    St. Lucie up on Daytona 1-0 in the middle of the 3rd. Veal gives up a 1-out solo HR and a 2-out walk in the top of the 3rd inning. :( Veal: 3 IP, 1 ER, 2 H, 2 BB, 6 K, 1 HR

    Daytona is scoreless in the bottom of the 2nd. Veal: 2 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 1 BB, 5 K. He struck out the side in the 2nd inning.

    Des Moines is close enough.

    Walrond's 2005 & 2006 stats: link.

    I would have preferred Drabek or Snyder, but I have faith in Wilken given his track record.

    The Hawaii Winter Baseball is starting up again this year, opening day will be October 1st. This year, unlike in previous years, they will only have players from MLB and Japan (previously they had other Asian countries involved). The official rosters will be announced on Sept. 1 and 21 teams in the MLB will be sending representatives. The league will be mostly consisting of A and AA players. The Cubs will have one rep...my guess: it will be Ryan Harvey.

    That's been shown as wrong (not saying you're the one saying that the Colvin pick was in conjunction with Samardizja). Colvin got less-than-slot money, but not by much ($1.475 million). Samardzija received $250,000, but won't receive anywhere near the reported $7+ million unless he stays in baseball for a few years. The second and third biggest bonuses the Cubs gave were for Chris Huseby ($1.3 million) in the 11th round and Drew Rundle ($500,000) in the 14th round.

    They probably stand out more for what they did with their talent after they won the Series. I took the question to mean not necessarily having the highest payroll (tough to do) but just throw out the big bucks to the big name FAs and bump payroll significantly (a la 19 to 5).

    He's been awful at AA as a reliever and was nearly demoted to A+ Daytona this season. The only reason he wasn't demoted was due to an injury to another reliever (Rocky Cherry). It's a shame he lost all that velo on his FB. His not-so-good 2006 stats. I would have preferred seeing Jerome too, but I honestly don't care that much if the Cubs lose Les Walrond this offseason.

    The 1997 Marlins did it. It's not the best way to build a perrenial winner (better to build up with the farm), but I wouldn't be complaining about how the Cubs won a World Series if they actually did win it.
  11. CaliforniaRaisin
    I agree. The number of drops seem a bit high. The running game hasn't done anything - but they said they haven't been working on it (which seems like a bad idea) so Rex can get reps.

    Rich Hill in August: 34.2 IP, 3.37 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, .214 BAA, 28 K/11 BB, 6 HR (:()

    :-s whoops.....Rolen pops out to Nevin at first. I like the first version better, it seems like something the Cubs would do - catch their own hits to get out.
  14. CaliforniaRaisin
    I still can't believe more hasn't been made of that. If I were a Braves fan, the mere mention of that incident would cause me to go flying into a fit of rage. The managers in the NL Central are something.
  15. CaliforniaRaisin
    Hey, at least he didn't pretend like his phone didn't work. In a playoff game.
  16. CaliforniaRaisin
    :-s
  17. CaliforniaRaisin
    Are you referring to my comment? No. I'm referring to Walrond starting tomorrow. It was him or Jerome Williams after Ryu was used a few days ago. The Cubs want Sean Marshall and Wade Miller to get one more rehab start each.
  18. CaliforniaRaisin
    I'd pay money to see that DH. :)
  19. CaliforniaRaisin
    Oh wow, another solid game for Hill: 7 IP, 1 ER, 4 H, 0 BB, 2 K Only 2 Ks?
  20. CaliforniaRaisin
    Now what did he do?
  21. CaliforniaRaisin
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    Ask abuck. It's his local newspaper.
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    I guess Jerome will start for Iowa then.
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    Iowa: Felix Pie is hitting .343/.395/.619/1.014 with 9 BBs and 24 Ks in 105 August ABs. West Tenn: Chris Shaver is 7th in the SL in ERA and tied for 10th in strikeouts. Daytona: Ryan Harvey is tied with Brock Peterson for the FSL lead in HRs with 20. Peoria: Jesus Valdez (144) and Ryan Norwood (143) are first and second in the MWL in hits. Boise: Russ Canzler is tied with Adam Witter for the NWL lead in HRs with 14. He is 1 shy of the Hawks team record (15 by Todd Greene in 1993). Mesa: Cliff Andersen is hitting .368/.471/.509/.980 with 8 BBs and 15 Ks in 57 August ABs.

    Why Les OR Jerome? Les was actually scratched from Friday's start: Jerome is another candidate to be called up.
