I enjoy Benetti but I feel like he could really wear on a partner over a full season. A bit of a ball-buster.

He's way too chatty. There's nothing wrong with a little silence, dude.

You like a little silence huh?

 

Well, then you'll love this. A ton of silence from a complete homer here:

The comments are great lol. I highly recommend clicking on the youtube link and reading them.

Darvish struck out the side. The Cubs are going to own so hard this season.

 

Indeed. I think the Cubs will eclipse 100 wins again barring any serious injuries.

Grimm with 1IP 3H 2ER 0BB 0K 1HR in his outing today. He's sucked hard and Cubs Insider/AZ Phil pointed out recently that by going to arbitration with Grimm (something they strategically may have wanted to do) allows for this....

 

Here's a possible reason why the Cubs wanted to go to arbitration with Grimm (besides a 50/50 chance to save $275K):

 

 

Contracts awarded by an arbitration panel - even if the player loses - are automatically non-guaranteed contracts. So in Grimm's case. it's a non-guaranteed "straight" $2.2M contract (no minor league "split salary" and no performance bonus). What this means is that because the contract is not guaranteed, the Cubs could release Grimm during Spring Training and not have to pay him his full salary (which they would have to pay him if the contract was guaranteed). If he were to be released no more than 15 days prior to MLB Opening Day the Cubs would owe Grimm 45 days pay (about $500K), and the Cubs would owe him 30 days pay (about $350K) if he is released more than 15 days prior to MLB Opening Day. (He would receive his full salary if he is released after the start of the MLB regular season).

 

If they are done with him and want Butler to get that last bullpen spot I wouldn't be surprised if he's cut before Wednesday this coming week (which is the 15 day prior to OD cut line).
