    I was definitely surprised he was promoted, but thinking of it this way makes a lot of sense. Likely he's in AA all of next year and AAA to start 2016? Don't see why that would be likely. For the reasons quoted above. I'll answer another way. I do not expect him to spend something like 1.25/1.3 seasons at AA. This FO, no matter what they've said publicly in the past, has been pretty clearly aggressive about moving up the actual prospects when they show some extended success. I think that depends on how quickly (if at all) he adjusts. If he has smart as has been suggested, wouldn't assume it will take 1 1/2 full seasons. Time will tell, but I don't think a mid-2015 promotion to AAA would be a completely unreasonable expectation. Yeah, I was actually thinking the AA season was closer to ending than it actually is, but there's still about 40 games left. Still enough time for Almora to get close to 200 PAs this year and then 300 or so more next year before they bump him up to AAA mid-season.

    I was trying to make a similar point but unable to come up with a sentence that makes sense. The promotion was more about getting him out of the FSL than rewarding his success. I'd expect him to spend a lot of time in AA before the next move. Yeah, that seems like their thought process.

    Yeah, Butler's no star by any means, but being able to keep him is pretty important for this year's team. Without him, they'd have a pretty gaping hole on the wings. I don't even think Butler's that great, but the difference between him being your primary wing player over Tony Snell is a pretty big one. Offensively, he's very limited, but they need someone to defend the perimeter.

    I would absolutely make that trade.

    I know he was talked about a little bit recently, but what does Candelario have to do to become an interesting prospect again? I had high hopes for him coming into the year, but overall, he has been really lousy. In July, though, he's got a slash line of .288/.347/.576 with a 13.9% K rate, 8.3% BB rate, 4 home runs and 7 doubles. Granted, that's only a 17-game stretch, but he is showing some signs of life recently. How long does he have to put up similar numbers to get sent back up to Daytona?
  8. Bobson Dugnutt
    Wow, maybe Sharma was actually onto something when he shared that inside info on July 8 that Almora may have turned a corner.
  9. Bobson Dugnutt
    Haha, wow, .973 OPS against lefties.

    What this thread presupposes is...maybe it isn't.

    Stolen from Twitter: So Kirk is the only backup PG? That seems risky.

    "@RealGM 1m MT @nikolamirotic12: Very happy and excited to announce that next season I will be playing with the @chicagobulls . Today I fulfill a dream"
  13. Bobson Dugnutt
    This is true.

    hahahaha

    I think Melo/Rose/Noah would give LeBron/Love/Kyrie more of a fight than the 2011 Bulls gave the Heat, but in the end I definitely think the Cavs would be the better team. But I really don't see Melo coming to Chicago, in which case I see the Bulls and Pacers fighting for the second best record in the Central Division.

    Nah, I just don't wanna get into it. It's the same reason Kyle got scared off MR and didn't finish his argument. You can write 2 page long winded arguments, but you're not going to change another fan base's opinion. Especially a fan as dumb as you seem to me. It's pointless. I'll leave on this note though. You guys seem to like Hammel here, so even if you think Niese is as good. I am pretty sure you would want Hammel if he was 27 years old, a lefty, and was under team control for the next 5 years for extremely cheap (8 mil a year...compared to guys like Arroyo and Nolasco who are making 10-13 mil). Sounds pretty appealing to me. Scared off? I figured Kyle just realized that board is a waste of time when that one [expletive] started resorting to homophobic insults?
  17. Bobson Dugnutt
    How so? Niese is two years younger and their numbers are not that far off. 2014: Shark: 2.3 bWAR, 3.02 FIP, 141 ERA+ Niese: 1.7 bWAR, 3.62 FIP, 118 ERA+ Right, everyone knows Samardzija is having a career year. I can use the same logic to say Niese is better than Strasburg 2014: Niese: 1.7 bWAR, 3.62 FIP, 118 ERA+ Strasburg: 0.7 bWAR, 3.28 FRO, 107 ERA+ Samardzija is 2 years older and just had the best three months of his career. You can't just look at 2014. OK. This is Shark's third season as a starter. In those three seasons, he has had a better fWAR than Niese's career high three times.

    Pineyro might be damaged goods and Black and Johnson can't stop walking people. No, we're still pretty thin on pitching. But who cares because hitters4eva.

    i'm pretty sure brian cashman comprehends that If he thinks that he can top a package featuring a top 10 prospect and another who could be top 100 with his farm system, apparently not. He never said he could. In fact, he said the complete opposite: "I don't think [the Cubs] could've done a better deal than what they did in terms of that haul."

    Great, one less name that Javy has to remember.
  21. Bobson Dugnutt
    Woj is about as reliable a reporter as there is with regards to access to information and breaking news. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any sports writer that is better at that type of reporting than him.

    Almora HR
  23. Bobson Dugnutt
    If I'm Aiken I take it. Sure it's not 6.5M, but that isn't a huge discount for a guy whose future looks to be bound for Tommy John. Yeah, he definitely should take it but my UCLA fandom is pretty selfish so I'm rooting for him to get to campus (and somehow screw up the amount of remaining funds available for Jacob Nix so Nix also ends up at UCLA despite agreeing to financial terms already). I'd rather not give Houston another top 2 pick next year. Why? They keep [expletive] them up anyway.
  24. Bobson Dugnutt
    Ah, nevermind then.

    “@RobertMurrayMLB: Don't be shocked to see the #Yankees try to add another pitcher. One name they've checked in on: #Cubs RHP Edwin Jackson.”
