I'm not too surprised to see J.C. Sulbaran get his due to make 12th on our list. Despite his pedestrian-looking numbers, you have to take into account that it happened in the Cal League, and I'd expect those numbers to improve as he makes the move to Pensacola this year (yep, still not used to that).
Same names today as yesterday. Vote now.
Tucker Barnhart, C, 21, BA-UR, Sickels-#18
(Dayton) .273/.344/.387/.731, 3 HR, 43 RBI
Pros: Disciplined hitter (only 59 K in 326 AB), and was voted the best defensive catcher in the minors last year. Switch hitter.
Cons: Not a power threat, still questions as to if he'll hit in higher levels.
Donald Lutz, 1B, 23, BA-UR, Sickels-UR
(Dayton) .301/.358/.492/.850, 20 HR, 75 RBI
Pros: Lots of power, and had a breakout season this year where he started hitting for average too. German fella.
Cons: Strikeouts a major issue, and doesn't walk enough. A little old for his level after 3 years of rookie ball.
Kyle Lotzkar, RHP, 22, BA-NR, Sickels-#15
(Dayton) 4.32 ERA, 66.2 IP, 72 K, 25 BB, 1.14 WHIP
Pros: Throws 3 pitches, with a fastball in the mid-90s, a good curve and a developing changeup. Gets lots of strikeouts and doesn't allow many baserunners.
Cons: Injuries. Tommy John survivor, and his mechanics haven't changed much to help alleviate that risk.
Denis Phipps, OF, 26, BA-UR, Sickels-#20
(Carolina) .328/.382/.502/.884, 7 HR, 38 RBI
(Louisville) .380/.428/.576/1.004, 5 HR, 26 RBI
Pros: Toolsy outfielder who had a huge breakout season last year. Can play all outfield positions. On the 40-man roster.
Cons: Only one good season. Still kind of old to be a "prospect", so he's more of a late bloomer. Plate discipline is still pretty awful, and had a high BABIP last year.
Gabriel Rosa, 3B, 18, BA-UR, Sickels-#17
(AZL Reds) .245/.314/.406/.719, 2 HR, 10 RBI
Pros: Good speed on the basepaths, and scouts love his plate approach.
Cons: Rookie debut wasn't spectacular, still a very raw talent.
Josh Smith, RHP, 24, BA-UR, Sickels-UR
(Dayton) 2.97 ERA, 142.1 IP, 166 K, 33 BB, 1.09 WHIP
Pros: Struck out a lot of hitters last year, was the ace for a playoff team.
Cons: According to most scouting reports, doesn't really project as anything other than a back-of-the-rotation starter at best. Low 90s fastball, and his out pitch is a breaking ball that could get exploited by better hitters at higher levels.
David Vidal, 3B, 22, BA-UR, Sickels-#13
(Dayton) .280/.350/.498/.848, 20 HR, 85 RBI
Pros: Very lively bat, hitting for both average and power. Good defense.
Cons: Still questions about his size (he's listed at 5'11"), and struck out way too much (111 in 454 AB).

travel channel (or food network, or discovery channel or history channel)
had something about the 5 pound gummy bear a little over a year ago. so i bought one for my super bowl party last year. and i signed up up for the newsletter from the website. a month or two ago they announced the 26 pound version. i had a couple of coworkers buy part of it to help ease the $150 cost. but it qualifies for free shipping!

I worked at a grocery store in HS, and the workplace was what one would call "lax"
One day a guy was taking his lunch break, eating and watching TV in the very small break area. He had his back to the door. One of the biggest practical jokers came up behind him and said, “Hey Scotty, how do ya feel about a dick in the ear?”. Scott replied, “Sure Terry, I’d love that” while never flinching or turning around. Terry then stuck his peter in Scotty’s ear and lulz were had for miles around.

I know they use Krispy Kreme donuts.
If they are buying them at store value instead of in bulk, they still need to make a profit off them. Also, the one on Court St. is small and 13 of those things take up damn near the whole grill so I can see “labor” being added on. Not saying you’re wrong about the price but they have to make a profit.
I’m also guessing $30 keeps away a LOT of people from trying it. If it was $20 I could see a ton of people attempting it. I know that sounds silly but a 10-buck swing could be a big deal to some folks.

I think that's a problem with the prospectors
rather than the player. He wasn’t drafted and he never showed any power, so (I’m guessing) most folks dismissed him. Go back and take a look at his minor league numbers. How do you think prospect evaluators would have rated him if he had been a good defensive SS instead of a good defensive catcher?
by Charlie Scrabbles on Jan 19, 2012 11:31 AM EST up reply actions
He would have been much more thought of as a SS.
Most people expect catchers to hit for more power. Hanigan had some good numbers, but he did bounce around a bit in the minors.

