  1. Seriously. Anybody with a good K rate should be held under lock and key.
  2. i see torreyes as a sure a bet to be a productive major league player as anyone in the system. he may not have the high ceiling as some of the others, but as you've said, his hit tool is too good not to make it and stay for a long time. if he makes the bigs: best case - polanco most likely - fernando vina worse case - mark lemke What the hell? You just turned on Torreyes! You just blindsided him. He knew you were all in on him and now you just hit him in the head with a steel chair. Take out Mark Lemke and move Polanco to most likely and Vina to worst case and I'll buy it more. I'm still working on best case.
  3. Love him. Though it is a bit sad that the realistic best case scenario for the Cubs is that he is a great trade chip.
  4. Candelario just took a walk in the bottom of the 9th with the Hawks down 15-1. Want. Vogelbach with his 2nd hit.
  5. http://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/gallery/yes/Al_Bundy_excited.gif
  6. Almora and Soler with doubles in the 3rd.
  7. True, but in the offseason it would be possible for him to work out an extension with the team he's traded to, almost like a sign and trade type deal.
  8. oh, I think I know who it is. He is on Boise.
  9. I was hoping no one would ever bring him up, so not to jinx it. But that's exactly what I see Torreyes becoming, minus a little speed. I've been avoiding this comp for another player in the Cubs system, and you won't get me to type it out (at least, I doubt I'll type it out at any point this year) ... but the positive scenario you guys are hoping for with Torreyes is to essentially become ... Dustin Pedroia. "You guys are hoping for", so it's official: you're pulling against Torreyes! Sorry man, had to, you left it open......Honestly, I can't see Torreyes developing 20 homer power, which keeps me from hoping for Pedroia. On the other hand, you see someone else in our system as a Pedroia comp? If so, I think it's pretty easy to see. I won't make you type it out, but his name rhymes with papaya..... lol, was gonna say, there aren't a lot possibilities.
  10. I'm with Dew on this one. I'd much prefer Doubront/Barnes, or even Doubront/Owens.
  11. Boise Hawks announcer said no word on why Jose Arias didn't start for Boise last night. Weird.
  12. I love Barney, but Torreyes is a guy who could have an elite bat for a 2B while playing good defense. Not Barney defense, but good.
  13. Top 10 no question, could be high as 5 when all is said and done.
  14. i'd be ok with delgado as the best piece in a garza trade at this point, if there were at least 2 other significant parts. Absolutely.
  15. I let out an honest "Ohh!" after reading that.
  16. I still don't get why he was in AA and not AAA.
  17. delicious. just in time for the padres series.
  18. claiming him then trading him for prospects is a cool idea, but the contract is horrific.
