  1. Madrigal cannot stay healthy. They cannot count on him to stay healthy. Nothing else matters.
  2. I just want to take this opportunity to say horsefeathers the Ricketts in the roughest way possible. They are more vile and disgusting humans than some dumbass kid from the DR could ever be. and also, TT, if don’t think Tom horsefeathers Ricketts doesn’t hold some kind of stupid White man rich guy grudge against arguably the 2nd best Cubs player of our lifetime I don’t know what to tell you other than you are giving the douche bags who run the Cubsa way, way too much credit.
  3. In case anyone forgot or didn't know, today is the prospect games vs. the Sox prospects.
  4. According to Brett or whoever runs the BN version of Bears blog, the Bears are “doing due diligence” with the prospects and hanging on to Fields right now. Which, if true makes Poles a liar at best.
  5. thanks. I've been watching the European games on NBC on Saturday mornings lately.
  6. I'm trying to get into soccer. What I cannot figure out is if the season ever ends or if it just goes on forever in a different form.
  7. Just reading the rumors and stuff, it appears that they have been trying to trade him and every time they get close the other team finds a better option that doesn't cost them draft picks. Goony's thesis that they can have both Wiilaims and Fields on the squad may get put to the test.
  8. That doesn’t seem like an overwhelming prospect haul for the Sox.
  9. Game is at 4PM vs Guardians No TV today, audio will probably be Guardians' feed.
  10. I said it before, he just has to make the routine plays. His glove and range appear to be fine, his throwing is the problem. If they can work on that without also giving him a case of the yips, he will be fine.
  11. Not that ST records matter, b/c they don't. But still, the Dodgers are 13-4.
  12. Keith Law has two Cubs in his top 20 prospects likely to make an impact in the MLB this year The first is easy, Busch, who barely qualifies. The 2nd is not Horton, but Shaw. Law thinks the Morel "experiment" will not work and Shaw will be taking ABs in MLB this year. Law is not going out on a limb with those predictions, but I think Horton (if all goes as expected) will have a much bigger impact. https://theathletic.com/5335070/2024/03/13/mlb-rookie-impact-projections-2024-season/
  13. Not necessarily about Dansby since they have a lot of money tied up into him, but they do have Vazquez in Iowa who looks like a real SS and is a top 20 prospect on the farm. If Dansby gets injured, he's a nice potential fallback who could plug right in at least on defense.
  14. I just saw this on one of my feeds- In 1972 Steve Carleton went 27-10 with 30 complete games on a 50 win team!
  15. Poles is just an odd duck.
  16. Our own Owen Caissie made the Athletic’s 30 players who’ve impressed this ST. Good for him. There is lightning in that bat.
  17. I like how you are both trashing Poles for opposite reasons.
  18. I think Wisdom has more versatility and at this point is more of a 1st baseman who can also fill in at 3rd. As for making the roster, I like him more than Cooper and less than Mastouboni. If it were me, I'd take Cooper and DFA/trade Madrigal even if he's the best glove at 3rd. I do think they are trying to figure out what to do with Bote. They had him in the OF the other day. Either they are showcasing him or trying to figure out how he fits, if he fits b/c he's not on the 40 man.
  19. It would probably cost as literal horsefeathers tonne of money, but a great creative architect might be able to make a multi purpose facility look aesthetically pleasing and functional. It makes more sense for the city to do something like that, than lay down for two new places.
  20. Damn, the game tonight doesn't start unitl 8 pm. I might catch an inning.
  21. This is looking increasingly like a very tough situation to be in for Fields.
  22. Great game today.
  23. Bote continues to have another good spring. Maybe they can get a decent prospect for him.
