    I'm so here for Javy at leadoff and the Soriano-related PTSD it will trigger in all the Dave Kaplan types

    Keith Law released his initial Top 50 this morning. He says to expect a run on college guys to open the draft, since after Casey Mize no one has really differentiated themselves on talent. Of the guys he has ranked in our vicinity, I think I like Noah Naylor. Law comped him to Brett Lawrie as a frontline athlete who can hit but doesn't really have a position yet.

    That's what I figured. I don't hate Bellamy, I just wish he would drop less passes when he gets forced into to receiving lineup. I'd this guy drops less, I'll like him more than Bellamy. Still would like an upgrade at the slot. Agreed. Maybe Christian Kirk will fall to the 2nd round... At least one of Kirk/Sutton/DJ Moore will likely be there for our 2nd pick.

    It looks like trading with the Bills for 22, 53, and 56 would be about right as well. I really want Quenton Nelson, but I wouldn't be surprised if getting someone like Will Hernandez plus two more picks is a lot better from a sabermetric (is it still called that when we're talking football?) perspective.

    Parking is pretty decent around Logan Square, but going from there to and from the field is a huge pain. I used to live in Logan while dating my future wife who was in Wrigleyville. Going west to east in Chicago is the worst. Your best option is probably uber. That or do intermediate activities off the red or brown line. For example take the blue line downtown in the morning, do whatever touristy stuff you're into, and then grab the red line to the game.

    Passan's weird. I generally think that aside from Grant Brisbee (who is going for something WAY different) he's the best baseball writer out there right now. But he will jump at any chance he gets to write that the sky is falling. Like the tone with which he wrote about free agency this winter was more dire than what the Washington Post uses to write about the president. He was the same way with the "Tommy John epidemic" a few spring trainings ago

    Relevant to the Nelson discussion: https://www.theringer.com/2018/4/5/17200244/quenton-nelson-notre-dame-draft-prospect-top-five-pick

    Maybe the most frustrating thing to me about Heyward is that even when you just need a weak ground ball to second, that's when he pops up or K's. When you just want anything but a double play, he hits the ball 105 mph on the ground right at an infielder.

    That was one hell of a majestic dong

    I think he's a guy that even when he's going right is always a little wild.

    It’s going to be an exhilarating race to 84 to 86 wins for the Cardinals and a 2nd place finish [tweet] [/tweet] Holy horsefeathers I love Grant so much

    Cards now losing 6-3 in the 5th

    99 MPH, off a lefty no less Heyward's fixed
  20. Bertz
    Wowowowow at that slider from Cishek. I'm gonna like this guy
  21. Bertz
    Cards losing again 3-2

    How many more runs would the Marlins need to score here before you thought they were likely to win this game? I think I'm at four.
  23. Bertz
    Heyward might be on to something with this whole standing 30 feet from the plate thing. He gets jammed by anything even vaguely inside, so if he stands far enough away that anything that jams him is a ball, maybe good things happen?
  24. Bertz
    Happ running an 1184 wRC+ and a 1.980 wOBA
