    And now Ramon Ortiz will dominate the rest of the game.

    Ryan Zimmerman is a younger Scott Rolen, for those of you wondering.
  6. Outshined_One
    Throwing across his body, but his release point is consistent.
  7. Outshined_One
    I can and will boo our Cubs, sir.

    Marlon Anderson slipped coming out of the box, so it's more than just the track.
  9. Outshined_One
    Way to bunt, Lucky.
  10. Outshined_One
    If he's at the game, I also know what he looks like! Wood looks nasty.
  11. Outshined_One
    So...why the heck is Soriano leading off for the Nats?
  12. Outshined_One
    I know Mark_R's face!
  13. Outshined_One
    So, can we play "Spot the NSBB Crew"?
  14. Outshined_One
    St. Ignatius band? hahahahaha...that brings back memories. I see Father Paulson!
  15. Outshined_One
    Don't some metrics consider Womack to be one of the worst hitters in baseball over the past decade or so? But it's okay since he's SCRAPPY! We need some one who can bunt Pierre over!!!!!!!

    Todd Jones's continued resurgence (he was with FLA last season) and Curtis Granderson & Chris Shelton seeing more consistent playing time has definitely helped matters, as well. Looks like my prediction of Verlander winning AL ROY was a good one. 8)

    I repeat:

    Acquired from the Braves in the Todd Hollandsworth deal last season, along with Angelo Burrows. Low 90s fastball, decent change, and a slider that needs to be tightened up. Drafted in the 13th round of the 2004 draft out of an Indiana HS. There isn't a whole lot of info on him out of that draft in terms of projection, makeup, or anything else along those lines.
  19. Outshined_One
    6 IP, 95 pitches, 4 H, 2 ER, 6 Ks, 4 BBs, and a no decision.
  20. Outshined_One
    .364/.453/.418/.871 in just over 60 PA's at Peoria Not to mention he apparently is quite good defensively. Opposing teams praised his quick arm and good instincts behind the dish last season down in Boise. I find this rather intriguing considering the fact that Reed's ability to stick behind home plate was the big question when he was drafted, whereas most people expected his bat to come around. His power is still a bit lacking, but he makes good contact, has nice patience, and can even steal a few bases (5 so far on the season).

    Correct, unless something has changed since the beginning of the season. Wouldn't surprise me. I remembered Kennedy and Donald because they were somewhat well-known in the 2003 draft. John Manuel mentioned LaPorta as a Boras client in a recent chat. ASU OF Colin Curtis is another Boras client. I haven't been able to find any of his HS clients for this year, though.
  23. Outshined_One
    We had a huge system pass through here heading southeast. It's currently sunny and nice here.
  24. Outshined_One
    Rowell and Kershaw have been skyrocketing up the charts lately. Neither would be a bad pick, although in Kershaw's case, guys committed to Texas are typically hard to pry away. From my memory, the college Boras advised guys this year are Luke Hochevar, Matt LaPorta, Ian Kennedy, and Jason Donald. Hochevar had that whole ugly incident with the Dodgers. LaPorta has struggled, but is a heck of a power hitter. Kennedy's velocity dropped from 89-91 to 86-88 this year. Donald isn't a name I've heard a lot. I'm unsure who in HS has him. As odd as it sounds, the Cubs picked a pretty good year not to have any picks between the rounds 2-4. Virginia is always a good place to keep an eye on, by the way. The Cubs have a terrific scout in the area (Billy Swoope) who was behind such picks as Sean Marshall, Jason Dubois, Scott Taylor, Justin Jones, and Brendan Harris, among others. That's a pretty nice list, all things considered. This year's crop includes: RHP Jeremy Jeffress (HS) 2B Scott Sizemore (VCU) RHP Harold Mozingo (VCU) Once BA releases their annual area scouting reports, there should be more to add to that list.

    Montanez's numbers against lefties are pretty good, too: .389/.488/.417/.905 He has more power, but less patience, against RHPs, though.
