  1. It comes full circle. Hammel burns Lackey in Game 4 and now Lackey gets Leake.

  3. Book's out on Cubs hitters. Just throw strikes.
  4. And pound the right handed batters box if a lefty is up, get it called a strike.

  6. Need to bump Lester ahead of Ross in the lineup.
  7. I'd suggest adding Rashad Crawford to future polls.

  9. Iowa Cubs' Twitter account says Michael Wagner will start.
  10. Cardinals take A'Shawn Robinson, DL, Alabama. I too can take on more teams next time around to avoid polls. My thought was to just use the previous polls as guidance, picking the same guy if available or a similar type player, etc. If you want to double up more that's fine too. That works too. It probably gets a bit stale if the same three or four guys are making all the picks.
  11. The last time Jake Arrieta gave up a run at Wrigley, this guy was president. http://a2.files.biography.com/image/upload/c_fill,cs_srgb,dpr_1.0,g_face,h_300,q_80,w_300/MTIwNjA4NjM0MDA1MzkwODYw.jpg
  12. Cardinals take A'Shawn Robinson, DL, Alabama. I too can take on more teams next time around to avoid polls.
  13. Adam Wainwright gave up 7 in 5.1 and blew a 4-0 lead against the hapless Reds. ERA of 8.27.
  14. The gap in defensive ability between Zobrist and Baez is immense.
  15. At this rate, Alec Hansen should be available in the third.
  16. Jones. Pittsburgh just took Jackson III.
  17. Daniel Poncedeleon, who the Cubs drafted in the 14th round in 2013 but couldn't sign because he failed a physical, is apparently one of the Cardinals better prospects now.
  18. Box Scores: Iowa won 7-0 Box Score 2B L. Watkins 1/5, R, RBI, K, SB (2) C W. Contreras 3/5, R, 2B (4), PB (2) DH D. Vogelbach 2/3, 2B (3), 2 RBI, 2 BB CF A. Almora 1/5, R SS M.

  19. Not to mention that's 6'8" and fairly thin. Not only does that give him plenty of room to fill out and gain velocity but when pitchers are that tall, it can often take them more time than others to coordinate their delivery. Apparently, Hudson isn't experiencing that delay which speaks to his athleticism. So, he'll likely add velo, will have great downward plane on his pitches creating more balls hit on the ground and is progressing faster than expected speaking to advanced athleticism. I have him as the highest ceiling prospect left on the board and he hasn't done anything so far to suggest he's struggling to reach it. Growth plates!!!
