    I think that HR knocked a satellite out of orbit.

    Jackson can't be traded until one year has passed since he signed. Hence the "Jay Jackson TYPE" meaning someone similar to him in high A or AA that I could not think of off the top of my head. :wink: There aren't any. :(

    Do you have him in your top 10? yeah, i have higher hopes for him than guys like Flaherty, Rhee and Colvin I can see having hopes for him, but he'll be 23 and in his 3rd pro season to start next year without any time above Peoria. I mean, he's a solid three years older than Rhee, and Rhee was better at Peoria(although obviously the injury is a big concern). Plus the guy probably won't end up sticking in CF when all is said and done.

    Wasn't that Tracy Morgan?

    st louis cardinals, 2006. Any success Notre Dame has had, ever.

    yes God forbid a team celebrate one of the biggest comebacks in major league playoff history to keep their season alive. Fair enough. I'm just pissed off.
  8. Outshined_One
    What a terrible read on that ball. Quit celebrating like you won the WS, you idiots.
  9. Outshined_One
    Walkoff wild pitch, imo.

    I really hate Boston.
  11. Outshined_One
    Oh Christ. I hate seeing other teams with horseshoes crammed up their rear ends.
  12. Outshined_One
    That would have been one of the most hilarious bunt hits of all time.
  13. Outshined_One
    Well, so much for that.
  14. Outshined_One
    They had 86 years of bad mojo. They're due for some good mojo. I just wish they'd send some our way. :( At least they made it to the WS a number of times in those 86 years. Masterson's control is really iffy right now. This inning is about to get ugly for the Red Sox.
  15. Outshined_One
    Dumb time for the hit and run.
  16. Outshined_One
    I liked Coleman when I saw him, but he was working with a fastball was in the high 80s, I think touching 90/91 at some points. He had a great feel for pitching, but if he doesn't sharpen his curve and get a better working velocity, I don't see him becoming more than a back end of the rotation starter at best.
  17. Outshined_One
    Throw-in, and not a very good one. He's had four seasons where he's spent significant time in AAA. Other teams have had opportunities to get him via the Rule 5 Draft and the Cubs haven't bothered to give him much time in the majors, even as a pinch hitter. His age hurts, too.
  18. Outshined_One
    This is like the Imaginationland episode of South Park where I'm Kurt Russell and I got raped

    You could... except you can't, because he's never had any serious injuries or shown signs of injury. Some pitchers are freaks of nature and can throw 100+ pitches 90% of the year. Sabathia has been doing it for years in Cleveland. Milwaukee really wasn't doing anything different that wasn't already happening in Cleveland, so the whole "The Brewers are ruining his future" argument is stupid. He's a freak. I'm not so sure about that. He looked terrible in the playoffs, like he had nothing left in the tank. It's possible the guy won't have arm issues in the future, but I'm leery enough to think that a big dollar multi-year contract would not be the best idea for him.
  20. Outshined_One
    He doesn't have much power and has iffy patience at the plate. I like how he's young for AA and has produced there, but his peripherals are kind of eh.
  21. Outshined_One
    As a Type B, a team can sign him early without having to forfeit any draft picks. It's like the Brewers did with Jason Kendall. Also, point taken on those three, although I think Patterson and Gallagher wouldn't have qualified for the list in terms of playing time with the Cubs had they stayed. That's more of a counterfactual situation, though. Assuming he turned it around in the MWL like he did following his trade to the A's, I think 3 or 4 on my list would be about right.
  22. Outshined_One
    The Rays look unbeatable. Yeowza.
  23. Outshined_One
    If Wood and Dempster aren't back we will have a chance to reload in a hurry. Ditto Howry, who could end up being a Type B. I'm a bit concerned about the lack of names on these Top 10 lists who were drafted after the first round prior to this year. There's only one name consistently on any of these lists that fits that mold in Samardzija. While there's still time for guys like Rundle, Huseby, Thomas, Guyer, etc. to develop and blossom, it's a bit disconcerting.
  24. Outshined_One
    Everything after the Top 10 is a mess for me. Most of the quality lies in guys who either are at very low levels, guys with checkered injury histories, or guys whose ceilings aren't particularly noteworthy, although they have a reasonable chance of making the majors. I think there's some promise in this system, but the lack of depth and talent is a bit jarring.
  25. Outshined_One
    I have to think the Padres would be looking for something for Peavy along the lines of what the Indians got for Sabathia. Adding Greene to the mix only adds to the players needed to complete it. I'm having difficulty coming up with a comparable package to what the Brewers gave up for CC.
