For what it's worth, it's a shame Alexei never got a Gold Glove early in his career - specifically 2010 when Jeter got it.

It'd be nice for Fulmer to down the Cubs' affiliate in the playoffs.

Since coming into baseball in 2008, Alexei has been the 8th best shortstop in baseball.

Brantly!

I mean, Chris Sale's slider is one of, if not the, most unhittable single pitches in baseball. Take that away and yeah, not as good.

If it was a one game playoff between Arrieta and Sale, I'd take the Sox. I like the Sox offense chances of getting runs off Arrieta way more than the Cubs against Sale.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 6, 2015 -> 09:09 PM) Jose Quintana could absolutely say worse and he would be 100% justified in saying that and the rest of the roster would absolutely deserve it. He's had the patience of a saint. +1

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Sep 6, 2015 -> 05:32 PM) Agreed. About time we see what we have in this Viciedo guy, showing some solid pop and a good hit tool, exactly what this team is lacking. I know he's been in the league for a few years but the dude is only 26 and was once a highly thought of prospect, time to see if we have something here.

Good play by Olt!

Almonte struck out 7 in 4.1 innings, gave up three runs.

Maybe Coop teaches him a cutter?

QUOTE (LDF @ Sep 5, 2015 -> 02:13 PM) yeah this is an excellent thread and really nice info being shared. Zangari and really throwing me... here are rhetorical questions. 1. where was Zangari last yr.... meaning his development. 2. if he is doing this now, against this level of competition, can anyone not feel excited ... meaning the same excitement of a Rodon, Anderson etc.... 3. any prediction of how more yrs of production would it take to really be talked about for the majors. Zangari was in high school. In May.

Well, I guess we have a new toy to look at?

QUOTE (ron883 @ Sep 3, 2015 -> 10:47 PM) Through 33 games at A+ he's hitting .319, .412 OBP, .877 OPS, 19 walks to 17 strikeouts. He was 42 of 50 in SBs at A, but only 11 for 18 at A+. This dude has game. Is his physical advantage that great over these kids he's playing against at A+? He is more physically mature, but he has less experience in baseball than all the guys he is playing against/ Well, he is an Olympian, so supposedly his only peers athletically could be the current big leaguers.

Montas 1-2-3 with a strikeout!

lol wat

Aww

I think it speaks volumes about his innocence that people always contend for him, but not for Cicotte who was another dominant player.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Sep 1, 2015 -> 09:28 AM) Schwarber's last 15 games: .148/.246/.389, 22 Ks Not saying he won't still be a monster for years to come, but can we wait for him to play more than 50 games in his career before anointing him as the centerpiece of the next Murderer's Row (or saying we should have picked him over Rodon)? Or that he'd win ROY this year?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 1, 2015 -> 08:33 AM) If Abreu is in a slump now, that would be awesome. I think he leveled out after the league had more experience with him, but we will see. It's the difference between potentially being a top 5 hitter in baseball or just a top 5 hitter in the divsion. Yeah, this is basically what I meant. I'm expecting monster numbers from him next year.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Sep 1, 2015 -> 08:20 AM) I don't know what sophomore slump you're referring to. From Zeus to Hercules.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Sep 1, 2015 -> 08:13 AM) People look at his batting average, but fail to recognize he's a plus fielder, baserunner, and hitter. I'm pretty sure he has completely lived up to the hype. The hype was near Ruthian. Despite that, he's been great. We'll see if he gets hit by a sophomore slump like Abreu.

Recap posted Viciedo having a nice little AAA bounceback. Would be nice if he was able to become a semblance of the middle of the order threat we thought he'd be.
