Cordell should have caught that

Has a worse player than Yolmer ever gotten more coverage?  Wow.

Pineda is one big mofo

He has a WS ring.  Yolmer dumps Gatorade on his head.

Judy Garland?

There was a poster on WSI whose handle was Punch and Judy Garland. A lot of people called Jon Garland Judy because they thought he was mentally weak.

Winner winner chicken dinner. 

2-0 count and takes fastball right down the plate. His patient approach will never work at this level given his awful bat speed.

Collins lol. What a prospect.

Collins doesn't have MLB quality bat speed. He's never going to hit at the highest level. 

I've never thought he was much of a prospect the last two seasons. 

The rebuttal: But his OPS!

That was never going to work at the MLB level.  They still need Grandal and if they DFA him tomorrow I wouldn't care.

Yeah, that was bad.  Up in the count 2-0, Collins should be looking to crush the next pitch.  Seems like he’s always trying to draw a walk.

Pathetic inning for the Knights

That inning was pathetic. Guy has an ERA over 5 and he strikes out the side swinging.

Nope, definitely not enough to be a contributor at a position besides catcher

I laughed when I was at the grocery store after the Cubbies won and he had a cereal named after him....must have been one of those high fiber cereals.

I don't even think he can hit well enough at Catcher. Look at Palka vs Collins and it's not even close. He's gonna make Alonso look competent. He's been a non prospect for years.

I don’t think either is a MLB caliber player in the long run

Cordell wake up

Neither do I. But the fact that Collins looks so much worse and Hostetler had the audacity to say they'd have taken him 1st is scary.

I am gathering from most of the comments is it’s time to close up shop for the season and go fishing 

Did Collins look at a 2-0 fastball right down the cock because he hasn’t gotten any playing time?

Same crap he did in the minors, to be honest 

Benetti and Stone making excuses for the injury train.
