    You appear to be a better Judge than I.

    Can we stop with the Madrigal as an everyday player nonsense? Even if the Cubs wanted him to do it he can’t stay healthy. I’m hoping they trade him for a lottery ticket before the season starts. He’s not a 3rd baseman. He can’t slg. And most of all he can’t stay healthy.

    Is it just me or does anyone else think the Cowboys are going to walk ove the Packers?

    I saw him play about a dozen games in AAA last year, mostly in CF and LF. It was awful. I mean bad in a 15 year old league environment.

    It's so interesting how much different Auburn and Alabama are. He does not have ties to the SEC or the South, so he's going to have a bit of a hurdle in recruiting, at least to start. Seems like a solid choice.

    Or brilliant if it works out.

    I think it's a little premature to say he's a AAAA player given the data you presented and his very limited and sporadic use. I'd like to see him given a real opportunity. He has nothing to prove in AAA. On the flip side, if they are not going to do that, to trade him.

    I've been thinking about that scenario a lot, but I thought it if I suggested it, it would get roundly criticized.

    It’s more weird that people have him at 1st when he hasn’t played 1st. They basically have 4 2nd baseman and Wisdom.

    Who the horsefeathers is Maddux Burns?

    This trade could look pretty lopsided in three years, and not in a good way for the Cubs. But I trust them. Busch's defensive problems are way overblown, so whatever. Edit: The smoldering shell of twitter with ads from the Epoch Times sandwiched between Passsan tweets is really something, well done, Elon.

    You know that Farris is going to win a Cy Young in LA.

    ✊ I've always said baseball is a microcosm of life. But really, this is about Boras using the only tools he has to try and get his people the best contract he can. But as I've said previously, he's not the villain in this story.

    if Milroe can learn to throw the ball, he's going to be a top QB. But I don't think it's going to happen. Alabama has really good coaches and he didn't progress at all during the year. If it were 30 years ago and they were still running the wishbone option, he'd be devastating at the college level.

    I think the Ricketts and Jed are in lockstep. However, I think that the QO thing is more of a Jed issue than it is a Ricketts issue. i have a hard time believing the kids are that invested in the draft and draft philosophy.

    I suppose we are talking about different degrees of competitiveness. I should have specified that. The McPhail/Hendry philosophy of competing within the division is not what I'm talking about. It's also something I hope they aspire to rise above.

    I would not be a bit surprised if Belichick's next gig is with Fox, CBS, NBC, or ESPN. or there is no next job He's 71. When I'm 71 I hope to be fishing and hunting as long as my body will let me.
  20. CubinNY
    I think they think they are a year or two away from competing. But even when they think they are there I wouldn't expect them to break the LT threshold for multiple years. The Cubs have a lot of "nice" players in the minors. But their farm system is a lot like their major league team. They are lacking impact players. Maybe Horton, Shaw, and Alcantara will be those guys. Shaw has hit everywhere but we don't know if he has a position. Horton has been lights out, but he's not pitched many innings. Alcantara is already on the clock and has a lot of development to do. I can't speak for anyone else, I'm cautiously optimistic and also at the same time pessimistic, if that is possible. What I mean is that they do have a lot of apparent talent coming up from the farm, but perhaps not enough to be a perennial playoff contender. And they have demonstrated no willingness to want to be a perennial playoff contender through free agency. Maybe it will change once they think they have most of the pieces in place, but then they have to have the right players in FA.

    First Alabama’s money guy Senator retires. Now Saban. The state is in for some rough times. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if one of his old coaches like Kiffin or Sarkasian takes the job.
  22. CubinNY
    Puts Eberflus in the position of drafting a QB and then getting fired, The Bears are on the rinse and repeat cycle.
  23. CubinNY
    Bellinger/Champan is an either-or situation. They are not spending that kind of money short or long term.
  24. CubinNY
    Do the Angels have an Orange County problem?
  25. CubinNY
    If after three years we are still asking these questions, the answer is, probably not. This is the meta-problem with the Bears. They don't have the high-level leadership in place to make the changes to make them a contender. In our lifetime, the Bears had one real contending team that was from, 1982-1985.
