Mike Matheny is horrible

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 5, 2018 -> 08:44 PM) Baseball isn't typically a game of instant success. The Mike Trouts of the world are rare indeed. The developmental curve of an Avi Garcia or Yolmer Sanchez is more normal. Some guys take time, especially if they weren't fundementally sound to start with. The kid is a toolbox. It could take 3 years for him to figure it out. That wouldn't be crazy at age 22. Exactly, the more tools you have, the longer it takes to develop.

What do you think the asking price is for Daniel Norris, I think he can be an elite guy out of the pen once he gets out of a Tigers uniform

He said that you couldn't tell Joe Maddon how to use and situate his lineup based off of analytics, that's literally what the Cubs do every game.

Hearing Hawk's anti sabermetric rant... get him out of the booth

The dreaded third time through the order for James Shields

I stepped out for a couple minutes, so that is a hit for Moncada?

Navarez needs to get a start. I know that its super early but you don't want to go all Ned Yost and run your best catcher into the ground

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 4, 2018 -> 03:09 PM) Davidson 4th and Anderson 8th, huh? I'm confused.

Great f***ing game

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 31, 2018 -> 08:17 PM) Please don't let him be next in line for free agent hitters that come here and forget how to hit. Not close to worried as of now Shouldn't be worried at all, at least give the players/team a month to get going

Yes.

I want Tim looking for a steal here

Kennedy has thrown about 30 pitches after the first inning where he threw 44.

Gotta get past these jitters

Although I wish he was more aggressive at times, I love that Moncada sees a lot of pitches.

Zack Collins reaches the major leagues this year... as a first baseman

QUOTE (GenericUserName @ Mar 30, 2018 -> 06:09 PM) If there is any team at the top that should know Kelenic its us. He is playing on a travel team instead of his high school team this year, so hopefully he faces some better competition and we can see what he's got. I really like him, but I also feel like he might be a reach because he kind of profiles similar to Blake Rutherford: might not have the speed to stick in center, might not have the bat to make it in a corner. Brandon Nimmo too, at least in terms of situation

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Mar 30, 2018 -> 01:10 PM) I know these rankings can & will change, but who are the top four guys at the moment? Mize, Liberatore, McClanahan, & Hankins/Gorman? Obviously it seems like we?€™ll probably end up with a pitcher and I?€™m fine with that. Adding another elite pitching prospect will give us the depth to move some arms to add a cost-controlled bat when the time is right. Mize Liberatore McClanahan Gorman Hankins I think Singer is barely top ten, he's hasn't been too hot. I like Rolison too. Kelenic is a top ten guy as well.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Mar 29, 2018 -> 07:35 PM) On another day Moncada could have had two bombs as well. Both his outs to the warning track in CF would have been HRs in Chicago in June. I was being sarcastic regarding Moncada. But I’d like to see him be a tick more aggressive

I have Anderson and Moncada going for a combined 40/40 Anderson is holding up his end of the bargain, Moncada not so much.

75-87 They improve their record but still nab that top ten pick, their last for a long time

I know it’s not time for our prediction thread but... I have both Yoan and Tim going for 20/20 this year.

Smart. There's no reason to rush anybody dealing with any sort of injury while the team is still in a rebuilding phase.
