  1. awesome reference. Haven't thought of bad ass billy since I was like 13.
  2. it's like a laid-back/on valium Gary Sheffield stance.
  3. He was a 3B for the majority of his time in the minors. 85 career games at the ML level.
  4. He loves getting Matt Szczur questions so he can call him Reed Johnson.
  5. Probably, but that speaks to how terrible our pitching talent is. Indeed. Unless they acquire some close to major league ready arms via some trades, it's going to be a while before the Cubs have anybody ready to contribute at the top of the rotation. Currently at Mesa is Paul Blackburn and Dillon Maples, who finally threw last night. Yet to appear are Pierce Johnson and Duane Underwood. That's four. Outside of Ben Wells, who is recovering from TJS, that's it. Unless, Whitenack or McNutt somehow return to form. Jose Arias, Tayler Scott, and James Pugliese at Boise are all solid arms. Jose Rosario and Starling Peralta at Peoria as well. Whitenack should be given a bit of a pass coming of TJS. Yes, they're solid but not projected to be TOR. Whitenack is being given a pass for that reason exactly. Was just listing good arms not in rookie-ball.

  7. Because Valbuena and LaHair do not deserve to play, especially against a left handed starting pitcher. I think he meant why is Baker playing RF and Mather playing 3rd. Mather is brutal at 3rd.
  8. Szczur with a sharp groundball past Billy Hamilton. 3/3.
  9. He's 18 in the MIDW and way more likely to stick at SS.
  10. Alex Meyer is better than whatever the Dodgers are reportedly offering I agree, and can't see them parting with him for Dempster. I don't see Nationals as a fit at all unless he's on the table.
  11. The Nationals have Alex Meyer and that's about it. Solis and Purke are huge injury concerns.
  12. I think you're confusing bending over backwards with "letting the Dodgers bend the Cubs over"
  13. Josh Vitters is Sickel's prospect of the day: http://www.minorleagueball.com/2012/7/30/3200012/prospect-josh-vitters-3b-chicago-cubs-iowa-scouting-report#storyjump
  14. shields is weird. this year his k-rate is at an all-time high, walks slightly up, but not that much.
  15. Brain cramp. yeah, he'd be on the list.
  16. Cliff Lee has a no-trade to 21 teams. Interesting.
  17. Only eight? I'd trade every one of them if the deal made sense for the team. Actually 9. Johnson, Baker, Soto, Dempster, Garza, Maholm, LaHair, Marmol, Camp I thought about DeJesus but he's my Cubs man crush at the moment. wtf did you forget that anthony rizzo is on this team? i reserve my baseball man crushes for slightly-above average players that take walks. mark derosa was the previous man crush.
