  2. Unfortunately the 30 pounds was all water weight.
  3. I agree. Unless he can't get the ball over the plate from going so long without real pitching, he should be on the roster.

  5. He basically has the same profile as Kyle Hendricks did at this time last year, with slightly better stuff.
  6. Should be before the valley heat wave if we're lucky. Raley Field is great, too.
  7. June 13-16 at the River Cats... that's a 50-50 proposition I think. Not sure if I should root for it or against it.
  8. Nope, still want the DH. There will always be Vogelbachs.
  9. Baez was #2 (obviously) on BA's best minor league SS list. Gleyber Torres was #28. Good ol' Hak-Ju Lee hanging in at #14. The whole class is historically good right now and has the best depth of any position right now.
  10. Hadn't heard that. Interesting.
  11. I love all the fluff. Keep it coming. http://i.imgur.com/2sdffQl.gif
  12. Pineyro, Skulina, Maples.
  13. Super happy I traded for him in my keeper league a couple years ago. He holds a special place on my bench. Man, that trade ended up super crappy for both parties.
  14. http://apps.ohlulz.com/ncaa/?f4m=http://cbsicollege-lh.akamaihd.net/z/435318_ecu9WFOQ@133650/manifest.f4m Game starts in 20 minutes. Even better.
  15. Good memory, because he wasn't known for it. He's not bad, but he was always going to be a guy likely to move to a corner down the line.
  16. Tangled, there's a "watch" link on the Virginia baseball site that connects to CBS Sports Network (I think). Thanks, I'll try this.
  17. Anyway to watch the Hoffman game tonight?
  18. For Jackson, yeah. For Olt, he has a lot more wiggle room because of plus-power and plus-defense at a premium position.
  19. And guys like Garner, Loosen, Peralta, and Pugliese can be lot more valuable as middle-relievers than outfielders who play average CF defense and struggle to hit .200 without plus-power.
  20. Interesting exercise. Personally, I still think Brett can contribute more to a big league club than Vitters, due to D and baserunning. Not by much, but I think he'll wind up having a slightly better(still non productive) ML career. Although, the Cuddyer mention does lend SOME hope for Vitters honestly. Off that list though, I'd take Jackson or Vitters over the following- Rodriguez, Garner, Ha, Pugliese, Watkins, Loosen, and Peralta. I'm basing it off of if another team DFA'd Brett or Vitters, I'd trade one of those guys for either of those two. Cates, Rosscup, Szczur, and Andreoli would be iffy as well. The rest still have too much unknown for me to gibe them up for something I consider trivial. The reports on Rodriguez' stuff was pretty blah, Garner is a middle reiiever type, Ha is a 25th man type without the perceived upside, Pugliese is a decent arm, but the upside thing would allow me to give him up, Watkins does nothing for me, ditto Loosen, and I don't see Peralta ever putting it together. Cates and Rosscup both look decent in relief, but neither give me he vibe they're irreplaceable either. And neither Szczur or Andreoli are anything special obviously, although I do feel as if Andreoli has been overlooked a bit. Andreoli IS Szczur, except with better production and no hype because of his draft history.
  21. Would you give up anybody on this list for Brett Jackson? Carlos Rodriguez David Garner Dustin Geiger Eloy Jimenez Erling Moreno Frandy de la Rosa Gioskar Amaya Gleyber Torres Jacob Hanneman Jae-Hoon Ha James Pugliese Jen-Ho Tseng John Andreoli Jose Paulino Josh Conway Josh Vitters Logan Watkins Marco Hernandez Mark Malave Matt Loosen Matt Szczur Ryan McNeil Scott Frazier Starling Peralta Stephen Bruno Trevor Clifton Trey Masek Zach Cates Zach Rosscup
  22. Bryant and Almora make Rizzo look like Fernando from Chuck.
  23. Jesus, what a massive [expletive]-up. Whoever works with the Phillies making these descisons is either insane or has some kind of personal vendetta against these kids.
