TCR Friday Notes
A little under the weather and mourning the end of the Bears season, so some brief notes to hold you over for the weekend.
- To add fuel to my "they better offer Rich Harden arbitration" fire, the Seattle Times suggest the Mariners have some interest in Rich Harden as I imagine a few teams will.
- Our pal Alex Eisenberg at Baseball Intellect has a new premium article scouting left-handed pitcher James Paxton (drafted by the Blue Jays in the supplemental round in the 2009 draft). The video in the game is against LSU and there's three at-bats of D.J. LeMaheiu which he does a little breakdown of.
- Congrats to Carlos Zambrano on his third Silver Slugger award. I know Z gets a lot of heat for his Babe Ruth like swings and not worrying enough about his pitching, but I suggest if you have a problem with that you should go follow an AL team. Players like Carlos Zambrano is what makes the National League more fun.
- On the Curtis Granderson rumor front, MLBTR has a link up saying the Angels and Tigers have been talking...Granderson would presumably patrol left field.
- And now the greatest 4:30 minutes you'll watch this weekend, hat tip to Big League Stew for the find.
Enjoy the weekend!
Re: TCR Friday Notes
watched this when you first linked to it, Rob.... Absolutely hilarious, love it
Re: TCR Friday Notes
cco has a nice page with you tube videos of cubs minor leaguers including Castro, Castillo, Vitters, etc.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
nice collection.
also, damn...jose iglesias (BOS) puts on a nonchalant slick fielding display in his field work with s.castro...it's almost like he's bored to be there.
Re: More on Granderson
Re: TCR Friday Notes
damn...eric gagne ready to come back as a SP for 2010 via Yahoo Sports, Tim Brown.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
MLBTR says 102.2 innings pitched in 17 starts last year with a 4.65 ERA, don't think that means he'll be an SP for sure in 2010, Brown's reaching there. They link to the original report as well.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
the M's just gave jack wilson a 2yr/10m contract.
why exactly did they feel the need to replace GMs if they're going to do crap like this?
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Jack Wilson has been worth, on average, just under $8M a year since 2002. 2/$10 isn't unreasonable.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
i am just a severe jack wilson hater...i mean, i understand wanting a guy who can play nice defense, but the guy is neifi perez with a starting job and a dozen more walks a year.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Hell, Jim Hendry will be paying almost twice that for Grabow(a loogy) and Aaron Miles.
If Jack Wilson was a lefty who knows what we would be offering him right now. (NTC?Player options?personal hitting coaches?)
Re: TCR Friday Notes
grabes isnt a loogie...he's an inning guy. he's actually got an out pitch vs. righties and everything.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Is $8 per year his Fangraphs number? Those are absolutely off the wall. It's like they do massive amounts of narcotics and make up numbers. Fangraphs claims Mark Teixera was worth $421 million last season. The only guy who believes that is Scott Boros.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Fangraphs claims Mark Teixera was worth $421 million last season.
Or $23M, which sounds pretty accurate to me.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Curtis Granderson is exactly the type of speed/power combo player Jim Hendry and Gary Hughes love. If he is available, I believe Hendry will go after him, even if it costs the Cubs Starlin Castro, Andrew Cashner or Jay Jackson, and a third pre-arb auto-renewal guy (like maybe U. of Michigan alum Jake Fox?).
Granderson is signed through 2012 with a 2013 club option, but he only gets $5.5M next season, which would probably be a million or two less than what Marlon Byrd or Mike Cameron would want per year. Then when Granderson's salary increases to $8.25M in 2011 and to $10M in 2012, the Cubs will have contracts coming off the books that would offset the Granderson salary increases at that time.
Also, with Mike Fontenot having been designated as an arbitration-eligible "Super Two" (thanks to the Twins optioning Glen Perkins to AAA on September 2nd), I think it's now fairly likely that Fontenot will get non-tendered on 12/12, and as a result, I believe it's also more likely now that Matt Camp (who is presently tied for 2nd in doubles and tied for 4th in SB in the Mexican Pacific League) will be added to the Cubs 40-man roster at the end of next week. Camp is primarily a 2B-CF, but he has the IF-OF versatility and pinch-running/base-stealing skills that Fontenot lacks, although Camp does not have Fontenot's occasional power.
And as I mentioned on a previous thread a couple of days ago, Milton Bradley to TB for Pat Burrell (with the Cubs & Rays splitting Bradley's 2011 $12M salary) and then Burrell to the Mets for Luis Castillo would be a three-way deal that would help all three teams jettison unwanted flotsam, while adding a player who would (at least marginally) help fill a perceived need and/or (in the case of the Mets) open up 2B for Orlando Hudson.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Dr. Phil,
If you were running things, would you offer Castro in a Granderson swap?
Would you offer arbitration to Harden and Grabow?
Would you pick up comp draft picks if they happened to be easily available?
Thanks in advace

