According to this dude anyway, he loves all things Gator. Get to play for the team you love? I guess $300K is the tipping point for a high school kid. |

Maness would actually be a good comp pick if you look at the average WAR each slot turns out.

It's a reasonable 'floor' to put on him. Ultimately every pitchers floor is 'arm flies off mid-pitch and he bleeds out on the mound' but it's fair to put something of a worst case major leaguer floor on him as well. With a heavy fastball and good command, reasonable development makes him Maness. But remember, Lance Lynn gets by on nothing but a heavy fastball and good command. So if I'm talking upside, I'm looking at Lance Lynn. There's a way of grading prospects where you put both a players 'realistic potential' and their odds of getting there. So for instance, a guy like Bryce Harper would have come out of the draft getting a 10.0(A) - generational talent and a high likelihood of reaching it. Carlos Correa would have probably been seen as a 9.0(B); he was less of a sure thing but considered almost as talented as a guy like Harper. With Woodford, I think you're looking at a 7.0(C) as opposed to Plummers 8.0(D). Now the Cards know WAY more about pitching than I do (though I've generally had a pretty good eye for arm), so maybe they see him as having a higher ceiling than I do. I'd almost think they'd have to or I don't understand why they'd go over slot for him. |

Belisle to the DL with elbow inflammation and Marcus Hatley called up. The parade continues.

With Holliday coming back, is anyone gonna be shocked when we see less Bourjos and a platoon of jay and grichuk?
Maybe we can send jay to Atlanta for a fungo and a bucket of balls? |

I still say we can catch LaRussa in a moment of weakness and send him Jay for Archie Bradley.

Batting Kozma because he is RH? WTF kind of logic is that? He is hitting .140. I bet Wong is hitting way above that against LH pitching.
