Minor League Discussion & Boxes 4-7-2008
Outshined_One replied to Outshined_One's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
The power hasn't shown itself yet this year and apparently his D leaves something to be desired. Not sure where this comes from since he threw out 4 runners tonight.... and as for one of the earlier posts, Ashwood only threw what he did because of pitch counts. 68 pitches in 3 + innings. he had three at-bats over 10 plus pitches due to foul ball after foul ball... Ah, I was talking about Tony Thomas in that post. -

Good win today. Now let us never speak of it again.
-
I will laugh my ass off if Ward is put in CF.
-
Pure and utter insanity.
-
For those of us without TV/radio, what just happened there?
-
This day just keeps getting better and better.
-
About time we get a freaking stolen base.
-
But everyone was bitching that lou should have used Marmol in the 6th. Wow Maybe Lou knows a little about this game! We wanted Marmol there because it was a bases loaded, no outs situation. In that situation, you put in your best reliever, closer status be damned.
-
Guys, guys, remember something. We still have Fukudome due up!
-
I love this team so much.
-
Jason Bay, imo.
-
Remember when Wuertz came in with the bases loaded and no outs and struck out the side? I don't think that happens today.
-
Puke.
-
Pass on Crawford at 19. He can't make enough contact. Great D though, amazing arm. Good pop in the bat too. Sounds like a future Cub to me!
-
Decent, perhaps. The major obstacle to that at this point is that he's likely 9th in the pecking order for a starter this year, behind the current rotation and Lieber, Marshall and Gallagher. Basically, I don't see it happening this year, barring some huge transactions involving 3 of the guys above him. I think Hart's best suited for the bullpen. He has one true plus pitch along with some so-so other pitches. He could be a decent back end of the rotation guy down the line, but I think he's better suited to relief work at the moment.
-
Considering Tim Beckham won't be around when the Cubs pick in the forthcoming summer draft, the best SS we can hope for is Brandon Crawford. I'm sure Raisin would love to tell us about him!
-
I thought I'd always heard he was a good defender? In terms of the tools, they're there. We've seen him make some pretty impressive plays on balls that not many other shortstops would get to. However, I don't know if he has problems with his mechanics, reactions, noggin, or what, but he makes his share of boneheaded mistakes. The question is whether you're willing to accept those tradeoffs and hope he will continue to improve his defense.
-
Josh Hamilton, since Minky went directly from MN to BOS.
-
Then again, at the rate things are going, Lilly might go complete.
-
It'd be nice not to have to use Marmol today.
-
Better than the time Farnsworth's herpes infected the entire team! ...what? :-" Lol So someone I work with says she's heard Farnsy has several illegitimate kids. Pretty much every bartender and waitress in Wrigleyville has a Farnsworth story. He's like Mark Grace, only he gets with hotter chicks.
