Jose Altuve is 5'6" and 165lbs yet he already has 9HR and is currently slugging .670.

I think the opposite. Going to be very surprised if they can overturn at 1st.

So you can apparently challenge as many things as you want as long as it's in a single play now.

Could have made that play at home....

So disappointing

Sure would be nice if Heyward decided to be anything better than awful.As much as I enjoy rolling over everything to the 2B and a mighty .250slg.

For the fan base of a team that is 17-8 and in first place, you think they'd spend more times talking about their own team.

The same easy going guy who posted picture of a dead Oscar Taveras on his twitter as well various porn related things. Seems like a good fella.

Did Tampa just take a kicker at pick 59?

Well I guess that confirms that GB stole our guy.

If the Bears take Connor Cook I'm going to get sick. Can't believe they didn't take Bell back at 49.

Absolutely hate this pick. Gave up a 4th rounder for nothing.

Carter some how walks on 4 strikes and 2 balls.

they are so far ahead of us in the rebuilding process that they are starting the next rebuild already Houston has a lot more left on the farm than we do. Martes should be a top 25 arm by mid year, Bregman is destroying AA, Reed is starting to recover from a slow start, but unquestionably remains the best 1B prospect in the minors. They'll have their choices of Michael Feliz, Francis Martes and Joe Musgrove for the rotation next year. 2017 and going forward they'll be a vastly improved team.

Isn't Smith out for the year? If it was full year I completely missed that, I was under the impression it was ASB at latest.

Even more than another starter I want a dominating lefty reliever. I'd love to take McGee from COL or Will Smith from MIL.

Are we really going to get every Harper AB all year interrupting the games?

Seriously, he was like 5 feet from 3b before he finally threw the damn ball.

Bettis is actually pretty decent(3.85FIP,3.89xFIP), which is why I expect this to be the only game of the series the Cubs don't put up 7 or more.

I don't think there's much question that Candelario can handle third base in the big leagues. It's part of why I have him ranked so highly. I didn't realize the opinion of his defense had risen so drastically. It feels like this time last year he was a guy who would be tolerable if he could rake.

1. Willson Contreras-Nearly MLB ready and continued to rake in the fall league. 2. Gleyber Torres- Would like to see more power with that strike out rate, but he's done very well while aggressively pushed. 3.Eloy Jiminez- Shows a patient approach rare for a young power hitter. This is the year he starts to get noticed as a top prospect. He and Jomar Reyes explode on the scene and show they're just as talented as Rafael Devers. 4. Dylan Cease- 2 plus pitches, with a third that is underused but has the making of an average offering along with plus plus velocity. The ceiling is high on this one. 5. Ian Happ- The power, the patience and the speed are nice, the K% is not, especially for a college bat. If he can stick at 2B he probably deserves to be higher, but I'm doubting it. 6.Albert Almora- Great second half and impressive D in spring training. He's not terribly exciting but I think he's a good bet to bring 2-3fWAR seasons. 7.Billy McKinney- He has done nothing but rake, unfortunately he plays a position where he needs to rake even harder. He's going to have a long mlb career, but if he can muster 15-20HR power will determine whether it's as a 4th OFer or a starter. 8.Oscar De La Cruz- Impressive last year and intriguing this year if it's true that he's added a few ticks to his fastball making him a 94-95mph guy. 9.Jeimer Candelario- The bat is a lot more impressive than I thought, but when he's likely to end up in corner outfield spot or 1B it needed to be. If by chance he sticks at 3B, he'd be much higher on the list. 10.Duane Underwood- Still barely hanging onto the top 10. How can he feature 2 plus pitchers with plus velocity and miss so few bats? For me this is the make or break year for him.

Pittsburgh is going to be really scary when Taillon and Glasnow get promoted.

Maybe I'm wrong, but Jake's delivery looks more over the top than it was last year. Less movement.

Greinke getting rocked right now.
