from Will Carroll's latest.. It's not often that I have to wonder whether I can actually describe an injury on the radio. When I was talking to Dave Kaplan on WGN the other night, I actually had to ask "Can I say 'twisted testicle' on the air?" Answer? Yes. Do I ever want to? No. Pie has a problem that is, as you'd expect, exceptionally painful, but not a long-term concern. How it happened is unclear, but it's luckily an uncommon problem in men. Usually, the problem will correct itself, but sometimes, it has to be--you guessed it--untwisted with "surgical or manual methods." Try not to imagine it and know that Pie isn't going to miss much time. This little twist in his spring training shouldn't decide whether or not he gets the starting nod in center field

"We're not going to leave resources that would go into the payroll and go into our restoration plans on the table to appease people who say, 'I don't think you should do it.'" Jesus fuck, that makes me want to strangle Crane Kenney. The Trib selling the naming rights has fuck all to do with payroll or restoration plans; they'll be long out of the picture when any restoration begins and they'll probably be gone before another payroll is set. This is PURELY about pumping up the volume of Wrigley Field so they can coerce a higher price from the State in a rigged frigging deal that those of us in Illinois are going to have to pay for. FUCK.

"and to make matters worse he was a left fielder, delivering meager run production from a position that really can't afford that luxury." sigh... its so not 1960 anymore. we have SS and CF who hit for power and C's who hit for ob%/avg. the sum of your team is worth more than looking at any position and its batting strength. reminds me of an "argument" i had with someone who was claiming Ichiro in RF is useless while Ichiro in CF was a plus...based on things that have absolutely nothing to do with his glove, what his teammates were doing, or the fact that what some other RF does with a bat has nothing to do with what Ichiro does with a bat. its time to let that argument die a long overdue death.

Well, the argument is correct, but the application of it in this case isn't very good. Not even counting non-stolen base baserunning, Coleman had a better years in Left than Manny Ramirez put up last year, according to BP. Coleman batted leadoff and played left field for the '85 Cards. He wasn't a very good OBP guy, but he was an outstanding defender (ET McGhee played center) and he was a terror on he basepaths. That Cards team had about 60 fewer errors than their competition. He had a bad season in 1994, but the next season he rebounded to a respectable .348 OBP. One of the things that this type of statistical review trivializes is the manager's decision process. It's not what Coleman did for the first half of 1994 that made a difference to the manager on July 6th when he was filling out his lineup card. It's what the manager expected Coleman to do on July 6th.

    AZ Phil:
    Rookie ball (ACL) starts on May 4th. Do yo think Ramon and Rosario (maybe Delgado) stay in Mesa for the month of May, then go to MB if all goes "solid"?

    masterboney is a luxury on a team that has multiple, capable options for 2nd, SS, and 3rd without him around.  i don't hate the guy, but if madrigal is sticking around then masterboney is expendable.

    I THINK I agree with that decision. They committed to Wicks as a starter and, while he hasn’t been stellar I don’t think he’s been bad enough to undo that commitment.

    That said, Wesneski’s performance last night dictates he be the next righty up.

    Quite the dilemma. They have many good options, particularly in relief, but not many great ones. And complicating the situation is that the pitchers being paid the most are by and large performing the worst - or in Taillon’s case, at least to this point, not at all.

    Wesneski and Mastrobuoni to Iowa

    Taillon and Wisdom up

    Wesneski can't pitch for a couple of days after the 4 IP from last night. But Jed picked Wicks over Wesneski.

    booooooooooo

    also, wisdom and taillon are both in chicago.

    Tonight’s game postponed. Split games on Saturday.

    cubs getting crazy good at not having player moves leak.

    taillon we 100% know is pitching tonight.  who he's replacing and any additional moves are unknown as far as i can tell.

    p.wisdom was not in today's lineup in iowa (rained out) and he was removed from the game last night mid-game, but not for injury.  good bet he's with the team in the bigs, too.

    A good rule of thumb is that if you trade a near-ready high ceiling prospect, you should get at least two far-away high ceiling prospects in return.  Like all rules-of-thumb, it depends upon the specific circumstances, but certainly, we weren't going to get Busch for either prospect alone.

    Right on schedule, just read an article in Baseball America entitled "10 MLB Prospects Outside The Top 100 Who Have Our Attention".  Zyhir Hope was one of the prospects featured. It stated that he's "one of the biggest arrow-up sleeper prospects in the lower levels right now."

     

    Not sharing to be negative about the trade, getting a top 100 prospect who is MLB ready should carry a heavy prospect cost.  But man, Dodger sure are good at identifying and developing young talent. Andrew Friedman seems to have successfully merged Ray's development with Yankees financial might to create a juggernaut of an organization.

    I suspect Brown will spend some time in the bullpen due to inning restrictions.  Pitched only 93 innings last year and career high is 104 innings in 2022.  I would expect them to be cautious with a young player with his injury history.
