Kind of a meh deal as far as I'm concerned, but I can definitely see him doing something very similar....
Quantity never means as much as quality in these deals. Theres a lot of quality in that package. Maybe even a bit too much. 1 top prospect in the league 2 major league ready quality starting pitchers 3 of our top prospects 2 very young players with a lot of upside We can throw Fox/Hoff in there for good measure I suppose. They are better suited for AL teams anyways.
I say we go for it, and unload the farm: Cubs Get: Roy Our old buddy Scott Downs Jays Get: Vitters Marshall Wells Colvin Thomas Castillo Jackson Carpenter Sound good?
Guys, anyone have anything on Chris Matlock? He's the D2 pitcher of the year, and I went to school with him. I read that he would be a top 20 round pick. I think he'd be a perfect right-handed specialist for any team. Throws submarine with a fastball in the high 80's and a down right NASTY slider. Thanks!
How long until Cashner is placed into the pen as a closer? I'm pretty sure the only reason why he is in the rotation at Daytona is to build up his arm strength, and possible work on some secondary pitches... I don't think he "projects" as a starting pitcer, but who knows I guess?
