    It's not about maximizing an individual's value. If the Cubs are better off with Lee (or whomever) at SS and Castro at 2B rather than vice-versa, you go with it. I disagree. I think trading Castro for a king's ransom is better than making him a slightly above average 2nd baseman.
  2. muntjack
    I hope Castro never moves to 2nd. He is infinitely more valuable at SS.

    Are we really that excited to move up a spot or two? I like Wilken, but it seems like he's likely to "follow his instincts" again and pick someone who would have gone 23rd otherwise.

    Someone please explain to me why Koyie Hill is still a member of the Chicago Cubs. He is too old to improve, he is not an elite defensive catcher and he is one of the worst hitters to ever live.

    Tennessee keeps rolling, 16 runs tonight. Jackson 2/4 with a BB.

    Pretty sure I don't want the organization to attempt making Castro into their idea of a "leadoff hitter".

    Chirinos' numbers are getting pretty Pujolsian. 33/40 K/BB and a .261 ISOP? I know he turned 26 recently but my god. The last 4 years his OPS has gone .715 > .834 > .915 > .982 . The guy should be getting all of Koyie's ABs.
  9. muntjack
    Those ABs could be given to any other catcher in the system and it would benefit the organization infinitely more than giving them to Koyie Hill.
  10. muntjack
    Chirinos, please. There is no need for Koyie Hill to get another AB in a Cubs uniform.

    Like Wells, Liriano has suffered from a ridiculously high BABIP.
  12. muntjack
    Not swinging the bat has to be Koyie's best move in this spot.

    at this point, it doesn't matter, but Starlin's hitting 2nd. No one loves Castro more than I do, but Soto has been more productive.

    Q: How to spark struggling offense? A: Sit best hitter on team two days after an off day.
  15. muntjack
    To be fair, Arroyo is looking pretty good.
  16. muntjack
    Soto back to 8th? The guy has been one of the best hitters in the entire league this year and has been particularly hot as of late. Unless he has said something about feeling much more comfortable hitting 8th then there is just no excuse for this. Why isn't Lou questioned about it?

    The kid is already one of the most productive ss in baseball. How beautiful.

    Would anyone have thought that after his 1st 200 ABs Starlin would be 4th in MLB in OPS amongst SS? He could pass Alex Gonzalez soon, trailing only Hanley and Tulo. Very impressive.

    That inning should pay dividends, even though we didn't score. Hamels was laboring.
  21. muntjack
    Howry gonna Howry

    But the level of production really isn't the problem. Did we expect Aramis to be the worst hitter in baseball for two months? No. But did we expect Colvin to produce anywhere near what he has? No. Soriano and Soto have both bounced back. Carlos Silva could have been an all-star. Marlon Byrd is. There are a lot of Cubs playing well above preseason expectations. In close games, there is a level of variance that comes into play that is unmanageable. When you exacerbate a bad run of variance with really poor decision making in close games, you can easily end up in the Cubs position.
  23. muntjack
    I think Corey Patterson is burned too deep in some fans' psyches.
  24. muntjack
    There is just no chance the Cubs trade Colvin for anything short of a Felix Hernandez or Josh Johnson. The one guy hitting for power on the team who happens to be left handed and is a Wilken "told ya so" pick. Tyler Colvin is Jim Hendry's wet dream.

    Anyone with MLBtv last year remember it coming back early and overhearing Bob say "I wouldn't want my hands on this ****"? Really wishing I could hear what he's saying now.
