  1. speaking of walks, dan vogelbach walks on 4 pitches.
  2. damn, vogelbach just hit a 450 ft foul ball
  3. Wow, Pugliese has some funky mechanics. lincecum'ish
  4. he's never had above 96 innings for a season in the minor leagues and hasn't started since 2010 this was Goldstein's blurb on Lindblom before this year:
  5. not saying anything about his stuff, but there's definitely been a lot of inconsistency during his career.
  6. Really? I think that's a pretty piss poor return for an ace like Greinke, even a rental. I'm not nearly as high on Segura as many, I guess. Hellweg and Pena seem ... decent, but nothing exceptional. Put it another way - I think they got 3 B, B- types, and for an ace like Greinke, I think this is an absolute steal for the Angels to not have to give up Cowart or Richards. Edit: I know they wanted to shoot for a middle infielder in this trade, and it's possible Segura was the best they could get, but still ... I just don't think this is a good return, even accounting for that factor. i think greinke being an "ace" is pretty debatable
  7. the real question is his defense, because he's not gonna have much value anywhere else, even if he hits
  8. wonder if they gave up segura. I can't really think of any other good prospects they have at the moment.
  9. i think you missed the upside part
  10. http://blogs.suntimes.com/cubs/2012/07/braves_wren_chicago_cubs_dempster_nixe.html Really old, sorry.
  11. Don't see how they could give up a package like that for a pitcher who has shown decreased stuff after shoulder problems.
  12. if you believe uzr, anyway.
  13. At worst, I think all three have to slot into that 11-20 range. The system doesn't exactly have that many high upside chips, so Wells/Rosario would seem to have a chance to make it on there. I think people somewhat forget how good Wells' May was (which makes the injury all the more disappointing, he was upping his K rate and becoming more consistent, would've been awesome to see if he could've kept it up). Whitenack's a bit safer to rank in that range, IMO, as he's pitching now and I still hear solid velocity reports on him, so you hope that consistency comes as he gets more work in. I mean, you look at those arms in comparison to say, the Beeler/McNutt types, and for ranking purposes, I'd much rather gamble on them, particularly Wells, who should be pitching by at least mid-season next year, barring something bad happening. I was unsure where McNutt slots as this point. I guess it depends on if they're committed to keeping him in the bullpen or just letting him work on certain things before moving him back to the rotation.
  14. I can't rate Underwood ahead of Blackburn I know Blackburn is more polished at this stage, but I love Underwood's ceiling.
  15. just got home. rizzo HR and a starlin castro 3-hit game? yay, especially starlin. he really needed that.
  16. Only a team run by morons wouldn't claim Garza.
  17. I've got Johnson, Underwood, and Maples lumped together at this point. Whether they should be 4-6 or 10-12, I have no idea.
  18. almora with his first pro strikeout. soler flies out to left
  19. wilson contreras ejected in the boise game for leading with his forearm in a homeplate collision. wow
  20. lmao. arias came out for the 7th and hit the first guy. arias and manager mark johnson ejected
  21. jose arias dealing. k rate still sucks but lots of weak contact i'd say he threw at least 70% fastballs
