I don't think a .060 IsoD in AAA at 21 is all that bad. In fact, while we've all lamented Pie not walking a ton, that .060 is pretty constant through his minor league career. Considering his age and levels, that's okay with me, and I don't think it's necessarily a red flag. Will a walk rate that low keep him from being the next Miggy Cabrera? Yes, but it's not going to keep him from being a good or even very good player. Heck, take Murton, who is widely heralded for his approach, was only slightly better IsoD wise(.071 to .059) at an older age for his levels.

Z-O-U! Hopefully we can avoid the Mizzou Meltdown that occurs during the non-conference games every season. And congrats to Chase Daniel for winning Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week in his first career start. Let's do it again this weekend. And we've reached the "TT gets freaking paranoid about every game for the rest of the season" stage. Haha. I honestly see no reason why we can't start 5-0. Of course, we have to avoid Pinkel coaching like a complete fool, and the team just not showing up. I will say, I am encouraged by the whole 2 of our next 4 opponents losing to 1-AA teams at home thing. OMC, you making the trek to CoMo?

Williams was toast. He had lost velocity and it showed in his performance. -
Replacing Barrett with Soto/Blanco would be suicide to our 2007 offense.

I'm not a big fan of disregarding prolonged periods of poor performance and selectively viewing a player's best numbers. We already knew his potential was huge. He showed us that last year, with a shortened season of success. But snapshots and splits are a dangerous way to rate a player. Sure, it's nice that he came on big late. But the fact is his 2006 rate stats weren't that impressive. I wish he did better. He is still an enormous question mark as a prospect, with a very wide range of possible career paths. At the same time, especially when it's at AAA and you are looking for development, you can't ignore the strides Pie made during the year. It's pretty clear that he's made an adjustment there and at this point is showing that he's better than an .800 OPS guy there.

From McKamey's prospect book: "Able to win despite lesser base skills, but improved ability to work hitters and incorporate entire arsenal into mix. Throws with easy velocity, getting good movement to FB and SL, and could gain more with maturity. Will need to repeat arm Speed on CU and has capability" FB ++++ (89-95 mph) SL +++ (77-80) CU ++

Wow, Longoria really hit the skids at AA.
-
Novoa hasn't even come close to what Farnsworth has done.
-
I put in a claim for him, so it shouldn't be that big a deal if you can't.
-
He was listed as Maurice Jones-Drew, I found him.

Ahhh, I was a little off :oops: . What the hell does that mean? http://kuathletics.cstv.com/trads/kan-rock-chalk-chant.html

Z taken out early due to back spasms (day-to-day)

He'd be a full fledged member of an obscure Korean cult within a year. -

Pie is 2 for 4 with a pair of singles as well. Neither player has a K. -

.....and that's why having a lame duck interim manager would've been okay. -
Z is also interchangable with "every pitcher in the history of time" in that post.

Best of luck with your future opportunities Ron. -
.......that sucks.

Count your blessings. No Bynum or Jones. Geo Soto is the only thing keeping this from being ideal.

Moore promoted to Iowa. (Edit- Promoted to Chicago)
Transmogrified Tiger replied to otis89's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
What about Moore at 2B? His bat would play very well there, and he'd probably be able to handle it better defensively than SS and maybe even 3B. -
Egads.

If I were back up at Madison, I'd probably check out at least one or two games! However, that is not the case. :( The closest MWL teams to me are Fort Wayne and Dayton, both of which are roughly four hours from here. Lansing is probably closer than that. Mapquest says 3 hours 40 minutes, which means it should take less than 3 and a half. -
I'd place the odds of Moore becoming a player of Ramirez's caliber slightly above the odds of President Bush being re-elected. That doesn't mean he can't become a decent offensive 3B though.
