    West Tenn and Huntsville are scoreless in the bottom of the first. Daytona is down 5-0 in the bottom of the 4th to Jupiter. Holliman's been roughed up so far: 4 IP, 5 ER, 5 H, 1 BB, 4 K. Ryan Harvey with a walk in his lone PA. Wade Miller's first inning: Kenny Kelly singles to RF. Melvin Dorta singles to CF, Kelly to second. George Lombard singles to CF, bases loaded. Marlon Byrd grounds into a 5-3 force out, Kelly out at home. One out. Brandon Larson grounds into a 4-6 force out, Byrd out at second. Dorta and Lombard score. Two outs. Dan DeMent flies out to RF. 1 IP, 2 ER, 3 H, 0 BB, 0 K, 15 pitches (11 strikes) In the bottom of the first, Iowa has cut the deficit thanks to a double by Pie, a single by EPatt and an RBI single by Restovich. Iow down 2-1 in the bottom of the first and still batting.

    I'm a bit surprised. I expected Marshall to be called up.

    I was in a similar situation, ended up missing most of the game because I was moving my things out of my apartment at UCLA back to my mom's home and I was stuck in Los Angeles traffic (I was going to do a quarter at UCSD). Thankfully, my mom had recorded the game because she sensed it would be a good one.

    You should get Sean here to vote for himself. :D
  6. CaliforniaRaisin
    You're going to feel very foolish by voting before the undeniable case for Pie has been made. All talk. Where is this undeniable case?

    Please continue all discussion in the Polls thread.

    Fred is a workhorse. He's started 10 in a row and 17 out of the last 19. Too bad Z can't do that.
  9. CaliforniaRaisin
    Hey Ron, Ed Campusano hasn't pitched since that 20-inning game he left due to an injury. At the time, you had hypothesized that it was a back injury. Is that what it was? And will he be returning soon?

    A poll will be set up. I think Raisin is going to do that later today. Done! The Poll | Premium

    More on Hawaii Winter Baseball from Baseball Prospectus: I hope the Cubs aren't one of the 9 teams not sending someone to Hawaii.

    It is more often than not a BPA draft for the teams that don't need to make prearranged deals. I'm not letting Hendry/Stockstill get off scott-free. Player development in this farm system has helped make the Harvey pick a failure (along with a few other high-profile, high-ceiling-with-holes hitters). In a perfect world, the Cubs would improve their development personnel, but at the very least, they should stop taking the high-risk hitters because they know they can't develop them.
  16. CaliforniaRaisin
    Oh whoops, it got deleted. Oh well, these days I'm pretty confident in Mesa's rotation staying as Parker-Dolis-Ceda-Huseby (watch, this will come back to bite me today - Bernard will start instead).
  17. CaliforniaRaisin
    Frankly, to me, it's a battle between Gallagher and Veal (and maybe Atkins). And I'll debate with any of you Gallagher-backers (Serena) in Veal's favor. Bring it!
  18. CaliforniaRaisin
    What these high risk/high ceiling picks seem to be showing is a lack of development/coaching in the system. The Cubs should take the BPA every time, not avoid him because there's a higher risk in picking him. Monantez is not the same situation as Harvey - he wasn't the BPA and there was a prearranged contract. The Cubs passed on the higher risk Kyle Drabek (BPA, imo) for Tyler Colvin this year. Didn't Drabek have "make up issues"? Yes. As did Milledge and Christensen. The Phillies weren't the only team that felt it wasn't too big a concern, though.
  19. CaliforniaRaisin
    I know Outshined hasn't complained much about the pick (as long as Tyler sticks in CF) - the same with me. I'd have preferred others, but will give Wilken the benefit of the doubt. All the same, it's a telling statement on the Cubs' farm system.
  20. CaliforniaRaisin
    Feel free to question the Colvin pick all you want, but until the guy flames out in A ball I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt, at least initially. So am I. I am giving Wilken the benefit of the doubt.

    Consensus or not, the Cubs took a guy high who has been a major disappointment, again. Agreed. But saying the Cubs could have taken players like Murton, Markakis - even Wood or Billingsley at 6 would have been reaches and would have caused the reaction the Colvin pick created this year. Few teams, if any, would have rated these guys who went lower as higher than Harvey. And, of course, in the Cubs system, we're not sure if these other players would have developed the same (and, of course, if Harey was picked by another team, he might have developed better). It just seems like a pointless complaint to be upset the Cubs passed on Billingsley or Wood for Harvey. Doesn't mean I'm not mad the Cubs passed up on Milledge.

    Ryan Harvey was the consensus pick at #6, it was him or Michael Aubrey and it looks like most teams would have taken Harvey. It's not like this year, when the Cubs took a player some other teams would have taken in the 2nd or 3rd round over other guys who were rated higher by most, if not all teams.
