    dont count on it, look who we got coming up Do you seriously think DeRosa is a bad player? Yes. You don't know that much about baseball do you? I think he's kidding. He has to be right?
  2. UMFan83
    There you go Fuk
  3. UMFan83
    He's good at defense.
  4. UMFan83
    Ronny is just swinging at everything again isn't he?
  5. UMFan83
    That would have been nice last night Hoff
  6. UMFan83
    .239/.295/.398/.693 in his last 43 games.

    So if Jim Hendry was like "I freaking want CC Sabathia, and every player not on our 25 man roster is available" we still won't be able to get CC in your guys opinions?
  8. UMFan83
    why would anyone want Beltre? if Colvin, Patterson, and Veal are packaged, it better be for somebody a helluva lot better than Adrian Beltre I think he's making the point that its probably the best we can do for those guys.

    Thank God, I was worried Jim Hendry would do something dumb
  10. UMFan83
    Cedeno's last 25 games (62 PA) .190/.242/.207/.449 with just one XBH

    Could it be that they realized the minor league experiment wasn't working and have just decided to make him throw side sessions and simulated games until he works things out? He definitely seems like he's going the Ankiel route...except he sucks at hitting.
  12. UMFan83
    Joking aside, what minor league players have any damn value for trading? They might be aggressive, but the quality of player they will get will probably not be up to our expectations if that is the pool we are trading from...

    Except I think Chase broke a bone in his throwing hand

    You should chant back "NEVER NEVER!"

    Why would it be a good thing for it to be between the 3B and pitcher? It's not going to get past them, and it makes a shorter throw for the 3B with more momentum to the base. Also, like has been mentioned, barehanding a slow roller and throwing to first from 3B is pretty easy, especially for a professional baseball player. It looks cool(and it's tons of fun to do), but it's not very difficult. Apparently it is pretty difficult because he made a horrible throw. There were lots of places he could have messed up that play. He could have missed the barehand, he could have launched an awful throw, the first baseman could have bobbled the ball (very likely considering the long hop and the direction that ball took after hitting the ground). I would take my chances with that bunt over his .292 OBP against righties any day.

    I thought it was a good bunt. It was hit a little hard, but it was placed between the 3B and pitcher. Longoria had to make a great barehanded grab and throw to get him. I think that play had a 50% chance of being a hit...which is better than the odds of him getting on by hitting normally.

    So assuming no major speed bumps, we're looking at a conservative ETA of sometime in 2010? Conservative would be 2012(2009 A+, 2010 AA, 2011 AAA). If he advances well it might be sometime in 2011. Wow, I always thought pitchers could move up the system much quicker than hitters. I realize he is a foreign prospect that is probably extremely raw, and I understand keeping him in Peoria this year, but I figure if he dominates in Peoria, why not bring him up to Tennessee to start next year. And if he does well in Tennessee, why not Iowa to start 2010. And if he's still pitching well in Iowa, and we need a spark in Chicago bring him up during the year. But this is why you guys know the system better than I

    I think he's starting for the Schaumburg Flyers this week.

    Since I don't follow the minor league forum as much as you guys obviously do. How is Dae-Eun Rhee been doing? I know he's been injured for awhile and his MiLB game log says that he has been pitching well his last few starts, but only for 3-4 inning stints. I know he is only 19 and its his first season in American pro ball, but is he a pitcher we should be getting excited about? Assuming he stays injury free, is it a possibility we see him at Tennessee or even Iowa this year or are the Cubs going to take it really slow with him? Since we have no talent about to reach the big league level, and no sure thing in the lower minors, guys with a lot of upside are all I have right now. Tell me I can be excited about him.
  21. UMFan83
    Oh no how will I go throughout life without Colvin and Patterson and Veal and company?
  22. UMFan83
    Some of the postgame comments indicated that the Rays manager sensed this was coming and warned Longoria right as the play was about to happen.
  23. UMFan83
    The only person that this would help is Ronny Cedeno. And all it would do is give him a hit and an RBI. What's the point?
  24. UMFan83
    I would hope Jim Hendry knows that at this point Rich Hill is more valuable to us than he is in a trade. If you were going to trade him, you should have last offseason.

    If there is one city out there that I think deserves a major professional sports championship, Boston immediately comes to mind. If it wasn't for the Patriots choking, they'd own 3 of the 4 current American sports championships.
