he out-rushed all 3 RBs on my roster, collectively

Mike Leake
sneakypower replied to David's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
that's about a perfect fit; pretty nice deal on their part imo -
if they care about player safety (they don't) that's at least a 1-game ban
-
25/44, 340 passing yards, 5 TD, 0 INT 8 rushes /100 rushing yards nbd
-
Delanie Walker just scored one of the most impressive TDs i've seen all season and a hearty laugh goes out to commentators who think anybody besides Cam ought to be MVP
-
i think i saw Joe say he wanted to go Zobrist-Heyward 1-2 but that might've been a lucid dream not my favorite permutation but that'd set it up probably like Zobrist 2B Heyward CF Rizzo 1B Bryant 3B Schwarber DH Soler RF Coghlan LF Montero C Russell SS

The TOR (Top of Rotation) pitching options
sneakypower replied to spaincubsfan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
this is the nice thing about a 100+ win projection, you can kind of see through ceiling gambles like Jorcules & Baez; every Cubs fan knows they've been bad in the majors to this point, but with a theoretical 11 win divisional cushion we can give them a few AB to see what exactly we've got and not have to worry about them being these landmines that are going to single-handedly torpedo our season the upside is far greater than the downside, on this team -
...does Friedman consummate these deals with rohypnol? like, is the paperwork being submitted to league offices with squiggly-ass signatures?
-
they won because Gary Kubiak hates touchdowns
-
this was a no-brainer guy we'd lust after; only 5 qualified hitters expanded the zone less often than Des last year

Trying to decide if I like these headphones or not
sneakypower replied to David's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
yeah those are pretty bad, but i guess it beats being seen in public with something like these http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61%2By3fxkl6L._SY450_.jpg -

i think that's what a Hammel trade would look like; think of how much sense an Aaron Blair - Hammel swap would have made, assuming, you know, sanity had prevailed Was it you or someone else who called me crazy for suggesting such a trade a while back? I thought it was you telling me I had a warped sense of Hammel's value if I thought he could get back a MLB-ready pitcher. i want to say it might've been SSR? or maybe it was you expecting something like Jose DeLeon in return but it's hard to be sure; i'd been touting Mike Leake as a nice "breakout" option, assuming 4/60 or 5/75, i think...if he and/or Chen are due nine figures in this market then like i said above, that makes Hammel look a whole lot better as a trade chip

i think that's what a Hammel trade would look like; think of how much sense an Aaron Blair - Hammel swap would have made, assuming, you know, sanity had prevailed likewise, the Cardinals have a 400+ IP hole to fill- when the alternatives are throwing 9(!) figures at Chen or Leake, maybe giving up Luke Weaver or Marco Gonzales for the same kind of pitcher, only due 2 years and $18M starts to look pretty desirable (this is more a basic example that admittedly ignores the obvious hurdles in StL/CHC dealings)
-
No it doesnt? Dave Stewart's happy with his delicious doorstop ugh i gotta explain everything
-
thinking on it, this sums up the trade pretty well http://babysimpson.co.uk/gallery/frames/4/9f15/164.jpg

This is only an educated guess and when the Cub Reporter/AZ Phil updates their 40 man we'll know for sure, but I believe Warren is in the same boat as Grimm and Brothers. They have options, but they have to pass through Optional Assignment Waivers (which are revocable) in order to be sent down. In the case of Brothers that's probably not a huge barrier, but it seems likely that someone would try to claim Grimm or Warren so it's probably best to assume they can't be sent to Iowa. For the sake of completeness, but at the risk of a rebuke from sneaky, Hendricks could still be sent down. he could, but i'll happily bet you this year's RK MLB 1st he won't be
