Even when they implement replay, MLB still manages to screw it up in impressive fashion. God, I love this sport sometimes.

Re: 2010 Cubs Top Prospect Lists

I'm impressed with how aggressive you are with Rusin, Lopez, and Reed. -

It's worth noting that Mike Quade was once a hotshot managerial prospect. He won minor league manager of the year twice (1991 and 1993) and was also one of the finalists for the Cubs' managerial job back in 2006. Plus, he's been with the Cubs since 2003. Considering how much time he's logged in the minors and with the Cubs, I think he has a much better claim to being "owed" this job than Sandberg. The players seemed to like him and he didn't seem like much of a bonehead with things like pitcher usage and lineups (save for how he used Koyie Hill). The Castro thing was kind of dumb, but whatever. This is better than overpaying for Girardi.

I hope you're right. Iowa and Michigan State have been the two biggest pains in the ass for the Badgers since I first went to Wisconsin in 2002. In a season like this, it'd figure if their two losses were to those teams.
-
Let's see, playing at Iowa the week after the biggest game of the year for the Badgers? Yeah, mark that down as a loss for Wisconsin.

From yesterday's game: 3B Vitters 1/4, R, RBI, HR LF Flaherty 0/4, R, 2 K, Assist RP K. Smit 2 scoreless, 2 H, 1 K, 0 BB RP C. Carpenter 2 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 2 K, 2 BB, WP

He's a reformed alcoholic, so it probably won't be as much fun as you'd think.

Apparently, Instructs end Saturday. Lots of updates! 10/13 10/14 10/15 Fantastic news about Kim only having a leg cramp.
-
Flaherty went 1/4 and made two errors at 2B today. David Cales' struggles continued, as he pitched .2 IP with 1 H, 1 ER, and a 2-0 GO-FO.

Just thought I'd get this up in advance so we have a centralized place for various Cubs top prospect lists. NSBB will once again be doing a Top Cubs Prospects list, which will be posted and discussed at a later time. I'm also curious to see what everyone's rankings look like on NSBB. Despite a lot of big names graduating (Cashner and Castro), the Cubs made some interesting trades (Lopez and Wallach) and had an interesting draft, to say the least. So, some questions for discussion... 1) Who is the top prospect in this system? 2) Who is underrated? 3) Who is overrated?

Keep in mind that only successful sacrifice bunts are recorded. That number is low. In terms of sacrifice bunting, I think it's a complete and total waste of an out when it comes to non-pitchers. I know there's something to be said for teaching prospects how to bunt, but the vast majority of those prospects will not be bunting as a way of collecting infield hits. Moreover, it's especially disconcerting when you take into account the articles Sandberg has written and the quotes he's made about "playing the game the right way." Based on those articles and interviews, as well as his various minor league decisions as manager, Sandberg strikes me as the kind of manager who'd rather have a team of David Ecksteins over a team of Adam Dunns. I am staunchly against productive outs and unnecessary aggression on the basepaths. We don't need a manager who wants sacrifice bunts, hit and runs, hitting to the right side to move runners over, etc. Our offense is already bad enough. We don't need someone coming in who decides to make it worse because that's how baseball should be played.

Was vaguely hoping they'd put Jay Jackson on the back end, but considering the size of the league and Jackson's struggles this year, it is indeed unsurprising.

and Colombian White in respect for Washington. =D>

Jose Canseco approves.

agreed. problem for the giants is, the phillies can hit and they can't. The Giants have two tough LHPs (Sanchez and Bumgarner) who'll cause issues for the Phillies. I think the Phillies will win the series (in 6), but it'll be closer and lower scoring than people expect. it depends on whether or not sanchez throws the ball over the plate. the phillies are a patient team and won't help him out by swinging at a lot of bad balls. by the way, the phillies hit better against LHP than against RHP this season. utley is just as good against LHP as RHP (and actually was much better against LHP this year), and the problems that howard (especially) and ibanez (to a lesser extent) suffer against them are offset by the fact that werth kills lefties, and victorino and ruiz are significantly better against them. Hm, was focusing on their individual numbers instead of overall. Whoops. I'm rooting for the Rangers tonight. Anyone else?
-
Well, at least he gets to the playoffs. Plus, he won't have to worry about facing the Yankees in the NLDS.
-
It does seem to add credence to the theory that Quade will be managing the team next season.
