  1. Javy found my acknowledgment of the mere possibility of my reconversion to be that inspiring.
  2. I'm just about ready to rejoin the bandwagon. [expletive] that. You stay as far as humanly possible away from it. Your doubt is what has him back to doing WTF he wants. Not even a secret bandwagon either. You think Javy will never make it past AA, even after he's a 5 time All Star at 28. Fair? Javy, inspired by my re-conversion and wanting davell to STFU, just went deep for a second time.
  3. Season-ending elbow surgery.
  4. I'm just about ready to rejoin the bandwagon.
  5. DeJesus to the Royals is 2013's version of Garza to Detroit.
  6. Mauer backhanded the rebound without looking. Holy balls you're right. I watched it probably twenty times trying to figure it out.
  7. Well, lack of upside and the fact that he hasn't thrown a pitch as a pro yet. When you are battling it out to fill out the top 15 with guys who have been mediocre as a pro, the uncertainty works in your favor.
  8. is he? Castillo at the MLB level last year: 6.03 xFIP Rondon: 5.65 I know there's more to it than that, but it feels sometimes like Rondon's awfulness is a weird blind spot in Cubs fandom this year.
  9. Short of intentional sabotage, I'm not sure how they could avoid it.
  10. Holy [expletive]. Clarified that it is indeed mix of Almora, Baez, Bryant, and Soler. Damn, Parks really, really likes the Cubs system right now. I'm sure it won't be universal, but he won't be alone that limb either.
  11. Nobody would call somebody who is average at those 5 tools a 5 tool player. That's just dumb. The entire concept of five tools is dumb. If we're dumbing, we're dumbing.
  12. MLB average is 16 HRs per 600 PAs. So 15-20 is average and MLB average is enough to check off the "tool" box.
  13. http://img801.imageshack.us/img801/6975/castropuke.jpg :sick:
  14. Brilliant job as always, Epstein!
  15. I think Castro's bWAR and fWAR are now both below 0.0
  16. The Len and JD call on that pickoff was amazing.
  17. I'm not sure what is less surprising: Angel Hernandez making a horrible call or Jackson being the victim of one.
  18. Rizzo is only 14th among qualified 1b in wOBA? I thought it was better.
  19. The Pirates' collapse has maybe begun? That'd help a lot, though we probably won't win nearly enough for it to matter. Are you familiar with punctuation?
  20. Starlin Castro horrorshow update: He has now been worth precisely 0.0 fWAR this year, a replacement-level player. Fangraphs' updated ZIPS projects him to finish with 1.4.
  21. We crossed the line for me the last two days.
  22. Vogelbach's BB rate shoots up past 10%.
  23. Mineaswell lock this thread.