Re: TCR Friday Notes
Matt Camp--ugh. He's a .271 minor-league hitter with zero power and Fontenot-type speed. He's doing a nice job hitting leadoff for Mexicali, but last night he stole his 9th base and was caught stealing for the 5th time. A guy like that will be discouraged from running in the majors. Piniella doesn't like guys who lack pop and don't steal bases, even if they have so-called speed. See Felix Pie.
I much prefer Robinson Chirinos, who seems to have figured it out, hitting-wise, at the age of 25. Chirinos is playing in Venezuela, where he is out-hitting his teammate Dopirak, who was just added to Toronto's 40-man. (Chirinos: .365/.423/.730/1.153. Dopirak: .283/.381/.496/.876.)
Chirinos is turning into a power hitter: 6 HRs in 63 at bats. He's the guy who hit two grand slams in a game last year. Historically, he's a middle infielder, although they turned him into a catcher in 2008, probably because he doesn't have middle-infielder speed and he wasn't hitting the ball with authority. He is now. A guy who can catch and play second and third and hit could be more useful than Matt Camp.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
I'd be interested to hear what AZ Phil has to say about Chirinos. His A-ball and winter league number pops, but he has yet to impress at AA and hasn't sniffed AAA.
Seems like the main difference between him and Camp is that Camp has put in a little time at AAA (without impressing offensively), can play CF, and has a little speed.
Chirinos hasn't played any AAA but has similar numbers at AA to what Camp does (in fewer PAs), has more recent pop, less speed, and plays C but not outfield.
According to AZ Phil's Rule V list, Matt Camp appears to be Rule V eligible and Chirinos does not, which means Chirinos has a little more time to season in the minors and become a more complete bench player (meaning probably experiencing some offensive success at at least the AA level, perhaps some at the AAA level as well).

AARON B: I would offer Castro in a deal for Granderson, and I would offer arb to both Harden and Grabow.
The Cubs have other SS prospects besides Castro (although Castro is the best one), and I doubt VERY much that Harden would accept arbitration if it was offered, and offering arb to Harden would not keep another club from signing him.
With Grabow, offering him arb would probably keep other clubs from wanting to sign him (because signing him isn't worth losing a 1st or 2nd round pick), so he would probably accept the arbitration offer, and then (if necessary) I would gladly go to arbitration with Grabow, because a one-year deal (even slightly inflated) is better than a two or three year deal with easily attained performance incentives.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Even though Grabow is a LOOGY?
Re: TCR Friday Notes
the only issue grabes has vs. righties is building to changeup out pitch vs. righties before throwing too much wild stuff.
fastball, slider, change...fastball is 93+mph, slider is lights-out vs. lefties, and the change is good at fooling righties.
he's got the pitches when his control is there. he's not a loog...
Re: TCR Friday Notes
You're mistaken. Here's a quote: "Hell, Jim Hendry will be paying almost twice that for Grabow(a loogy) and Aaron Miles." Next thing your going to tell me is that 2.5 + 3.5 >< 2*5.

For your consideration:
Introduction to Sabremetrics by Michael Jong
Crawford wants out?
From Mike Silva's blog, via Rotoworld:
Carl Crawford is reportedly "livid" the Rays picked up his $10 million option on his original four-year deal signed in 2005 and wants out of Tampa Bay.
The report is from Mike Silva's NY Baseball Digest, which is a fine New York baseball blog, but take it with a grain of salt. Says Silva's source: "He had a handshake agreement with management that they would renegotiate the contract instead of picking up the option and they went ahead and did it anyway. He's pissed beyond belief." It's highly unlikely Crawford is moved during the offseason, but he'd be prime trade bait if the Rays fall out of the race early. We have trouble believing this report, because Crawford agreed to the option. Why include the option if there was an agreement to rip it up? Additionally, he didn't seem to have a problem with the 2009 option being picked up. Crawford is widely expected to command at last $15 million annually once he hits the open market.
I agree it sounds a little fishy, but hey Tampa, if there is trouble, we'd love to help....
Re: TCR Friday Notes
I'm all for Hendry making moves to better this team, but why get excited with the first girl to ask you to prom, when your trying to get lucky! If Hendry is willing to give up a boat load of really good prospect why not try to get the most value you can. Don't just settle for the ugly girl. This team needs so tweaking and I think Wilkins has done a good job in making the minor league system better than the previous regimes.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Is Granderson the "ugly girl" in this scenario?
Re: TCR Friday Notes
I think Hendry is the ugly girl, but if he makes Castro or Lee available, his dance card will be full at the winter meetings.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Oh, I get it. You're talking about the other team not wanting the "ugly girl," meaning you think they can get more than Hendry's first offer from either Hendry or other GMs.

