    Does Castro count?

    Ross Detwiler just sounds like a Texas Ranger.

    He was hitting baseballs at an above-average MLB ability level before he was old enough to buy beer. Like Starlin Castro. Except with power and more walks. But sure. Like Castro but better. Right, very similar to Castro, right down to the morons that want to run him out of town for not being exactly what they want all the time. I'm just hoping some of those morons work in the Washington front office. Jim Bowden still have influence there?

    One FA signing and all of a sudden the Cubs are linked to everyone.

    I mean, if the Cubs are seriously looking for a corner OF bat to significantly help right away, I'd ask the Dodgers about Puig's availability and hope I still get Ned Colletti.

    Being bad at offense in LF is something the Cubs have plenty of in-house options for already. He's a year off of a .779OPS,21SB,3.9fWAR season with tolerable defense in CF. Even a line like his 2012 season would be great. He's 35. His 2012 season is long in the rear view mirror. I'd rather stick with Coughlan.

    According to Jonah Keri, the most talked about thing at the Winter Meetings so far is Back to the Future 2.

    Is the Projected WAR in this article the same thing that Kyle has been talking about with the Rockies randomly looking like a contender. Near the bottom he uses the more reliable Base Runs which pushes the Rockies down to middle of the pack. The Cubs remain 5th in the NL by that measure. Looking at baserun projections for the AL makes the White Sox off-season thus far all the more baffling.

    I don't think they need someone just because they're a veteran. They have plenty of those already, and "showing the kids how to play" is the job of the coaching staff, and they've got plenty of those as well.

    What about Hendricks makes people think he's a lock for the rotation/is going to be good? His FB averages only 87 MPH and he struck out like 5 per 9 last year. I get he has really good control, but his stuff just isn't there. He's already been really good. He continues to get results despite the velo.

    So Keith Law doesn't think the Cubs are contenders because he thinks Lester is replacing Hendricks in the rotation and that the bullpen is a weakness. And Rob Neyer doesn't think the Cubs are contenders because they got outscored by 100 runs and has a long way to go to upgrade the offense.

    minnesotacubfan making a hard charge at SCS for the poster that understands the least about player value, but the gap is insurmountable.

    At some point, it just becomes about trying to get as much money out of the team you want to go with as possible.

    Sign Ross, sign Lester, release Ross, everyone wins.

    Considering Montero is projected to outperform Castillo next year without taking pitch framing into account, then...yes.
  19. bukie
    Not to mention that Ross as Lester's caddy sorta neuters the idea of playing platoon advantage with his games. I'll have to think some more about how Castillo could have to be part of that 'big bat'. Who would want Castillo that has a good OF to give up? Washington? Dodgers? Rockies? Castillo to Washington as part of a Harper package? Okay I'll be on board with that.

    Remember when he posted here? Theo posted here? It seems like just yesterday that Theo was a 15 year old karate enthusiast desperate for a job with the Cubs.
  21. bukie
    Obviously they're setting the table to explain why the Cubs didn't get him.
  22. bukie
    They should challenge for 3rd in that division. Maybe second if the Tigers collapse.

    The same people that call ND greedy for being independent love to get all snarky about their beloved conference championship games, the most shameless money grab in all of college sports. Take off the ND blinders for a second and understand how absurd it is for Kelly to offer up conference championship games in order to get the 8 team playoff.
  25. bukie
    Brian Kelly is willing to sacrifice conference championships to facilitate an eight team playoff. He's a giver, that one.
