    The Cubs actually have drafted a couple of players from Lamar in the past few years. Micah Hoffpauir is the first one that comes to mind.

    Anyone want to take odds on when the Cubs take their next HS player?

    More fun with Virginia. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
  4. Outshined_One
    Someone must have swapped draft boards with the Atlanta Falcons.

    I love hearing about hitters who take the ball other way and make an effort to do so. Way too many guys get pull-happy (JOCK) and it only ends up hurting them in the end.

    There's the Virginia pick. He'll fit right in. Yay.

    Best name ever, by the way. Rusty Kuntz would like to have a word with you.
  8. Outshined_One
    Really???? I don't see why. He should be ready for Boise this season and peoria next. It all depends, as always. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a look late in the season at Boise, though.

    The fun thing is, this system is littered with crappy hitting defensive-minded shortstops in the making. Barney will fit right in!
  10. Outshined_One
    Didn't Q hate this guy? I seem to recall him talking about Barney having slow feet and not good reactions. Or maybe I'm confusing him with someone else...

    he was gone a long time ago. suppy pick Good for him, then. Unless someone in the NL Central picked him. Then I hope he's selling used cars in three years. :D
  12. Outshined_One
    Is Roemer still out there? I like him.
  13. Outshined_One
    They haven't had their typical Virginia pick yet. I figure there'll be at least one, considering it's a bit of a tradition thanks to their uber-area scout (Bill Swoope, I believe?).

    Todd Walker only dreams of being that fast. :) I focused on coolhandluke's report rather than Ping's. :D
  15. Outshined_One
    Sounds like a guy who should move quickly through the system. He also sounds vaguely like Todd Walker.

    hee hee hee I can dig this draft so far. The system needed a shot in the arm with position players in the absolute worst way possible. After Colvin, the position players the Cubs have in A ball and below don't exactly inspire confidence in me. Maybe Rundle, Andersen, Baez, or someone like that will destroy the ball at Boise, but right now, I'm not all too giddy about the hitting prospects this team has down in Daytona and below. I think Andersen will shoot up the rankings after Boise this season, jmo. I liked him as a sleeper before you did, so :P

    Link In short: -Fastball-slider-changeup pitcher. -Works in the low to mid 90s with his fastball, has touched 99. -Slider is a plus pitch. -Changeup is a work in progress, but could become a plus pitch. -A bit on the short side (6'1/6'2) and needs to fill out a little bit. He's probably the second best HS RHP behind Porcello.

    Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

    I can live with that.

    Hey, have some faith, this is Wilken we're talking about here!
  23. Outshined_One
    Two hours to go!!!! ...wait a second, it's 4 AM there. Boooooooooooooooooooooo!

    Pagan's 4 for his last 20 over his last ten games. He still has a .364 BABIP in spite of his recent slump. While I think he's a decent 5th OF, I don't think his recent success will last much longer.
  25. Outshined_One
    I'd say that his willingness to work showed that he was trying his hardest to adjust. The guy knew he had some serious flaws at the plate and I don't think a guy like him would simply write them off. Frankly, I think part of what doomed him was some terrible coaching. Baker admitting he taught Patterson to swing at face-high fastballs during an Orioles game earlier this year nearly made me lose my lunch. However, the other part that doomed him was an inability to adjust, rather than an unwillingness to do so. Something never clicked for him when it came to plate discipline.
