If #Cubs get Lester, industry source says next move would be to pursue big bat and try to accelerate revival. A bat in addition to Montero.

 

Huh? Mother [expletive] [expletive] get Lester

[Butterscup1679666578]

not getting my hopes up

So get Lester to say yes, pull the trigger on Montero, sign Headley, tell Bryant to get an outfielder's glove, go to the playoffs. Ship off Jackson and Wood and that team runs about 105 million.

It's what Boston Theo would have done.

I hope Headley isn't considered a "big bat." I hope we're talking more in Kemp, Upton or (please, please) Harper territory

YES.

 

I want #fumtr to be a thing.

Jay Bruce sounds pretty good. He'd still probably require a bit of a haul, but the price should be way down after his horrible 2014.

Apparently Jocketty said they'd have to be "blown away" to deal Bruce. This is clearly executive speak, but I don't think they're of a mind to sell low on him.

Wow, what the hell happened to Bruce last year?

I wonder if Alcantara,Edwards,McKinney would be too much. Alcantara takes over for the ghost of Brandon Phillips, Edwards fills the many holes that Leake/Cueto/Latos will leave in the 2016 rotation and McKinney could be the RFer of the future.

What about Zobrist?

[Guest]

please just get a lester

[Tryptamine]

What about Zobrist?

 

Where does he play? Valbuena is already doing the utility infielder thing and as long as Baez is on the team he's going to be starting.

Kenny Williams is the older brother that finally lets you play a video game and then after 2 minutes shoves you out of the way to play some more.
