  1. When in doubt in Detroit, draft a receiver.
  2. The important philosophical question: Do we call this one sweep at the hands of the White Sox or two?
  3. http://mikeconley.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/gorilla_and_shark.png
  4. Mike Olt finding ways to get on base against righties.
  5. That's a freakin' haul for five spots.
  6. He's at EXST, right? I can totally buy it, but I have trouble pulling the trigger on a guy until he's played in a real league.
  7. 1. Dreamy Blue Eyes 2. Pulled Hamstring 3. 19th Round Catcher 4. Armando! Rivero! 5. Zing 6. Senor Strikeout 7. Centerfield Vitters 8. Plunky McPlunkerson 9. Angel Guzman Jr. 10. Rowengarnter
  8. Vizcaino doe Fair enough. 9. Angel Guzman Jr.
  9. Revised Cubs top prospects list 1. Bryant 2. Soler 3. 19th Round Catcher 4. Armando! Rivero! 5. Tseng 6. Baez 7. Almora 8. Bruno Nobody else worth a top-10 spot
  10. It was a financial wash, I believe. We ate all of it except for how much Volstad was due to make, give or take a few hundred thousand.
  11. Driving his walk rate all the way up to 2.7%. Vittersian
  12. Congratulations to Albert Almora, I am now officially worried about you. No power, no walks, no speed. Defense is never as good as the hype for guys in the low minors. If he hadn't been the No. 6 overall pick with the prestige to go with it, I'm just not sure I'd like him any more than I like Bruno or DeVoss. The hit tool makes it hard to bet against him making the majors, but whoop-de-do.
  13. I just mean that even digging through the trash bins, I'd expect a good front office to hit more often than that.
  14. Here's a list of players who, during the 2012 season, received at least 100 PAs or 30 IP from the Cubs, who were not inherited by Epstein and Hoyer: Rizzo, Valbuena, DeJesus, Mather, Stewart, Wood, Maholm, Volstad, Camp, Corpas, Dolis. Rizzo and Wood were the result of fairly significant trade value commitments. Other than them, what do we have to show for all that playing time just two years later? A decent utility infielder and Angel Guzman Part II (via trade of Maholm). That just doesn't seem like a particularly good success rate.
  15. I don't think I have ever been angrier than when Prior came out for the 7th in game 2. The sixth was bad enough. (yeah, let's all relive this stuff)
  16. I know it's not really relevant, but I hate to think we're using the No. 4 overall pick just to get the fifth-best pitcher.
  17. Facing MLB pitching is not good for Lake.
