  1. There's been at least one scouting report this offseason that said it was less than excellent. There will be more in the coming years as the low-minors euphoria wears off.
  2. It started with one of the davs saying I'd probably say that, and I said "sure, it's probably overrated." Overrated doesn't mean bad.
  3. Woohoo. He might get to 5 homers this year if he hurries up and gets hot.
  4. Need to convince the Carolina League to upgrade to AA status and move there.
  5. It's probably above-average, but there's no way it's more than that with his lack of speed. So ... fringe-plus?
  6. You've been a little cranky lately. Like less clever and more direct aggression. Everything OK? half of that sentence is laughter It felt like hurting-inside laughter.
  7. I'm fine with these types of disciplinary moves happening in the minors, but I really wish they wouldn't be reported. But I guess that's his job. I'm glad they're reported, but I imagine the coaches aren't. They usually hide it.

  9. http://www.northsidebaseball.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=61198&p=2829066#p2829066 I learned my lesson.
  10. What exactly are you imagining is happening here?
  11. davell, not wanting to face uncomfortable truths about prospect fapping, decides to deflect and start spraying potshots in direction of individual posters to ease his pain.
  12. ABTY said it. So McLeod probably doesn't even know who Jackson is.
  13. I kind of brought it up when goony compared Almora to Vitters...and I knew what Kyle's response would be so I kind of brought that up too. You did a very nice job of preemptively turning this into an argument about me. Nice deflective tactic, and it workd.
  14. You'll just pick out whichever of all those writers says the best thing, and then repeat it endlessly until it seems like consensus.
  15. Proof that every minor leaguer's defense is overrated? A lifetime of experience reading breathless reports on "This guy could be a plus-plus defender right now even though he's still in A-ball" and then he comes up and gacks balls all over the place.
  16. And if Almora had Vitters' power, he'd be a much better prospect. But he doesn't. And yeah, Almora's defense is almost certainly being overrated. Every minor leaguer's is.
  17. We can talk. She just can't go for a hug.
  18. It's more than enough when you've also inherited Samardzija, Castro, Marshall, Garza at the MLB level. And probably a few more guys that could still be useful now. This team is bad because Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer have done a miserable job adding good baseball players to the roster, not because of what they inherited or even because of the payroll. *That's* the product we're seeing right now.
  19. We reward them for defensive mistakes, too. Bad positioning, falling down before they touch the ball, mistakes on tough plays.
