Awesome lineup...
for one night only we can pretend that Aaron Miles is an insurance salesman living a quiet life in Altoona, as it should be…
DFA Miles, Call up Cox

This Chris Resop character intrigues me.
Apparently the Braves have to either trade him or call him up by the end of June.
i think they need outfield help
what with carrying melky and mclouth. long-term i think he would be well worth taking a chance on – not sure if the cards view our situation strictly in the short-term or not.

hinske has at least been hitting in left, so maybe they prefer the cf’er – mcclouth and melky really suck.

In football, the object is for the quarterback, otherwise known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his recievers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.

We should construct our lineup in such a way...
as to bunch hits together as much as possible. For example, the leadoff man hits a double and then one of the next three batters singles. This would lead to a run and would prove to be an effective element in winning ballgames.

Pitchcount on Jaime?
In football, the object is for the quarterback, otherwise known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his recievers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.
In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! "I hope I'll be safe at home!"

in the paper today or yesterday, they had an article about the three Cards draftees playing against each other this weekend (Cox vs. ASU pitchers).

Not that that is a accurate indication, but he didn’t say anything about “if” or whatever, just talked about being in the Cards system.

i think he actually doesn't have a strong arm in football, either
as he’s not a pro prospect. probably short passes for long gains to that super player they had.
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
No.
His arm is his best asset in football. I cannot tell you how many times this season he threw a pass downfield and I though crap he overthrew it only to find he had passed it to Jacoby Ford like 60-70 yards downfield.

ah, well scouts don't think much of it anyway
he’s a power hitter though, with good all-around athleticism. did he pitch at all at clemson?
btw, any pro can throw 60+ yards, even an old man like brunell. arm strength refers to the zip you get on shorter (20yd) passes, a la favre who could thread a needle with a 90mph pass.

Which is consistent with everything I know about him. His defense in baseball was never the best, mostly because of his arm, but his football arm is really very good.

well,

bounced a lot of breaking balls the last two games

"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
I don't mind that at all
Throw your fastball for strikes, get swings and misses out of the zone with the breaking stuff is a pretty solid gameplan. Falls apart when you don’t throw strikes with the FB though.
Not afraid to nitpick
sure, but you can't just bounce them in front of the plate
why bother? gotta make them better than that.

Pujols is not nearly the hitter he has been in years past...
is he injured? What’s the deal? The Cards can’t give this guy $200 million+ unless an explanation or a turnaround is forthcoming.
DFA Miles, Call up Cox
worried about vision myself
though can’t dismiss psychology re holly’s contract and the team not being aggeressive with him
I may be in a rut, but at least I know where I'm going
He's always the one saying that they're not going to worry about until it's time to start talks.
The vision thing really strikes me as a strong possibility. Maybe nobody is willing to bring it up with him, nobody that he’ll listen to anyway. Could be a pride thing, if he admits it then it’s a sign of weakness. I don’t know why, Mac was blind as a bat without his contacts.

which is the issue
they should have more. Albert is missing pitches he should hit, but neither have been given anything really to hit. And why would they? Ludwick has been the only Cardinal who has hit over the last week and the only other guy other teams would have to deal with. Just pitch around Pujols and Holliday and go after the other guys.
Pujols and Holliday need to continue to take their walks.

he looked fine
I was amazed by the way he held it together- errors behind him 3 innings in a row, 2 to begin innings, and he didn’t self-destruct. And 2 of the 5 walks were IBB/UIBB, and a third was a blown call by the umpire who wouldn’t settle down and pick a shoulder to look over.
Just imagine how, ahem, certain past “prospects” would have handled that.

he's got to gamble some if he wants the cards to
there is no way he is getting 6mil and a mlb deal. we do have some leverage too, with wilson picked, who also has a price. i know the guy could go back to college, and you can say we might lose something (but we get the pick next year), but he could lose much more – injury, a better draft class next year, a year in mlb possibly, etc.
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."

Austin Wilson, please don't be a tease!
yeah, it's +1

and of course whatever pick we get from this year's finish
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
they should
and get the qb signed – as a two-sport player, his money can get spread over 5 years, so it doesn’t really affect us much. with the dominican pitcher, a great year.
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
speaking of which
has their been any news on him? makes me nervous, though they might be double/triple/quadruple checking since he tried some shit once before
"Franklin has no patience for bloggers who believe because he pitches to contact, his start last season was something of a fluke."

someone posted he pitched again yesterday
struck out 6 in 3 or 4 innings i think. but no signing yet until the check is over.
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
I wouldn't understand a need to lie this time(unless he's like 25)
his FB has matured enough that he was going to get a pretty good deal even if he was 21.
unfortunately, if he IS 21
that’s a void contract…
"Franklin has no patience for bloggers who believe because he pitches to contact, his start last season was something of a fluke."

