Roast

I suppose there's still a shot that Theo/Hoyer are holding their poker faces until the very last second in hopes of getting just a little bit more. Or at least, that's my hope. I just dont see the upside of him starting. He either keeps his trade value as high as it currently is or drops it due to injury/a crappy performance. Not sure his value can really go up from where it is, barring a no-hitter or something.

Ugh.

Lots.

Holy [expletive]. Hah, yeah, I'm still around. Sometimes. It's the rare slow day at work with not many of the boss-people here. I'm welcoming myself back to the interwebs. How much did that Reyes HR hurt you? Hah! I was watching that at home. That was pretty hilarious.

Thanks guys! And yeah, I'd love to see a mini bidding war get started here. If it drives up the price a little, great. I just don't want to see Dempster on the mound tonight. It would be just far too Cub-like to watch him get hit in the arm with a liner.

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS #nationals said trying hard on dempster. #braves in, & #tigers may be, too. 1 gm still thinks #dodgers still favorite tho

I've got to assume it's a bluff. There's no way Theo is dumb enough to risk injury or a bad game from Dempster when there are offers on the table.

Well hello there. Long time, no see. Anywho, I've got a question for you all. I'm currently working on an article and I'm trying to find some minor league statistics - and I'm having a hell of a time finding them. Baseball-reference has some very basic statistics, but even their minor league stats are a bit thin. Mostly what I'm looking for are box scores - preferably with play-by-play, but that's not 100% necessary - from recent seasons. Think 2007-2010 Cubs minor league box scores. Is there anywhere on the glorious interwebs that stores that information? Thanks in advance for any help. EDIT: I know every day there are box scores posted in this forum, I'm just looking for somewhere that I don't have to scroll through 20 pages of message board posts to find what I'm looking for.

Heyman is now also reporting there is no interest in Z amongst the Yankees.

I was really happy when I heard the Cubs were gonna do this. Good for them.

Excuse me if this has already been posted somewhere, but I just saw this come up on twitter this morning. Pretty cool... http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/qa-darwin-barney/

I really, really can't stand Bogans sometimes.

I think it's really stupid that all they did was add los or el to the team names. I suppose. However, they still look cool if you ask me.
