    150M well spent.

    Ugh

    Tryptamine replied to Tim's topic in General Baseball Talk

    25HRs later he's going to sign a disgustingly reasonable deal with STL and cause us frustration for the next decade.

    Does no one mention Dansby because they don't think he's going to be there for the Cub's pick? If the Cubs passed him up I'd be livid.

    Pitching is too deep to even consider it. There are 7 or 8 other pitchers out there that you could convince me are on par with Aiken before his injury. Disagree. If Aiken legitimately was considered a 1.1 candidate last year, he would have at least been considered the top pitcher again this year, pre-TJS, in another weak draft. Besides, nearly all the top pitchers have suffered injuries this season (Aiken, Allard - though it's only his back, Buehler and Matuela). So that leaves Tate, Kirby (doesn't have as good stuff as Aiken), Fulmer (reliever ceiling?) and Funkhouser who haven't been hurt. Yet. Just out of curiosity, what makes you think Fulmer's best case scenario is a reliever other than size? Granted he's only averaging 6IP per start, but that's not too bad when you're putting up a 12.86K/9.

    People mocked the Astros medical staff for thinking there was an issue with his elbow because other name doctors disagreed. Aiken's elbow pops. If they should be mocked it would be for not doing a more thorough medical examination before the draft, not for reducing an offer on what they perceived to be damaged goods. This is exactly the point. There was nothing there to perceive as damaged goods. There is no proof that a small UCL leads to TJS and their were doctors, including James Andrews, who said as much. It was a fabricated story to drive Aiken's price down. You could literally make up anything that's slightly out of the ordinary and claim that you're worried about and use it as an excuse to drive the price down.

    Between Baltimore,Boston,Arizona and whoever else is out there, I can't see Castillo being a Cub much longer.
  7. Tryptamine
    I really hope he's the 5th starter when he's healthy.
  8. Tryptamine
    So that leaves us with Coke and Britton as loogy options? I can't say I'm thrilled about that.

    Pitching is too deep to even consider it. There are 7 or 8 other pitchers out there that you could convince me are on par with Aiken before his injury. Before the injury? In this draft? Nah, don't think so. I liked Allard,Tate and Matuella more personally. I don't think there was much separation between Aiken and Buehler,Kirby,Fulmer.
  10. Tryptamine
    So many people trumpeting the Astros for being right on Aiken, when him having TJS is almost completely irrelevant to the original discussion.

    Bryant rung up on a ball for the second time tonight.
  12. Tryptamine
    Baez gets robbed of a walk. This Ump is not good.

    So, the Orioles might send Gausman to the pen. I don't know if I've ever seen a team send their best pitcher to the pen before. http://m.orioles.mlb.com/news/article/115010574/baltimore-orioles-want-kevin-gausman-ready-to-be-both-a-starter-and-a-reliever

    As Olt hits a bomb....
  16. Tryptamine
    Seriously, how are you going to give Weaver an inch and a half on all parts of the plate? Hitters don't stand a chance.
  17. Tryptamine
    To be fair Kendrick,Uribe and Rollins are on the last year of their contracts. Next year there's a decent chance it looks like 3B:Olivera SS:Seager 2B:Guerrero(though the d sucks)
  18. Tryptamine
    6 straight hits, impressive. edit: Make that 7.
  19. Tryptamine
    Why is Edwin still on this roster?
  20. Tryptamine
    I can't believe neither of these games are on TV.
  21. Tryptamine
    This from the team with Kyle [expletive] Kendrick as their opening day starter. With all that said, imagine how bad his shoulder must be in order to just give up on him.
  22. Tryptamine
    HR Castillo, keeps increasing that trade value.
  23. Tryptamine
    Where did all that muscle go? He's not old enough to be that skinny and emaciated naturally.
  24. Tryptamine
    i honestly don't understand how you can know enough about these guys (especially high school ones) to have this strong an opinion...what made daz cameron fall so far from being thought of as the 2015 #1 like last summer? He hasn't made the progress that was expected of him, but still has all the tools. Most mocks have him as a borderline top 10 guy right now while he was a solid bet for 1.1 year ago.
  25. Tryptamine
    I was holding this small irrational hope that he'd be the 5th.
