And the sheer volume of possible answers is staggering.

Greinke i'll give you. He became a strikeout pitcher in the big leagues.

http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=hallad001har http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=wilson002chr Halladay relearned how to pitch the second time around and Wilson wasn't good until recently. Still, a couple of exceptions that prove the rule.

turner's k/9 tell me that he'll never be top of the rotation. i mean, doesn't a serious ace-prospect have to be at least over 9 at every level? i mean, that's a minimum requirement. if you can't strike guys out, you can't dominate. if you can't dominate, you're back-end. Greg Maddux says Hello, as do several HOF pitchers from the early 1900s (Walter Johnson included). So ''several'' pitchers in the history of baseball, pretty compelling evidence there. HOF = Hall of Fame. Do you really want me to go thru the names? Or are you ok now? are you having a stroke? stick to the subject. name some top (or simply top of the rotation starters) pitchers in baseball today that didn't have a k/9 at least around 9 consistently in the minor leagues.

if all we're going to get is a top 40ish guy and a top 100ish guy, it'd be stupid to trade him. garza is worth the future. if we can't get 1 high level can't-miss out of him, then no dice.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 6-17-12
Magnetic Curses replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
i think it's some idiot making a superficial connection between his domination of AAA pitching and his struggles in the majors in 150 PAs at the age of 21/22. it's lazy and it's why a lot of scouts just suck balls. -
you never heard about the mcdome thing?

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 6-17-12
Magnetic Curses replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
I think you're obsessed with expected numbers and what AAA numbers project. Those projections can certainly be guidelines for what can be expected for over a large enough sample size, but you can't necessarily hold individual players to every general prediction. Will he strike out a lot? Sure. Will it follow the projection exactly for every player that strikes out a lot in the minors? Can't say. -
I have a mancrush on that guy. I wish i was him
-
so eovaldi, webster, or gould? got to get one of those guys if they want dempster.
-
these idiots have no chance against lester

It has been forever since I've listened to a Cubs game on the radio, I am thinking that might be a good thing (although I still like Pat Hughes obviously). he said "warshington" yesterday
-
People think that rooting for the Heat makes them less meatball-like. It's like people who pretend they're into Frank Zappa because they think it makes them look like music snobs. I know Zappa was a great musician and everything but come on, FRANK ZAPPA BURNED DOWN YOUR GHETTO. DON'T YOU HATE HIM LIKE JUST A LITTLE BIT? IS IT REALLY WORTH LISTENING TO HIS MUSIC TO DENY YOUR INNER MEATBALL? Be human, bro. Be human.

they killed cyrus

We call them native americans now.

i think it's still below average. but i'd like to see him win the starting job out of spring training next year, that would be nice.

do you like thick onion gravy?
-
Uh huh. And pitching is going to conjure itself out of midair or my ass, too.
-
I will have an argument, but I'm ostensibly posting from my phone right now.

Love super duper from Kyle. Ostensibly is just an insufferable word though.
-
this alone is like $400M worth of commitments this is still a bottom-5 offense in baseball that's conjecture. but the giants skate by with worse.

this alone is like $400M worth of commitments or 1/3rd of the annual payroll. which is why it's a good thing we develop our position players.
