Yeah I was dreading this when they said he was doing it, and maybe this is partially because I'm a soccer dummy so others might find him obvious, but I'm enjoying him.
-
Silly pricing ($100+ face to get in the stadium) + less than a week's notice + weeknight
-
So it's Besler at left back and Fab to right back, otherwise no lineup changes. I think I like that better than Orozco at RB.
-
I'd assume that Montero is going to be starting more like 2-3 games out of 5, at least until Contreras can prove he's not going to flop offensively or defensively. He's already back, no? He is, but is he out of options? Yes, Szczur is out of options.
-
Yes, the winners of Mexico/Chile and Colombia/Peru play in Chicago.
-
It looks like he was onside for the cross and the deflection went off a Welsh head? I'm only just seeing the highlight now.
-
I think he'd want Torres. Doolittle is very good, cheap, and has 4 years of control. There's plenty of teams in need and its extremely early to make a deal. So my guess is it'd take giving him a SS to help make up for losing Addy, to get him now. And likely a Zagunis or Vogelbach to go with him. I know that sounds high, but he's not going to come cheap at all. I think that'll be a tough sell, I have a hard time seeing anyone being willing to give up that type of upside. What would make more sense to me, given the player and Beane's history, is more quantity of a slightly lesser player. So instead of 2-3 guys in the McKinney/Candelario/Zagunis/Underwood/Johnson/Caratini range, it'd take 3-4 to move quickly to nab him.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 6-15-16

Zastryzny had no K's and walked 5 in 5 innings, yet somehow only gave up 3 runs in Colorado Springs. That is borderline miraculous. In happier Iowa pitching news, Spencer Patton had his K/BB ratio cross 5 today, 41/9 in 24 IP. -
I am all in on Doolittle over Miller. Even if he doesn't get back to peak form he's death to LH hitters, and with that hope that he can regain closer-level dominance and a favorable contract(plus enough injury history to keep the return from being too exorbitant), he's a great target as long as they don't see him as an extreme health risk.
-
He's got a lot of problems right now. On April 26th he had his best outing of the season, 2 perfect innings with 3 K. Since then: 15.2 IP, 15 H, 8 K, 11 BB, 4 HR. In May his control deserted him and he had some bad outings punctuated by home runs. In June he's stopped missing bats too, 1 K in his last 32 batters faced.
-
I can't agree that Warren has been good, and I wouldn't argue if someone pointed to Cahill and Wood's peripherals, but in spirit I'm with you. The Cubs have one of the best relievers in the game at closer and a very good setup man. Neither Cahill, Wood, nor Warren has been as good as they were last year so the middle innings aren't quite as rock solid, but it's still quite good. By giving up 3 runs in 4+ IP today, they upped their ERA for the month to 3.66, 11th in MLB/5th in the NL.
-
another run on 1 hit, it's becoming suspicious at this point
-
lol Argue called strike 3 in one at bat, gesture wildly on a called strike 3 the next at bat, get incredulous that you got tossed good stuff
-
Warren
-
the between pitch music irritates me a lot more than it should
-
150% of the Nationals runs in this series have come on innings that have 1 hit
-
Harper done got himself a Votto strike zone
-
thanks for waiting until after giving up the lead to bring in Kelley, definitely wouldn't have wanted the guy with cartoonishly good numbers and no platoon split facing Bryant and Rizzo instead of the ghost of Matt Belisle and Oliver Perez.
-
Chess Checkers
-
This is why Dusty used Solis for 2 innings, so he could mix and match middle relievers in the 9th inning of a 1 run game delightful
-
lol curtain call, awesome
-
lol Zimmerman was half way to second when he caught that
-
Hammel's on deck
-
Almora hits the straightest line drives
