    Here's the thing. In the offseason, everyone was talking about Prior for Tejada (and then later guys like Bedard, Cabrera, Cedeno, and so on were thrown into the mix). This was back when we thought Prior was going to come into the season fully healthy and ready to go. Unfortunately, since then, he's only hurt his value. His upside is huge, but so is Rick Ankiel's. That's not to say Prior is another Ankiel, but a guy's ceiling can only make his value go so far. Cedeno has also hurt his value, although as a rookie, he will get a free pass for now as he adjusts. Dempster is still a solid bullpen guy, but he's not at the same level as some of the elite closers over the past few years (Gagne, Rivera, etc). I simply have a hard time imagining why the Orioles would want to take that package in exchange for Tejada and Markakis. Tejada is still one of the best shortstops in all of base and is having a good year at the plate. Markakis has been their top prospect over the past two years. With regards to BA's Top 100 Prospects list, he was #90 in 2004, #65 in 2005, and #21 in 2006. Yes, they have had a bad farm system in recent history. That takes nothing away from the fact that he is one of the top young guys in baseball. Markakis is young, cheap, talented, and will eventually find his power stroke. In other words, it's going to take a lot to pry him away from the Orioles.

    Can it Scott, if this team had been playing as advertised in the offseason, we wouldn't be in this position right now. But unfortunately, you and your buddies have been playing piss-poor baseball, injuries or not. If you want the speculation to stop, step up and win. Don't whine about the media causing a distraction.

    Fuld came back yesterday. Most of the best hitters are too old for the league. It's not a good year for hitters in the FSL.
  5. Outshined_One
    What a double play!
  6. Outshined_One
    The Holli Man had a rough start and only lasted 2.2 IP. Vero Beach is currently up 6-0 in the 4th.
  7. Outshined_One
    You're up in the draft, chico.
  8. Outshined_One
    Agreed. I think getting Zito or Schmidt is necessary not because this team needs an ace, but because this team needs a guy who can go out and give the Cubs 180+ innings along with good numbers. I'm worried about Schmidthead's overuse and recent injuries, but getting him at a good price would be most welcome.

    This year should prove to Cubs fans the folly of relying so heavily on pitching prospects who are good, but not can't miss ace guys. A lot of these guys have shown flashes and potential, but none of them have been ready to step up and contribute positively and consistently. As things stand right now, Prior and Zambrano are the only guys guaranteed to be in the rotation next season. I can't see this team re-signing Wood for the rotation, nor do I think Maddux will return. Lord help us all if Glendon is given another shot. That leaves three spots open. If Prior is traded, there will be four spots to fill. I don't think it would be wise to come into the season with at least two spots filled by rookie/young pitchers who are either unproven commodities (Gallagher, Wells) or who have only shown flashes at this point (Hill, Marshall, Marmol). That's a really dangerous proposition.

    This game has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that Steve Philips has no right being GM ever again. Holy crap has he spouted some mindless and stupid things about prospects and their development.
  11. Outshined_One
    Grounds out to the pitcher (nice grab) for the third out.
  12. Outshined_One
    EPatt at the plate.

    You can tell they're reading directly from Baseball America.

    Man, ESPN is just tormenting Red Sox fans today.
  15. Outshined_One
    Hughes is a year away. Assuming health, he'll pitch many more innings this season than he has in his professional career. With a guy like him (especially considering his injury history), the Yankees should take it easy with him. They can more easily monitor his pitch counts in the minors. If he gets called up, they'll be tempted to overuse him and tax his arm for a pennant run. Holy crap Martinez is a whale.
  16. Outshined_One
    I don't expect anything resembling quality from ESPN announcers. One Yankees prospect nearly takes the other's head off.
  17. Outshined_One
    Kottaras with a nice HR, 7-4 US leads.
  18. Outshined_One
    I find it hilarious that Dusty didn't name Bynum and Pagan as "kids", considering their experience in the majors.
  19. Outshined_One
    Markakis is the best position prospect the Orioles have had in years. You're trashing Cedeno and he'd clearly be a step down from Tejada. Prior hasn't put together a non-freak injury season since 2003. Dempster is good, but not nearly good enough to tie together that package. Again, why the heck would the Orioles do that trade?
  20. Outshined_One
    That was pretty much akin to Barrett punching out AJP, imo. Italy had it coming, it was highly inappropriate, and incredibly hilarious. What a way to go out. Wow.
  21. Outshined_One
    It's the Cubs.

    The Daily is pumping for a LA team to Z! Yellow journalism at its finest. Of course if the Dodgers or Angels want to give the Cubs their top 5 prospects Hendry ought to think about it. If those 5 are overall top 50 guys that is. Chad Billingsley, Matt Kemp, Scott Elbert, and Joel Guzman would be a nice starting point.
