That's good, thanks for the report. His velo will play up due to his windup and short arm action. He's gonna be a pretty good pitcher for us. I think he was one of the best MLB signings this off-season.

Dylan Cease traded to Padres
We Got The Whole 9 replied to Bobson Dugnutt's topic in General Baseball Talk
I kind of like swapping Cease for Thorpe. Cease is just too wild and always has been. Thorpe is pretty much a year away or could debut this year and has far better command. -
Does he?
-
That Medina dude doesn't have any sources but that's obviously what they are doing at the moment. Fields being a 60% passer who takes a sack every 5th drop back shouldn't surprise anyone to have a really tepid market.
-
Man I'm kinda tired of hearing horsefeathers like this. If Caleb is the man he should elevate the guys around him. Look at the horsefeathers Stroud was surrounded with. Having Moore and one of Nabors/Odunze would actually be pretty damn nice and Poles spent a decent pick on Scott, he needs a shot, IMO.
-
With Happ in there it's really not that bad.
-
If he hadn't signed Rypien, I would think maybe he's gonna keep Fields and still draft Williams. I don't really think Eberflus would want a rookie QB right out of the gate, He just seems like a guy who wants veterans in place. Can they get a pick for Bagent?
-
He traded for Moore and can easily take a guy at 9 or whatever spot he trades back to. He also traded for Claypool. He hasn't completely punted the position, at least the way he has with the C position.

The afterthoughts are raking

Does anyone care about the Bulls season enough to discuss?
We Got The Whole 9 replied to UMFan83's topic in Other Sports
Pretty sure they're never gonna hit 500 this year. Every time they get close they have to face good teams/superstars and get smacked back to earth . -
Shaw is gonna be our McClain. 125 bat right off the rip.
-
Freaking incredible play. Can't imagine how that felt as a Pacers fan there at the stadium lol

-
I know how to read a box score but did he get any swings and misses?
-
So we have struck out 1 batter through 5. Wicks had 0, facing 15 batters. Did he get any whiffs?
-
I was discussing this with my boss yesterday. I don't care about you looking amazing at a pro-day in optimal conditions; I want to see you function at a high caliber within uncomfortable environs. I wish he would participate.

This is that horsefeathers that Tiger was talking about. This is a seriously unitelligible sentence. It would be a lot better if you just said what you need to say without being so esoteric in everything. Just tell us that most posters here don't actually know horsefeathers about prospects and just get mezmerized by shiny toys. Be direct with your freaking words and leave the cryptic crap on the cutting room floor. Or just save it sometimes. That would be nice too. As for the article, there actually was quite a bit of clarity provided by the FO in their nonchalant approach to the 3B position. They believe they can get respectable production out of the position this season and they did not want to block the path of Matt Shaw. That's pretty obvious to me. It wasn't a pressing need for them in 2024.

What happened on the Morel play in question?
-
Yeah players that excel at both are so rare and burn out fast. I wish we had gone after Murphy though. But the Cubs highly value a guy that can communicate and lead a staff. They probably just hope they can get league average offense out of that situation.

General Baseball Chit-Chat Thread
We Got The Whole 9 replied to David's topic in General Baseball Talk
https://www.mlb.com/news/drew-burress-four-homers-georgia-tech-home-run-record Impressive as horsefeathers. Freshman hits 4 bombs and on wildly different pitch types and locations. The dude now has 9 HR in 8 career games. 5'9, gotta love it. -
The last 2 guys to get that label are probably Lawrence and Luck. Both top 10 QBs but never quite looked like they would/will lead a championship team. The evaluators are constantly off. I will say I pretty much carry this belief at every position. Everybody wanted to go out there and land the next Jefferson or Chase and here come the Rams waltzing in and grabbing a 100/1500 guy in the fifth round (a few yrs after they did it the first time with Kupp) after like 15 receivers were off the board.
-
Here's the thing: Of the last 20 QBs drafted first in their class, how many are now or were the actual top QB of their class in the NFL? Not that many compared to how many you would expect. The top 10 QBs this year was littered with guys taken after the 1st round even. So if they have conviction that more than 1 of these guys could reach an All-Pro ceiling then trading back and adding a bevy of picks to build up the roster is pretty enticing. So much is gonna change over the next couple months. Rumors are gonna be flying everywhere. i'm really not gonna pay attention or concern myself with it until a move is actually made.
-
Cubs must think Thompson's walk rate last year was a blip. I wonder how his stuff measures.
-
Okay Jed's off-season looks quite good now. Each signing has high potential with minimal downside. Let's go win the horsefeathers division!
-
Hits 30 ft/sec on his defensive sprints. Really nice addition to an already fast team.
