    I'd be so insulted that I'd sign with the Cardinals' rich division rival.
  2. KingKongvs.Godzilla
    It's way to early to say this with completely confidence obviously, but I think I like Vitters moving forward more than I like Jackson. I expect big things from Vitters next year.

    I'm not into the whole furry thing to be honest. Sure, they actually made for the one rewatchable (as in one more time) Entourage episode in existence, but the one male furry show can't be a good watch.

    The best player in the game and a historically great hitter falls into that category. Hell, same with signing the 27 year old hefty fellow who hits doubles, might have the most HR power in the game right now, doesn't K, walks alot, and can probably get by with the glove for a for a few years. That guy is so good he can be argued as being a better buy than the best player in the game/historically great hitter. It's not often superstars hit the FA market. When they do, for the most part they instantly become "the right player."

    Oh and I'm going to go ahead and say I'd take Tyler Colvin ahead of Melky Cabrera moving forward. Better athlete, more power, more speed, more glove...Colvin looked like crap for alot of last year, but he did flash all those things at times. No way he's that bad twice in a row like that anyway. He did do this coming off a year which ended with him getting stabbed in the chest with a broken bat....I could see Colvin being one of those guys who throws up a strong season at 28-30 and doing alright for himself and team/s after that.

    I agree. :D We're all well aware that you don't want the Cubs to sign Pojuls. Actually if it happened I'm sure I'd be giggly like a little girl. Because of first 4 or so seasons would be great. Just not looking forward to his near 40s years. Plus as far as I know Fielder hasn't won a WS. With Fielder I think after awhile he would feel like a "Cub" because of his age and what he hasn't accomplished yet. With Pojuls it will feel to much like we are "borrowing" a cardinal. I just don't like that feeling. :P Say the Cubs sign Pujols. If he closes out nearly a decade here with a WS win or two plus whatever Pujols records he'll be setting, I'm sure some of us will be able to find a place in our hearts to admit he feels like a "Cub."

    I thought about looking for this thread the other day to post this...This is August of his age 21 season: Pretty much everything about this guy says star to superstar in the future. :20 in he absolutely rips a 92 MPH fastball in on his hands...
  8. KingKongvs.Godzilla
    Smart move by the Royals. Potential power lefty arm and whoever that other guy is for the somehow overrated Melky Cabrera.... Edit: Didn't realize Cabrera actually had a solid year last year. Still not a huge fan of him as a player...He's not even good defensively.
  9. KingKongvs.Godzilla
    Please please please. I don't know the comments about his family make it seem like he's hinting that he really isn't wanting to move. Guess is he stays put. I wouldn't mine Martinez or Alomar Jr either, but I think Maddux would be a coup here. I think Maddux can help build a long term pitching program here that for the list part we know works.

    Even paying Pujols $30 million a year doesn't automatically kill their flexibility to change and improve the team down the line. Again, this is a big market team that can handle having a $130-$150 million payroll and ideally could handle an even higher one down the road. It's not an either/or proposition. If the Phillies can hold up a 175+ payroll, there is zero reason the Cubs can't when the the time is right. Even the Twins topped 100 million this year....Pay Pujols.
  11. KingKongvs.Godzilla
    Please please please.
  12. KingKongvs.Godzilla
    Yes please.

    OTOH, they do fund it. At the end, the Trib definitely threw more money to make the MLB team better, but possibly at the tail end they did not spend much internally. There wouldn't be much need to since they were selling the team and new ownership might want to build their own FO. I don't know though this is purely speculation...
  14. KingKongvs.Godzilla
    Just saw Lakes AB and atrocious throwing error. Pretty much what I expected, but physically he's exactly what I expected. I still like the player alot. They even threw out the Soriano comparison. He's more solid than Soriano, and I think I see him as an IF. 3B or even 2B, though obviously you keep him at SS as long as possible.
  15. KingKongvs.Godzilla
    WHATCOULDTHEYGETFORMARMOL? No really he's on a fairly friendly deal....People like to get in on hard throwers for the bullpen that might be percieved to have fallen off a little (like Nathan or Broxton)....gotta think Marmol would bring back something decent...then again if they went Mile Maddux then maybe they can sedate some of those quirks for a year....
  16. KingKongvs.Godzilla
    Pujols has maybe two seasons left as an elite hitter. It's not like he'll be useless after he exits his prime, but ~$30 million for Pujols at 34 and beyond is a tremendously inefficient use of resources and every GM knows this. The only teams who don't want Pujols are those that can't afford him or have no real way of keeping him on the field.
  17. KingKongvs.Godzilla
    Oh THAT'S it? The proclamations I make on how rebellious and edgy my posts are? Why didn't you say so my main man bro?!!??!
  18. KingKongvs.Godzilla
    I don't think it was being cheap as much as just not believing it helped. That's just scary. I have to say that I'm skeptical of that though...from what I understand the franchise is bottom tier in alot of facilities...or was until very very recently...which makes me wonder if alot of that fell on the previous owners...It's weird how few have been fired despite pretty blatant incompetence...makes me point to an ownership that didn't try too hard to be great.
  19. KingKongvs.Godzilla
    It really does Irk the soul the sheer number of people who are so short sighted on Pujols/Fielder.
  20. KingKongvs.Godzilla
    Out of curiosity...why were the Cubs so cheap on technology before The Ricketts'? Is there a known reason?
  21. KingKongvs.Godzilla
    Did I kick someone's dog here or something? What is with this? Or is my presence and the fact that I post just upsetting the order of cool/old boys club thing?
  22. KingKongvs.Godzilla
    Whoa you told me. Watch out everyone we've got an Internet badass on the loose. Go [expletive] a goat ya loser. Get me back on your ignore ASAP so I don't have to put up with your ridiculously random and completely unecessary cuntiness.
  23. KingKongvs.Godzilla
    Recording set. I'm really excited to see those two arms, and hopefully Mcnutt off course.

    Citation needed. My wife is a tech/engineering recruiter. Absolutely common practice to run a programmer, an engineer, etc. through several hours long tests. Can take a whole day and sometimes longer. Often the final interview will be with the folks on the team--even if it is a manager being hired. Often, those teams ask the best questions. I don't think it's as common as you think it is. For a good, high paying, high profile job there's no way it's not common.
  25. KingKongvs.Godzilla
    My worry with Gonzalez is that we'd be trading for a guy coming off his best year. He's got two plus pitches in his fastball/curveball, but theres work to do. If we landed Mike Maddux then bring in whoever... I'd be interested in Barton on the cheap if they struck out on Pujols/Fielder.
