    You are in top form today.

    People underestimate the impact that the new CBA had on Theo's plan. It pretty much forced his hand in that you have to suck in order to get the top talents in the draft. Before that, you could just overslot a bunch of guys and still have a good draft even when picking in the 20's. Same with the IFA restrictions.

    And then we traded Jon Garland for Matt Karchner just a few short weeks later.

    May is throwing a lot of hittable fastballs early in the count. I expect us to be more aggressive as the game goes on.

    Was Jackie Bradley drafted by this regime?

    Any interest in Cashner if the Padres make him available? I also hope the Orioles will make Gausmann available at some point.

    Any chance Greinke would accept 4/100? I would do that in a heartbeat. Greinke is better than Lester and will be a year older than he was when we signed him. There's no way he's that cheap. Plus he's not going to opt out just to get one extra year at $22 million. He's going to want at least 6 years.

    Have to figure the next two rounds are going to be the overslot guys, given the run of seniors and low-ceiling players for the past few rounds.
  11. KingCubsFan
    Probably somewhere between 3-5.

    Wasted season? It sucks, but I wouldn't go that far if it's only a month. If you can't trade Baez in July it's a wasted season That's extreme. You can still trade him in the winter.

    It's a fracture.

    A sprained ankle shouldn't take that long.

    Just like in 2003 the 2003 cubs were heavily built on pitching (much of which got hurt) and their only young regulars were patterson, ramirez, and choi in a platoon. the average position player on the 2015 cubs is 5 years younger than the average position player on the 2003 cubs. I'm not trying to draw exact parallels between the 2003 Cubs and 2015 Cubs. I'm just saying that you can't pass up a good deal and just assume your team is going to be good for the next decade because you have good young talent. I wouldn't give up Schwarber for a rental, but if the Cubs think they have a good shot this year they should try and add pieces.
  17. KingCubsFan
    Just like in 2003
  18. KingCubsFan
    Agreed, except for that horrible swing on 2-0. I like that they moved him closer to the plate.
  19. KingCubsFan
    He's third in all of baseball in FIP over the past month.
  20. KingCubsFan
    You'll definitely get a ticket unless you have a guest pass. There used to be permit-free parking near Barry and Racine but I don't know if that's still the case.
  21. KingCubsFan
    I'm sure coaches will be lining up to interview given the Bulls' history with head coaches. That press release doesn't help.
  22. KingCubsFan
    I wonder what kind of pitching we could get for Castro at this point. A guy like DeGrom is almost certainly out of the equation now.
  23. KingCubsFan
    I'm not really sure what to make of Soler's season so far. On the one hand, he has the third highest K% among outfielders and an unsustainable .413 BABIP. But he also has one of the highest LD%, Hard Hit %, and Medium Hit %, and his HR/FB% is only 9.7%. His O-Swing% is slightly higher than it was last year, and the only other big change to his plate discipline is that he's missing more on pitches he swings at outside of the zone. The contact rate is also too low, but that's due to swinging at too many balls.
  24. KingCubsFan
    Law just dropped him in at 15, interestingly enough. Hasn't quite bought into him catching, but said he's probably pretty close to being our best left field option already. Did he say anything about his LF defense? He said in a chat last week that he though Schwarber's defense would be fine in LF if he was brought up now.
  25. KingCubsFan
    The simplicity of reaching to be a 20 win pitcher is appealing to them all. Most of them probably don't care about the difference between a 12 and 14 win season, but that 20 mark has significance to players and they don't want to lose that, along with the career milestone numbers like 250/300. I think a lot of players equate the stat with longevity/durability, which is something they all strive for. If you win 18 or 19 games in a season, chances are you threw a lot of innings and pitchers take pride in that. And if you get to 250 wins, that means you were at least pretty good for a long period of time.
