7/29 Colorado (De La Rosa) @ CUBS (Jaxon) 7:05PM WGN

Emilio has to have some value in a trade, no??

He should/probably does, but if we are going to try and win games next year and the year after he's a nice to piece to keep. Like Valbuena he probably has more value in keeping, unless someone is really willing to overpay.

 

Don't they run the risk of EB having a 2015 season like Schierholtz 2014 season? Maybe he's a good club house guy for the youngsters on the team. If so, not a bad reason to keep him, especially if he continues to be productive.

He's a FA after this season

[Cubswin11]

I did not know that.... I thought we controlled him for another year or two.

Saw Jaxon was pulled after 4 and *only* giving up 3 runs and thought maybe he was somehow traded.

 

Then I turned on the TV and saw him looking all sad in the dugout. I guess it's possible they told him he was traded and now he's sad because he's still waiting on that first hug.

Good thinking, when it's done you'll be back for the 8th and 9th.

Jaxon pitching via the re-entry rule

Bruce mentioned on Twitter that Jackson is 5 for 22 at getting a Quality Start this year. That seems more or less impossible given the run environment.

GIVE HIM AWAY PAY ALL HIS SALARY

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

I wonder if Lake can get his OBP below .200.

[DiamondMind]

nate looks like he's never seen major league pitching before

[Illini Iceman]

I bet if DeLaRosa threw him 10 straight change ups he would be way out in front every time.

It still seems like he's had a lot of hard hit balls right at guys recently.
