    He threw a bunch, but they all missed by quite a margin. He basically had one pitch that inning.
  2. CaliforniaRaisin
    Yup.
  3. CaliforniaRaisin
    Meh.

    Fred, that doesn't make sense. When do you know when Walker breaks out of it? I'd play the best player over the season unless Neifi's really hot for a good stretch of time (.313/.294/.563 in 16 ABs isn't enough ABs for me).
  5. CaliforniaRaisin
    Pie, Marshall, Gallagher, Marmol and Pawelek might do it. I don't think the Cubs have the system to acquire Cabrerra.

    Actually, there are stories out there about how his parents freaked out about how much he was throwing at the young age of 13 and took over his workout and training regimen. So, his mom (and dad) might have saved him. :P

    But still, Remlinger has always done better against righties than lefties.
  8. CaliforniaRaisin
    Ugh.
  9. CaliforniaRaisin
    Gah, come on Australia.

    Thanks for the link, Quakers. Great to see Boise will be televising their home games again.

    Probable Starters: Iowa: RHP Jerome Williams (2-3, 4.43 ERA, 40.1 IP, 20/15, 1.70 WHIP) vs. LHP Jason Vargas (2-2, 5.08 ERA) Peoria: RHP Todd Blackford (6-2, 4.00 ERA, 72 IP, 31/35, 1.47 WHIP) @ RHP Jeff Gray (2-5, 6.02 ERA) Chatanooga: RHP Josh Hall (2-1, 3.77 ERA) @ Tennessee: LHP Matt Chico (1-1, 2.52 ERA)

    I don't think anyone would say winning isn't important in the minors, just that the development of the players to become solid big leaguers should be the first priority. Hopefully the Jaxx win (and Chatanooga loses) tomorrow so they have a shot at a first half berth just like the Chiefs.

    I think it'll come around. If his plate discipline really has improved this much, he will eventually start getting those XBHs we've come to know and love from him. :D I hope so. It is still very early in the season for him. On a side note, has anyone else been pleasantly surprised by his OBP this season? Seems to be a trend among Cub propects. Pie, Patterson, and Dope have improve their OBP-BA spread this year. Perhaps Cubs management understands the issue but is unwilling to acknowledge their (subtle) shift in public. That BA-OBP spread is known as IsoD.
  15. CaliforniaRaisin
    Yay Jaxx!
  16. CaliforniaRaisin
    On a side note, has anyone else been pleasantly surprised by his OBP this season? Yes. But disappointed with his SLG so far.
  17. CaliforniaRaisin
    Woohoo, yay Moore! P.S. I think Nathan is checking this thread over the broadcast, because he's really quick with the updates on the West Tenn game. :P
  18. CaliforniaRaisin
    The Angels just want to give Jeff a few starts, hoping that he'll have a good outing or two and someone will trade for him. He's pieced together a few good outings recently.
  19. CaliforniaRaisin
    The Cardinals made the playoffs the year they traded for Rolen - they weren't out of contention.
  20. CaliforniaRaisin
    Yeah. He was ranked a little past 100 by BA and was thought to have a solid commitment to Arizona. Also, courtesy of Carrie Muskat: From what I've read, my favorite prospects after the 5th round have signed or are close to signing (Renshaw - 10th round, Huseby - 11th, Rundle - 14th).
  21. CaliforniaRaisin
    I personally believe that is Sammy had devoted himself to baseball strictly, HE would be the best pitcher in the 06 draft, and NOT Miller. But because of his "split commitments" we don't know where Sammy is in terms of development. Sammy is said to be able to hit low to mid 90s, touching high 90s alot of times. His off speed pitches are definately a work in progress, and depends on who you ask...some people likes Sammy slider, (I've heard it's been compare to Clement's, not sure how accurate that is, but if it's true... :shock: ) and some thinks is a sloppy curve. Nonetheless....Sammy is definately a FIRST RD PICK, that dropped due to his "football commitments." If the Cubs get him to drop football for good, then the Cubs, will without a doubt get the TRUE STEAL of the 2006 draft. He used to throw the loopy curve before this season and scrapped it for the slider. It's supposed to be a better pitch but he still has a lot of work on it.

    14th rounder Drew Rundle will sign over the weekend. He'll get a $500,000 bonus. Love the pic with the article: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v177/Navinda/bilde.jpg
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    Looks like Petrick is on the Boise roster.
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    Billy Petrick!!!! Hopefully he has recovered. And my favorite player from Mesa (besides Pawelek and Veal last season), Deryck Lewis!! Get to know the Hawks, from the Idaho Statesman
  25. CaliforniaRaisin
    Awesome.
