Random Cubs Musings

It's depressing to lose the best pure hitter in Cypress high school history.

[Sammys Boombox]

I dunno, I can't bring myself to care that Rizzo didn't win Silver Slugger, but thought it was really cool when Darwin Barney won the gold glove. Maybe I realized it was the last good thing that would ever happen to Darwin?

 

Yeah, I really don't get caught up in the GG, Silver Slugger or even MVP voting because I don't care that a bunch of people who cover baseball for a living clearly don't understand baseball.

It'd be nice to change the award committees to non-idiots so that I wouldn't have to hear people talk about how much they don't care about them. It's so much worse around HOF induction time but this hurts too.

pretty much

 

plus RBI's and playoffs helped Sammy an MVP so that was cool

Not so much caring as it is noticing.

would still love to know why the [expletive] we didn't draft matt wieters. i mean he's not been as great as i thought he'd be, but he was a sure bet to be a good catcher, which is something we could use right now.

Castillo had a higher WAR the last 2 seasons and having Wieters in 2012 would have cost us Kris Bryant

i'm sure that has nothing to do with wieters blowing out his elbow a month into the 2014 season.

So "signing player X would have cost us Kris Bryant" is the meme this off season?

The seven degrees of Kris Bryant.

i want to see if someone can go as far back to argue that alex gonzalez booting that ground ball in game six against florida, and mark prior's trek to cooperstown being derailed by a series of arm injuries, were actually good because without those things then we wouldn't have gotten kris bryant.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

not hiring dusty would have cost us bryant

[rocket]

kyle says kris bryant is going to suck anyways so why do we care

i thought the consensus around here when that draft came down was that Vitters was going to be the pick because Hendry had no money to spend on the draft.
