Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 7-2-17
Agony and Ivy replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Willson was signed as an infielder Haugh writes about it here According to FanGraphs he started 45 games at 3B as late as 2011 The dirty little secret to all those awesome stories about how Willson Contreras converted from his original position as an infielder to catcher is that he actually originally signed as a teenager with the Cubs as a catcher, then moved to infielder, and then converted back: [tweet]https://twitter.com/jorgearangure/status/2438567866[/tweet] That, I didn't know, but early on he was splitting time between IF an C, so he was never just an IF. -

Welington Castillo was always a catcher, never was converted. You might be thinking of Robinson Chirinos, who converted from middle infielder. Willson was signed as an infielder Haugh writes about it here According to FanGraphs he started 45 games at 3B as late as 2011 -
His bouts of wildness are not ideal.

They're going to blow a no out runner in scoring position situation? get the horsefeathers out of here with that nonsense.

Bad. Unclear if better than Montero. Yeah. Tommy Birch was on the radio this morning, basically said scouts were iffy on him early on but lately the reports on his defense have gotten much better. So Carlos Corporan? Hopefully Tim Federowicz hasn't already pawned his WS ring he could probably use a job.

I think they probably forgave him for being horsefeathers on the radio complaining about PT but this was throwing a specific teammate under the bus and that's not ok. Yeah I mean he's partially right as discussed in the game thread last night but that's a really horsefeathers move to directly call out a teammate to deflect blame from yourself. Looks especially bad when you are 0-31 at throwing out runners this year regardless of pitcher and you have the 2nd slowest recorded pop time of any catcher in the majors. He could barely get the ball past the mound on the fly. Hopefully it's Caratini time, anyone have any thoughts on him defensively?

He wasn't expecting the throw to miss by 6 feet

The real question is how many attempts would it take for turner to fall down running to second?

He's a dick because an irrelevant social media personality said something dumb and he sniped back at her? Oh ok. i mean it was a playful exchange but i could swear this isn't the first time you've rage posted about lana berry she's fine (and considering she has like 110k followers including players and big time journalists, it would seem she's far from irrelevant) I don't think I have before honestly. Edit: as far as baseball observers go she's not relevant to me and I don't have a strong opinion on her skills because I don't seek out whatever content she produces. She brought it on herself and it was funny on Jake's part. But yes she is good looking.

This is dumb.

horsefeathers off Cubs

Great PA by Russell there...

I know I'm late but I feel like if you have a horsefeathering silhouette of yourself on your own horsefeathering glove you don't walk 21 year old Rule 5 catchers who cannot hit their horsefeathering weight.
-
Ok keep Jorge, KC or Omaha wherever he is
-
Wade Davis kinda blows dick.
-
Send us Jorge back
-
Brian Duensing is the horsefeathering human surrender flag Edit: it's Grimm but whatever I still hate Duensing
-
This whole Schwarber is struggling because he plays in LF narrative needs to die. My god is it stupid.
-
I didn't get that impression at all. Jake is just super average now. That's simply the new reality.
-
.... :shock: This is like a comment right out of the St. Louis Post Dispatch.

Zobrist sucks now.
