A quick perusal of the draft forum for pre-draft coverage showed MLB.com said Hoerner ran “fairly well” and PG said he ran “above average” at the Cape.
10/29: DH T. Giambrone 2/2, 2 BB SS N. Hoerner 0/4, K C PJ Higgins 1/3, BB LF DJ Wilson 0/4, 4 K RP M. Rondón 0/2 IP, 3 H, 5 ER, 2 BB, 0 K, 1-1 GO-FO, 31-16 pitches-strikes
Bailey Clark is the only Cub playing the AFL All-Star Game. It'll be on Saturday on the MLB Network. Not sure what Giambrone and Hoerner did to get snubbed.
David Cone would check the ex-player box and is both open minded and good in the booth. He’d be great in this setting. He also likes having women watch while jerking off in the bullpen I was unaware he was Louis CK.
Kershaw is topping out at 90 this year. This is who he is at this point, he’s got to make that adjustment that comes with old age and diminished stuff to so many pitchers.
Again, I'm almost positive the Cubs will NOT lose their first round pick for signing Bryce Harper (after he receives the QO from the Nats). I'm pretty sure I'm right. I'm doubting myself because multiple posters here keep saying this... I believe the Cubs would lose their 2nd round pick + $500K in IFA money for the next signing period. If they finished the season over the luxury tax threshold I believe they would lose their 2nd round and 5th round picks + $1 mil in IFA money. I don't think the Cubs finished the season over the luxury tax and just managed to stay underneath it. Yes, the Cubs finished below the luxury tax this year. Guess it’s time for me to research the CBA stuff, I might be operating on old information from the Heyward/Lackey offseason.
Yeah, it’s obviously going to be wildly inaccurate but I always eat up early mocks because they’re fun and provide a picture of a certain scenario. Not that it matters, I fully expect the Cubs to lose their first round pick for signing Bryce.
Yeah, he wasn’t HBP on the leg. Nothing like the World Series to remind you the NL needs the DH. ETA: I know about that he ankle injury but he’s clearly healthy enough to try running in that situation.
