Sucks for Dopirak. He seemed like a nice guy. -
The Matt Kemp one is also funny.

A little help from the minor league experts here
Outshined_One replied to NomarSammy's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Going down the list according to his criteria... 1) Jay Bruce 2) Colby Rasmus 3) Cameron Maybin 4) Andrew McCutchen 5) Fernando Martinez 6) Matt LaPorta 7) Jordan Schafer 8) Chris Marrero 9) Jason Heyward 10) Andy LaRoche 11) Chase Headley 12) Angel Villalona 13) Ian Stewart 14) Josh Vitters 15) Joey Votto 16) Geovany Soto 17) Matt Antonelli 18) JR Towles 19) Chin-Lung Hu 20) Neil Walker 21) Brandon Jones 22) Dexter Fowler 23) Tyler Colvin 24) Adrian Cardenas 25) Bryan Anderson 26) Steve Pearce 27) Gorkys Hernandez 28) Hector Gomez 29) Drew Stubbs Some general comments... -Be very wary of selecting Joey Votto and Jay Bruce, given Dusty Baker being at the helm. -Guys I really like in terms of future 5x5 fantasy value: Jay Bruce (if he gets enough playing time), Colby Rasmus, Cameron Maybin, Jason Heyward, Ian Stewart, Geovany Soto, Matt Antonelli, and Steve Pearce -Guys I'm leery about: Jordan Schafer, Tyler Colvin, Matt LaPorta (where the hell will he play if Braun is in LF?), Drew Stubbs, Andrew McCutchen (where's the power?), Dexter Fowler (ditto), and Chin-Lung Hu. -
Marquis for Aybar plz.

It's rainy outside. Can I keep posting in here?

Some fun suggestions "Through the Fire and Flames" - Dragon Force "Bloodtrocuted" by Dethklok "Run to the Hills" by Iron Maiden "Intervention" or "Wake Up" by Arcade Fire "Real American" (The Hulk Hogan theme song) "End of All Hope" by Nightwish Actually, looking at that list, Kerry Wood would become my all-time favorite baseball player if he came out to Real American. I'd probably go nuts if I was at Wrigley and heard that music blast over the loud speakers.

I liked Wells as a potential middle reliever down the line. We'll see if he can stick in Toronto.
-
Is he posting from a mental ward? Yeesh.

Isn't that the definition of being a Cubs fan?

I lol'd This is Sparta This was Sparta.

Updated, looks like the AP got it wrong: Dang. :(
-
It's unclear whether this report is incorrect or whether the initial announcement was incorrect. If this report is correct, then wow.
-
The insanity of the 49ers/Briggs situation deepens! Link
-
Now we can trade Murton for pennies on the dollar! Hooray!

I never was a fan of "exploding offers" in these kinds of situations. The problem with a "take it or leave it by X date" approach in Hendry's case is that the Orioles likely have not devoted much time to scouting and researching the players he is offering in the deal. That sort of a process takes a lot of time and effort on the Orioles' behalf, since they need to now re-focus resources that have likely already been allocated elsewhere so that they can do their homework. If a guy gives me an exploding offer on something, I'm automatically suspicious of it. It's like the guy is trying to pull a fast one on me by trying to catch me off-guard. I need some time to make sure the offer doesn't blow up in my face when I take it, you know?

TCR Gives Update on Minor League Rosters
Outshined_One replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Must...resist...bad joke... -
Aw, I was hoping Hoffpauir would make the team as a 1B/OF reserve. Oh well.
-
Well, hopefully this will put an end to those annoying Byrd rumors.
-
Considering Brian Roberts is my father, this comes as little surprise to me.
-
Knowing the Cardinals, they'd trade Colby Rasmus, Chris Perez, and Adam Ottavino for him.
-
Honestly, I think Wisconsin or MSU will be in the Final Four at the rate things are going. They're two of the best-coached teams in the nation and have enough talent and firepower to match up with teams like Kansas, Memphis, Davidson, and Texas. You have to admit, they've been impressive.
