If Quintana throws a perfect game against the Cubs while also on my opponent's fantasy team, there is not a syringe in the world capable of holding the dose I would need.
I'm dumbfounded as to why he keeps coming in for important spots. I completely forgot he was with the organization, let alone on the 40 man, before the start of this season.
Between the two balls to the warning track in the Villanueva start at Miller Park and the hitting the top of the wall the last few days, Castro is about a cumulative 10 ft from having 8 or 9 bombs already.
Since we were future fapping I took a look at the OFers who would be able via free agency in 2015. The best guys available are Colby Rasmus and Melky Cabrera. Really there aren't any impact bats that are 31 or under other than Hanley and Sandoval, and I'm not even sure Sandoval can be considered an impact bat anymore. Any offensive upgrades are going to have to come via trade.
Be warned, this list is pretty damn awful. http://www.minorleagueball.com/2014/5/1/5640414/top-150-prospects-for-2014-baseball-john-sickels Baez 10 Bryant 12 Almora 32 Edwards 42 Soler 62 Alcantara 87 Pierce 114 Things that really stand out to me. Robert Stephenson is apparently the second best pitching prospect in baseball? There is no way there are 8 pitching prospects better than Taijuan Walker who comes in at 23. Sano at 21 and Bundy at 31, both too low. Trevor bauer at 26 is way way too high. The single most egregious ranking is having Jameson Taillon at 99.
What are the Red Sox going to do with Mookie Betts? The guy is absolutely destroying AA ball to the tune of a .407/.459/.651 1.110 OPS. He has only struck out 8 times in 96 plate appearances while walking 10 times. He has also stolen 10 bases while being caught once. He's blocked at 2B behind Pedroia and Bogaerts is blocking him at 3B.
Archie Bradley hits the DL with a strained flexor in his elbow. Are there any elite pitchers left unscathed at this point? Bradley, Walker, Bundy, Taillon, Zimmer, Edwards, Urias, Appel etc etc