Re: TCR Friday Notes
Submitted by Charlie on Sat, 11/14/2009 - 6:03pm.
According to AZ Phil's Rule V list, Matt Camp appears to be Rule V eligible and Chirinos does not, which means Chirinos has a little more time to season in the minors and become a more complete bench player (meaning probably experiencing some offensive success at at least the AA level, perhaps some at the AAA level as well).
CHARLIE: Robinson Chirinos is a Rule 55 minor league FA (AKA "Six-Year Minor League FA"). The 13 Cubs minor leaguers eligible to be Rule 55 minor league free-agents can be found on the right sidebar and in my "40-MAN" file (see "AZ PHIL'S CORNER"), but any of the 13 could theoreticaly re-sign minor league contracts with the Cubs for 2010, and if any of them do re-sign with the Cubs prior to next month's Rule 5 Draft, they immediately become eligible for selection in the Rule 5 Draft.
Chirinos has been a Rule 55 minor League previously (the first time post-2007, and then again post-2008), so it's possible he might re-sign with the Cubs again, or he might decide to try his luck with a new organization, since he has already spent nine seasons in the Cubs organization without ever playing above AA, and it's unlikely he would get promoted to AAA Iowa next year, either, because Welington Castillo, Chris Robinson, and Steve Clevenger will likely all be vying for playing time behind the plate with the I-Cubs in 2010.
Chirinos was converted to catcher last year because Oneri Fleita (who was a catcher in his playing days at Creighton and in the Orioles organization) can spot a catcher a mile away, and Chirinos understood that being able to catch as well as play other positions would give him a better chance to continue his playing career past 2008 (the year he was converted to catcher). The Cubs like Chirinos because he is a mentor to the younger Latin players (he's a Venezuelan version of "Crash" Davis) and a loyal "organizational player" who does whatever the Cubs ask him to do without complaining, bitching, or whining, and I believe he will probably eventually end up a coach or a manager in the Cubs organization.
As for Matt Camp, I know for a fact that he is very highly regarded by the Cubs Player Development people. They like his versatility, speed, and athleticism, and hitting 333/390/447 (so far) in the Mexican Pacific League with nine stolen bases and a league-leading ten doubles certainly won't make them like him less.
Whether Camp will be added to the Cubs 40-man roster on 11/20 or just get an NRI to Spring Training (presuming he doesn't get selected in the Rule 5 Draft) is still TBD, but if the Cubs plan to non-tender Mike Fontenot (now that they know he is eligible for arbitration as a "Super Two"), Camp's chances of getting added to the 40 increase. That doesn't mean Camp has a good chance to be on the Cubs 2010 Opening Day 25-man roster, though. That is unlikely. But the Cubs absolutely, positively want Camp at Iowa in 2010 as roster insurance, and if they believe he will get selected in the Rule 5 Draft (and there is a fairly good chance that he will get picked if he isn't added to the Cubs 40-man roster), the Cubs might decide to add him to the 40 just for that reason.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Phil--the interesting thing about Tim Wilken is that even his less-than-inspired draft picks have a shot, because they are versatile two-way players, even if their hitting is not quite major league. So people like Matt Camp, Ty Wright, Marquez Smith and Tony Thomas are able to hang around, hang around, hang around, waiting for a break. Reed Johnson is another example of a middling Wilken draftee, and he's done okay. If rosters had four or five twenty-fifth spots, they would all be major leaguers.
Camp, by the way, ran into his 6th caught stealing last night, versus 9 steals. His Mexicali teammate Brad Snyder, meanwhile--a Shoeless Joe Hardy type we never talk about--has 11 steals out of 13. He also stole 10 in a very abbreviated season at Iowa.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Well..I agree...but it's not like these are all 28-29 year old guys hanging around for a shot. Thomas and Wright have 2 full seasons, Smith has 2 full seasons..
Brad Snyder...nice! Maybe worth a look in ST as an extra OF...had a solid season going in AAA until the injury.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Exactly, I think Hendry could get a better deal for Castro, Lee or Vitters. Giving up those type of prospects with high ceilings I think Hendry could do better than Granderson. Though contracts will play the main part in any deal with the Cubs.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Count me against trading all of those guys for Granderson.
The more I think about it. The more that Dan Uggla sounds like a cheap/reasonable alternative to some Outfield power.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Just out of curiosity, Southpaw, which player, Lee, Castro or Vitters are you sure is going to hit 30 HR's in the majors while playing, at least, average defense?
I don't see the Tigers wanting any of those players as a centerpiece of a Granderson trade, because they're going to need someone they can show to their fans from day one, but you're either vastly overrating prospects or underrating Granderson here.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
I agree with Dr. Aaron and Southpaw. If we trade one of our top three prospects-Castro, Cashner or Vitters, it better be for Adrian Gonzales, Hanley Ramirez or Roy Halliday.
We don't want Juan Pierre part deux...
That said, I'd like to think a package of Tyler Colvin, Jake Fox and a pitcher would get it done.
How about Jeff Samardzija straight up for Curtis Granderson? If I'm Detroit that deal makes more sense.
The economics have finally tilted in our favor. Detroit and Michigan's overall economy is in the crapper. There is no way they'll increase attendence in 2010. The Cubs, however, should be back at 3Million. And by paying the money to sign their prospects, they have plenty of chips to work with.
The Cubs are in a position to re-tool and compete at the same time. Which is why they should set their sights on Adrian Gonzales. He's lefthanded and entering his prime. Make a subsequent deal of DLee and this team could be re-built for the next 3-4 years. I'm confident the Red Sox would love to have Derrek Lee.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Let me give you guys some idea of what Adrian Gonzales would cost:
Hanley Ramirez? Throw Jackson and Marquez Smith on that list.
It's great that you guys are excited about Cubs prospects, and to some extent you're right if you think that pre-arbitration players are going to be in demand - but what is going to be in demand right now is Major League players who are pre-arbitration. Teams are having payroll problems in 2010 not in 2014, at which point it's assumed the economy will be recovering. Guys who just finished seasons in A and AA aren't going to be hot commodities, because they can't play in MLB in April.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
I would absolutely deal Vitters in an Adrian Gonzalez deal. I just think that Granderson is wildly overrated. Not enough contact/on base, who really should be a platoon player.
I say you let this year play out. Get the comp picks for DLee after this offseason, then trade Vitters and Co. for Adrian Gonzalez next offseason.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Here's a list of Center fielders who hit more HR's than Granderson:
Here's a list of Center fielders who walked more than Granderson:
Mike Cameron
You're getting all worked up over a bad BABIP season... is it that you don't understand the concept?
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Yeah. If you check out his fangraphs page, you can see that the only other drastic difference was that his GB% dropped and his FB% went up, but he hit the same percentage of homeruns per fly ball. His line drive percentage was actually higher in 2009 than in 2008. He had significantly fewer infield hits, probably in part due to hitting fewer ground balls, and it looks like more of those fly balls got caught than in years past. Probably bad luck more than anything else. The Ks and BBs are right on what he did in 2008.
And in 07 and 08 his OBP was just fine. Not impressive, but .360+ which is fine. Can't imagine Wrigley would have a negative effect on any of those numbers, nor would seeing the Pirates and other NL Central competition.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Samardzija for Granderson. Please put away all hallucinogenic drugs before posting.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
I'm glad that people are acknowledging that the Cubs have good prospects. That's step one.
Step two is letting them grow up a little bit to increase their value--have them at least do well in AA (as Colvin and Castro have done), in line with what Neal said.
Step three is looking for redundancy at positions (like shortstop) and KEEPING THE ONE YOU LIKE BEST.

