    Did you root for Starlin the last few years? Honestly I never felt genuinely comfortable with him being a Cub after that. I'm glad they traded him. What was the Starlin situation? I don't recall any off field stuff, just an abrupt performance drop-off when there were a lot of new SS options coming around.

    Yeah, that was a very entertaining grantland article: http://grantland.com/features/mlb-transaction-trees/

    Does anyone have any recollection of what the cause was for his original KC contract being voided? I didn't realize that was the case until seeing that tonight.

    Sorry if it's already been discussed, but didn't see any of the more recent replies remarking on the potential compensation. While I understand some sort of compensation would be required for Epstein, the majority of the packages I've seen thrown out just seem too pricey for my liking. Personally I would find the price too high if it cost either of Garza or Castro. Also saw a Cashner & Jackson package suggested - that's pretty steep too considering the low count of quality players we have at this time. What do people think the cost would be to pry Epstein & how does that compare to what you feel would still result in a solid win in the transaction for the Cubs?

    This is from a Sully article in today's Trib. I hope to God that we didn't back out of a possible AGon deal solely because we refused to trade Cashner. second that. we're cheap & we're holding back on a real haul for someone who hasn't at all put it together to be a meaningful piece of the future equation? I hope there was some misinterpretation behind that statement from the Trib. guess I should take a cue from Lou & give Ricketts & these well founded approaches more time. maybe then next off-season we can latch onto another B-ish prospect at the expense of a player we need. Weak.

    I thought for sure they did one a few years back. When Mike Morgan threw the first pitch of the game with the old time windup. Was that a road game? Holy crap I totally forgot about that. I think that was a road game though. I remember when that happened, it was awesome I don't remember the uniforms involved, but Fox did a Cubs/Dodgers game a few years back that was turn back the clock broadcasting.

    or is it off the wagon?

    the related Bill Murray & Steve Stone broadcast clips are good watches also.

    what an unappealing ball player. wasn't his name involved with a Jacque Jones to O's offer/rumor/the like (as in what O's preferred to send back if we were looking to purge him for 'anything')? plenty of guys already in the system that would seem to be better uses of roster space.

    the visiting jays fan has wiped his forehead for the thread title - it's Alex. I like Rios but don't expect we're a fit this time

    This would complete the Furcal/Pierre duo that was craved so much last offseason.

    Anyone have the Blasphemy Nomah picture around (never said it'd be easy - only said it'd be worth it)? I'd like to send it to my Dodgers fan brother-in-law. Thanks in advance if anyone finds it.

    Which school? Home of the Roo's I went to an AC game during the Otis Amy era.

    Mine's a new Nielsen household. If the 5000 Nielsen households estimate is correct, I counted as about 20,000 households who didn't care to tune in for ~2/3 of the season. They compensate in the form of monetary "tokens of appreciation", but it's not a huge inconvenience to me anyway & I like being a voice that's the basis for extrapolation of that magnitude for a while.

    Wasn't Rusch the game 2 starter this season? editing after confirming - featured the 1st Arroyo hr v Rusch

    Seemed to slide quickly down hill after the sister-in-law line. Maybe I should have quoted '"I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate."' instead. Neither here nor there though. Welcome from the implying poster as well.
  19. c3ci1
    Let me guess...either brother-in-law or sister-in-law..? Somehow none of the players in this thread strike me as the pretend you know something about them type. How many jollies do you really think he'd get for faking everyone out on Greenberg from AAA to AA?

    the effort's definitely admirable - too bad it doesn't result in these guys playing like All-Stars. I'll vote a time or two towards the end of voting when hopefully there will be more Cubs I feel are deserving. ...carry on
  21. c3ci1
    I think there's an additional stat of note - a W ties the all-time series with the Dodgers.
  22. c3ci1
    Believe Calvin Murray retired. Hubbard, not sure.

    Ricky Williams played minor league ball for the Phillies, saving Texas the scholarship - not that the thread really needed more examples to prove whether it was allowed. Just a nice opportunity to mention #34.

    Like CFICT said, it's unlikely at this point that Bradley is non-tendered. Even if he were, it makes sense to give up something to make sure that he will be yours, if he's non-tendered, he can always turn you down. Not so when you have his rights. I follow the control aspect of trading for v signing after he's non-tendered, but if we needed that control for him to play for us, I would def prefer not to have him. Against his will Bradley would be a really bad acquisition. Sounds like that's not an issue though since he & Dusty have had their talks.

    Durazo would be an interesting bench option. I see that he's a type A FA.