That's my point
The archetypical SS is not a power hitter, but the archetypical catcher is. Though they likely provide very similar defensive value, very different things are expected of them offensively. This was the pigeonhole that Hanigan fell into.
by Charlie Scrabbles on Jan 19, 2012 12:06 PM EST up reply actions
Which is funny,
because catchers generally can’t hit at all. But we generally think thick dude = slugger, so we get upset when they’re not.

I just saw this on mlbtraderumors.com...
I didn’t realize that the Reds are one of just 11 teams that haven’t signed a free agent to a multi-year deal yet this winter. Considering the makeover that this team has gotten, and the risk associated with many multi-year deals, this is remarkable on Walt’s part.
Trying to pull off "having no money and talking to no one" as well as the Reds have.
the only multi-year FA deal in recent memory the Reds have signed
is Cairo’s 2 year, $2 million deal. The rest were all just extensions or 1 year deals.
It’s a pure byproduct of having had really, really solid drafts for years (and making shrewd trades for Arroyo, BP, and Rolen.)

Latos
Leake
LeCure
Madson
Marshall
Masset
Ondrusek
This assumes guys like Judy and Brackman don’t make the roster.
Could Ondrusek or LeCure actually start the year in Louisville? They have options…

I think you have to at least commit to a full-on attempt. In 2010, they got intoxicated with his stuff in the midst of the first division title since the last ice age. I think they can look at it a bit more objectively this time around. If he totally sucks, stick him back in the pen towards the end of the year, but if I’m in charge, I give him a looooong look
Fuck lion say what! i got a fuck lion now come fuck wit me
exactly.
You just don’t commit (at least) $30 million to a guy who you just give up on as a starter.
I’d be willing to bet there’s no way Yu Darvish ends up in the Rangers’ bullpen at any point this season. They’re going to give him every chance to be a successful starter, and since the Reds have much more leeway in effectuating Chapman’s development they should, too.
Tequila and pancakes, anyone?
by Kevin Mitchell is Batman on Jan 19, 2012 12:32 PM EST up reply actions
it's kind of apples and oranges with Darvish and Chapman (or lychees and plantains, if we're being geographically correct)
but I agree wholeheartedly with your overall point. I’d even be OK with starting LeCure for a month if it meant Chapman figures out how to repeat his delivery, and maybe refines that changeup with Mr. Soto.
Fuck lion say what! i got a fuck lion now come fuck wit me
It's a bit of a stretch I know.
But if Darvish comes out walking 6 per 9 with a 5.50 ERA, you know he’s still going to be in the rotation.
Tequila and pancakes, anyone?
by Kevin Mitchell is Batman on Jan 19, 2012 1:45 PM EST up reply actions
yeah, that much is certainly true
I was thinking more along the lines of stuff. Darvish throws like 7 pitches, supposedly, and Chapman’s got 2.5
Fuck lion say what! i got a fuck lion now come fuck wit me
That's also true
But I’d go as far as to say there’s not another pitcher anywhere with a better fastball than Chapman, and if he could ever learn to locate that with any consistency, his slider is plenty good enough to be one of the best around.
Tequila and pancakes, anyone?
by Kevin Mitchell is Batman on Jan 19, 2012 4:02 PM EST up reply actions
There might be a better fastball out there
depending on what you mean by “better.” Not a faster one, that I’m pretty sure of.

It seems to be a thing with knuckleballers
Their fastballs are very effective because it’s so hard for hitters to adjust.
by Charlie Scrabbles on Jan 19, 2012 7:34 PM EST up reply actions
Understandable.
A bunch of pitches in the 60’s will lull an MLB batter to sleep- to one of these guys that looks like a slow speed softball pitch. Then the fastball comes in, and even if it’s only high 70’s it can throw them off.
Now that isn’t as easy to explain with Dickey, who throws his knuckle ball nearly as hard as his fastball. I guess maybe they get used to looking for the strange ass movement in addition to the slow velocity? I can’t speak from experience because I only played baseball through, like, three years of kids pitch and the only knuckleballs I’ve ever tried to hit were thrown with a wiffle ball.

Avery, Odell, New Belgium, Oskar Blues, Left Hand, Boulder and Great Divide are all better than Breckenridge.

I agree with five of those.
1. Left Hand
2. Avery
3. Great Divide
4. New Belgium
5. Odell
Never had anything from Oskar Blues. I’ve tried Hazed and Infused, Mojo and Cold Hop all from Boulder. Didn’t like them much so that’s why I’d put Breck ahead of Boulder.
I always ask people about Breck because there seems to be a violent reaction to it (in both directions) that I’ve never understood.

