  1. Don't put Chris Flexen on the poor guy. I know he's not good but Flexen had a 86 stuff+ last year compared to Thornton's 96.
  2. He almost hit the wall on the fly opposite field in the 1st inning for a double as well
  3. I don't think Cade Horton had the changeup in college and that ended up being his best pitch last year, so I guess that would give me a little more hopium for Rabe.
  4. Fastball, cutter, slider is a little concerning. Sounds like he needs something that moves arm-side. But touching 100 with 60 control would be hard to pass on
  5. As bad as the Orioles have been, they're 3.5 games out of the playoffs
  6. I'm surprised he hasn't been promoted already. He hasn't given up more than 1 run since May 27. Granted, some of those outings were 2 or 3 innings, but I think the only concern with him right now is strike throwing. Maybe he pitches one more time and goes to Iowa after the all-star break. Hopefully along with Ayers
  7. Can someone sell me on Daniel Jackson? Seems like he's not a lock to stay behind the plate and there's a ton of swing and miss potential. Where would you put him on the board with others like Rose and Strosnider?
  8. I still think the best comp is Byron Buxton if he wasn't always hurt
  9. Sounds like Poteet is at least average defensively all-around, that's good to hear
  10. I was curious how bad the Cubs hitters have actually been at challenging because of how bad it's seemed. They're at 43% overturn rate, 36/84. So the eye test definitely checked out. League average for batters is 48%. Also, Fangraphs has a stat that measures the run value of batter challenges and Cubs are 23rd.
  11. never in a million years would I have believed pete could sustain a 13 percent walk rate for 6 weeks
  12. I still like the idea of taking Carson Wiggins in the 1st to save pool for other rounds
  13. There's a good chance Joe Ryan will be worth more wins in his next 40 starts than Rojas and Alcantara will be in their entire careers, and I like both of them. Not to mention Rojas is also completely blocked position wise.
  14. I like Rose but would be a little disappointed if they took him with Gracia and Strosnider on the board. Robbins I wouldn't want any part of
  15. Agreed 100% I can understand it if it's just a no-hitter, but there is almost no chance he gets this close to a perfect game ever again. So he throws 120 pitches, given him some extra rest before his next start or just skip it entirely.
  16. Marlins about to take a guy out with a perfect game after 7 innings. 92 pitches
  17. If Joe Ryan only cost Rojas and KA I'd do it immediately