VA PHIL: Brad Snyder should get some major attention starting next Friday, when he is free to sign with another MLB club (after the end of MLB Free-Agency Filing Period). Snyder could be next year's Garrett Jones (a Rule 55 minor league FA out of the Twins organization who was signed by the Pirates last off-season, and then became a contender for the 2009 N, L. Rookie of the Year Award after finally getting a chance to play regularly at the big league level).
I think the reason the Cubs Player Development people like Matt Camp so much is that he has continued to show improvement every year. He doesn't strike out much, he hit .282 and went 18-21 in SB attempts at AAA Iowa in 2009, and he has the versatility to play several different positions (2B-3B-SS-LF-CF-RF) so that he could replace two players on a 25-man roster. That's not true with Tony Thomas (strictly a 2B) and Ty Wright (strictly a LF).
Marquez Smith is an interesting player (I had him "just missing the cut" at #19 in my Cubs 2010 Top 15 Prospects), because (like Casey McGehee before him) he has been "hidden in plain view" while moving steadily through the Cubs system. He hit 278/337/457 with 15 HR and 35 doubles (ccmbined) between Daytona and Tennessee in 2009, after going 278/354/475 with 17 HR and 27 doubles (combined) between Peoria and Daytona in 2008. He will very likely be the starting 3B at Iowa in 2010. I believe he is a legitimate MLB prospect, although he will have to prove he can hit at AAA. While he is primarily a 3B, M. Smith can also play 2B. He was a college teammate of Tyler Colvin at Clemson.
Marquez Smith, Kyler Burke, Darwin Barney, Chris Archer, Brandon Guyer, Tony Thomas, Ty Wright, and Chris Huseby are the biggest names (right now, anyway) who become eligible for the Rule 5 Draft for the first time a year from now, so the Cubs will be evaluating them even more-closely in 2010 than they did previously. Look for M. Smith, Guyer, Thomas, and/or Wright to get slots in the AFL next year to help the Cubs decide whether to add them to the 40-man roster. (Barney is a virtual lock to get added, and will probably get brought up to Chicago before the end of the 2010 season). Whether Burke and Huseby get consideration depends on whether they can do at Daytona in 2010 what they did at Peoria in 2009, and Archer getting added to the 40 post-2010 will depend a lot on how he throws at Daytona, with his chances to get added increasing if he can improve his command without losing velocity (something he was unable to do at Instructs last month).
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Archer seems like a guy who, if he can't make marked improvements in his control, might get traded at the deadline in 2010 when the Cubs try to pick somebody up from a team like the Pirates. A non-contender would have an easier time making room for him on the 40-man than would a contender, and he's got enough upside to be worth taking a chance on.
Re: Granderson package
I do Barney, Cashner, and Guzman, but I hesitate to send them an MLB ready starting pitcher because the Cubs have a shortage of them now that Lilly will be on the DL. I'd also gladly make Fuld, Colvin, Hoffpauir, and Fox available.
Then again, selling high on Wells might be a good idea. I really like the guy, though.
Re: Granderson package
I'd be okay with selling high now on a guy like Wells in order to pick up a talent like Granderson (who also fits a big roster hole). I just don't know where else they are going to pick up starting pitching without spending money that they don't seem to have. If they can free up the money, I'm okay with it. (Even though I really like Wells.)
I'm not attached to Guzman anymore. He seemed to be fairly lucky this year and his injury history really worries me.
I would absolutely not sell low on either Marmol or Soto right now. A year ago we would've been talking about Marmol + a middling prospect, or Soto straight up for Granderson (I think), and in another year they might be just that valuable again.

