    I just turned on the game and it is already 4-0. What has Garza done to kill his trade value?
  2. Irrelevant Dude
    What are the Cubs realistically going to be able to get for Lahair? I'm starting to think that it better be a pretty good prospect or else there is really no reason to let him go. He is a cheap, team controlled player who provides left handed power and can play multiple positions (albeit not spectacularly). Even if he is not an everyday player, why deal a piece like that unless you are going to get something of real value in return?

    Someone should put him in a room with Bruce Levine, who almost caused me to yell at my radio in the office this morning. He said that A.J. Pierzynski should have made the allstar team over Mauer. When someone mentioned that Mauer has a higher OBP and OPS, Levine responded something to the effect of, "I don't care about those numbers. All that matters is run production." I can't believe he gets paid to spew that information.

    Yes.

    This is fun to watch.

    Damn, nice play Barney.
  7. Irrelevant Dude
    I really wish he would be good again. This lineup would look halfway decent 1 through 5. The same can't be said with Reed Johnson in the 5 hole.
  8. Irrelevant Dude
    Does he also have broad shoulders?
  9. Irrelevant Dude
    Textbook bunting.

    And who takes his rotation spot (assuming Dempster is gone soon after coming off the DL). Volstad? I just threw up a little bit.

    That is a really good question. 50 games of a $6.5 million salary comes out to just over $2 million. Do we know exactly how much cash the Cubs sent to Boston?

    Judging by Laurence Holmes' comments on The Score, I take it that not everyone liked and respected Marlon Byrd. He stopped short of calling Byrd a "d bag", but did sarcastically state that "it couldn't happen to a nicer guy".

    The banner on Cubs postgame says, "Report: Rizzo to be called up on Tuesday". I'm not sure whether that is accurate or where they got their info, but that is what they are going with.

    Zach Stewart... Enjoy that Boston.

    Even if this is purely precautionary,.the problem is that his recent great starts are devalued because he will have to come back and prove that he is healthy. Then if he has a couple poor starts, his value is shot. This is horrible timing. Sent from my LG-LS840 using Tapatalk 2

    I'm pretty sure Castro was called up after the cut off for him, Rizzo is later in the season because of his service time from last year. (I could be completely wrong) edit - and while I was typing that I was proven wrong. I could be wrong too, but wasnt Castro just called up before the super 2 cutoff, meaning the Cubs still have him under control for the same number of years, but he will get an extra arbitration year?

    You think it's silly to wait an additional 10-11 days to get an extra full year of control? Yes. If Rizzo projects as expected, he'll be locked up long term regardless. We are the Cubs, not a small market team. That is the type of thinking that put the Cubs in this hole. Sent from my LG-LS840 using Tapatalk 2
  19. Irrelevant Dude
    10 more days is for the extra year of team control, but he would still be eligible for super 2 status, right? I thought the cutoff date for that was estimated around late July. Sent from my LG-LS840 using Tapatalk 2
  20. Irrelevant Dude
    So at this point the Cubs can't really worry about super 2 can they? It just doesnt seem worth keeping Rizzo in Iowa for an extra month or more when he has nothing left to learn there. Sent from my LG-LS840 using Tapatalk 2
  21. Irrelevant Dude
    Why would LaHair go on the DL? I think it would make more sense to deal Reed Johnson for whatever the Cubs can get, which I'm sure isn't much. Sent from my LG-LS840 using Tapatalk 2

    Rizzo needs to stop playing on Easy mode. Increase the difficulty! Sent from my LG-LS840 using Tapatalk 2

    I was stuck on a plane just waiting to land so I could check for Soler news and this is exactly what I hoped to hear when I landed. Way to get it done Theo. Sent from my LG-LS840 using Tapatalk 2

    It is kind of hard to believe that Vitters is still only 22. It doesn't appear at this point that he will be an all-star caliber hitter, but it is not out of the realm of possibility that he can still develop into a solid major league player.
  25. Irrelevant Dude
    I'll take "unfortunately the number might be huge" over "unfortunately it might be the Yankees".
