    Lol nice edit.

    [tweet] [/tweet] Every first round or sandwich pick made by Theo (besides Paul Blackburn who was traded to Seattle) is currently on the big league roster.

    Oh, he definitely has a sleepy-eyed psycho thing going on. horsefeathers, I just image searched him and he straight up looks like Dahmer most of the time. Is his walk-up music the minimalist stuff that is featured in Requiem for a Dream? I could barely make it out during the broadcast last night. Totally what a sociopath would pick. I approve. Yeah, it sounded like "Requiem for a Dream." Also find it hilarious Uehara comes out to "Sandstorm."

    I also like David Peterson amongst the college arms in the that range. But it sounds like both Canning and Peterson will be gone by 27, though. Like Regular Show, I'm intrigued by the top two JC arms.

    Yeah, those guys appear to be doing pretty terrible in XST. O well. Hopefully they'll get better with time. Despite Albertos' early season struggles, Arizona Phil seems to think he'll start off in Eugene:

    About time for Brooks and Rucker. Markey should get bumped up to AAA soon too. Guess he'll be in the wave of promotions with Mekkes and Maples, whenever that happens.

    Charcer Burks hit a HR too. It's only mid-May but so far, he's definitely been the biggest breakout prospect in the system this year. ETA: Whoops. I started making this post before davell's second post.

    At this rate, you guys are going to be resorting to cannibalism by tomorrow.

    That's great news! Did you name him yet? Clark? Addison? Bryzzo? Oh, just saw this. His first name is Jordan. Raisinette (love it, TT) got first name rights, so he isn't named after Michael Jordan but my friends and family don't believe that.

    Thanks for the congrats, guys!

    This is so so weird...you get that, right? Why? J. Altuve is 5'6" and Pedroia is 5'8" I believe. Great players, especially for how short they are. I mention those two players because the vast majority of position players at that height (or shorter) do not make it to the big leagues or fail to develop into impact players. It's just really hard to hit for power when you're that size. I seriously doubt N. Allen is the next Altuve or Pedroia... I know you capped it at Allen's 5'8" but Mookie Betts is listed at just an inch taller, very short for MLB standards and is an absolute star (and, like Pedroia, a Theo draft pick). Pedroia was drafted in the 2nd, Betts in the 5th round and we're talking Allen at 27 or 30, so the risk isn't as bad as a top 10 pick. And despite the height, there are distinct positives for Allen that make him a viable pick at 27/30.

    Heliot Ramos' profile does not match the type of profile this regime normally picks in the first round. In fact, the first player I thought of when reading his scouting report was Javy Baez coming out of high school and Jed Hoyer wasn't interested in Baez when he was with the Padres.
  15. CaliforniaRaisin
    Yeesh.
  16. CaliforniaRaisin
    I'm doing well, just tired. Thanks for all the congrats!
  17. CaliforniaRaisin
    Thanks, weis! All thoughts are with Raisin and his wife. Can't wait to hear whether it's a boy or a girl and that everyone's okay! Baby and mom are doing well. It's a boy. My wife is happy he got here before Mother's Day, so she can "celebrate." Thanks!

    I didn't even think to check the Cubs forum. Went to game threads and here. Whoops.

    Reading BA's report on Allen, you can see why this Cubs regime would be interested in him. Combination of Schwarber's chip on the shoulder, Almora/Bryant's IQ/instincts and Almora's ability to barrel line drives (at least in HS).

    Chris Crawford's most recent mock: http://m.herosports.com/mlb/baseball-mlb-mock-draft-twins-reds-get-two-way-stars-astros-tab-uvas-haseley-c6c6 Little went at 10, Hiura 12, Crowe 17, Peterson 20, Pearson 28.
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    Jim Callis released his second mock and he too had the Cubs going with Allen at 27. http://m.mlb.com/news/article/229743034/jim-callis-mock-projection-2017-mlb-draft/?topicid=151437456 Hiura went 22, Peterson at 24 and Pearson at 28.

    Also, we're going to the hospital tomorrow because my very pregnant wife is going to be induced. You kids are on your own for minor league game threads. Don't burn the forum down while I'm gone.

    Scheduled Games (All Times Central): Iowa at Salt Lake, 7:35 p.m. Tennessee at Jackson, 6:05 p.m. Myrtle Beach vs. Lunchburg, 6:05 p.m. South Bend at Peoria, 6:30 p.m. Probable Starters: Iowa: TBA Tennessee: RHP Zach Hedges (34.2 IP, 2.60 ERA, 2.90 FIP, 3.14 xFIP, 23 K, 5 BB) Myrtle Beach: LHP Justin Steele (26.1 IP, 3.42 ERA, 5.01 FIP, 4.99 xFIP, 18 K, 13 BB) South Bend: RHP Dylan Cease (28.2 IP, 1.88 ERA, 2.71 FIP, 3.00 xFIP, 43 K, 16 BB) No starter is listed for either Iowa (Eddie Butler's turn) or Tennessee but it's Zach Hedges' turn. I wonder if Hedges could get called up to Iowa.
