    I hope there is at least 1 front line starter in the group. Obviously the system is still hitter heavy in terms of elite talent, but its good to see the pitching side start to close the gap.
  2. UMFan83
    Cubs have done a decent job of spreading their top prospects throughout the minors. Most of the elite talent is still in the lower stages, but its getting better. AAA: Lake (currently majors) Olt Vizcaino (when healthy) AA Baez Alcantra A+ Soler Johnson Edwards A Almora Vogelbach AZL Bryant
  3. UMFan83
    So the Cubs could hypothetically get up to 9 people on people's Top 100 lists at the end of the season. Some are big stretches (aka Vizcaino) but still Baez, Soler, Almora, Bryant, Alcantra, Olt, Edwards, P. Johnson, Vizcaino. Am I missing anyone? The first 4 are pretty much gimmies, Olt should be on there if he keeps hitting like he has recently, Edwards might be close to the backend if he pitches well in Daytona. Is Johnson on people's radar? Vizcaino probably not if he doesn't pitch at all this year, but who knows.

    I was always under the impression that the MLB suspends players for a lump-sum amount of games (punishment fits the crime) like when Manny Ramirez was suspended for 100 games... If Manny got 100, why does Braun only get 63? And I assumed teams were the only ones that suspended for the remainder of the season like when the Cubs suspended Milton Bradley. I think the MLB and players union worked with an arbitrator to determine the suspensions.
  6. UMFan83
    Just looking at the numbers it looks like Olt can take a walk at least. That alone gives me more confidence in his ability than Vitters.
  7. UMFan83
    Rob Manfred, pretty much Selig's right hand man I believe. Are you kidding me?
  8. UMFan83
    And testimony from the guy that ran the thing. And Braun himself confessing.

    Dammit, I was hoping it would be for some of 2014, its pointless for him to miss the rest of 2013.

    Mark Grace scores an exclusive interview.
  12. UMFan83
    I know, Kris Bryant is done as a prospect after his performance last night.

    Over a thousand Expos fans traveled to a Toronto game today to try to gain awareness for bringing the Expos back to Montreal. I don't see it happening ever, but kind of cool that they still care. http://cache1.asset-cache.net/gc/174106352-montreal-expos-fans-in-the-outfield-as-the-gettyimages.jpg?v=1&c=IWSAsset&k=2&d=GkZZ8bf5zL1ZiijUmxa7QZZcdjJHIHA7V6zqbeWT36xbaMiuTAz14zM5b3i4JgxxUDqetNGrsdn7v%2FOC6seGpA%3D%3D

    Little Blackhawks marathon on NHL Network right now. In the 3rd period of Game 4 vs. Boston then game 7 against the Wings followed by Game 1 against Boston
  18. UMFan83
    Wait the Islanders are moving to Brooklyn for next year? I thought it was the year after. Also, I forgot to put on 3/1 vs. Pittsburgh at Soldier Field
  19. UMFan83
    Games I care about: 10/1 vs. Capitals (Banner raising) 10/19 vs. Maple Leafs (O6) 11/2 @ Jets (First game in Winnipeg since the original Jets) 11/23 @ Canucks (first Vancouver game of season) 12/14 @ Maple Leafs (O6) 1/8 vs. Rangers (O6) 1/11 @ Canadiens (O6) 1/19 vs. Bruins (SCF rematch) 1/22 @ Red Wings (Wings) 2/27 @ Rangers (O6, first game after 20 day Olympic break) 3/16 vs. Red Wings (Wings) 3/27 @ Bruins (SCF rematch) 4/9 vs. Canadiens (O6)

    Not as incredible as his attire, but I love the Jay Cutler foundation logo in the background.
  21. UMFan83
    how much did he get?
  22. UMFan83
    Brett nails it:
  23. UMFan83
    9th Although if they had a statistic for players that killed another team and then joined said team and sucked, he'd be number 1.
  24. UMFan83
    Yeah Jagr seems like another Brunette like mismatch for what the Hawks do.
