if anyone really wants a scouting report message me and I'll forward.

 

So many team lists? You mean both of them? Not really meaning to be smarmy as you have a valid point, but on the other hand, it's two teams there - right? And the fact that those names are listed aren't really a surprise other than Anthony De on it. I was about to say that I was surprised that Alvarez wasn't but he'd likely not considered a prospect seeing that he had so many starts for them.

 

FLA and NY were calculated risks that aren't looking so hot. If the returning player had performed remotely close to expectations, this list would be a non-issue.

[TheHurl]

Admittedly poorly worded on my part. The players could have been MVP's and all stars...the only result that would have made the trade good was a playoff spot. Which is the issue I had with the trade from day 1

[ElNik2013]

The freakin' franchise would be in very good shape had they stayed the course, on the other hand, the "course" they were following might've been exactly what they did instead of the sustainable model we want.

 

But just imagine, Stroman, Syndergaard, Sanchez, Hutchison, Nicolino, Nolin, Descaflani, Marisnick, Jimenez and Burns all starting next year at AAA or AA. D'Arnaud, Gose, Alvarez, Lawrie at the MLB level. And this doesn't include the guys traded for Happ. AA wouldn't look so moronic, but I guess he showed his true self last off season, at least we know who he really is now.

[TheHurl]

Cubs are f***ing stacked right now, considering I think they will make a few more deals they could add some young pitchers and really be set up well. Theo's done well with his start

[ace3113]

I still think they should have drafted Gray over Bryant. Gray looks like he's going to be a front line starter, and that's something they really lack in the system, while they have Baez, Olt, and potentially Villanueva who could all slot in at third base, and Soler in right field.

 

Imagine if they had taken Gray, then next draft they have a choice between Hoffman or Kolek at number 2. Go big on Masahiro Tanaka, and all of a sudden you have a dangerous, young, top 3 in the rotation, not even counting Edwards or Vizciano.

[ace3113]

[TheHurl]

Hey Kev can you send me the reports please, thanks.

 

Keep reminding me if I don't.

[TheHurl]

I'm still taking the Twins system over the Cubs, but the Cubbies are probably #2.

 

Upside it's the Twins for sure. But they have too many that are too far away for me. It's really really good but a lot could go wrong for them still. I look at Pinto sitting in the back part of the top 10 for them (or outside of it) and I think how he'd be top 3 in most orgs. Similar enough Arodys would be top 3 in many still as well.

[ace3113]

I'll take the Astros simply because of Luhnow. The guy just knows how to build teams (look at most of the Cardinals good young players) and he's going to add Rodon at the draft to an already impressive group in Houston. Rodon and Appel give him a 1/2 punch at the top of their rotation as soon as 2015, with Correa and Springer serving as two premium position players.

 

Too bad they didn't win with their bid on Abreu, but apparently they are considering making a run at Tanaka, which would be even better.

 

Rodon

McCullers

Deshields CF

Correa SS

Castro C

Singleton 1B

Springer RF

Altuve 2B

[ace3113]

Decent core, can also pencil Dominguez at 3B. Villar could also be trade bait or be the backup infielder.

 

I also really like Rio Ruiz and Vincent Velasquez, two guys I was championing hard in their draft years. Max Stassi is also a solid prospect. If I have one complaint it's that they picked really conservatively in 2013 after Appel. They probably thought he would ask for more than slot, though he eventually signed for 1.45mm below. I liked Thurman in round 2 but they could have done much better than Kent Emmanuel in the 3rd, or gone for higher upside with their late overslot guys than Devonte German or Chase McDonald, but I'll give Lunhow the benefit of the doubt on his choices.

[TheHurl]

Got a few minutes so I decided to compare Minny and the Cubs.

 

The big one

 

Buxton vs. Baez.

 

Not even close for me. Buxton is Trout lite at this point. Baez has unreal power but he's got a lot of issues he'll have to work out. The line drive rate and K's are his biggest concerns. He'll need to hit 40 to keep the average up and he's not going to walk enough to support a .220.

 

Huge Edge Buxton

 

The 3B's

Sano vs. Bryant

 

Everything I just wrote about Baez, applies to Sano. Except he might be able to walk enough to carry a low average. I've said since early last year that Bryant will be the best bat from that draft. He K'd at a pretty high rate in his debut but I think he'll work on that. His bat control is too good for that.

 

The top 2 pitchers.

 

Bryant but by much less than Buxton over Baez.

 

Stewart & Meyer vs. Edwards & Johnson

 

For me this is a kid with great stuff and Meyer who has shoulder issues vs. the two best unknown pitching prospects in all of the minors. Heading to AA Edwards (as will Johnson be) has one issue. His stamina keeps his velocity down later in the game. If that develops I'm predicting he's an ace. A righty that lefties can't touch, works his ass off when working at his game

 

Have to leave now....to be continued later.

[TheHurl]

Bryant over Sano? No way.

 

Sano = Pedro Alvarez for me. Bryant will be a monster this year.

[Angrioter]

Sano = Pedro Alvarez for me. Bryant will be a monster this year.

 

Bryant over Sano is fair for me. Sano corner OF

[Nox]

Sano is 14 months younger and played in a full level higher than Bryant touched last year. That's very significant at their respective ages.

[TheHurl]

Sano is 14 months younger and played in a full level higher than Bryant touched last year. That's very significant at their respective ages.

 

Did they ever confirm Sano's real age? I don't think they ever did. The power is legit and if he can find a position where he doesn't kill the team, he might end up much more Stanton than I think (not to mention that being Pedro Alvarez isn't the worst thing a prospect could end up). 80 power is 100% legit. I think I watched him in 3 games last year and he kept watching strike three so it was tough for me to judge him. I really struggle to get behind prospects who aren't improving an already bad K-rate. If Bryant doesn't improve next season I'll probably jump off that bandwagon too

[TheHurl]

Love seeing UB Catcher Tom Murphy on the Rockies list. He's going to swing and miss a bunch but he'll draw a walk and can catch.

[TheHurl]

Can you send me the rest of what you have? I've got the NL East, thanks.

 

when the NL is done I'll send you all. Promise

[TheHurl]

I have New Year's Day off. I swear I'll put together all of the write-ups to date.

[The Cats Ass]

I have New Year's Day off. I swear I'll put together all of the write-ups to date.

 

Full of false promises.

[TheHurl]

Full of false promises.

 

I put them together. I never said I'd post here. I've been wanting to get the scouting reports into excel as I want to play with data eventually. The file is posted into the DDL message board.

[The Cats Ass]

I put them together. I never said I'd post here.

 

I see. I forgot to read the fine print.

[Chappy]

I put them together. I never said I'd post here. I've been wanting to get the scouting reports into excel as I want to play with data eventually. The file is posted into the DDL message board.

 

Can you send it to me or post it in the Fantasy Challenge Dynasty League? It would be much appreciated if you did.

[John_Havok]

I put them together. I never said I'd post here. I've been wanting to get the scouting reports into excel as I want to play with data eventually. The file is posted into the DDL message board.

 

Might I also request this for the FC league. You are a gentleman and a scholar.

[GD]

May I request this for the BBDL as well, oh wise and glorious Hurl?

[TheHurl]

May I request this for the BBDL as well, oh wise and glorious Hurl?

 

I can email it to you, it's up to you whether you post it. Unless someone shows me how to post an excel document here without going through Google docs.

[TheHurl]

Can you send it to me or post it in the Fantasy Challenge Dynasty League? It would be much appreciated if you did.

 

Done. Will post the AL later (possibly much later, not going to promise a timeline this time)
