    Pete Alonso

    Tim replied to JD94's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    I don't think Alonso ages particularly well. He's already almost unplayable at 1B. I'm not interested in a long-term investment there, so I wouldn't be willing to give up major pieces to acquire him.

    Today's stats definitely count for Canario. 4/5, 2 2B, 2 HR

    100 Stuff+ is an average MLB pitcher (by definition). Facing the majority of pitchers in MLB, bat speed is more than twice as important as bat to ball. By the time that you reach 200 stuff+ where bat to ball is nearly as important, you're talking about just a handful of pitchers in MLB. Don't get me wrong. Canario still has a lot of development to do. But that elite bat speed is a much more important factor for success than the swing and miss.

    Not earned.

    I was going to have Canario at #2 in the system last fall before he got hurt. Enough other guys have emerged that I don't think I can put him back that high yet, but he's a damn good prospect. I'd imagine he's a great candidate for the AFL to get some extra AB this year.

    It would be even more embarrassing to play second fiddle to the braves down there.

    Another factor with Wicks is mentioned in the article. He's still in the midst of honing his stuff at AAA. Even just optimizing things for this season, he's not going to be reliable in the short term as he's still adjusting to the AAA level. And even if he succeeds in the short term, he doesn't have enough innings left to fill in as a starter for the rest of the year (as OO just pointed out, he's already past his career high in IP). I'd give Smyly at least this turn to see if he can get back on track and give Wicks another turn or two in AAA to stabilize things while controlling his innings there.

    So he's a good fit for me, then!

    Len is still my favorite announcer, but Boog is pretty good when he's paired with a competent partner. JD is elite, IMO. But I'm disappointed by how little we get those two in the booth on their own. Sutcliffe & Girardi are both horrible and not getting any better. If we can't have JD in the booth full-time, can we get Glanville to be the guy that subs in? I much prefer him over the other guys.

    They should trade Soto to us.
  13. Tim
    uh...good call
  14. Tim
    I like it just to see the reaction of Boston fans.
  15. Tim
    The 40 innings alone approaches his career high in IP, which he's already past on the season. Wicks is a lot more likely

    Some awesome stuff collected by Brett over at BN this morning.
  17. Tim
    I'm really looking forward to him playing at South Bend next year as a 19 year old.
  18. Tim
    Celebration you say?
  19. Tim
    Looks good in both light and dark mode on my pc

    With Stroman going down for longer, it would be really helpful if Wicks started dominating.
  21. Tim
    Good call on the first part!
  22. Tim
    Had I realized Canario's numbers in August looked like this, I would have ranked him higher.
  23. Tim
    That's easy power for a guy that size
  24. Tim
    Would have been nice to have Jeimer bat last inning with a runner on 2nd
  25. Tim
    Oops - I had given up understanding by that point
