Looper wants to pitch for Cubs

[Schwarber Fan]

Braden Looper tells Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports that he would pitch for the Cubs. Looper says they're an "appealing" destination, partly because he has three kids going to Chicago schools. Still, the 35-year-old wouldn't mind pitching elsewhere. "I'm going to look around and see what my options are," Looper said.

no thanks

He should pitch for the White Sox, then.

[Guancous]

Good for Looper. I want to pitch for the Cubs too. For the better of the Cubs, I hope he doesn't get signed either.

oh god.

[Post Count Padder]

For the love of God no

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Braden and I have that in common.

[Sammy Sofa]

I really hope the Cubs check the "NO" box before they pass the note back to Looper.

Some moron out there will give him way more money than he deserves because he went 14-7 last year, while completely overlooking the 5.22 ERA and 1.49 WHIP. I hope this moron is not Jim Hendry.

Looper is not an attractive player at this point.

[Rob]

If he's willing to pitch in middle relief (with a chance at a swingman role) at or around league minimum, that's a great idea.

 

But he'll want to start, or at least have a significant role in a bullpen. And he'll want to be paid a few million bucks for it.

 

Pass.

[Andy]

Of course he does, he probably knows the history of crappy middle relievers' pay here on the North Side. DO NOT WANT

He's not very good either

Should I email a news source and tell them I want to pitch for the Cubs too? I totally live right around the block so it would be convenient for me, probably more so than Looper.

[A New Era]

Tell Looper he can take is fat grinning ass elsewhere.

[danonwaveland]

Maybe he should consider transferring his kids to schools in another city.

Please no. PLEASE.

I'll pitch for the Cubs for 1/10th of what they'd pay Looper. I'm probably a better pitcher for the money, too.

[Wheelimus]

We're all as equally qualified for the job that Looper is most qualified for. Cubs batting practice pitcher.
