    Considering the OF the Cubs have this year and they probably won't have 95 losses with it, I'm guessing two straw men and a scarecrow.

    That is every pitcher's floor, and why I wouldn't trade a cost-controlled, 24 year old all star SS for any of them.

    That's not true, they play the Mets tomorrow. *After this series. Forgot we have the weird 4 game series that goes Fri-Mon Also a decent chance Cincy is below .500 at the end of the day today.

    Worst first pitch in history? http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--qRO2LnM0--/c_fit,fl_progressive,q_80,w_636/llg04q2thppeytykkwjd.gif

    Just because someone agrees with you doesn't make it a good idea.

    This year, the highest team OBP is .332 (Pittxburgh). In 2008, this was the Cubs' every day lineup, with OBPs: 1. Soriano .344 2. Theriot .387 3. Lee .361 4. Ramirez .380 5. Edmonds .369 6. DeRosa .376 7. Fukudome .359 8. Soto .364

    Why does it matter whether Jackson pitches at all, if there are better options available?

    Why would you want him to get cancer? That's just mean.

    Aside from his first professional inning, Hendricks has pitched 40 2/3 innings and given up 30 hits, 6 walks, and 5 ER while striking out 26 over 6 games. Good for a 1.11 ERA, 0.89 WHIP, and 4.33 K/BB.

    This topic was first. It wins.

    It'd be at least a tiny bit funny if the AL wild card game is Tigers vs A's.
  15. bukie
    Not a very good K/BB ratio for the hitters this weekend, though.

    Cubs activate Neil Ramirez, add Jacob Turner to the roster, option Rusin. Still someone else that needs to go down.

    That was just a 2-run HR...

    The short list of teams Hamels cannot be traded to in 2014 anymore: - Everyone but the Cubs.

    @sunilgulati 8h All good with Pep Guardiola and Caleb Porter. With them for nice handshake outside the locker room after the game. #MLSAllStar http://www.welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com/images/07-minister.jpg

    Young, major-league-ready, cost-controlled pitchers just don't get put on waivers. This is bonkers.

    I'm sure someone corrected his error...no, the 3 replies are all sure the Cubs trade Castro and move Baez to SS afterwards or call up Russell.

    Well and outright waivers are different than trade waivers. If they're trying to outright him off the 40 man those are irrevocable right? Right.

    Here are their options: 1) MLB team claims him on waivers - Either the Marlins let them have him, work out a trade with that team for him, or pull him back and he can't be waived again. In reverse order of the standings starting with the team's own league (NL in this case) and then the other league, right? And multiple teams can put in a claim but the highest priority either gets a deal done or nothing happens. Correct. So it goes Rockies, Cubs, irrelevant.

    Here are their options: 1) MLB team claims him on waivers - Either the Marlins let them have him, work out a trade with that team for him, or pull him back and he can't be waived again. 2) He clears waivers - Marlins can work out a trade with any team for him, send him to the minors, or release him. Ok. That's what I thought. But, from the part that I bolded, that means that he would have to stay on the 25-man roster, since he has no options left. Which, it seems like they don't want him on the 25-man. Right, but it's August. Teams will occasionally put the whole team on waivers just to see if nobody notices and they slip through. Most get pulled back right away with little to no fanfare, and players nobody care about will get traded afterwards. Someone put out the Jacob Turner signal, though, and I can't imagine him slipping through.

    So basically, the only leverage the Marlins have would be the hope that nobody wants to take on Turner's salary, which is really a non issue for a player like Turner. It's a baffling move, really. They must really hate his ERA.
