Continuing from the last thread, the Astros should give up all their best prospects for George Kontos and Hunter Strickland. Oh and Johnny Cueto too maybe.

Dickey maybe not broken? He's pitched three pretty good games in a row. Didn't get the win yesterday but also didn't give up 2 runs an inning *AHEM*

Chief McHeath posted:I hate the "team X needs to figure things out over the all star break" crap. Last year, the Cubs had lost 9 of their last 11 games going into the ASB, then went on a 10-game winning streak shortly afterwards. It gives the players much-needed rest, something the Cubs missed a month of last season by playing into November, and it can act like a reset button.

Yeah, but isn't everybody else just as rested? What the Cubs should do is play hooky and forfeit a few games, then go on a ten game winning streak. Just repeat the cycle until they're the winningest team in baseball. Hell, why hasn't anybody else thought of this before?

Matheny remains the most strategic managerquote:In the midst of the pitching change, Mike made a double switch that - SURPRISE! - didn't make much sense. Piscotty came in to the game in the pitcher's spot, moving Jose Martinez to first base, and taking Voit out of the game. To recap: Voit, who is actually a first baseman, was removed from the game as part of a defensive switch, in favor of a man who is not actually a first baseman... Right on cue, Martinez made an error on the first ball in play.

Matheny's overwhelming quality that assures he'll be a fan favourite is that he is overtly Christian. He'll have to do something really bad like lose to the Cubs in the NLCS before people have had enough.

So, it's international signing day. Anybody else get any shiny new prospects? The Red Sox have already coughed up 6.1 mil for 3 players but I guess they're pretty good so that's cool I suppose. edit: bad math. NiceGuy fucked around with this message at 17:31 on Jul 2, 2017 |

It gives the players much-needed rest, something the Cubs missed a month of last season by playing into November, and it can act like a reset button. Last year the Cubs were very, very good before having a terrible June/early July, which was a direct result of playing something like 26 games in a row and it was very clear they were tired and needed a chance to refresh. This year the Cubs were bad to start the season, the Cubs are still bad, and I don't see how getting a couple days off is going to change that.

Not MLB but the indy league team near where I grew up had an interesting end to their international series versus the Cuban team, wherein Yoenis Cespedes' half-brother was called for interference at second, and the entire Cuban coaching staff proceeded to get ejected from the game. Final score, Rockland 6, Cuba 5, 2 outs. https://www.canamleague.tv/video/549/rockland-boulders-vs-cuba-incident

I can't keep up with the IFAs at all, at least until they're playing regularly in one of the minor league systems, but here's the BA top-50 list, along with the singing teams: http://www.baseballamerica.com/international/2017-top-50-international-prospects-signing/#jTDaiRY9kJQ1Qb8G.97 Just from scrolling, it looks pretty spread out but Sox, Yankees, and Jays look like the "big" names?

The Reds traded signing pool money for Nick Longhi, who MLBPipeline.com has as the Red Sox #9 prospect, so it looks like they'll be spenders. Longhi plays 1B/COF slashing .262/.306/.401 in AA as a 21, almost 22 year old. IIRC the Reds spent wildly last year so I like that the approach this go-round.

AL voters turned in a good All-Star ballot. OF: Judge, Springer, Trout 1B: Smoak 2B: Altuve SS: Correa 3B: Ramirez C: Perez DH: Dickerson Would have liked to see Gary at catcher, but it's not like Perez only made it because of ballot stuffing or anything.

Corey Seager is clearly the best SS in the NL but at least that one guy gets a donkey from his teammate. Never change All Star Voting. Maybe Corey will get to start the game a bunch when he's old, over the hill, and undeserving based on name recognition
