    I saw Harper walking on the red carpet before the game. He's such a tool bag.
  2. CubinNY
    I still would like to see if they could pry Kyle Teel away from Boston.
  3. CubinNY
    Mervis + Bridsell for Baty. When Pete leaves, they give Mervis a long runway.
  4. CubinNY
    Is there a pre-trade Michael Busch running around out there at 3rd base? I know the Baltimore has somewhat of a jam up at 3rd, but they are gearing up for Skubal.
  5. CubinNY
    Skenes vs Burns to start. O/U on Skenes Ks 4

    Lovich - Did the Cubs draft the hitting prospect or the pitching prospect?
  7. CubinNY
    Does his brother play of Arkansas?

    I read on Threads the JJ McCarthy is going to hold out if he doesn't get his full bonus in one payment. I wonder if this is the same issue the Bears are having with Caleb.
  9. CubinNY
    Just saw this

    After reading more about the Day two kids I like what the Cubs are doing.
  11. CubinNY
    read what you wrote again.
  12. CubinNY
    I'm saying context is important and baseball is a team sport.
  13. CubinNY
    I will gladly amend that to say the ONLY instead of Primary.
  14. CubinNY
    I haven't done essentially that.
  15. CubinNY
    because the team needs offense. Obviously the next post is, you can't have a guy who can't catch. Yes, I know that and that's not what I'm saying.
  16. CubinNY
    who said it doesn't matter?
  17. CubinNY
    I know. A guy who derives his WAR with his glove can have a high war. Put him on a team that is offensively challenged. He's not as valuable to his team as a guy with lower war who derives his WAR from offense.
  18. CubinNY
    You do know that 50% is chance level. Thanks for making the argument but the study was already done by SBR.
  19. CubinNY
    Not all WAR is created equal. He had a team that was 12 in WAR last year and didn't make the playoffs.
  20. CubinNY
    That's not the argument.
  21. CubinNY
    No, my point is that WAR should not be a primary consideration in building a team. Find the best players and don't get hung up how much a mythical number is worth in mythical dollars. Efficiency is not a goal, winning is the goal.
  22. CubinNY
    Last year the Diamondbacks as a team were 15th in WAR
  23. CubinNY
    No, because you are not quoting what I wrote. In the playoffs, there is no correlation between WAR and winning.
  24. CubinNY
    no. That's not your argument. Or at least it wasn't at one point.
  25. CubinNY
    Not gonna lie, the organization lacks power up and down the system. I know the CW is not to draft for need, but I kind of feel that’s what they did today. I don’t hate it. It will be interesting to see how much fruit it bears.
