    And getting rocked. I was disappointed with FB velocity only being in the 94-96 range in a short burst. And thought his infield defense could’ve helped limit some of that damage.

    Nico smacks a line single up the middle off Jordan Sheffield in his first at bat.

    Bailey Clark is now in the game.

    Tommy: Thoughts on Nico Hoerner’s quality AFL? Eric A Longenhagen: He looks good, the same as he did in the spring. You still have to be okay with the throwing to project him at shortstop but I think he’s functional enough in that regard to be a 45 or 50 there. Francis: Tell me I’m really stupid for falling in love with the Cubs AZL teams and Eugene roster. I can’t help it. Eric A Longenhagen: Not stupid, I like a lot of those guys, too. KW: Erick Leal has yet to give up a run in the AFL. What’s your take on him? Should the Cubs protect him on the 40-man from the Rule 5 draft? Eric A Longenhagen: Jeez, I did not know that. Up/down guy for me.

    The Fall Stars Game is tonight at 7 pm on MLB Network. Nico Hoerner and Bailey Clark will be playing but neither is starting.

    And The Athletic says speed is Nico’s selling tool:

    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.

    Nico won the fan vote and will be playing in the AFL all star game Saturday, which will air on MLB Network.

    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.

    10/27: RP B. Clark 1.1 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 2-0 GO-FO, 19-10 pitches-strikes, balk

    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.
  19. CaliforniaRaisin
    The assumption seems to be Boras was joking. Even if Bryce knows where he wants to go, it would be unwise to not milk things for more money.
  20. CaliforniaRaisin
    I view the Dodgers as having a strong chance at Harper too.
  21. CaliforniaRaisin
    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.

    Some Cardinals fan you are: https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/SLN/SLN201410120.shtml

    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.
