Free minor league scouting websites...
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Clem Fandango's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
I'm pretty sure Baseball Cube's ratings are 100% based on statistics. Baseball Intellect, Driveline Mechanics, and SaberScouting(although it hasn't been updated in forever) are all sites I've enjoyed reading, and free sites like Hardball Times, Rotoworld, and even BA will have free content on prospects from time to time. -
Cruz is better than Gregg, but the first rounder will probably be a better prospect than Ceda. Plus we aren't locked into a long term commitment to a reliever with Gregg.
-
Edmonds
-
Smart move for Kansas City. Cruz and Soria is a nice back end of the pen, and their first rounder is protected.
-
That's so lame that Thabeet can leave the game and let a guard shoot his free throws then come in a possession later.
-
This is a smart deal. Koskie's performance never declined, so if he's healthy and recovered from the head stuff, then he could be a nice asset. Plus, we're already 1 for 1 in helping concussion-addled players turn in good seasons.
-
I would really hope the Cubs don't consider Barney a roadblock for anybody. I'd honestly rather see Ryan Harvey playing there. I know you and Barney are best buds, but he's not so much worse than Samson that you'd ignore him entirely. Plus, you aren't going to have Samson skip a level with his age and past performance, so it's not really an issue in that case.
-
Minor League Splits has Samson as an above average defender as well(and Flaherty as a horrendous one).
-
I'm not rooting for Wieters to bust, I'm saying let's not assume it's impossible he won't bust, or be merely average to good. Your comparison between Hermida and Wieters(HS v. College draftee) misses the point, that Hermida was pretty ridiculously good in AA for a full season(at a younger age than Wieters), and yet 3 years later he's not done a ton at the MLB level. The comparison is meant to point out that Wieters 1)hasn't played above AA; 2) has only 200 ABs above A ball; 3) is not without precedent for not immediately killing the ball at the MLB level. To reiterate, I'm not hoping that Wieters' busts, and there's not much else he could've done last year to help himself. What I'm saying is that we shouldn't be guaranteeing him such an illustrious career as it seems has happened in this thread and others where he pops up. EDIT: Alex Gordon would've been a better example than Hermida.
-
Good to see Stevens with a nice outing.
-
Sorry, based on this thread I was assuming that everyone who completely dismantles AA pitching for one season is a sure-fire bet to do so for a decade at the MLB level.

Jeremy Hermida 4 MVP
-
What happens to Nate Samson then? Barney will be at Tennessee, and Flaherty at Daytona and Castro at Peoria leave him no place to play regularly. If they were going to move Flaherty, they might want to consider it now since Daytona doesn't have much in the way of a true 2B prospect lining up there.
-
It's not quite as amusing if you're losing, so I'll say no.
-
Crabtree may not be a physical freak, but nobody can stop him from catching the ball.
-
because with the way minny has been shooting, we should be up by 20. 1.1% worse than U of I? Only took you 2 tries Copernicus. You try counting up the angry Illini comments and then doing basic math. I doubt either of you know, but is this being streamed anywhere?

I was actually going with Sulley's "chet hits another strange shot". Apologies for the overly negative tally.
-
1st Half total Angry/negative comments from Illini fans: 14 Positive: 1(I think) Game: Illinois leads by 5

The Man Who Warned Baseball About Steroids
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Irrelevant Dude's topic in General Baseball Talk
What complete nonsense. -
Interesting to see Castro and Lake with Peoria.
-
Mizzou smoked Kansas State by 20 in stage 1 of Operation: Keep kansas from winning the Big 12. Mizzou's now avenged both their conference losses with victories of 20+ points. Stage 2 comes Sunday where we will hopefully lose by only about 15 or so in Lawrence.

BA's Pitching Prospects To Watch in the Spring

BA is a big fan of Hart as a reliever. http://cubsminors.wikispaces.com/HartK -
