  1. I hate how so many people just have no clue what constitutes a quality ace/#2/#3/etc. There were 14 pitchers in all of baseball last year that threw 200 innings and had 200 strikeouts. Outside of James Shields, every one of them had a WAR over 4, and outside of Shields and Hamels, every one had a WAR of at least 5. There is no way anyone should be expecting Shark to put up those numbers, but if he does, then he's either not our #3 for 2016, or he's the best #3 in a long time. He did it in 2013 & 2014. He would have done it in 2012 as well if he hadn't been on an innings limit where he was shut down after September 8.
  2. Illinois is down double digits to Chicago State. It's going to be a long year.
  3. Heyward doesn't strike out that much.
  4. They are probably not that good, but both teams they lost two are tourney quality teams and the Providence game was on the road. Yep. They've been dealing with some injuries too. No Nunn yet, Black missed the first game, Tate is out, Abrams is out for the year, so they've been playing a bit short-handed.
  5. What's the outlook on Martinez for next year? Is his shoulder injury expected to carry over into next season at all?
  6. Yeah, it's probably a combination of a lot of top prospects moving up to the majors in 2015, and Law just being particularly high on the Cubs system. I'd be surprised if the Cubs were consistently this high across publications, but given how high Law seems to have been on some of the Cubs prospects recently (Martinez and Contreras come to mind), I'm not too surprised at the score. The Astros, Dodgers, Rangers, Phillies, Braves & Pirates scored just below the Cubs.
  7. I know there's been some discussion around here in the last week or two about where the Cubs farm system would rank this offseason, so I thought it worth mentioning that only the Red Sox received a higher minors grade than the Cubs. Of course, that's just one guy's ranking, but it appears that Law is still very very high on the system even after all the graduations.
  8. This is based on what? Your eye test? Meanwhile, back in the real world, Corey Black has been chosen for the AZL All-Star Game. Keep your day job, ace. He has 6 innings and the scouting reports haven't been favorable. But since you want to live in the real world, the 7.11 ERA he has in the AFL is awfully snazzy. hahahahaha.
  9. LOL Zeke DeVoss.
  10. Where is the celebrity stuff coming from? I remember the possibility being thrown out there a really long time ago, and then it was tabled. (I believe there was a rumor of Bill Murray being approached.) Has there been more on this recently?
  11. Most every name mentioned in this thread(and there's been a number of them mentioned) have public rumors that they might be traded. This isn't a bunch of random 'well what if the Dodgers decided to trade Kershaw?' speculation. I know, that's all I'm asking. Just seems odd that cost-controlled, young pitching (which, not long ago, was a precious commodity) is something that is now being shopped around by multiple teams It happens every offseason, really. Off the top of my head, Heaney, Skaggs, Bauer, Cashner, Latos, Gio Gonzalez, & Shelby Miller were moved in offseason deals at young ages with multiple years of control left on their deals. I'm sure there's other examples I'm forgetting, but it's not really uncommon for a few of these guys to be included in deals every offseason, for various reasons.
  12. Does EJM factor into these lists, or no since he hasn't actually played professional ball in the US yet? The variation on him is huge, so he won't even come close to sniffing some lists, but given Law's comments on him, I'd have to believe he'd be on his list and maybe a couple others.
  13. Man, I really really hope they stay far away from Lackey.
  14. just read this whole thread. i want the feeling of today to last forever! pretty sure this is the best sports night of my life (until later this month). i love this team and i love this site. i don't post much, but i love reading all the posts.
  15. THAT'S the place i was thinking about god now i have to go My buddy that I watched the game with today wound up at Stanley's and ran into McLeod there. Sent me a pic a little bit ago. So I'm guessing there's others there.

  17. I also can't believe there were actually 4 times he didn't get a quality start. Seems impossible.
  18. hahahahahahah. can i change my username to Ding Dong Johnson?
  19. No kidding. Wow. Law said he had the talent to be a potential 1.1 pick in 2016. Yeah, I was pleased with this signing as is, but his piece added a new element of excitement for me. Pretty nice that, in advance of a draft where the Cubs will be picking late in the first or not at all, they've already added a potential impact talent to the system.
  20. Well this is a pleasant surprise. FWIW, I know the opinions on Martinez have varied a bit across publications, but Law is very high on EJM in his writeup of the signing.
