  1. Not the Cardinals. They get extra picks for that.
  2. My thoughts exactly. Was he too young to see the first one?
  3. Yeah, I'd be really pleased if the Cubs did that. That's why I wanted to trade down. The Cubs did trade down, twice, but just didn't tell anyone else.
  4. I don't feel as bad about missing out on a guy with 2 last names.
  5. Except that there was a much more obvious need to save money on that pick last year after drafting Bryant.
  6. Have to wait and see how everything plays out tomorrow, but so far this feels like a Phil Emery draft.
  7. There aren't any advantages any more. I mean, yeah, you can still way overpay for guys when they become FA. Except that most guys worth overpaying for never hit free agency anymore.
  8. Yes, I absolutely hate them and I don't understand why the rest of owners signed off on it.
  9. In other words, the Cardinals will pick him. ...
  10. They are still talking about the Pick #4 surprise on MLB Network. Give it a rest.
  11. 3.5 would be pretty high for him, but I think 3 is reasonable.
  12. In other words, the Cardinals will pick him.
  13. It makes the Brett Jackson pick look not quite as terrible.
  14. Going to commercial? Screw you MLB Network!
  15. They're gonna keep using it, but badly dub over that part with the other provider, not unlike this: Maybe they can get Steve Goodman to re-record it? Too soon?
  16. That is true to some degree, but it can also be offset by the increased demand brought by a good team. If all the games are sold out, there will be more people on the rooftops regardless of whether they have an obstruction-free view.
  17. Exactly this. I have been to a couple rooftop parties and very few people are there to sit and watch the game. Even the unobstructed views leave a lot to be desired. Assuming the signs lead to additional revenue which helps the Cubs field a consistently competitive team, the rooftop owners will benefit from the excitement around the team more than they will be harmed by any obstructions.
  18. Is this new or did I just miss it before? I understand there is a definite player safety issue and that justifies the change, but as a fan I will miss being able to clearly see who is warming up at any time.
  19. I dont know why but I decided to torture myself and read some posts from the first few pages of this thread. I don't even know what I was responding to, but upswing and 2014... oh how naive I was.
