    The Mets playing the role of the Cubs.
  2. Tryptamine
    The good news is that we may get to see Rizzo bat again.
  3. Tryptamine
    yup, any kind of momentum Marmol has built up lately is completely gone. How a professional pitcher can't throw a ball straight is completely beyond me.

    http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1244062-5-bold-predictions-for-yasel-puigs-los-angeles-dodgers-career Holy crap, this is one of the biggest fluff piece articles I've ever read with zero basis for any of it. Puig has ROY locked up in 2013, is a perennial 30/30 guy and in 2014 is just about on par with Kemp. Good god, even for BR this is awful.

    Vitters is now coming off a May and June where he has OPSed .884 and .970 respectively. That's a combined .927OPS over the last two months.
  6. Tryptamine
    I'd prefer keep him as well, but I can't see paying him the 18M or more he'd be seeking on an annual basis. I'm not sure I'd be comfortable going anymore than 15M annually.
  7. Tryptamine
    This would be big; probably the biggest ceiling of any of the guys outside of Almora.
  8. Tryptamine
    Agreed on Matusz, the velocity has been inconsistent and for the second year in a row he's getting absolutely teed off on. I'm not even sure I'd want him to headline a Dempster deal let alone a Garza deal.
  9. Tryptamine
    I agree with the disdain on pretty much any O's package outside of the very unrealistic ones involving one of Bundy/Machado. Taking formerly high ranked prospects who failed is a strategy you use for someone of Dempster's value, not Garza's. With that said, if they offered up Britton and one of Arrieta/Matusz with a couple other specs then I'd be at least somewhat intrigued.

    How big is Torreyes, and how big is he expected to get? What position do most see him ending up at (I know he's only 19 and it's still a guessing game at this point)? Torreyes is a little guy, 5-9 at the most. He's a 2B now and a 2B he will stay. This reminds me, have we heard anything about Torreyes' defense this year? I know he was touted as a very good gold glove caliber defender going into this year.
  11. Tryptamine
    I think this has disaster written all over it. Nearly 150% of what Soler got and I haven't heard anyone say his ceiling is even close. Of course then again I've seen Puig scouting reports that contradict each other all over the place. Some where he has plus plus power, some where he's just a so so talent, some where he's the fastest player in Cuban baseball.
  12. Tryptamine
    I'm on the KC bandwagon; Odorizzi, Montgomery, Cuthbert sounds great to me.
  13. Tryptamine
    2 errors, the fall going around 3rd and the dropped foul ball. It doesn't get a lot worse than that.
  14. Tryptamine
    Good lord Lahair, that ball bounced two feet in front of the plate.
  15. Tryptamine
    Jesus Len, this is starting to get Easterling type creepy.
  16. Tryptamine
    Castro walk. :yahoo:
  17. Tryptamine
    If Bronson Arroyo no hits a team, then I'm convinced something needs to be done. Of course I thought the same thing after Humber's perfect game. He has to be amongst the worst pitchers to ever toss one.
  18. Tryptamine
    How is that an error?
  19. Tryptamine
    I like my gag posts shorter and more to the point.
  20. Tryptamine
    Same thing every time lately; Garza is just way to easy to rattle.
  21. Tryptamine
    Way to maximize Youk's value.
  22. Tryptamine
    Wasn't Miller just recently put on a no shake rule? Isn't that a bit odd for a guy in AAA? I'm not sure I'm interested in him headlining a package.
  23. Tryptamine
    I don't think Lake is out of the question either.
  24. Tryptamine
    let the hype begin. Begin? I think there were a lot of us who were considering putting him top 10 last year. Of course that was more an indictment of the farm and a guy who had plate discipline in farm filled with free swingers. I stand by yesterday's comment, as far as position prospects go the Cub's farm can compete with any other team. i'm just talking national hype. He was in or around most of our top 10 lists already. Maybe I'm wrong, but if he has a good year I don't think it would be completely unrealistic to see him sneak into the top 100 or at least honorable mention. I know short season ball stats are usually taken with a grain of salt, but he's already getting a bit of national notoriety.