Re: TCR Friday Notes
from CCO, reporting on the Bruce Levine taling baseball show from Saturday...
Bruce Levine mentioned the "personal problems" Aaron Miles had to deal with again last season ... and the fact he could not shake them, Levine did not go into specifics and has hinted in the past that is was a difficult divorce. Levine said the personal problem was not a death in Miles' family or a health issue.
Levine said the Cubs must move Aaron Miles and his $2.7 million contract this winter.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
I thought a more interesting quote from that link was:
"Jeff Joyce asked about Milton Bradley. Wells said, "Milton is Milton." He mentioned the fact he cannot speak for Bradley and described him as a great guy and a really good teammate.
That thing Levine said about Miles makes 0 sense. I hope he had some sort of context that they didn't relay, otherwise it's just mouthbreather stupid.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Thought there was a Sullivan (or some other Tribster) piece at the end of the season that finally confirmed that it was a difficult divorce.
...but moving Miles, that's a new angle to me. I thought the consensus was that the Cubs were stuck with him. Now that would be a difficult divorce.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Call me a pessimist, but I don't really feel that we have the combination of players and budget room to win more than 85 games next year. Regardless of what moves we make.
How many spots do you comfortable with next year? Even with Soto and Soriano bouncing back, which I do believe they will, we still have way too many holes to make a playoff run.
I say you hold on to these prospects right now and rebuild a bit. I'm a huge Lee fan, but if we can move him now I think it'd be a smart move. His production will start to decline soon if not now.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
team has 4 legit SP and 3 legit sluggers with support crew like theriot/fuku/soto.
...and the milton replacement.
the cubs have done a lot more with a lot less.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Assuming Soriano is your third "legit" slugger, that's a bold label in my eyes. I'm sure I'll eat some stats, but he's too streaky to be counted on for production.
And I agree with the SP for sure...but even that looks a lot different when it probably has no Harden and maybe has no Lilly for a little while. Does that leave Wells at 3? ... ...
We've definitely done more with less, but I think I can more assuredly say we've done less with more. (see: 2009)
Re: TCR Friday Notes
yeah, soriano...the guy who hits 30+ homers and 30+ doubles a year who for some reason has been wasted as a low-ob% leadoff guy for a few years while he tries to get more RBIs than extra base hits.
now that he's no longer being wasted in the leadoff spot he needs to quit missing 30+ games a year.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Seriously though, you want to re-build on the fly, like you're suggesting. The model should be the Red Sox, where the system provides enough pre-arb talent to afford the occasional elite free agent signing. Unfortunately, the model has been the Yankees -$65 million in payroll.
Re: TCR Friday Notes
Also, the Red Sox have that whole competent GM thing working for them

Why is that disconcerting, OB?
He was a big key to the crazy start, a big key to the end of last year, a big key in not beating the Mets (although lots of help from a tired inexperienced team there), so although the team as a whole can get through a series with a good Jake it will be tough with a bad Jake. I don't think it's realistic to have the insanely great Jake again, but maybe it is. Seeing today's box score it appears maybe it is - but I haven't been able to tune in yet.
IMO Jake is really the key to winning the World Series, but maybe I'm putting too much emphasis on one player.
The reports that they offered EITHER Jimenez or Torres for Chapman are a little disconcerting. I hope 1) Those reports are wrong, and 2) if they are not wrong, that they will hold on to him, as the team could use the outfield depth. I have only seen him in the futures game, but he looks like a keeper.
Very nice. I saw him in Lansing in May. I'm still stunned that he hit a 400-foot foul ball onto Larch Street ... which is going the other way for a right-handed batter. It was perhaps the most amazing swing I've ever seen a minor league player take. I should also mention that it was about 40 degrees out at the time. Not that it's evidence of anything per se, but I feel his plate approach is way more advanced than Soler was at this stage in his development and that the comparisons aren't really fair to Jimenez. 50/50 chance I'll go to Midland tonight for the low-A debut of Oscar de la Cruz.
Eloy Jimenez grand slam tonight. Hoping Soler power returns and gets hot but future looks bright in the outfield regardless.
Finished the night 4-5, with two doubles - 32(!) on the season - along with the grand slam. Sick
Meanwhile, out West:
SF is 2-11 since the break, lead over LA is down to one game, and they are running out Cain and Peavy this weekend against the Nats. Challenging times by the Bay.
Thanks for the updates Phil. Too bad about Frazier.
The Cubs have released RHRP Scott Frazier (2013 7th round dfraft pick - Pepperdine).
A Cubs pitching coach told me in Spring Training 2014 that he thought Frazier had the best pure stuff in the organization. Absolutely electric fastball & breaking ball combo. Other pitchers would gather behind the screen just to watch him throw "live" BP. That's how amazing he was.
Got a chance to see Diamondbacks RHSP Zack Greinke (15-day DL - strained oblique) throw a rehab start at Sloan Park Friday night. Four of the first seven AZL Cubs hitters singled and the Cubs did score an unearned run in the bottom of the 1st inning, but then Greinke got serious and struck out five in a row.
ZACK GREINKE: 3.0 IP, 4 H, 1 R (0 ER), 0 BB, 5 K, 4/0 GO/AO, 49 pitches (34 strikes)
Have fun - It may be good for Arrieta to be facing a team that doesn't know him as well as the NL teams. A nice shutout would do wonders for his confidence. He is confident in public but baseball is hard and he could use a boost, I'm sure.
Me too. I'll be at the game tomorrow and would love to see Good Arrieta.
Last few games have been the April version of the Cubs that disappeared completely the past two months.
Hope they can sustain it.
Don't sell yourself short, Judge.
I love this team.
Looks like Mother Nature is trying to call this fight.
Hey! I remember this team!

Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, a former Vatican official and now U.S. nuncio, denounced corruption in the management of the Holy See according to letters he sent the pope, the contents of which were published today in the Italian press. In the letters, Vigano reportedly said his transfer to the U.S. was a "punishment" that caused concern among others who saw an opportunity to clean up Vatican waste and corruption.

Rated 5 out of 5�by DodgersAlways Love it Not only am I a Dodgers fan, but I love my new hat! It fits perfect! The strap in the back was my biggest concern "I have a small head" but it fit perfect! Looks girly and also sporting! Great for the summer or year round. May 27, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by bitty Dodgers Sparke Hat Daughter really likes the Dodgers hat.. Quality hat with sparkling LA. January 11, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jock916 Perfect fit! The hat fits nice & snug. I'm glad the see the hat isn't glitter on the LA but sequence which makes it more durable. The writing on the side and the back of the hat is sown with a glitter stitch which really pops off the color of the hat. Good quality, great price & a very girly hat! August 13, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by Amanduh05 Cute hat I bought this hat to wear to my daughter's tball games. I love it. I get tons of compliments April 13, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by dodgersfam awesome hat! I'm loving this hat. I wanted something a little girly but not pink. I hate all the pink hats out there.. I am just not a pink girl. This totally fit the bill. I still got my dodgers blue, but with a little bling. The logo is oversized too compared to a classic Dodgers hat. The quality is above and beyond.. the sequins are put on there very well. You know how sometimes you buy something sparkly and you can tell right away the sequins arent going to stay for long.. not the case at all here. I was unsure about it when I first ordered it, but when it came I was super excited and have been wearing it ever since. If we didn't live in Giants country I'm sure I would be getting tons of compliments! April 18, 2013

Lolli pop Twilight. by joelashimselfWatch
©2012-2016 joelashimself
Oh, she's been a bad filly.
Twiliet Sparkling!
*holds fist up* YES! YES!
It's weird; to think both characters are voiced by the same person.
Sexy O_O
If those zombies had any chance before its gone now. Great work.
A always a very impressive work please keep the good work and the same on the comics
Since my weekend started i will be able to go back to the ppg cant wait for the pony comic yay
Since my weekend started i will be able to go back to the ppg cant wait for the pony comic yay
I love this. They both had the same voice. It really is quite funny actually.
I went from Megaman giving a death glare to Twilight looking like a naughty filly. Gotta love you, Joel.
My pleasure sir.
To quote my favorite pony, "I am a LADY, and I wish to be addressed as such."
Oh! My humblest apologies miss!
The internet can me such an ambiguous place.
The internet can me such an ambiguous place.
It's okay! And besides, with the brony fandom, it's easy to assume that one is of the male sex.
My wife is head over heals for pony. You women folk are a great inspiration for our creativity.
Is her look basted on another character? If so, then who?
I don't know how long the game was made but I kinda doubt it's a coinsidence Tara used EXACTLY Twi's voice. She has a crapload more voices, even ones I think would fit better to the main character. But no, she used the Twi voice.
Why do I detect a hint of G3?
Bite your tongue.
I'm not sure.
G1 was the dark one...
G1 was the dark one...
Twilight's ready to go kill some baddies dB
Why dos everyone think Twilight as her?!?
They are both voiced by the same voice actress.
Oh I know that,I'm just tired of everyone comparing Twilight to lollypop chainsaw girl.
At lest cross/compare OTHER characters to her.
At lest cross/compare OTHER characters to her.
oh my god that is right what about all the other characters Tara Strong has done? Lollipop Princess Clara isn't much (or any) of a stretch but lollipop raven, bubbles...Lollipop Timmy Turner. There is so much more mind scarring potential to be had here!
I didn't think to that extent, but it would be cool to make a sort of 'character-combo' type thing.
......as long as the 'pieces' are all female mind you.
......as long as the 'pieces' are all female mind you.
I tweeted Tara Strong your pic here
Ahahaha, I thought you'd be drawing nothing but that comic forever.
I'm not drawing it. I drew it years ago and I'm just now uploading it.
I was watching somepony play lollipop chainsaw and everytime she talked she sounded like twilight (yes, i know its tara, thats why i actually watched it)
naugty and lovely
Me encanta

Heroes, villains, martyrs and murderers are created at the bend of a knee to boxing's stubborn rule, and the 1920s busted at the seams with tropes, devices and pugilistic deus ex machinae.

