It saying here (by Bruce Levine) is that it maybe the Minnesota Twins who put the claim on Harden.

"even more"?

 

You must not pay attention to the farm system. This year it has taken a big step forward.

 

i'm aware. i'm just saying that it's still not very good.

So what? It's gone from a bottom of the barrell system to a pretty average system in a years time. This year's picks have looked promising as well. If they can improve next year then we all of a sudden have solid to above average farm system.

 

Either way, the lone bright spot for this season is the play in the minors.

 

Please don't suck the life out of that like you do with everything else on this board.

jesus. all i said is that our farm system has gotten better, but it's not "beefed up". that's all i'm saying. it's gone from crappy to maybe average. is that not true?

 

stop looking for stuff to pick apart.

So you admit it's improved yet still complain to just to be contrary.

 

Yep, got it.

going from crappy to average is the very definition of "beefing up"

 

now do you understand

if you have to pick apart everything i say and make it into something it's not, why don't you just put me on ignore. it's really pretty simple.

"Beefing up" indicates improvement. If you're a 110 lb. weakling who works out and becomes a 160 lb. average guy, you have beefed up. Adding another 20 pounds would be beefing up "even more". If you're going to take issue with semantics, do it right.

if that's what he meant, fine. sounded like he was acting like our farm system is stacked now or something with the "even more" part.

 

if that's not what he meant, fine. i'll apologize. i don't even care. just drop it before the troops arrive and start making cool and witty comments and put words into my mouth

The Twins would be a nice fit for Harden, however, theres also the chance that they could just be blocking the White Sox and Tigers.

Or better yet we can wait for the troops to put words in your mouth.

Seems like a petty distinction to me.

 

My initial point still stands, Hendry has an opportunity to "improve" the farm system even further. I hope he takes advantage of it.

If it was the Marlins that claimed him, is there any possibility we could pry Cameron Maybin from them? I don't know if he's on the 40-man or not (I would assume he is) though.

 

Maybin's value is probably way higher than Harden's, though.

cool and witty comment

I doubt the Cubs would be able to give Maybin a position and wait until he gets it at the MLB level. Just my opinion.

[Vanilla Ice]

There is no way we get Maybin for Harden

Figured it was a pipedream. Nice to dream though.

If he has any options left he could continue in the minors like he is now. If they thought he could produce next year, though, it would allow them to look for a trade of Kosuke or Bradley.

 

Like Vanilla Ice said, though, they probably wouldn't do it anyway.
