    He's a small hot streak away from ending the season with a AA slugging percentage higher than the Southern League average OPS.
  2. Hairyducked Idiot
    Dunno, minorleaguecentral doesn't track it below AA.
  3. Hairyducked Idiot
    His contact rate at AA (swing and miss divided by swing and miss/foul ball/BIP/HR) is just a touch about 65%. That's awfully low, and 65% in the majors is about as low as you can possibly be and still be remotely useful. It's Reynolds/Stanton territory.
  4. Hairyducked Idiot
    Yeah right, like Theo has $600 in his budget right now.
  5. Hairyducked Idiot
    Save this stuff for the game thread.
  6. Hairyducked Idiot
    i like how you lead off the sentence by basically acknowledging that the rest of the post is going to be stupid. It's the game thread. Stupidity is traditional and conventional.

    I now peripherals and all, but maybe it's a good thing Epstein doesn't have more money to work with.
  8. Hairyducked Idiot
    So we make it through every position player in the lineup without making an out, and Castro is still 0-1.
  9. Hairyducked Idiot
    Like he can't hit fastballs.
  10. Hairyducked Idiot
    You've been more valuable than Starlin Castro this year.
  11. Hairyducked Idiot
    Holy crap, I am so glad I watched this game through to this point.

    it would be funny if sano/lindor turn into perennial all stars while baez is a bust, then parks joins nsbb just to troll kyle. well not funny for us, but funny in a "not-a-cub-fan" kind of way. You are so weird.
  13. Hairyducked Idiot
    What happened? Nothing unusual. He's just already got an error and a caught stealing today.
  14. Hairyducked Idiot
    Castro being involved in anything leads only to bad things. He's broken forever and should retire.
  15. Hairyducked Idiot
    Lake drawing walks against tough righties is pretty fun to see. That was a nice one, too.
  16. Hairyducked Idiot
    I barely questioned the ranking issues. I took issue with his "no fan could ever know their team's system better than I do" rhetoric.
  17. Hairyducked Idiot
    Parks was mocking Sulley all morning for insisting Baez > Lindor
  18. Hairyducked Idiot
    I'll reserve judgment until the Nationals actually don't pull him back and pick up the option. That still seems like by far the sanest possibility.
  19. Hairyducked Idiot
    I like to think that Werth is intentionally breaking the fourth wall there.
  20. Hairyducked Idiot
    I'm thankful for that. The OBP boost wasn't worth the risk of a broken hand.
  21. Hairyducked Idiot
    I've got his legion of fans. It's cute that they think they can wear me down.
  22. Hairyducked Idiot
    I really think it's just a combination of the experts sticking with their horses and hoping they end up looking prescient as well as the simple fact that there's no way they can do all the homework it takes to keep current on every player. At least during the season, as Kyle mentioned. With some (cough Keith Law cough), I think there is a lot of ego involved. Switching up now would entail conceding their initial assessments were off, which would be unacceptable. They'll ride their horses all the way into oblivion like Slim Pickens on his nuke, if need be. And if it comes to that, they will only have been wrong because something "unforeseeable" happened. At the end of the day, there's 30 systems and 7 or 8 teams per system. I don't care if Parks or Law does this for 15 hours a day, that's not enough time to thoroughly follow each system. The hardcore fans of each team know their system better than these guys do. Plus, there's an element of backlash. I imagine their twitter blows up every time Baez homers, and it's never enough until all the Cubs prospects are ranked at the peak of their reasonable ranges.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=io5zsOm5cyc First one was crazy deep.
  24. Hairyducked Idiot
    The only valid reason I can think of is if you are a fan of a different team and don't want the Cubs to do well.
  25. Hairyducked Idiot
    I remember when everyone was always trying to come up with trade proposals that would get us Blalock. This was pre-NSBB, I think.
