    I can't consider Pinto on a list like this because of his poor performance at AAA to start the season.
  2. CaliforniaRaisin
    As I read the question, these ar the top 5 prospects, just based on 2005 minor league stats, not tools/athletic abilities shown this season. Here goes: Position Players (in order): SS Ronny Cedeño OF Brandon Sing OF Felix Pie 2B Eric Patterson OF Matt Murton Pitchers (in order): RHP Ricky Nolasco LHP Rich Hill LHP Sean Marshall RHP Sean Gallagher LHP Mark Pawelek Of course, Ronny, Felix and Murton didn't qualify in terms of ABs in the minors and Pawelek in terms of IP. :P And, of course, my top prospects list looks quite different from that.

    RHP Scott Taylor (Boise: 0-0, 15.00 ERA, 3 IP; Overall: 0-3, 8.19 ERA, 18.2 IP) vs. LHP Broc Coffman (1-2, 3.38 ERA) Boise is 1 back of first-place Tri-City with 2 games left. To make the playoffs, Boise has to win their last two games and hope for a Tri-City loss.

    Unless they lied about the Achilles injury in 2004 and were covering for an elbow injury.

    Yeah, I got the impression from listening that Berg was tiring. This was the first time I got to listen to Nathan in a while - the volume was fine and everything. It was great listening to you; it's a shame it was the last broadcast of the season.

    While most of the SF media seems (seemed?) to love Dusty, most of the fans I've talked to couldn't stand him and were thankful to get rid of him after 2002. (Of course, the same ones now hate Felipe Alou just as much.)

    Is a longshot at a division title with a .500 record and getting swept in the divisional series worth risking Bonds' health for next season? Then again, who am I to stop them? Long shot at the division title? I disagree. They're 5 back with about 10 games against the Padres upcoming (plus games against the pathetic Rockies and Dodgers). I think Barry wants to show he can still productive if he's going to the Angels or Yankees as a DH next year. Something very fishy about all of this - apparently two weeks ago, the Giants had said there was no way he'd be back this year.
  8. CaliforniaRaisin
    It has sounded like Dusty really has grown to dislike Chicago this season - I don't want him back, so hopefully he won't want to re-sign. Keep up the good work, Bruce!
  9. CaliforniaRaisin
    Barry took BP today at Dodger Stadium and did a bit of running before the game. The rumor is that Barry will be starting tomorrow for the Giants. Mike Krukow/ Duane Kuiper (SF broadcast) and Vin Scully (LA broadcast) both addressed the rumor, saying it was all the talk amongst the press folks at Dodger Stadium, but no one could find confirmation for it.

    lets go back with the Koronka experience :wink: and no im not on drugs...if were going to lose, lets lose badly. I think Koronka can pitch better than Rusch has his last 4 or so starts.
  11. CaliforniaRaisin
    So far, they haven't extended Dusty yet. Hopefully they don't.
  12. CaliforniaRaisin
    The Cubs will need more OBP than just Giles to fix the offense. Won't Murton, Giles and Cedeno help "fix the offense??" It's not like they're in the bottom tier. The bigger concern should be getting the pitching back to where it was in 2003 and upgrading the defense will help that. Murton I think will help, but I don't expect Cedeño to hit that well in his rookie year. CF might be plugged by Corey, who will have to make major strides to put up a respectable OBP after this year's debacle. CF might also be filled by Felix Pie, who'll probably have a rougher jump to the big leagues than I think Cedeño will have. I don't think those three new faces in the starting lineup is enough to fix the offense.

    How much "truer" does Aramis' throws have to be? Derrek Lee can handle "untrue" throws, I think.

    EPatt finishes the season as the MWL batting champ, Harvey the HR champ. Ryan Harvey misses the RBI title by 1, 101 to 100. :(
  16. CaliforniaRaisin
    Berg went 3.2 IP, gave up 4 ER, 3 H, 2 BB, didn't catch the K totals. Justin gave up all 4 runs in the 9th and some of those runs were inherited and scored on by the reiever who followed him.
  17. CaliforniaRaisin
    The Chiefs win it 8-6. All the Peoria and South Bend players are giving each other five - nice gesture by both teams.
  18. CaliforniaRaisin
    South Bend has scored 4 in the 9th and it's now just 8-6, Peoria. The go-ahead runner is up to bat, but there are two outs.
  19. CaliforniaRaisin
    If you want to thank us, take Dusty Baker off our hands. We'll make it a trade. We give you Dusty, you give us Pujols. O:)
  20. CaliforniaRaisin
    It's a good thing the Cubs are thinking about re-signing Dusty. :roll:

    GRAND SLAM, BO FLOWERS! 7-2, Peoria!!
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    Congrats, Jaxx! Peoria up 3-2 now in the 7th inning. Sam Fuld just got his 3rd hit (a double) of the game, to ensure a season BA of .3002. Bo Flowers is up with the bases loaded (after an IBB to Ryan Harvey).
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    Geez, another hard hit ball, but right at Flowers at the warning track for the second out in the second. Gooz is being hit pretty hard. :?
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    Guzman is on a 50-60 pitch-count again, just like on Tuesday. Sam Fuld won defensive player of the year before the game. Guzman gets a lineout to CF for 1 out.
  25. CaliforniaRaisin
    Going to the second, the Chiefs are down 2-0.
