    Yeah i heard that too. Cut that sh*t out Pat, stop making excuses. He sucks, and he's gonna get DFA'd in about 96 hours. I doubt that. I don't see any reason to keep him over Alberto Gonzalez.

    heh, this sums up what I was thinking. All in a days work Cubs, all in a days work

    The bottom third of this lineup really sucks doesnt it?

    Why do they schedule 10:35am (Pittsburgh time) games on a weekday? its 12:35 starts there, 11:35 here.

    Fair enough. I don't think he's one of our top 30 prospects, and he wasn't in the NSBB list of top 30 guys (although maybe we excluded him). But yeah, good catch. Still my point stands. Very interesting choice to demote him all the way down to Lo-A. We'll see what happens.

    It's surprising, and yet it isn't. You don't want a Rule 5 guy there obviously, but he's the raw type of arm that really should've been in A+ ball last year developing. That said, A ball is a bit odd. I wonder if they are trying to stretch him out. One other possibility is that they want Lendy in A ball instead of A+/AA so they can better keep track of him instead of going to XST. I doubt it, but something to keep in mind this year with some movement, considering the proximity of Kane County to Chicago. I can't buy the second reason. I mean he's not even one of our top 30 prospects, why would they want to keep an eye on him vs. any other prospect? Castillo pitched at Lo-A in 2011, even though it could be argued 2012 was a "lost year" developmentally since he only pitched 20 innings in minor league games, he's still a year older, and a year more mature. I expected Castillo to open up at AA, but if not, at least Hi-A. The lack of quality arms starting in Daytona means he could have easily had room to start there. Something's not stirring the kool-aid here. Maybe the Cubs really just don't value him anymore?

    Hilarious that our Rule 5 pick from last year in down in Lo-A this year.

    What's changing with AZ Phil?
  10. wekim81
    At some point here we should probably get that 17-yr old Carlos A. Rodriguez on here. Granted, no one knows too much about him, but doing what he did at 16 in the DSL should at least get him mentioned. Thanks for your work running this Raisin.

    Rizzo left gm with an injury. Slid into dugout area for a foul ball and appeared to be favoring his knee. Not too good. At least he walked off under his own power
  12. wekim81
    He figured if he got his inning of doom out of the way early, then people could say he settled down and pitched 4 strong innings. Well he's settled down and put up 0s in innings 2 thru 4. Jackson's 2nd K was swinging at a pitch in the dirt. Looked awful
  13. wekim81
    At the I Cubs gm. volstad give up 5 in the top of the first. Velocity was down and wasn't fooling anyone. 5 isn't too bad though right?

    FYI, this did not happen. Not the first, not the last time my predictions have been overly optimistic. You had me buying your optimism.
  15. wekim81
    I know we suck, but look at this lineup for HOU: Shuck 8 Altuve 4 Martinez 7 Downs 3 Paredes 5 Bogusevic 9 Barmes 6 Corcoran 2 Norris 1
  16. wekim81
    great post. I agree.
  17. wekim81
    He's 2 for 2 so far. =D>
  18. wekim81
    I dont think hot's the right word to describe soriano. He hit .186 in July and is 4-21 in August..
  19. wekim81
    Byrd didnt play Friday. I dont think you sit the guy twice in 3 days.
  20. wekim81
    Would you be willing to go Dempster/Marshall? Yes. Definitely. Even if we had to eat a big chunk of Dempster's 2012 deal.
  21. wekim81
    3 in a row! 3 in a row!

    Forget the fecal league [expletive], i just wanna win a GD game

    Why not again? Drafted last year and playing well. Maybe get moved to High A by end of this year and AA next year. Last I looked Jokisch is pitching a little better than our first round pick, and they are the same age! We'll see. My cousin who goes to a lot of peoria games said he really liked jokisch. I've seen him pitch twice in Peoria, once out of the pen piggybacking someone and once starting - and i came away with the impression that he's one of those types who will do well at lower levels but get swallowed up as he advances. He doesnt throw hard (didnt break 90 according to the guys w/ the guns i talked to at the game), and while his breaking pitch looked decent, he wasn't getting a ton of swings and misses. I could be wrong (and as a Cubs fan, I hope I am) - but I think he's the least prospect wise of the 5 guys the Chiefs are starting (Kirk, Hicks, and Peralta for sure, and probably Del Valle too). Just my .02

    Interesting. Quite a year for Loosen - from XST to Daytona's pen to Peoria's pen to Peoria's rotation to Tennessee's rotation. I'm gonna get over to Peoria for Del Valle's first home start. Really interested to see him pitch live (not sure why, but I am).
  25. wekim81
    Marcus Hatley is taking his spot in Tennessee. But he's likely to pitch out of the pen. Not sure who will take Struck's rotation spot. Has the ship sailed on Ryan Searle as a starter?
