    Thanks as always for the info. Coello sounds worth the trade, then? Haven't seen Trey McNutt listed as throwing any BP yet.

  • Jim Hickmans Bat 13 years 2 months ago (view)

    Didn't say Archer isn't a legit prospect, I said that I think McNutt is a better one. If the Cubs were given the choice between the two to do the Garza trade, I think the Cubs made the right decision. We'll see if they're right soon enough.

  • Rob G. 13 years 2 months ago (view)

    I'm more curious why people harp on this
    No matter how many guys he K's or home runs he doesn't allow, if he's putting 5 guys per 9 innings on base, it'll get worse in the majors and he'll be pitching out of the stretch too much and throwing too many pitches to be an effective starter.
    if he can't be a starter, he's not as good a prospect

  • Dusty Baylor 13 years 2 months ago (view)

    I'm more curious why people harp on this....like he's a 26 year old no prospect who jsut went 10-10 in Hi-A ball? He improved in Peoria in 2009...he improved last year. Shock, he regressed a little in AA, but overall he improved. The Cubs have the depth to not miss Archer terribly...but sheesh....he's not Reggie Patterson or Derek Botelho either....the kid has skills.

  • The Real Neal 13 years 2 months ago (view)

    Zambrano as a 20 year old in AAA - 2.28 Dempster as a 21 year old in AA/AAA 2.11 Garza as a 21 year old in RK/A 4.24, but he gave up 8 HR's in 76 innings (Archer's given up 6 HR's in his last 251 innings).

  • Dusty Baylor 13 years 2 months ago (view)

    I am....because that's all we have to compare, for Archer. also...Dempster at 20-21, and Zambrano at 20-21...weren't much better than Archer is you look at their numbers. I'm saying, I'll take a pitcher...who might walk a few more guys, but who will not give up the long ball, and won't give up a bunch of hits. I'm also saying that it's not like Archer is 26 and doing this....he turns 22 this season. He also isn't striking out 110 walking 90.....then I'd be more worried.

  • Rob G. 13 years 2 months ago (view)

    you asked why people were worried about his control and then brought up all the reasons beyond his control on why he's good, that no one really brought up or is arguing about. I generally never look at H/9 myself, too many factors in there out of the pitchers control. Usually stick to BB, K and HR rates. No matter how many guys he K's or home runs he doesn't allow, if he's putting 5 guys per 9 innings on base, it'll get worse in the majors and he'll be pitching out of the stretch too much and throwing too many pitches to be an effective starter. He may continue to improve, he may not...life of a prospect. The concerns over his control though are very legit, whether they come to fruition is why we watch and why they play the games.

  • tim815 13 years 2 months ago (view)

    Not saying he won't be good. You were comparing big league numbers to minor league numbers.

  • Dusty Baylor 13 years 2 months ago (view)

    Of course, Rob....let's also consider that he gives up fewer hits/9 innings too...and that he's only 21. Would you rather have a guy who walks fewer people, but gives up more hits? Archer also only gave up 6 HR in 142 innings last season, and 0 in 109 innings at Peoria the year before. And I'd take a regression like that in AA: 70 innings, 2HR allowed, 48 hits, 67K/39BB. ..which is a regression from his time at Daytona... 8-2 with a 1.80 ERA. His K/BB the last 2 seasons is 2.05. He's 22 this season. Again, I like Garza, I think the Cubs have prospects to deal with trading Archer....but with all the pitching talent the Rays have developed, do you think they're not seeing something in Archer?

  • Dusty Baylor 13 years 2 months ago (view)

    So? All we have is the body of work, that he has pitched so far. He's also 21 years old. He pitched 142 innings, and gave up only 102 hits to go with his walks, a 1.173 WHIP Silva's K/BB ratio is stellar, but his career record is 70-70. His career WHIP is 1.373. So he doesn't walk a lot of guys, but he gives up a bunch of hits? Zambrano's K/BB ratio in the minors? 1.77 Dempster's? 2.44 Heck the kid misses bats. He doesn't give up a ton of hits, and he seems to be improving.

  • Rob G. 13 years 2 months ago (view)

    might want to look at the BB/9 of those guys in the minors and then look at Archer's career and then back at those guys, then back at Archer... he did improve last year, although regressed with the move to AA

  • tim815 13 years 2 months ago (view)

    That is the minor leagues, though

  • Dusty Baylor 13 years 2 months ago (view)

    I hear a lot about Archer needing to harness his control issues... He K'ed 149, and walked 65 last year. 2.29 K/BB ratio Dempster 2010: 2.42 Dempster Career: 1.83 Zambrano 2010: 1.70 Zambrano Career: 1.88 Garza 2010: 2.38 Garza Career: 2.23 This isn't like he K'd 125, walked 90.... Wells 2010: 2.29 Wells Career: 2.22 Silva 2010: 3.33 Silva Career: 2.33

    Lee #92 BA and Arizona Phil are clearly not on the same page.

  • Jim Hickmans Bat 13 years 2 months ago (view)

    Pssst...........I like McNutt better than Archer, and I think I'm not the only one. Archer has tremendous upside if he can ever harness his control, but does that EVER happen for a pitcher at this stage of his development? If he needs to become a reliever as a result, his value his much less. That's why I think McNutt deserves the nod, I'm glad the Cubs chose him over Archer if the Rays gave them that choice. Vitters not ranked anymore, telling.......

    Well, Castro isn't going to take too many days off, and Barney can back up DeWitt and Ramirez, at least long enough for a Smith to come up from AAA.
