I remember hearing somewhere that he had done a lot of work with Soriano this year and supposedly his great play in May was a result of it.
-
Interesting. I don't really blame him squarely for our hitting woes, but if they want to can him whatever go ahead.
-
That's pretty amazing. For some reason I thought another 8 seed had won the Cup. I think one of the teams in the mid-aughts made the Finals as an 8 seed and lost. I want to say that was the Oilers. They're the closest team to win it as an 8 seed.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 6-11-12
UMFan83 replied to Outshined_One's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
I mean are you serious? 10 days of waiting vs. millions of dollars down the road? How can you even argue against that? The fact that the Cubs are a Big market team doesnt mean they need to throw their money around recklessly for no reason. -
Idiot Devils, you are supposed to give up the 3-0 in Game 7, not Game 6
-
Right...we should only go after players that have a 100% success rate like.....FAs? 2016 Cubs: Free Agent, CF Free Agent, RF Castro, SS Free Agent, LF Free Agent, 1B Free Agent, 2B Free Agent, C Garza, SP Samardzija, SP Free Agent, SP Free Agent, SP Free Agent, SP Yay that was fun.

Didn't you make that joke a couple hours ago? Or was that someone else. Anyways.. http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/6773/murdersthrow.jpg The funny part is the Apprentice Assassins part that you can barely read. I believe it reads: Francis Beltran, Juan Cruz, Ryan Dempster, Angel Guzman, Jon Leicester, Sergio Mitre, Renyel Pinto, Felix Sanchez (?), Carlos ?, Todd Wellemeyer
-
Hmm, that would be awesome. I hope I'm still living in the area when that takes place. Since its unlikely I'll be seeing a world series in the next 3-4 years, this is the next best event that can take place there.
-
Who cares? Obviously it won't turn out even close to what we are projecting, but its fun to dream about it working out this way, as it takes our attention away from this crappy 2012 team. Anyways, its nice to see that we have somewhat high ceiling prospects at every position except 2B and C.
-
I don't think its worth ranking the Cubs system until after the deadline, when it could look even better than it does now. If we can trade Garza for 1-2 high profile prospects, we might be a top 10 - top 5 system.
-
Bump....Fun using this to project the 2016 Cubs :) I might have gone overboard though.
-
I don't see where anyone said that Theo's Cubs are being more frugal as a long term strategy, just at this point in the rebuilding process, and specifically avoiding spending heavily on short/medium term deals to MLB players that won't be around in 2-3 years.
-
If Soler, Almora and Baez are all in Peoria at the same time, I'd either be disappointed in Baez's progress or thrilled at Soler's progress or both. I think meeting in Daytona or Tennessee is more likely if at all. Luckily my brother lives in Daytona Beach and is 5 min walking distance to the park.
-
Just wait until they come to Kane County like I have done. Edit: Ashamed to admit I went to see Vitters, and watch Chris Archer uncharacteristically walk a bunch of people.
-
Yay! 2015 Cubs are gonna rock.
-
Yes I'm sick of being swept by these guys. I know we are terrible and highly likely to get swept but maybe just one win guys??
-
Thoughts on this latest news WSR?
-
Why is PSD such a great source for Cubs insider news? When did those guys pass us in popularity? I remember going over there 2008 and found there wasn't as much discussion as there was over here.
-
If nothing else, hopefully this silences those in the Cubs will never sign another big free agent camp. Not saying that they'll go all out and land Hamels, Upton, and McCarthy but that going after at least one is a possibility. Additionally, this is the 2nd hint by Sveum that at least in his eyes that Josh Vitters isn't ready and likely won't be by 2013. Wow who has ever said the Cubs will never sign another big FA? And who the heck is even questioning whether or not Vitters will be a Cub in 2013?
-
I don't care if we give him $40 million, get it done. I think this board has been waiting to see how this turns out for months before exploding in anger if we don't get him.
-
It's funny to watch Lalas arguing with Ballack and Rossi and they both are like 'who the [expletive] is this American bozo'
-
The Yankees plan is to replace Swisher with...Soler next year? Wtf
-
Mark Cuban
-
Let's pick him up and then trade him for another crappy reliever. Dude you've made 31 posts today...slow down

Is it common to draft so many prospects that have converted from position player to pitcher? It seems like 2 out of every 3 scouting reports that Raisin posted mentioned a conversion from hitter to pitcher. If its not, is it a specific strategy by Theo and co to draft players that are possibly undervalued because of their relative newness to pitching?