he's probably not likely to get more money

it's gonna be a much stronger draft class

"Moneyball: It's kind of like communism."
but I wouldn't be all that disappointed if they signed Wilson instead and took the protected pick next year
babip giveth... and babip taketh away
probably, but i think it's enough
he’ll probably get more, but shy of 3 – otherwise give it to wilson and get a good pick next year
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
vitek was right there with cox on talent i believe
he was picked by the red sox ahead of cox, at 20, and is signing for 1.36mil, fwiw.
funny, vitek played 2nd when he wasn’t pitching, and the sox want him to play third, and cox i guess we want to move from 3rd to 2nd.
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
If the kid wants to go to college...
That’s great. More power to him. But I don’t get it. You can always go back to college, but if something unfortunate happens, you’re never going to get that huge signing bonus. Nor will you get that opportunity to make it to the big leagues. And besides, don’t organizations pay for these guys to go back to school a lot of the time? I know that’s a rather simplistic way of looking at it, but that would be my thought process if I were in his shoes. There is just no way I could risk walking away from that pile of money and that shot at a dream, especially when you’re not really giving anything up to do it.
esp when it's 3M vs 6M
if the average 2008 Stanford grad got a 10% pay raise every year, it would take him 12 years to make 3M. If the guy who got the highest paying job out of Stanford in 2008 got a 10% raise each year, it would take him 10 years. And that doesn’t include the money you’d make investing that $3M conservatively.
Anyway, in the last 2 years, exactly one bonus greater than $3M was given to a pick below pick number 11. And that guy has put up a .617 OPS over 2 years at A-ball.

porcello was drafted in '07
Well the girls would turn the color of the avocado when he would drive down the street in his El Dorado... -the modern lovers
so a draft pick has two years of history between then and now
to look at, and try to determine how he stacks up against the people drafted.
Cox will have more leverage than Wilson, since there will be a new CBA in place by the time Wilson is eligible again- and there will almost certainly be a strict slot agreement in the next CBA (since it costs active players nothing, and gives them leverage for something they want, like removing compensation picks).
Well the girls would turn the color of the avocado when he would drive down the street in his El Dorado... -the modern lovers
why is it so important to note that kelly was the only guy picked past 11th to get more than 3 million?
I wouldn’t say he’s a bust as a prospect , in fact he’s better than most of the guys picked ahead of him. Kelly only dropped because of signability reasons like wilson.
right. And that guy got $3M
in a time of hyper-inflated salaries, in a year where soriano got $18M/yr and A-Rod got ~30ish. And then he failed as a hitter, and became a pitcher (thanks for pointing that out- I missed that earlier). So clubs can point at that and say “even the only guy who got what we are offering wasn’t up to snuff, in the last two years- what is special about your client, that he’s worth double what we’re offering?”
Anyway, asking for $6M at that draft position is insane. No arbitrator in the world would consider giving him $4M, based on what you see with other picks in that range; $3M is a gift. He’ll be lucky if he signs for what we gave Shelby.
Well the girls would turn the color of the avocado when he would drive down the street in his El Dorado... -the modern lovers
GAH, again
Nor will you get that opportunity to make it to the big leagues.
You wouldn’t get that opportunity to make it to the big leagues if something happens to you in the minors either. In fact money aside, you would rather get crippled in college.
and that shot at a dream
Playing college baseball is not giving up on “that dream”. If anything, I’d say you are much better off in “chasing your dream” playing in college than in High-A.
There is just no way I could risk walking away from that pile of money
This. The reason to pass up the college life to go ride buses in the minors is the pile of money. It’s not about the dream, it’s not about injuries or anything, it’s about money. How much money would you take to go to the crap towns of the lower minors vs. living the college life?
Not afraid to nitpick
man, you really don't want wilson to sign with the cards

I have to say, my favorite part was Yadi’s big grin waiting at home plate. reminding Boog to smile

What was the meltdown? Always up for a good grin . . . .

who would dewitt side with?
reinsdorf is an ozzie guy, even though i think ozzie is wrong here about his son not getting drafted high enough – no other team took him.

It's nearly 2 am.
I probably shouldn’t have laughed that hard at Ronaldo scoring on Homer.

I did post it in the day thread, somewhere out there
I do wonder, though, because there’s Cristiano Ronaldo (that guy) and Ronaldo. the latter appeared in an actual episode.
also: SPOILER! in this thread.

it would have been a record

from Halos Heaven
For some reason, the Dodgers had Ozzy Osbourne come onto the field and encourage the crowd to scream loud. I was there and it was loud. It broke the record for the loudest scream by a crowd. Guinness Book folks certified it. Many Angels fans were at the game, as was I, wearing my 2010 All Star cap, but others had the cojones to wear the red. If any of them were at the Anaheim snuggie night in April, hey, they broke two world records in one season. I just plugged my ears. speaking of records, it was the first time a pitcher scored 3 runs in a major league game since 1962.

my attempt at humor stands corrected
good for you, LA. it still doesn’t change my burning desire to see you spontaneously fall into the ocean. but good for you. you make noise good.

ha, i believe it back then
but with the DH it’s surprising today – they have only interleague to hit, and so to even get on base three times is amazing.

babip giveth... and babip taketh away
i hate when people predict
an out-of-the-blue 3 inning start for some dominant starter. and then reserve the right for I Told You So’s. its not trolling, but it is.
