Anderson and Rodon top 100 prospects
The video I saw of Rodon in Winston Salem was beyond impressive. That slider has some nasty movement on it and his fastball has some great late movement to it as well. I'm a boliever.

Flowers and his magic glasses
There's still no doubt in my mind that Flowers will come crashing back down to earth soon, hopefully I'm wrong.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Aug 5, 2014 -> 07:41 AM) Here are my star ratings for the Marvel/DC movies I've seen. * = Terrible ** = Average *** = Good **** = Exceptional Batman Begins - ***1/2 The Dark Knight - **** The Dark Knight Rises - ** (The more you honestly think about this movie, the worse it becomes.) Iron Man - ***1/2 Iron Man 2 - *1/2 (This movie was just flat out stupid.) Iron Man 3 - ** Spider-Man - **1/2 Spider-Man 2 - ***1/2 Spider-Man 3 - *1/2 The Amazing Spider-Man - ** The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - Haven't seen it. The Avengers - ** Captain America - *1/2 (I thought this movie was really bad.) Captain America 2 - Haven't seen it, heard it was much better than the first. Thor - **1/2 (Without Loki this would have * star.) Thor 2 - Haven't seen it, heard it's better than the first. X-Men - **1/2 X-Men 2 - *** X-Men 3 - * (I'd give this zero stars if I could.) X-Men First Class - **1/2 (I'd give this 3 stars if it wasn't full of incredibly stupid mutants.) X-Men Days of Future Past - ***1/2 Hulk - * (The bad Eric Bana one.) The Incredible Hulk - ** (The slightly better Edward Norton one.) Superman Returns - *1/2 (The bad one where Brandon Routh played Christopher Reeves playing Superman and Kevin Spacey played Gene Hackman playing Lex Luthor.) The Man of Steel - **1/2 (Extra 1/2 because I'm a fan, but it was a bit...much.) Wolverine Movies - Haven't seen any of them, if there even are multiple. I'm sure there are a few I missed, but that should give a gauge on how I rate superhero movies, regardless of general consensus. I find most of them very fun, but there isn't much more there. If it's a movie I won't watch twice, it will never have more than **. So the last Marvel movie you saw you really liked but you're tired of them now?

JBL with a Frank Thomas reference. Awesome.

I'll have the Danish, thanks
As long as he doesn't break, I feel that Danish's stuff profiles him perfectly as a starter.

Jose Abreu general discussion
QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 4, 2014 -> 04:51 PM) I know you're not talking about me, but I like using WAR as basically a reference: 0 - Replacement 1 - Accetable but bad starter/Bench player/Middle reliever 2 - Mediocre starter 3 - Good starter 4 - Great starter 5 - All-Star Caliber Starter 6 - All-Star Caliber Starter/Possible MVP candidate 7 - MVP Candidate 8 - Best player in the league candidate 9-11 - Mike Trout 14 - Barry Bonds I don't like to line players up by WAR and say "so and so IS better than so and so because his WAR is higher," just that "so and so has been as valuable as so and so has to his team" or "so and so has been more valuable to his team than so and so." You may also see me refer to certain players as a "4-5 WAR player" or something along those lines attempting to quantify qualitative adjectives like "good, great, and really, really great." And where does Willie Bloomquist fit in?

2014 Cubs Catch-All Thread
I wouldn't be surprised at all if Baez busts, he could be a 40 homerun hitter too, who knows. On the other hand, I'll be shocked if Bryant is a bust, that kid is going to be a monster.

Is this bullpen Rick Hahn's fault?
Who knows what the Pen is like if Jones and Lindstrom didn't break. Either way, I think it's semi fair to blame Rick for the pen but you better be willing to give him a ton of credit for the turn around this team has had in one season. The bullpen is a quick/cheap fix for next season and we should be ready to compete and that's an incredible statement to what Rick has done to turn this organization around.

Is Ventura the worst manager in the history of MLB?
QUOTE (scs787 @ Aug 3, 2014 -> 12:55 PM) This. There's not a single guy who you can say "Robin should have put ____ in with a 1 run lead instead of ___" and be right. All the bashing is done in hindsight. Wasn't Belly in when De Aza botched that catch? He makes that catch we aren't saying a word about the decision. Nah that was Petricka. But I'm with you on your overall point.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 11:59 AM) Did PG sleep with your sister, get her prego and bounce? That was a horrific f***ing injury. If this happens to MJ in 1992 that would be the end of nba players competing in these worthless international competitions. It was ugly as hell but he'll be fine.
