when you sign Eric Sogard as your big-ticket acquisition, nobody will think that you have "won the off-season", which, is a good thing, i am told, by the GM
trying to do what the Rays and Giants did is a really cool and novel idea until you think about it for precisely one second and remember oh yeah we tried to do what the Rays and Giants did and that simply became Trevor Williams and Zach Davies and Jake Arrieta conducting personal HR derbys

That’s not it at all. It’s this mock disbelief that people on the cubs message board are discussing the players who are currently playing for the cubs. You chose to click on a topic with a very clear subject that fits in pretty well with the purpose of the board. On the flip side, the Cubs actively chose to tank this year and put the fans in a situation where if they want to think about their team they have to discuss garbage players and whether those garbage players have a chance to play for the team next year. That sucks, it should be inexcusable for a fan base that provides a tremendous financial cushion to the owners who are acting as though they are the greatest victims of the covid shutdown. If a fan wants to express his frustration with the situation that the owners of the team chose to the put them into, then they should feel free to do so without being criticized by fans who think we should just shut up and accept the situation. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2630
50 games of data showing him completely helpless at the plate should have him outside the top 10 in favor of guys who have shown literally anything at the most important aspect of the game what's the archetype here? who has far more whiffs than total bases but then suddenly puts it all together to become a passable player? like, is he playing through mono i think we don't want to admit this has all the early signs of a likely bust
this is pretty good overall but i still kinda hate how uninspiring 1B/DH remains; have to think you can aim a little higher on potential there..with likely DH, Josh Bell becomes a good target or maybe Luke Voit Anthony Rizzo idk
This is what pisses me off. Watching Bryant cry when finding out he was traded and knowing that the return was underwhelming. You didn't *have* to dump Bryant. Keeping him gives you at least a better chance of re-signing him, and if he doesn't then the worst case scenario is a comp pick. I just don't know why Jed thought he had to dump all 3 for whatever he could get. *And i like the Rizzo and Kimbrel trades and thought Javy's was ok. But this seems terrible to me. i mean they supposedly gave him 200+ million reasons to stay and he chose not to, it's a business
