QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 07:33 PM) Yeah, Washington. They'd never have 2 separate franchises move out of there to the Midwest! Funny story. The Nats actually are the 21st team in average attendance this year. Know who's #20? The White Sox. Do the White Sox have the potential to sell out every night? We would if we had Strasburg, Harper and Zimmerman. I know Washington's attendance isn't great now. That's why I said potential.

Reed at #16? lol@the Dodgers

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 07:27 PM) No, it doesn't. You can have two or three great players and still suck. Insert a Cubs joke...now. Or a Marlins joke. Marlins? lol. Florida is a terrible sports state outside of college football. Washington is not. You're honestly going to tell me in Strasburg an Harper that they don't have the potential to sell-out every night?

Brewers have successfully restocked their pitching.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 07:23 PM) Actually, they have to worry about it a lot earlier if these guys come around. 2014-2015 the guys start hitting arbitration, and if they're as good as you want us to believe they are, then they're going to be $10 million candidates for arb year 1. And that's also when Werth is probably going to be declining. Hey, he said $20 million. I didn't say they'd stay dirt cheap until then. And if they are as good as they would have to be to command that much in arbitration, that would mean they were pretty much selling out every night.

Don't know much about Fernandez. But Florida knows what they're doing. Logan Morrison, Gaby Sanchez and Stanton are all killin' it this year.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 07:20 PM) Let's assume Harper, Zimmerman, and Strasburg are all great. Harper and Strasburg could probably ask for, and get, $20 million a year if they live up to the hype. Then that Werth contract is really bad. There's no good excuse for that contract. They won't have to worry about that until like 2017 at the earliest.

The Red Sox and Tampa are going to feast. Still a ton of talent left.

Nimmo came out of nowhere.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 07:12 PM) Yeah, they have one of the best records in the MLB for the last 10 years, so they've never drafted highly. Oh, wait, that IS our excuse. But that doesn't count. Um, no. They emptied out their system last year for Greinke and Marcum.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 07:11 PM) What if the Sox signed Miranda Cosgrove? What then J4L? WHAT THEN?! Then all would be forgiven.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 07:09 PM) Brewers need absolutely everything. Milwaukee's farm system might be worse than ours. They have an excuse, though. We don't.

Excellent pick by the Brewers.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 07:06 PM) His point is that you are our very own Keith Law. And I have every right to be.

What do you know about Springer, Dirty? Don't know much about him myself.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 07:03 PM) Spangenberg can hit. He had major helium at the latter portion of this season. I would've went pitching in that park.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 06:58 PM) If he played for the Sox, you'd be noting that he's a 23 year old in AA for the 2nd year who has a career ERA in the minors of 4.14 and WHIP of 1.273 who suddenly is putting up an ERA of 2 and a WHIP of 0.79. If he played for the White Sox he'd be our #1 prospect and future 'ace.' With Washington, he's just another guy when Strasburg gets healthy and Jordan Zimmerman in the fold. And I anticipate the Nationals being a cash cow very soon. So they'll be able to buy a pitcher if they have to. They've proven they'll spend money with the Werth signing.

Meh, bad pick by the Pads, IMO.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 06:56 PM) Before I get disgusted by the Red Sox buying the elite falling talent, I really hope someone else picks Josh Bell. His power potential is just ridiculous. You know it's coming.

Not a bad pick by the Cubs. I thought they would go pitcher.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 06:48 PM) Strasburg has awful mechanics. Nationals need pitching and outside of Zimmerman, they have no one that isn't a huge risk. They've got a guy named Brad Peacock who's molesting the eastern league.

f***! I actually wanted the Cubs to get Lindor over Cleveland.

Damn, I ain't seen Carlos Baerga in years.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 06:43 PM) I'm amazed at how you can project a 100% success rate for 29 teams prospects. It's no secret I get excited over young talent. But I'm not exactly going out on a limb with the Washington core.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 06:43 PM) Man, f*** them. Strasburg-Harper-Redon is as good as it gets 3 years running. They've picked the right years to suck.
