Did he have a pretty big drop in velo? Dude was nails last year. Probably overachieved quite a bit last year. Secondary stuff doesn't seem to have the same stuff. Velocity is still there, really only a minor difference (talking about a tenth of a MPH) in velocity from last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately this just bungles up the roster construction even more without any other corresponding moves (aka, shipping someone out for good) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately this just bungles up the roster construction even more without any other corresponding moves (aka, shipping someone out for good) Definitely agree about the interesting timing. It appears they DFA Eric Fryer, which means Kelly is our new backup C. I figured they'd give him the rest of the year in Memphis to at least get him consistent at-bats. The first few weeks that Kelly is up here, we'll probably get a better feel where they think he is on the developmental curve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttitansfan4life Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Still trying to do something with Grichuk. When will they realize he's trash? What's the plan with Kelly? Have him on the bench until Yadi needs a day off every 5th day or so? Doesn't really make much sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco was at best going to be a BP arm, and I like the things I am hearing about O'Neill. Even if TON never amounts to anything, getting that type of talent puts us in a better situation moving forward because Marco was blocked as a SP Edited July 21, 2017 by StLunatic88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holt_bruce81 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Quote viva el birdos @vivaelbirdos 7h7 hours ago More Crazy stat on the Cubs broadcast. Cardinals spent 37 (I think) days below .500 from 2008-2016. That number is 72 just this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like most prospects that don't "look" like a typical player, people have him all over the map. I'd like to see him play before ranking him that highly. What I do like is how highly KATOH ranks him.
