    Rizzo

    Puig has a .369 BABIP with just a 13.9 LD% and his wOBA is still lower than Rizzo. Rizzo, in contrast, has a .317 BABIP and a 23.7 LD%. 3.0 fWAR for both. Rizzo is locked up longer for (very) slightly less money.

    To me the list starts and ends with Trout.

    Ok, this makes up for no Iowa game yesterday. Double header in Colorado, nice. And the matchups look very favorable as well. .815 OPS for Javy over his last 10. Ready to see him take off. 1.088 OPS for Alcantara over the same 10. Ready to see him in Chicago.

    Just contract the rest of the league. Bulls eternal champions. We'll have parades every year and we don't even need a roster! The Cubs can add Trout, Stanton, Felix, etc. Don't care. Bears can load up on mercenary F.A. Fine. The bulls drafted Rose, Noah, Taj, Butler. They developed under Thibs. They earned the best record in the league twice, and were two baskets away from being up 3-2 on Miami with Keith Bogans at the 2. I've never seen a sports team with the resolve that this one has. And the roadblock has always been Lebron. There has been a legit story arc here, something you don't often get on a team-level in sports. It's not crazy to want to see that arc end in vanquishing Miami and winning a title. For the record Lebron is the only player I feel this way about, and I don't hate him by any means. And yes, Edmonds was unpalatable, but he was a small cog in the wheel. A wheel full of players from trades and free agency. He didn't become the face of the franchise.

    Same reaction here. Immediately thought of this Randy Marsh scene and lol'd. Exactly what I was referencing. Too lazy to GIF it.

    i want them to get lebron and crush everyone's testicles because i'm a bulls fan. A fan of laundry. It's okay. Most teams are just that. This Bulls team is one of the few in the NBA that's managed to somewhat transcend it. Lebron is incredible to watch, 2nd GOAT, but he's a frontrunning beta who quits on his team when things don't go his way. I don't see how it's unreasonable for some people to not want him to lead us to a championship. Maybe if there was no chance otherwise, but this team isn't that far away.

    Iowa has the day off? *puts head through china cabinet. *

    Rizzo

    muntjack replied to Banedon's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    Can't find his stats.
  9. muntjack
    Yes. I want to see a championship, but I want them to beat Lebron. I want to see this brand of basketball succeed. Getting a championship via Lebron would feel like sleeping with a hooker. A bald hooker.

    Rizzo

    muntjack replied to Banedon's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    The question is, is there anyone you trade Rizzo straight up for?
  11. muntjack
    Something something Jason Heyward.
  12. muntjack
    Well the D, anyhow. Noah can't do it alone. Thibs system requires everyone on a string. Not saying there aren't lots of guys who can do that, but Jimmy and Taj WILL do it, and Jimmy will do it for 48 minutes. They can also switch onto almost anyone and guard multiple positions in iso situations. Rose/Snell/Dunleavy/Love/Noah? Now we're trying to outscore everyone. And we have no bench.

    Norris and Pompey were the two Toronto guys I had been looking at. Like them both a lot. Nobody else above high A is very interesting, though. Matt Boyd (2013 6th round LHP) has very similar numbers to Norris ( K 30% BB 5%) in High A but he's two years older and needs to start moving up. Was really hoping to get an MLB ready OF out of Shark, but that looks unlikely.

    Adding Love would be great. Gutting the team (Taj and Buckets) for him seems bad. We need to add offense to our vaunted D, not trade one for the other. Taj Jimmy and Noah were finally going to start games together. I want to see that. We could keep them, keep a draft pick and S&T Boozer and the other pick (for Afflalo?) to keep our exceptions. That allows us to bring over Mirotic, bring back Augustin and grab another scorer (Warren?) in the draft Rose/D.J Afflalo/Snell Buckets/Dunleavy/Warren Taj/Mirotic Noah/Smith That is better than the 2011 Playoff roster that was two baskets away from being up 3-2 on the Heat.
  15. muntjack
    Taj/Buckets/16th/19th would leave us with Rose Snell Dunleavy Love Noah with a bench of Smith/Nazr with the MLE and BLE left to use, is this right?
  16. muntjack
    He and Gallo are in a league of their own. I really think Bryant should get some consideration for #1 overall, Ks be damned.
  17. muntjack
    I like to think about Tanaka in there instead of Jackson. Alcantara up, snagging another OF bat sometime this month. Really think we could have been making noise right now. Never could have guessed so many things would go so well, though. Rizzo, Castro, Valbuena, Hammel, Arrieta, Shark all having fantastic seasons.
  18. muntjack
    Seems to me they're going for plan B. Afflalo is exactly the guy I thought they would pursue before Melo became a thing. Something like Afflalo/Mirotic/Blatche with a Boozer amnesty is an off-season I could live with. Rose/Hinrich Afflalo/pick Butler/Dunleavy Gibson/Mirotic Noah/Blatche Or I suppose this could be step 1 in a Love deal, but I kind of doubt it.

    Speaking of Milwaukee, Shawn Zarraga is quite a story. 25 yr old switch hitting catcher in AA who has only 1152 PAs over eight seasons. He lost 25 lbs. in the offseason and well.......... 187 PAs .392/.489/.514 BB 16% K 5.9% <-----I mean........... BABIP .12 higher than his average. Gallo and Bryant are the only legit prospects who have higher wOBAs.
  20. muntjack
    Clint Coulter and Jorge Lopez would be great.
  21. muntjack
    I really want to see what happens when this guy gets called up. Is he a pitching genius? I just don't get it.
  22. muntjack
    It's too bad we've given over 700 ABs to guys with sub .600 OPS. Everyone hates on Lake, and I'll be happy myself when we can replace him, but he has the 5th best wOBA on the team. Replacing Barney and Schierholtz with even slightly positive players would make such a difference.
  23. muntjack
    Castros OPS now higher than Tulo's away from Coors.
  24. muntjack
    Bob
  25. muntjack
    This is true of all professoinal gamblers, of which none are successful. Haralabos Voulgaris That's got to be a made-up name. I know the guy.
