[expletive] it, I'll go full meatball here. How'd we do in the playoffs again? Honestly, I get what you're saying, but I've always had it in my head that pitching wins in the playoffs. Cold weather, elite stuff, keeps bats at bay. Time to go to bed. May be. But seriously, can someone give me something that backs up why elite pitching doesn't win in the playoffs?

I love Bosio but we can't just count on him to fix everyone. We can count on him to fix enough. Plus we have tons of relievers. Give me a version of your realistic rotation next year..... Maeda Arrieta Wood Jackson Straily/Hendricks Basically add any one or two FA SPs from the not-Scherzer/Lester pile. It's not ZOMG no-doubt awesome, but it's good enough. I still want a sure thing before his arm inevitably falls off.

Javy or Russell(or Starlin) to Seattle for Walker, Paxton, and Sanchez.

2014 Cubs Pick Discussion

So roughly $100k left for anyone else still out there? Not sure if you mean on top of the 100,000 max on 11-40 or not. But we gave 3B Kevonte Mitchell 200,000. So about 115,000 is all we can offer a guy. I think we're done. -
The success rates of top 10 hitters is soooo much better than top 10 pitchers. http://www.royalsreview.com/2011/2/14/1992424/success-and-failure-rates-of-top-mlb-prospects I've linked this before, but it's worth a refresher. No way do we make a one for one deal of a top hitting prospect for a top pitching prospect.
-
Isn't Russell a really good SS? (Defensively obviously) You thinking one at each of 2B, SS, and 3B?
-
So you think they'll move Starlin so they can keep Russell and Baez? Or trade one of those 2 obviously. I guess it probably NEEDS to be Javy or Russell in order to compete next year.
-
Seriously, I'm thinking the Mets, Pirates, and Mariners are all set up pretty well to make a run at Starlin.
-
Well, I hope Billy gets his WS this year. Ballsy move on his part.
-
3 of BP's top 6, and Alcantara is 18.
-
Starlin is going to see his name pop up quite a bit now, I'd imagine.
-
The always lovable PTBNL. David-PTBNL have to be announced within 6 months, drafted guys can't be dealt for 12.
-
Don't really know what to think here. I think my first thought is its OK.
-
I want more than Russell if we've dealt both.
-
Straily and Pomeranz are both hurt.
-
His "source" being Twitter and having heard of Arismendy, but not Raul.
-
Sonny Gray would be in it, in my opinion.
-
[expletive] that. He's not far off from Russell. Dude has 2k followers. Probably got the wrong Alcantara. Good call. In all honesty, I can't imagine dealing Shark this early without getting back a major league pitcher back. Out of Straily, Pomeranz, and Millone, I'd think one is definitely involved in this.
-
Dude, that would be *fun*. I trust our guys to get good value no matter who is involved. If they pull the trigger NOW, then yeah, I agree the haul will be nice.
-
[expletive] that. He's not far off from Russell.
-
Now I'm worried Starlin is involved.
-
lol just clean out the farm system Alcantara hasn't pitched since [expletive] April. He may or may not have just had TJS. Ynoa has flat out sucked, by the way. And both are on the 40 man, for what it's worth.
