    For Cam Smith, yes.

    My money is on San Diego. He gets to be with Yu and compete against LA. Plus San Diego is about the most lovely place in the entire USA.

    it's not literally true of everyone. Sasaki is constrained by the man in how much he can be paid while the others can be paid whatever. They don't have to go to the highest bidder, but they almost always do go to the highest bidder. I didn't write this in your language so you may not understand it.

    Jed has a type. That type is Ian Happ. They love athletic college bats who perform well in wood bat leagues. They value certainty (not the right word) in their high draft pics and it’s why they choose college players with a “high floor” (I don’t like that either). Then they go over slot later in the draft in more of a gamble. Jed is always hedging his bets. It’s not necessarily a bad strategy, but the result typically are good, not great. Good, not great isn’t necessarily bad either if you’re willing to buy greatness when it’s available. They’ve not done that. Recently Jed’s made a point of talking about “clean books,” whatever the hell that means. The point of clean books is to go after top free agents I would guess. But they had clean books before and choose Swanson who is a defensive stalwart with a light bat. Not a star and he’s the face of the franchise. In a year or two his book will get messy too.

    Day can choke any big game. OSU has the better team, but ND has something too. I’m hoping for a sinkhole to win.
  6. CubinNY
    The smartest guys in the room.
  7. CubinNY
    Cubs always looking to be the tallest short person.
  8. CubinNY
    The Ricketts need to go buy the Royals and hire Jed to run the club. This is not what a team who plans on winning in the post season does.
  9. CubinNY
    it makes no sense, otherwise.
  10. CubinNY
    Trading Smith for one year of Tucker on this team makes little sense. But at least they won't have messy books like the Mets and Dodgers. That seems to be important.
  11. CubinNY
    I'm going to go out on a limb and say they are working on an extension, which is why the arbitration case didn't get settled.
  12. CubinNY
    and put in transactions
  13. CubinNY
    How pissed would you be to get traded from the Dodgers (LA) to the Reds?
  14. CubinNY
    2 or 3 years?
  15. CubinNY
    four or five more years to get them to the States. Hopefully, the site is still around and able to see well enough to enjoy the harvest.
  16. CubinNY
    Lorenzen signed with KC for $7M, vesting option for $12M 2nd year. Quality pick up the Cubs rarely do.
  17. CubinNY
    Not related to anything in this thread for now. But the Dan Campbell rah, rah, horsefeathers is going to get old quickly. He'll be out of the league in five years.
  18. CubinNY
    They have to fire Poles (if they are going to do it) before they do a coaching search, so if it isn't today, it will likely not happen.
  19. CubinNY
    Because you said nothing in a lot of words.
  20. CubinNY
    What are Poles’ odds?
  21. CubinNY
    I’m in barring doctor’s report. He’s no good on IR.
  22. CubinNY
    Where’s Tim?
  23. CubinNY
    Poles: “and that’s why we have to draft a safety in the first round.”
  24. CubinNY
    Honestly, I'd like to see them save it and make a strong play for a Tucker extension.
  25. CubinNY
    What has Poles done to develop trust in the organization? I mean, seriously? If they want Johnson but it's some package deal. Take Johnson and wish Poles the best on his next opportunity.
