    Thanks. Was unaware of reports suggesting he wanted to sign with the Dodgers.
  2. gflore34
    Ed Howard to Iowa? 24, unfortunate injury history, not much hitting, is he close to the end with the Cubs?
  3. gflore34
    Don't get why the assumption is Skubal will sign with the Dodgers. He's from Seattle, I would imagine playing for Mariners has some appeal for him.
  4. gflore34
    Yes, don't know with Gordon, is it he aggravated/re-injured/new injury because of an intense off season program or is it being paid and the want is gone? The way Ben is talking, it's the later and if it is, he'll be an ex-Bear in 2027.

    Illini Summer Workout Scrimmages - flashes from Coleman, Lincoln Williams, Vaaks and Zens. Of course, it's much like the NBA Summer league nevertheless, plenty to find encouraging.

    In time, I believe Swain will turn it around, on the other hand, Essengue' got a G season to show he's worth the investment. My hot take - he's a bust, the Bulls won't pick up his option and he'll be back in Europe by 2028.
  7. gflore34
    Put Essengue on that train as well, don't know if he'll ever amount to anything. But, whatever that may be is light years away. Guess the Bulls have until Halloween to pick up the option for his third year, if he doesn't show any signs of life in the G-league, Noa better start thinking about FA.

    Do you see, much as last season, the asking prices for controlled pitchers being exorbitantly high?
  9. gflore34
    I believe their approach of death by a thousand cuts works over the course of a long season. Just, don't think it's quite as successful in the post season, they're no longer facing average to below average pitching, the opponents are no longer mistake prone and have overall solid lineups which can execute against the Brewers pitching.

    Anyone who knows even an ounce of baseball knows Vargas isn't even in the same universe as PCA.

    4.5:1 I was thinking 3:1 nevertheless, it's a good ratio.

    Appendicitis? Seriously? horsefeathers appendicitis, what's next leprosy, bubonic plague, locusts? All one can do is be amused, it's off the charts ridiculous at this point.
  13. gflore34
    I don't know about this, despite the shittyness of the last FO, the Caruso trade was actually good. They bought low on Giddey, couldn't get him for such a price now.
  14. gflore34
    New Balance has a line of lacrosse cleats using the word "Freeze", not exactly "Iceman", both imply ice.
  15. gflore34
    Just taking a glance it appeared a good deal of the teams did what the Bulls did with their 2nd rounders.
  16. gflore34
    Thanks all for the replies, offering some positive news. Regarding the draft, should the Cubs go 2 pitchers for every position player or is that an overreaction?
  17. gflore34
    Thanks. Read the piece about the Cubs plethora of injuries the other day and the author painted a really dire picture of the Cubs as a whole. Now, I agree a whole horsefeathers ton of things have gone wrong, including Hoyer' drafting of guys - Horton, Conrad, Wiggins - who, have thus far, shown their greatest ability is the ability to remain injured. But, it's probably not as bad as it seems right now.
  18. gflore34
    For those in the know - within the next few seasons is the Cubs farm system going to pop with pitching? Given the lack of pitching at the big league and AAA level I know this seems like a silly question. Thought, I've read at the lower levels the Cubs have quite a few possibly quality pitching prospects.
  19. gflore34
    Before learning of the trade I was warming to the idea of Braden Smith being a Bull. I've no doubt Smith will make it to the NBA. Oh well, Kam Jones isn't bad compensation, he's got a chance to stick.
  20. gflore34
    They did get Kam Jones in the trade for 38 so, I guess, a little more than a nothing burger.
  21. gflore34
    Yeah, I didn't get the lack of effort and just flat out dogging it.
  22. gflore34
    Being reading and hearing Seth Jones and Bowen Byram in the same sentence. Don't think Byram can be as worthless and bad as Jones but, to be already mentioned in such comparisons is concerning.
  23. gflore34
    That's what the previous FO did with most of their picks.
  24. gflore34
    And given the Bulls luck, we all know which way this one probably goes.
  25. gflore34
    Hell, I would have them take Stirtz, instead of this waste of a pick. Guess it doesn’t matter who’s in Bulls FO, the stupidity remains.
