    I think yes because the one thing people who vote "know" about Ortiz is that every Red Sox game is won in the bottom of the 9th with a walk-off 7-run HR. And the walk-off HRs travel 1365.7 happy feet.

    His defense is not that bad. Unless, your talking about his arm? Again, 0 errors in CF this year. Just because he has 0 errors doesn't mean he's great defensively. He has a poor arm and gets bad reads/poor jumps on fly balls, which means he doesn't get to as many flyballs as he should given his speed.

    Peoria scores 2 in the 7th (Carter BB, Reed BB, Heredia single, and back-to-back RBI grounds out by Chirinos and Valdez). They lose 6-3, get swept in the doubleheader. Quad Cities make the playoffs.
  4. CaliforniaRaisin
    Will they vote for a DH, though?
  5. CaliforniaRaisin
    Peoria down 6-1 after 6. Quad Cities will clinch a playoff spot if they hold on. Mitch Atkins: 5+ IP, 4 ER, 7 H, 2 BB, 3 K - 2 of the runs charged to Atkins scored on a 3-run HR off Jon Mueller.

    Last time I checked, you win with offense too. Pitching and defense, is more important than offense. If you dont have a solid pitching staff supported with a solid defense, your not going to win many baseball games. Tell that to the 2004 Boston Red Sox.

    Russ Canzler!! He hits his 15th HR to lead off the 6th inning!! He ties Todd Greene for the Boise all-time HR record in a single season (and he also ties the NWL lead). Mark Pawelek's day is indeed over. His final line: 5 IP, 1 ER, 4 H, 1 BB, 6 K. Jason Ruhlman now in for Boise. 3-1 Boise in the middle of the 6th.
  8. CaliforniaRaisin
    In the top of the 5th, Matt Matulia with a 2-run double to score Matt Canepa and Matt Camp. That's a lot of Matts in one play. Boise leads it 2-0 in the middle of the 5th. Tyler Colvin 0/3, 2 Ks Pawelek's 5th: Double. FC, 3-unassisted. Great diving stop by Canzler. Runner to third. RBI single. Stolen base. Ground out, 4-3. Nice play by Clevenger at second base. Runner to third. Soft lineout to third base. 5 IP, 1 ER, 4 H, 1 BB, 6 K After 5, Boise leads Yakima 2-1. Mark will probably be done for the day or go out for the 6th on a short leash.
  9. CaliforniaRaisin
    Pawelek's fourth inning: Single to LF. FC, 5-4. K. Lineout to LF. 4 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 1 BB, 6 K Still 0-0.
  10. CaliforniaRaisin
    Peoria and Quad Cities are tied at 1 after 4. Peoria scored their run on a wild pitch. Atkins: 4 IP, 1 ER, 4 H, 1 BB, 3 K. Pawelek's third inning: Single to RF. K. K. Groundout, 1-3 (after Puello dropped a foul pop up that would have been the third out). Mark: 3 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 1 BB, 5 K. Boise is scoreless in the middle of the 4th.

    College girls are whores for athletes?? Shocking. I love the parents bit.
  12. CaliforniaRaisin
    Boise scoreless after 2. Pawelek's second inning: Groundout, 5-3. K. BB. K. 2 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 1 BB, 3 K
  13. CaliforniaRaisin
    Who's the third?
  14. CaliforniaRaisin
    There aren't too many Jamie Moyers though. That's what I'd have thought. Although, the guys Scott is ahead of in your list haven't been too inspiring.
  15. CaliforniaRaisin
    Atkins gave up a solo HR in the first, Peoria is down 1-0 in the bottom of the second inning. Pawelek with a 1-2-3 first inning: 1 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 1 K. Scoreless after 1.
  16. CaliforniaRaisin
    He was doing some middle relief, but that was because there were so many prospects and rehabbers who needed to start in Iowa at the time. He's primarily been a starter for the I-Cubs, his arm is stretched out. Unlike O'Malley, Walrond does have much better splits against lefties - .221 BAA vs. .282.
  17. CaliforniaRaisin
    The Big Dig is more cost-effective than the Cubs are.
  18. CaliforniaRaisin
    Vance, it's Verlander.
  19. CaliforniaRaisin
    I'm not that high on him for the same reason, I was just impressed at his low pitch counts and his success at a young age in the MWL. Matt Avery blows a 4-3 lead on a walk-off 3-run HR. Chiefs lose 6-4. Taylor: 5+ IP, 2 ER, 4 H, 2 BB, 1 K.
  20. CaliforniaRaisin
    Scott Taylor doesn't get an out in the 6th and his day is over. He gave up 2 singles to start the inning before being pulled. 5+ IP, 1 ER, 5 H, 1 BB, 1 K. LHP Scott Koerber is now in.
  21. CaliforniaRaisin
    He came to camp out of shape. I see. Thanks Raisin. :) To be fair, he's come on strong at Boise and has worked well with the pitching coach there (David Rosario) to the adjustments he has needed to. I'm sure the Cubs wish he was at Peoria instead but he's had a solid season.
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    11 balls of the 41 pitches too. threw 7 in the 1st inning, all strikes...had a 5 pitch 3rd inning. he is so different than most other pitchers at this level. He just doesnt care about K's. He knows he isnt a strikeout pitcher and doesn't try to be...very impressive mentality for a 19 year old! Most young pitchers at this level just want to throw 95 all the time and strike guys out even if they cant/shouldnt. Scott is not that way at all. And he has hit 1 batter in 136 innings....great control The pitch count bodes well, especially with a 7-inning game. ----------------- Peoria now up 4-1 after 5, thanks to 2-RBI Ryan Norwood double (following walks to Heredia and Chirinos). In the 5th, Taylor gave up a double, a groundout to the right side and a sac fly to lose the shutout. 5 IP, 1 ER, 3 H, 1 BB, 1 K.

    By VORP: 1. Travis Hafner 74.4 2. Manny Ramirez 63.2 3. David Ortiz 60.0 4. Jermaine Dye 58.9 5. Derek Jeter 57.9 6. Joe Mauer 57.7 7. Miguel Tejada 57.1 8. Grady Sizemore 56.7 9. Vernon Wells 56.0 10. Jim Thome 54.3
  25. CaliforniaRaisin
    Man, Taylor is the opposite of most of the Cubs guys in the big league plus their top prospects like Pawelek and Veal - totally conserves his pitches and does not rack up the Ks. Anyways, Peoria is up 2-0 after 4. Taylor: 4 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 1 BB, 1 K, 41 pitches.
