    Samardzija since he had a brief bullpen stint: 5 Starts, 27.1 IP, 2.66 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, 16/10 K/BB The K's are a bit low, but other than that it's pretty stellar.

    woo hoo i'm on record as being 100% behind this signing. (i checked because i legitimately didn't remember) I didn't remember either, check this ringing endorsement:

    I don't get it. Why would the Mods replace my original post with Cubbiebum's? Doesn't make any sense. The threads were merged, CubbieBum's came earlier so it's posts are first. Here's your post: viewtopic.php?p=1827372#p1827372

    Casey Coleman makes his Boise debut, working a hitless inning, walking and K'ing 1. And a single with another walk and K for Coleman in a scoreless second inning of work.

    David Macias is leading off in CF for Boise, and Flaherty is DHing as well.

    was just going to post this. let's not go overboard about his hitting, since he hasn't shown the ability to hit this well at other levels, but he's also fairly young for AA ball and is holding his own at that level. since catchers' bats develop late, it's certainly not out of the question that he could develop into a good enough hitter to start regularly at the big league level. it's looking like a pretty good bet that the combo of a decent bat with good defense can make him a solid backup. I wasn't trying to imply that Castillo has turned some Sotoian corner. His defense and age alone made him a Top 30 prospect, and if he starts taking walks like this, hitting for average like this, or hitting for power like this, he'll be quite valuable.

    Wellington Castillo, the best prospect no one talks about, has a HR for Tennessee. In about 50 PA's at AA, the 21 year old is hitting .333/.396/.535/.931.

    Attention Eric Patterson: foul balls from right handed hitters will tail back toward you. Also, you have sunglasses on your head.

    Pathetic part is that's down about 100 points from where it was only a week or so ago. That's the good part. Ludwick is hitting .254/.313/.493/.805 in June and .231/.294/.429/.723 the last 4 weeks.
  11. Transmogrified Tiger
    The career ERA+ of infinity is pretty impressive.
  12. Transmogrified Tiger
    They also have a ton of starters that are pitching well, and a really bad offense. Trading Harden wouldn't give them a true ace, but they're longshots to make the playoffs anyway without another bat or two.

    AH! Its Rothschild's fault. I just knew it couldn't be the beloved wunderkind Hill. How about maybe the previous year and a half were more of an aberration and the league figured him out? One good pitch, one average pitch and he wasn't able to be aggressive anymore. The league didn't figure him out, he was walking everyone because Rothschild changed his mechanics. MLB hitters were hitting .191 with a .683 OPS off him when he was sent down. Lots of assumptions going on here. Did Hill's arm slot change because Rothschild changed his mechanics? Or did Rothschild see his arm slot changed at the beginning of ST, so he tried to change his mechanics to get his arm back in the right slot? I'm certainly not going to give LR a free pass on it, but I'm not going to put the blame squarely on his shoulders quite yet either, because I don't know which is the true case. They said they changed it so Hill would be quicker to the plate, it wasn't a response to a new problem.

    Vitters singled in his last AB. .313/.353/.438
  16. Transmogrified Tiger
    Good to see some XBH from Vitters. Up to the minute line: .286/.333/.429
  17. Transmogrified Tiger
    They seemed to be more upset that a) Thome didn't bunt, or b) Ozuna didn't hit instead of Thome and bunt. And I'm not kidding.
  18. Transmogrified Tiger
    Dusty broke Harang with his idiotic extra inning shenanigans. Until he shows that he's not screwed up physically from that, I'd stay far away.
  19. Transmogrified Tiger
    Colvin has a double and a walk in 3 plate appearances thus far. Not a good outing for Russell: 4.2 IP, 5 R(4 ER), 5 H, 0/3 K/BB, 2 HR, and a fielding error. Marquez Smith with a double for Peoria, although he has left the game(injury?). Chen has been strong through 6 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, 6/0 K/BB, 0 HR.

    diaf Rothschild
  21. Transmogrified Tiger
    Awful nice of Dotel to switch hands so Murton had a chance to get a hit.
  22. Transmogrified Tiger
    Gameday had that pitch almost at the letters.
  23. Transmogrified Tiger
    Very nice bounce back inning for Ted. Good to see he's still on pace to give us 6+ IP.
  24. Transmogrified Tiger
    As good as Harden is, he's still only thrown 200 IP the last 3 seasons combined. I'd say either dropping Ceda or swapping Pie for Colvin would be pretty good value for him.
  25. Transmogrified Tiger
    Beane and Hendry have made good trading partners in the past, both have made deals that turned out better for one(Barrett/Miller) or the other(Kendall/Blevins). Personally, I'd love Harden, although his injury history is long enough that his price should be less than Hill+Pie+Ceda.
