    I really hope they don't trade Pedro unless it's for a really good starting pitcher who's not on the edge of FA.
  2. CubinNY
    Late inning bullpen disaster is upcoming.

    Before anyone gets their undies in a bunch - I don't think anyone is an Asaad hater. I'm mostly joking with these posts. But I do think he's a very useful pitcher to have on a team. It seems like every really good team has one or two Asaad type pitchers.
  4. CubinNY
    Suck it again Asaad haters. He's the type of pitcher who has a 15-year career in MLB, and no one can understand why. It's because more often than not, he's going to keep you in the game.

    Why is it bad for the sport? They are the smartest organization with some of the best draft and development people in baseball.
  6. CubinNY
    I wouldn't be surprised if it's the Dodgers or the Braves.

    I suppose it's a semantic distiction. When I think of a pop up prospect, I think of a guy who went off for half a season, maybe skipped a level but nothing in his profile suggests it's sustainable or that he has a glaring weakness, not yet exposed to play. I don't think of a guy who's produced at every level with better than average defense at a premium defensive position.

    I'll put it this way - Forget about his draft status, how many people go from the complex league to AAA in less than two years? Some of it is due to his age, but he's excelled at every level to this point. He may stall out at AAA, but nothing in his game points to that.
  9. CubinNY
    He wasn't worthy b/c of his draft status. Everything he's done since being drafted is worthy.
  10. CubinNY
    LOL, he was drafted in 2024 and his 2025 numbers (in a park and league that's not hitter firendly were eye poping enough to get him in the AFL.
  11. CubinNY
    Except Ayres has been doing it since he was drafted, at every stop along the way. He's not a pop up prospect. He's a new to you prospect. HIs main problem is age. If he was 21, he'd likely be a top 50 prospect. were

    it's almost as if those grades are all made up and don't really correlate to anything. Think of it this way: all those scores don't add up to much of a total prospect, but really they are like the bead on the end of a shotgun as opposed to a rifle, they are a reference point, not an aiming point.
  13. CubinNY
    I don't follow the league as closely as I used to. Given the likely prospects involved and the need, my top target would be Gausman. Then I'd try to get a closer. They should not blow out the farm, and I think we may value the Cubs prospects more than other teams. I don't think Wiggins is all that attractive, or at least he wouldn't be for me. Then the top of the list is a bunch of quantity over quality besides Hartshorn. It's going to be an interesting deadline, but I expect a lot of smoke and not much fire.
  14. CubinNY
    So are they going to finally be good or what is happening? I'm not the biggest hockey fan but it seems like they've been rebuilding for 5 years.
  15. CubinNY
    I don't know names, but in order of importance to me SP#1 - SP# 2 Closer (might actually be #`1) A bat off the bench who crushes left-handed pitching.
  16. CubinNY
    If the Pirates make the playoffs, I could see them shocking some teams and having a run with the top of their rotation and that offense. I'm happy for them.
  17. CubinNY
    Jamo is cooked but some of these reactions are over the top. Put him in long relief.
  18. CubinNY
    Better get someone up quickly
  19. CubinNY
    You never know what's real in this age, but I saw a list of teams on Gausman's no-trade clause and it includes the Brewers.
  20. CubinNY
    There is your big bat - Cubs picked Greg Jones on waivers
  21. CubinNY
    Cubs picked up Greg Jones on waivers. I remember when he was a thing while playing for the Biscuits
  22. CubinNY
    Who are you responding to because it wasn't me,
  23. CubinNY
    It's the Cubs' mindset that has been around for longer than the Ricketts have owned them. Just hang around the WC and count the gate. That's how good they want to be for the price they want to pay. Maybe call it the Crane Kenney Experience.
  24. CubinNY
    I just saw my first social media ad on YouTube comparing the Marlins' and Yankees ' payrolls.
  25. CubinNY
    I'm really bad at assessing value and trade stuff, but this looks terribly lopsided against the Cubs.
