  1. But people are saying that Soler fell because of injuries therefore Buxton has to fall because of injuries. It's a huge leap. yeah, but wrist injuries seem way more worrisome than the injuries soler has had (not that they are to be taken lightly either) But Soler's injuries have proven to be a repetitive issue and because of that, three years into his pro career he hasn't amassed a season's worth of PA. Buxton's injury has not prevented him from already having proven himself over more than 700 PA by age 20. Unless you are assuming his injury has significantly altered his future and offset what he has done, there is no real reason to knock him down, regardless of how they view Soler's situation. It is completely different. But 680 of these PAs occurred before he injured his wrist.
  2. it was actually on 5/30: https://twitter.com/professorparks/status/472389284574810113
  3. Speaking of Tennessee, what's the story on Pineyro? I can't remember what his injury was.
  4. If Soler isn't up for at least 2.5 more years, something has gone very wrong.
  5. Sickels' post-Garza trade 2011 Cubs prospect list included Trey McNutt, Chris Carpenter, and Jaye Chapman in the top 5. wtf i don't even remember this guy i think he's got the wrong guy. chapman came in the maholm trade that brought us vizcaino ah, Jay Jackson I'm guessing?

  7. Well for one thing, having a gaudy list of hitting prospects is great, but not all of them are going to turn into good major league players. And among the ones that do, most aren't going to be real plus players for at least a year or two, maybe more. I don't think it's a good idea to pin all your hopes on these guys panning out, not to mention giving them no veteran protection. Stockpiling is smart - it gives you options when the can't-miss prospects miss. But some of them will miss. This. I kind of want to make sure we hit on enough prospects out of the Bryant-Russell-Baez-Shwarber-Alcantara-Soler-McKinney-Almora group before we start shipping any of them or Castro out. I don't know, maybe that's a tad conservative, but I'd hate to stockpile all this talent just to guess wrong on which of them are actually going to pan out. I'd like to let these guys develop for at least another year (i.e. next trade deadline) before we start spinning them off.
  8. took a crack at a top 20 but i couldn't decide on 19 & 20. i guess the system isn't really all that deep after all. Bryant Russell Baez Alcantara Schwarber Soler McKinney Almora Tseng Jiminez Torres Edwards Hendricks Johnson Vogelbach Bruno Rivero Vizcaiano
  9. In his analysis, Law said that McKinney is a "pure left fielder," but he has played 105 games in CF, 7 in RF, and 1 in LF.
  10. Not only that, unless I'm missing someone, Rizzo is second james russell I knew I'd miss someone. Still that's nuts. Barney?
  11. He turned down a 5-year $44mm offer from the Pacers. I don't think I would want the Bulls to beat that. Although I'm sure some other team will.
  12. Is there media at these things? Cause otherwise, "Bulls FO member thinks their pitch went really well" doesn't really mean much. Oh, of course it's completely meaningless. I'm not sure any of the players or front office personnel that were reportedly at the dinner would have been texting Alex Kennedy status updates between courses or whatever. I just get a kick out of all this stuff. At any rate, KC Johnson has contradicted this Kennedy dude multiple times today, so all this stuff is basically worthless. Kennedy tweeted that Rose went through a full workout in front of Melo to convince him that he was healthy. Johnson said that it was a scheduled rehab session well before Carmelo arrived. Kennedy also said that Rose was in attendance for the dinner, while Johnson said that he only joined the United Center portion of the meeting. Free agency is fun.
  13. “@AlexKennedyNBA: Source who's at dinner with Carmelo Anthony, Joakim Noah, Derrick Rose, Tom Thibodeau and others said that Bulls' pitch is "going great."” Cool.
  14. Well, cross Arron Afflalo off the list as a plan B.
  15. LeBron has acted like an idiot in the past, but I've rooted for far bigger idiots with far less talent. If the Bulls had an opportunity to sign him, I wouldn't even think twice about it.
  16. Oh man. I'm going to try my best to take all of the rumors with a grain of salt until the dust settles, but damn it, those few days in 2010 where we thought we had a chance of landing both James and Wade were fun as hell.
  17. When he hits the ball, he tends to hit it really hard. Contact is the problem. Combination of being too passive early in the count and too aggressive deep in the count, and bad pitch recognition (IMO). It doesn't look promising. That's not even true. He has an anemic LD%. If you got bonus points for far HRs he might have value as a 25th guy Wow. Wasn't he the prize in the Garza trade ? Nah, CJ Edwards was. Olt was pretty much a throw in.
  18. get the hell out of here with those obscure stats
  19. Fair enough. I just miss stupidly awesome Javy. I hope that guy shows back up soon.
