torontofan Verified Member Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 I suppose I have to do my cutdown tonight? f*** it...I'll bring my laptop to the pool. It will hide my pastiness. Prospects don't have to be cut until June 7th at 11:59pm.
TheHurl Site Manager Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Prospects don't have to be cut until June 7th at 11:59pm. and I will likely be drunk from tomorrow until June 8th.
Laika Community Moderator Posted June 4, 2014 Author Posted June 4, 2014 Eddie Butler is Aaron Cook, right?
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Eddie Butler is Aaron Cook, right? You watch your whore mouth!
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Eddie Butler is Aaron Cook, right? Aaron Cook had a better walk rate. More like Butler is a cheap-man's Cook.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 What I wanna know is how Aaron f***ing Cook managed to make $40 Million while never having a SO rate over 4.5/9... Career rates of 3.7 K/9, and 2.7 BB/9....
z3r0s Old-Timey Member Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 just a friendly reminder that Silvergun and I need the #29 and #17 picks swapped on the Google doc.
Laika Community Moderator Posted June 4, 2014 Author Posted June 4, 2014 What I wanna know is how Aaron f***ing Cook managed to make $40 Million while never having a SO rate over 4.5/9... Career rates of 3.7 K/9, and 2.7 BB/9.... He was solid. Four straight years of ~4 ERA at Coors. That's not easy! Groundballs ftw. If Eddie Butler becomes Aaron Cook the Rockies should count their blessings. Okay, maybe that's a slight exaggeration, but it's not far off.
Fearthedoc Verified Member Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 To TCA: Pick 23 To FTD: Picks 31 + 46 I'm also releasing Oscar Mercado from my MiLB roster to make room.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 To TCA: Pick 23 To FTD: Picks 31 + 46 I'm also releasing Oscar Mercado from my MiLB roster to make room. How could you drop a true Card...
Fearthedoc Verified Member Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 How could you drop a true Card... No one bit when I sent out PMs saying "Interested in that Cards prospect named Oscar?"
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 I was actually thinking about drafting him last year just because the Cards drafted him in the early rounds and it seems everything they touch turns to gold.
Sammy225 Old-Timey Member Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Who do i tell about my prospect drops????
Fearthedoc Verified Member Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 I was actually thinking about drafting him last year just because the Cards drafted him in the early rounds and it seems everything they touch turns to gold. Yeah that's honestly the only reason I took him. I saw he was picked by the Cards and I'm like "Okay he'll be Jose Reyes in 4 years"
NorthOf49 Old-Timey Member Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Are we allowed to draft draft-eligible prospects that go undrafted in the Rule 4 (i.e. the next Brandon Beachy)? The rules fall a little short of addressing that situation.
torontofan Verified Member Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Are we allowed to draft draft-eligible prospects that go undrafted in the Rule 4 (i.e. the next Brandon Beachy)? The rules fall a little short of addressing that situation. He has to belong to a team to be drafted so I'd guess no.
z3r0s Old-Timey Member Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Sweet! Polanco is coming up as well! Will likely promote him prior to the cut-down date. Edit: Delino DeSheilds is now my best position prospect lol
Laika Community Moderator Posted June 4, 2014 Author Posted June 4, 2014 Polanco, Taveras, Singleton, Pinto. Tanaka, Ventura, Bundy, Paxton. Jealous of your young core, even if Pinto, Singleton, and Paxton aren't necessarily that sexy. The other five certainly are. I don't think I have a single ~25 and under of that type of pedigree. Stroman maybe, I guess. Harvey? Salazar has probably fallen out of that type of favour. Anyone notice that Sean Doolittle has a 39:1 K:BB?
NorthOf49 Old-Timey Member Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Sweet! Polanco is coming up as well! Will likely promote him prior to the cut-down date. Edit: Delino DeSheilds is now my best position prospect lol Thus ending my year-long attempt to acquire Polanco He's going to be really good.
Abomination Old-Timey Member Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 I inquired on him and the response was illegible growl-like noises. Was it something like this?
NorthOf49 Old-Timey Member Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 They're probably just clouding the situation to keep people from thinking it's a Super Two thing. He should be up in the next week.
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Anybody have a 2B available? I'll listen on Beckham.
Laika Community Moderator Posted June 5, 2014 Author Posted June 5, 2014 I'll listen on Beckham. As soon as I read this, I watched Gordon Beckham make a hideous error in LA. BTS doesn't need that type of D!
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 As soon as I read this, I watched Gordon Beckham make a hideous error in LA. BTS doesn't need that type of D! If only he was more like your avatar.
Laika Community Moderator Posted June 5, 2014 Author Posted June 5, 2014 Agreed, Gordon needs a #DimedStache
Laika Community Moderator Posted June 5, 2014 Author Posted June 5, 2014 Speaking of Gordons, Alex Gordon is now up to a .355 wOBA with a career low K%. It makes me soooooooo happy that he might possibly still be very good at baseball.
