Basically, it boils down to this: Because it's Pujols, everyone will want him. However, nobody is in a better position to sign him than the Cubs, who have both the funds and the need at the position.
-
we've made a huge mistake. I think I've said it before, but that was a time that Eckstein was actually really underrated.
-
The current story on their website hedges. It says source reported Friday, Cubs are "prepared" to do it Friday, but it may not happen Friday. Which could also mean they have no [expletive]ing idea what the Red Sox brain trust will do between now and then.

Your timeline is broken. You must return to the prime timeline and stop CC from finishing his tech hard-on. It is the only way to save this thread.

Jed Hoyer recently did a GM panel at the SABR 41 convention with a couple former Dodgers execs, and moderated by Rob Neyer: http://sabr.org/latest/sabr-41-general-managers-role-takes-total-dedication

fth is that expletive supposed to be easy there, jaydee

It's speculated that the Cubs won't have to send any compensation SD's way, since Moorad wanted Byrnes as GM anyway, and he doesn't consider going from GM of the Padres to GM of the Cubs to be a lateral move.

McLeod

Vitters or Rhee, possibly.

Yeah, it's been posted 3 times, but it's still very confusing. What's done? Hoyer? Or Theo? Or both? In a surprise move, the Cubs have actually taken every other club's GM and formed a college of GMs.

New title: Theo (and friends?) coming to Chicago!?
-
If a Boston source is saying it's done, then it's done.

I've always imagined you as a cross between a Spanish Don and a Batman villain. That's the way I've always pronounced it in my head. "Bane Don" Sort of like this:

I feel the same way, and then a little sad because every other team in baseball has had a real front office for years. EVERY? Dodgers? I should have put almost, in retrospect.

Hollinger analyzes Rose v CP3: http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/7113098/nba-derrick-rose-better-chris-paul
-
I'd probably have had Rose 6th ahead of Kobe and CP3. Maybe 5th ahead of Dirk, even. No doubt 1-2-3 is James, Howard and Wade, though.
-
My bad, guys.
-
Shouldn't have sat Nelson. On the plus side, the Chicago D and Billy Cundiff may win it for me this week yet.
-
Probably going to East Lansing, I'd suspect.

The faulty assumption that naysayers keep running with is that there are only 2 options for the Cubs: Theo or nobody. Because of this, people project that the Cubs are "all-in" on Epstein, and will be left with nothing if they walk away. That they have to cater to the Red Sox demands, or they'll have nobody to GM for the next year. Regardless of the chances Epstein comes to the Cubs (and the chances are still near-certain with how Henry was talking on the radio Friday), the Cubs still have about 5-6 options better than blowing their entire existing farm system for option 1. And if, by some giant snafu by Red Sox ownership, Epstein doesn't come to the Cubs and stays with the Sox, not only do they get left with a lame duck GM for a year that wants nothing to do with ownership, they'll basically be telling every future high-end GM candidate not to even bother with their franchise. And to think last week I didn't think the Sox could screw things up worse than panicking and getting rid of Francona and Epstein.

It's a made up quote.

The even more frustrating thing is that this is a winnable game if Zook isn't an idiot. It's not the kind of game that is winnable when you waste chances.
-
Yep, this is throw the remote at the TV frustrating.
