    Yeah, I'd prefer Hill to Guzman, if for the sole reason I want to see Gooz build up his arm strength in Des Moines.
  2. CaliforniaRaisin
    Veal, Blackford, Billek and Yepez should be the Peoria starters for that series.

    Ryan Harvey went 2 for 4 with 2 strikeouts, Nic Jackson went 2 for 4 with a triple and Daytona's lone RBI. Daytona lost 4-1. Mets prospect Mike Pelfrey looked impressive in 6 IP.
  4. CaliforniaRaisin
    OBP down to .259.
  5. CaliforniaRaisin
    I have Encarnacion on my fantasy team.
  6. CaliforniaRaisin
    He's had 1 start: 5 IP, 2 H, 6 K, 1 BB, 0.00 ERA. Meanwhile, Rusch in 9 IP: 11 H, 6 K, 3 BB, 6 HR, 8.00 ERA. Yeah, I think I'm in.
  7. CaliforniaRaisin
    I don't see why you guys are complaining about Rusch! He lowered his ERA today. To 8.00. :(
  8. CaliforniaRaisin
    Off Glendon, again.
  9. CaliforniaRaisin
    Yay Barrett.
  10. CaliforniaRaisin
    So Rusch gives up 4 ER in 5 innings...and actually lowers his ERA. Well done, G-Unit.
  11. CaliforniaRaisin
    Jacque Jones hurt?
  12. CaliforniaRaisin
    Yeah, he walked 6 guys in 3.1 IP.
  13. CaliforniaRaisin
    All you have to do is say you're interested and then you'll go into the rotation (which is on the first page of this thread). We'll let you know when your tur in the rotation is approaching.

    I think David is. Roberto Novoa may have something to say about that. Or possibly JK Ryu. Gotta love that the Cubs have 2 ready relievers, with past ML success, ready to step in if there is an injury. In terms of Ryu, I think he's in a different situation from Aardsma/Novoa since he'd be used as a long reliever. At this point, I think Aardsma is ahead of Novoa with the return of his velocity.

    Better than me, I'll check yahoo.com or espn.com for updates a couple times at work (NSBB is blocked and Gamecast doesn't work at the office).
  16. CaliforniaRaisin
    I think David is.

    Yepez was great yesterday. no hits through five. mixed in all over the soze. he doesnt throw as hard as some of the other guys ( i think he was 85-88 if the radar on the scoreboard was accurate) but is somewhat deceptive from the left side. it looked like lefties had trouble picking him up yesterday. some of that had to do with the positioning of the sun but he took advantage of that. everyting was either popped up or on the ground so his sinking fastball was obviously effective. also had a nice breaking ball and changeup working yesterday. good control as well. Wonderful, thanks!

    There's more draft related stuff about RHPs Jeff Samardzija (Notre Dame), Chad Lee (Barton County CC), Daniel Bard (North Carolina), Ian Kennedy (Southern California), Max Scherzer (Missouri) and LHP Andrew Miller (North Carolina) in that link.

    Iowa: RHP Jae-Kuk Ryu (0-0, 1.80 ERA, 5 IP) vs. RHP Ben Sheets (AA: 0-0, 3.37 ERA, 2.2 IP) - on rehab West Tenn: LHP J.R. Mathes (0-0, 4.50 ERA, 6 IP) @ RHP Adam Bass (0-0, 12.46 ERA, 4.1 IP) Daytona: RHP Justin Berg (0-1, 9.00 ERA, 4 IP) @ RHP Michael Pelfrey (0-0, 0.00 ERA, 5 IP) Peoria: LHP Donnie Veal (0-1, 10.80 ERA, 3.1 IP) @ RHP Tommy Mendoza (0-1, 7.71 ERA, 4.2 IP)
  20. CaliforniaRaisin
    The starters went 21 IP, gave up 2 ER, 7 H and had a 21/5 strikeout-walk ratio. Not bad.
  21. CaliforniaRaisin
    Wow, great debut for Holliman! OleMissCub should be pleased. :)
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    Iowa: LHP Rich Hill (2005 @ Peoria, WT, Iowa, Cubs: 11-6, 4.19 ERA, 154.1 IP) vs. LHP Justin Thompson (2005: 2-2, 4.70 ERA, 44 IP) West Tenn: RHP Juan Mateo (2005 @ Daytona: 10-5 3.21 ERA, 109.1 IP) @ LHP Ryan Rodriguez (2005: 13-7, 4.09 ERA, 167.1 IP) Daytona: RHP Grant Johnson (2005 @ Peoria: 3-8, 3.82 ERA, 73 IP) Peoria: RHP Mitch Atkins (2005 @ Boise: 3-6, 5.03 ERA, 73.1 IP) @ RHP Robert Mosebach (2005: 3-3, 4.57 ERA, 65 IP)

    I'm going to preemptively ask this since I can't listen to the game today. How did Yepez look? I know he's primarily a ground ball type of pitcher, does he throw a sinker? How hard does he throw and what type of pitches does he throw?
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    It would be nice to see Marshall have good sink on his FB, esp if the wind is blowing out.
  25. CaliforniaRaisin
    Didn't the Reds do this a few years ago (for a few months) before they collapsed?