Oh oh. It looks like actress and activist Daryl Hannah took her protest a little bit too far this afternoon. Police arrested the actor on the sidewalk outside the White House this afternoon while protesting the highly controversial Keystone XL Pipeline. Prior to her arrest, Hannah was heard saying the following:
"Sometimes it's necessary to sacrifice your freedom for a greater freedom. And we want to be free from the horrible death and destruction that fossil fuels cause, and have a clean energy future."
So if you have no idea what she's protesting, let me fill you in. The Keystone XL Pipeline would transport oil from Canada to Texas. So why the protest? Many fear that it will contaminate water sources, devastate ecosystems and pose as a public health risk if completed. Sounds like something worth protesting.
According NBC, Daryl Hannah was arrested with several other protesters who refused to leave the sidewalk outside of the White House despite repeated calls and warnings from the police. She was handcuffed by police but later released after posting her $100 bail. The group she was protesting with is called Tar Sands Action and say that Obama's decision to make or break the pipeline's construction plans is the most important one of his career.
This isn't Daryl's first arrest for protesting. She was arrested in 2006 when she helped protest the bulldozing of an urban community garden in Los Angeles and in 2009 for protesting against mountain-top removal in West Virginia.

I have only put on 160 miles since I installed the rotors. Only time will tell if they will hold up.They look well made. There is a left and right rotor because of the slots carved into them.

??!! Thin Deal
posted by January 29 at 12:30 PMon
Check out this banner hanging from the convenience store next to my house. It's a Washington Lottery ad that reads "Wallet-Fattening Zone." Does this strike anyone else as misleading?
Here, the State of Washington is basically promising players a hefty return. But, like gambling at casinos, the odds are against the player and generously stacked in the state's favor. So there is wallet fattening, but it's the state's wallet that gets fattened (yes, yes, the money goes to a good cause).
If a jar of multivitamins claims it can boost your immune system, the label is required to have an attention-grabbing asterisk and disclaimer that the statement hasn't been approved. (And those are wholesome goddamned vitamins!) If predatory loaners promise a low interest rate but actually bilk people out of dough, they can get prosecuted by the state. But this banner has no asterisk or warning that, for most players, it's actually a wallet-thinning zone.
So isn't this false advertising? And isn't Washington State the same entity that enforces laws against false advertising?

Wisconsin newspapers chastise employees for signing Walker recall petition
Two Wisconsin newspaper companies are upset with their employees for signing petitions to recall Gov. Scott Walker.
In recent days, both the Green Bay Press-Gazette (owned by Gannett) and the Wisconsin State Journal (owned by Lee Enterprises) have published editorials chastising some of their workers for being openly anti-Walker. The names of all petition signatories are searchable at this site.
Both companies are considering taking unspecified disciplinary action against the employees.
From the Green Bay Press Gazette:
Our journalists are expected to provide you with the clearest picture of the news as it develops -- with objectivity and impartiality. And, as readers, you must be able to trust that your newspaper is providing you the most complete picture, without bias of any kind.
In the interest of full transparency, we are informing readers today that 25 Gannett Wisconsin Media journalists, including seven at the Green Bay Press-Gazette, signed the recall petition. It was wrong, and those who signed the petition were in breach of Gannett's principles of ethical conduct.
It is little consolation to us that none of the editorial employees who signed a petition has any involvement in our news or political coverage or decides how those stories are developed and presented. None of the employees serve on the investigative team. Had they been directly involved, we would identify them.
But the fact that any of Gannett Wisconsin Media's 223 news employees did sign the petition is disheartening. It has caused us to examine how this could have happened, how we will address it and how we will prevent it from happening again. Most important is informing our readers and being as open as possible.
We now are in the process of taking disciplinary measures and reviewing supplemental ethics training for all news employees.
John Smalley, editor of the State Journal, said in an editorial he is "surprised and disappointed" to learn that staffers had signed the petition. "We apologize to our readers for the lapse in judgment by [six] staff members."
Journal photographer Steve Apps is one of the employees who signed the petition. Regarding Apps, Smalley said, "I remain confident in Steve's abilities as a photographer and a journalist. He knows he made a big mistake in signing a petition."
The Wisconsin Government Accountability Board is currently in the process of verifying over one million recall signatures. In order to force a recall election, 540,208 must be valid. Observers expect the recall election to take place this spring.