I'll have to ask my friend about a recording.
One of the guys is dead, and he had the fancy equipment at the time. He was in a band in Atl called Toenut that was doing quite well at the time. The lyrics that I recall ran like this:
(Slow acapella barbershop style) “Weeeeeeel iiiiiiiiiiiit”
(Suddenly sped up with drum machine banjo and accompaniments) "It puts the fucking lotion in the bas-ket. It puts the fucking lotion in the bas-ket. Or it gets… the hose…. again.
(Beat of silence, MC Charlie Feathers stoking a stuffed poodle says unaccompanied in bass): “Yes it does Precious, it gets the hose again.”
(Suddenly sped up again with drum machine banjo and accompaniments): It does this when it’s fucking to-old. It does this when it’s fucking to-old. Or it gets… shot in…. the head.
(Beat of silence, MC Charlie Feathers stoking a stuffed poodle says unaccompanied in this time a playful whimper): “Yes it does Precious, it gets shot in the head.”
It goes on for a while. Can’t remember the rest. Folks either thought we were hilarious, or absolutely, positively hated us. And that was before I sang the one that I penned: “The Date Rape Song.” I remember all of the lyrics to that one.

The Date Rape Song
was an intro of waves crashing an then a Babyface meets Lionel Richie type jam, with me out in front. The boys hung back and i proceeded with:
“Baby let me unzip your coat.
Have a seat on the couch.
Maybe a little shoulder rub.
It’ll work itself right ouuuuuuuuut.
That’s just the nature of love. Ooooh yeah.”
(At which point the other two fellas chime): “That’s just the nature of love. That’s just the nature of love. That’s just the nature of love.” (All the while rolling their hands in a coordinated dance move that was a cross between the 4 Tops and Dusty Rhodes before he threw an elbow drop.)

They are both.. as Marty might say, "good old good ones."
I must highly recommend the new one. Not just because I am a certified Coen Brothers geekfan (and have been so for almost twenty-five years) and I am obligated to recommend it. But because ‘True Grit’ is probably their most accessible film and I know that many non-believers are always looking for that one film of theirs to get them in and (maybe) get them hooked. (Note: Don’t try this with ‘A Serious Man’)
For the most part (though not entirely) they really turned down the smarm with ‘True Grit’ and they just let it be a movie instead of twisting and pulling it into the form of a Coen Brothers movie. And the movie that they let it be happens to be a really good/almost great/maybe-not-quite-classic Western.

They're both great. It depends on the type of story you like.
If you like the book and the story being from the child’s point of view the new one is better. If you prefer a movie from Cogburn’s view, it’s the old one. Both are sweet.

I thought Glen Campbell was pretty good in the old one
He didn’t. He said he sucked, and never acted again. But I thought he was fine.
And jeez, he was kinda cute when he was young. Who’d have guessed?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I think it's less about 'the child's point of view' then it is about judging Cogburn (and many/most legends) for yourself.
I just watched it and was (again) struck by the manner in which he was introduced to the audience.. a US Marshall unseen in an outhouse … a wooden box, get it? (. …Immediate cut to the coffin by the way). His unique dialogue has drawn you in. You want to know this clever ‘Rooster’ but you’re unable to actually see him until well into the following courtroom scene. Even then he is bathed in pure white light but at the same time squared off and bound by his pitch black suit and further obscured by his eyepatch. He’s ‘on trial’ and he’s already told you his version of his story (and you’re captivated) before you ever get this ‘black versus white’ shot of him. Now, he here is… What do you think of him? And then as soon as you decide that you like him, that you’re investing in him and that yes, you’ll ride with him… Yoink.. You’re sat up and spun around and reminded that our nation’s collective history is very very grey.

While I don't disagree. My point was that this isn't Cogburn's journey. It's very clear that he is a hired gun.
The journey, the path, the destruction is all Mattie’s. She’s the one that pushes the Coen’s film. In the original, Mattie is the helpless girl being protected by Rooster. He’s her guardian, it’s his duty to bring her justice. The 2010 version is very much flip-flopped. She drives the narrative (hell, she’s the narrator), she’s willing to do anything to make sure criminals are punished. In many ways, I think she’s the more grey of the two characters even though she sees justice as very black and white. She chose Cogburn because he’s ruthless. She had the means to pick anyone. She could fire him if she wanted. She doesn’t. She’s the movies rage. He’s her way of releasing it. There are no innocents in this movie. I think that’s why I prefer it.

I also just saw that Roger Deakins didn't win best cinematography for True Grit.
I loved Inception, but man, fuck that bullshit. Wally Pfister’s good but Deakins eats his lunch.

True Grit made me really want to go to Arkansas, purely out of cinematography.
If that’s not a win, I don’t know what is.

Graham:: No, I thought you brought them!
MBP: Why the fuck would I bring them?
Graham: I don’t know, don’t you have to be 25 to buy those?
MBP: No, you asshole, that’s running for president
Graham: Hey, don’t take that tone with me!

Heyhey! Excellent.
I’ve convinced the three other known Red Reporters in the 614 (and another guy from Powell) that we should regularly drink and watch the Reds at Barley’s Smokehouse on 33 this Spring.
Come join us. We’ll enjoy some bourbon and also whatever you grew up drinking in Jackson. (I don’t know what they drink there but I do know they dance on pony kegs?)
