Jose Rosario. RT @mikemicetic: @Kevin_Goldstein who is your sleeper prospect for the cubs?


Kinda surprising for some reason.

Shouldn't be. He saw Rosario live in one of his best outings. That said, it's a good call anyway.

Looks like rehabbing Justin Berg would be in line for the start in the AZL.

One thing we haven't really discussed with Brett so far this year is the drop in his walk rate. He's not down to Vitters/Lake levels of walking, but he's certainly off his normal pace.

Kinda go hand-in-hand. If he's swinging and missing at bad pitches, then he's not taking them. I think the crazy thing is that he's still walking in 10% of his PAs (which is the benchmark for patience) and is ripping the cover off the ball whenever he does make contact.

I wasn't aware that being bad was something that could be fixed via rehab.

Maybe you could all start moaning about how it always rains in Tennese and they need to move the team.

Come now, the number of rain outs in the FSL are far greater than Tennessee and the rest of the SL.

Thats true I just hate the thought of them leaving FL, like having a team here. It's really not as bad as people make it out to be down here, some years worse than others.

I'd guess not but he's close. Don't like the strikeout rate at that low a level and there are some major questions about how likely he'll stick at 3B. I should formally do a top 30 but I'm waiting for the signing deadline next Friday.

Sounds like a plan to me.

Raisin, I traded Matt Moore/Shane Victorino for Bauer/Hosmer in a keeper league. Good move?

I'm thinking Bauer's division alone makes it a good deal. And Victorino is about to plummet value wise.