What is African Black Soap?
In West Africa, authentic black soap is known by its yoruba name, Osse Dudu. "Dudu" means the color black, which comes from the extensive "cooking" of the soap to the point of charcoal. Many cultures in West Africa use charcoal to detoxify and purify the skin, and this is an integral aspect of our true African black soap.
Furthermore, our authentic black soap is made from a centuries old recipe of handcrafted shea butter and indigenous West African palm kernel oil. Saponification is provided by adding ashes to the hot oils, then cooking the soap for six hours. The final step is to dry and cure the soap in the sun for three weeks.
The extensive cooking and curing process makes authentic African black soap mild and gentle, and is the major reason for its great popularity rise in America. The second reason is this soap's versatility. In Togo, our black soap is an "all in one" option for cleaning, and is ideal for faces and babies, shaving, shampooing, and as a general hand & body wash. Scented with invigorating peppermint essential oil.
Suggested Use
Facial Cleanser: Apply with palm or facial cloth and massage gently over skin. Rinse clean and pat dry. Follow with Alaffia Face Cream of your choice.
Body Wash: Squeeze onto a wet loofah, scrub or wash cloth and work into a lather on body. Rinse thoroughly.
Shampoo: Apply to wet hair & massage into a rich lather. Rinse thoroughly & condition with Alaffia conditioner.
Also good as: Hand soap, shaving soap, and general household cleanser.
Other Ingredients
African miner (ocimum canum) extract (aqueous), african black soap (saponified shea butter* (butyrospermum parkii) and palm kernel oil (elaeis guineensis)), lauryl glucoside, peppermint essential oil.

I have tried many brands of charcoal soap, including bar and liquid form, commercial and natural ones. I have stopped searching since finding this. I have re-ordered several times with iHerb. I use this for face and body and I believe guys with short hair can use this for hair too. With this soap, I do not need to use moisturizer on my body. Yet is is not too oily for my humid tropical weather. In fact, the addition of peppermint is really appropriate for my weather. Great product!
I like that it is in a pump bottle and that it is a multi purpose soap. I use it as a hand wash refill as well. It's not drying on skin and overall pleasant to use. Another bonus is that it's a fair trade product. Just that I am not to fond of peppermint, wish iHerb would stock the unscented version. >>>>>>> Click on my iHerb review page link above to read the rest of my product reviews. I use each and everyone of the iHerb products I bought and take time to review it properly.

This all natural, gentle soap is what I have been looking for for a long time .. I just didn't know where to find it. After the first use my girls complained of feeling sticky after washing with it, and wanted to avoid it second time round, but we quickly realised that it actually leaves a squeaky clean feeling that is 'rubbed away' when you dry yourself with a towel. So happy it rates so well on the EWG Skin Deep website and will absolutely buy again.Tangerine one is gorgeous too.

Quick tips to help keep bacteria and parasites out of your kitchen -- and your food.
Want to avoid severe diarrhea, fever, vomiting, and abdominal cramps that can span several days? Thought so. These are all symptoms of food-borne illness that can be caused by kitchen germs.
As if the thought of those kitchen germs giving you food poisoning wasn't scary enough, the CDC estimates that every year about 76 million people in the U.S. become ill from pathogens or disease-causing substances in food -- 5,000 of whom end up dying from it.
Invisible Germs in the Kitchen
The truth is you can't see or smell most of the kitchen germs that grow on your food. They don't even change the color or texture of a dish. That's one of the reasons why I am absolutely rabid about keeping the food I eat and prepare as bacteria-free as practically possible.
The way I see it there are three ways that bacteria can enter our kitchens (and therefore our mouths): before, during and after kitchen preparation and cooking:
- Before: It's contaminated before we even bring the food home.
- During: it's contaminated sometime during the preparation and cooking.
- After: it's contaminated post-preparation and/or during storage.
The good news is there are lots of ways you can prevent bacteria from growing on your food, starting with these steps.
Step 1: Keep It Clean to Control Kitchen Germs
Face it, the way our mom's generation cleaned may not be the best way to keep kitchen germs from taking over. To start with a cleaner environment, here are a few tips:
- Sponges and Towels: These kitchen helpers can provide a warm and moist environment, with lots of surface area, and they're tough to really clean and sanitize. A plastic-type scrub brush makes a good alternative, possibly resisting bacteria a bit better. If you're going to use sponges and towels, wash them weekly in very hot water.
The CDC suggests microwaving sponges each evening for 30 seconds or placing them in the dishwasher, practices that can kill more than 99% of the bacteria.
- Countertops and Tools: Before you even begin to pull the food out to prepare, make sure all utensils and countertops have been cleaned with hot, soapy water before and after use. If you want to crank the sanitizing up a notch, wash them with a diluted bleach solution of one teaspoon bleach to one quart of hot water. And if you use antibacterial wipes to clean your countertops, throw them out after one use.
- Kitchen Sinks: You know that raw meat juice that you wash off your plastic cutting board and boning knife? It travels down the sink drain and into the disposal. So it's a great idea to sanitize your sink, drain, and disposal as often as possible using a diluted bleach solution of one teaspoon bleach to one quart of hot water.


text: After two weeks of negotiations, the Federal Reserve reduced the amount of capital shortfalls facing some of the banks involved in the stress tests. Also, bank executives and government officials said the Fed's measurement of capital levels is different from and more generous than what was expected. Officials are defending the way they handled the reviews, which were warmly received by markets.
