Jefferson Rojas is slashing .328/.364/.492 (134 wRC+) with a 16.7% K% as an 18-year-old in High-A.
You're going to want to start getting him on your prospect lists now so you don't look stupid later.
@WCWLion@simongerman600 I thought the same thing. One trip to Wikipedia later, turns out Scrooge adopted her and also she is his clone and also that’s not her real name.
Can we admit that the Ricketts are not good owners and only look good because of how absurdly awful the previous owners were yet?
No?
Ok. I’ll check back in a few more years.
I try to do one of these for teachers every year, so here we go:
Post your Amazon classroom wishlists here! I’ll help out with as many as I can, and hopefully other folks will be able to chip in too.
It’s crazy that this is how you all have to supply your classrooms.
Turning Velazquez into a reliever beyond this season - exactly the sort of deal I was hoping for. Cubs OF is very crowded right now. This is classic trading from depth.
The irony in Candelario coming back on an expiring contract for a reliever is not lost on me.
I like this move a lot better than the one that sent him out.
@Booker__Leslie Close. They paid as much as a small house to get in an under tested submarine that had no basic safety features and was controlled by a mediocre wireless game controller all so they could look at grainy pictures on small screens.
The Cubs have a farm system and need a bullpen.
When they deal PCA for a lefty specialist who only throws twelve innings the rest of the year, I’m blaming you.
It is possible to think the Cubs are really a .500ish team and also be extremely annoyed that bad roster and game management cost them winnable games this week.
If we get to early May and Hosmer is starting every day at first with a wRC+ of 35 while Mervis is in Iowa sporting a 206, then I’ll agree the Cubs have a problem at first. But that problem still won’t be the Mancini signing.
@Crewsett And if you celebrate well enough, you’ll anger stupid old dudes, get a free base, and maybe get an opposing pitcher and manager ejected as well. It’s a win that keeps on winning.
I need every single baseball team in the world - from MLB to little league, from USA to the Czech Republic - to do these homerun celebrations. Hitting a homer is cool as hell and it should never be treated as “something you’ve done before”
