Kyle Hendricks

[theberserkfury]

Hey man, I'm tired of these fools just blindly calling Cubs fans names. Who the **** are they. I guarantee if we were all standing in front of each other, the ****** wouldn't open his mouth! Yeah, I'm a little worked up, cuz this idiot wants to calling me fuckin names.

The fuckin guy is a Saints fan, WTF is he doing here anyways?

Silence is definitely a Cubs fan, Bear... there are other people here who are way more worthy of your contempt...

Let's all be friends, guys.

Is apple juice in the sippy cup? If so I'll gladly drink it

Oh, I never said he wasn't. If the MF'er stops saying shit like calling me an "over emotional" Cubs fan, you won't hear a peep outa me.

[Bear Pride]

first off moron I am not one to defend silence but I have been here a lot longer than anyone except the owners, you my friend all of a sudden started posting in here, most being dumb posts calling people cunts without a drop of wisdom or knowledge of your team.

I do troll in here and mess with some of the cubs fans but I also sit back and just read posts. I dont always agree with silence but he has been more consistent with his opinions and facts and has been around the cubs forum posting more quality than you could ever do.

trolling silence is fun because he puts up decent debates as for you, well all i get is "yo mammas so fat she uses a vcr as a pager" type rebuts.... than again that is probably the wrong line of sarcasm as you are probably too young to know what a pager or a vcr is. but hey, enjoy your stay and keep posting irrelevant non sense....It makes me smile.

Here's an interesting thought. According to mlb.com Hendricks is the 19th best cubs prospect.

http://mlb.com/mlb/prospects/watch/y2014/#list=chc

Think about that for a minute. Obviously, the ranking is probably low for the way he's pitched and is more on his overall stuff but that sort of depth is pretty crazy.

It just shows you that the rankings are severely overvalued and/or misunderstood.

Perhaps miunderstood. This is why when I do the prospect topics I look at actual numbers because scouting is almost always based on tools. Still, to say there's 18 guys more talented than Hendricks is kind of absurd.

Aww Dews, I didnt know you cared! :lol:

I dont know about all that. I think people need to know the scout. Scouts put more emphasis to certain aspects then others. There are scouts who will always value overall tools then polish at certain points in there career. They are some who play it safe and like high floor, low ceiling guys. I, which I am no scout, put more emphasis on stuff and potential over guys I know will be average ML players. Scouts explain their thinking and say what they look for more. People just need to read it more.

As far as Hendricks, my personal opinion is he is a 5ish type of starter. He has to keep pin point control to be effective. He will not get away with mistakes. This is why I try to tell people to temper there expectations. He is doing well so far, but it means very little. Being effective the first go around the league happens more often then people think. Its when players see a pitcher 2 or 3 times is when they start to get a beat on him. A lot more film is giving to the player and they will have tendencies for the pitcher. Could he better? Yea, but I dont think so. I may be wrong. Wont be the first or last time I am wrong, but I have to see him do it when batters have faced him a couple of times. Its why I didnt like the whole Maddux comparison that some people took to heart.

Hey Man, he said something to me about being here longer than myself. I pointed out that my join date was earlier than his. I too, sometimes just read the posts. If you can't stand the facts, then stay out of the convo! :dunno:

I guess it wouldn't be crazy then to expect similar, and even better performance from all the other higher rated prospects for the Cubs. Isn't it exciting, as a Cubs fan, to see one of the top prospects (core 4) play his first MLB game today!
