Lake projects to be a lot worse. I'd honestly rather just keep pretending DeJesus is a CFer for another year and go get a big bat for LF.
-
Gregg played for the team in 2009, but obviously has not been on the team since.
-
DeJesus OPSes as a Cub: .753, .765 NL average LF those same two years: .763, .757 What's the problem? yeah, the 2.5 WAR he's provided thus far has been inspiring. he's also getting old and doesn't hit home runs. David DeJesus 2012-13: 1.86 fWAR/600 PAs League average LF 2012: 1.78/600 PAs League average LF 2013: 1.43/600 PAs What's the problem? so those are your projections for him? Is there some reason they shouldn't be? ZIPS seems to like him just fine.

I mean, yes, I do believe that they believe that Lake is tangible and exists.
-
Have there been any hugs? It's not real until hugs.
-
I haven't given up on Vitters handling 3b, and he's a better hitter than Lake.
-
Yeah, Ted Williams would have hit .600 for his career if he only got pitches straight down the middle.

Junior Lake, birthday 3/27/1990 Moved to outfield because couldn't handle infield 279/341/432 at AA last year 295/341/462 at AAA this year Nearly a full week of MLB awesomeness, fueled by .600 BABIP Provokes riots if not given proper respect Josh Vitters, birthday 8/27/1989 Still on the infield, though not great at it 304/356/513 in AAA last year 284/370/469 in AAA this year Terrible month in MLB last year, fueled by .154 BABIP Considered by many to be utterly worthless, no longer worth consideration
-
he's not wrong
-
I'm not really keen on giving the Pirates a cost-controlled outfield solution for 2014.
-
Remember that time Steve Clevenger put up a 1.250 OPS in his first six games in 2012?
-
His contract will be over by the time we are ready to compete in 2017.
-
Some part of me still believes this team can make a run at .500.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 7-24-13

With some BABIP, his slash line would be pretty sexy. The K's are a problem, but AA does that to guys his age in first exposure. -
Bo Jackson says hi. Bo Jackson was an athlete that could play baseball, not a baseball player. That's stupid.
-
Well, we did pay a decent chunk of his contract via signing bonus. He's down to $11m a year from here on out, which could be a bargain.
-
A week after that, we hit the five-year anniversary of the last playoff win by an Epstein-run team. If you're not counting him as part of the 2007 World Series win, then you can't count him as part of the current Cubs. Huh?

-
It's weird. Apparently.
-
As Lake's age, his projection is far more relevant than his ceiling.
-
One week after that will be the five-year anniversary of the last playoff win for any Epstein-led team.
-
I guess that's the part that pushes me to grudging acceptance of this plan. I hate to accept replacing Garza with a clearly inferior reclamation FA, but given what's likely to be no the market, I don't see much choice.
-
I don't mind the realistic expectation that selling is likely next season. I abhor the idea of planning our offseason around an intent to sell.
