    I'd settle for a Choo or an Ellsbury, guys that sound rather unlikely with comments like that.

    GIVE ME ABREU OR GIVE ME DEATH.

    Why the [expletive] are they even bunting.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    Go sit on your old timey horse [expletive] and spin.

    Its funny, half the reason i became a big cubs fan is because as a kid i preferred national league baseball and my hometown team was an AL team. Now i cant wait for the nl to adopt the DH. So many of the things I loved about the Cubs as a kid (NL team, WGN, Wrigley Field, rooftops, day games, etc.) are now things that I can't stand because they're holding the team back.

    I really don't want to be looking at Rizzo with hatred-lasers coming out of my eyeballs while the Cuban Miguel Cabrera is annihilating pitches for another team. I really don't.

    While Ernie Banks has turned into an old lady.

    The "all prospect" nonsense is looking more and more like a necessity.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    Amazing timing.

    Schierholtz has only 2 HR less than Rizzo in over 150 fewer PA.

    It's not meatball-y at all; the Cubs are kinda fucked if at least two of those guys don't pan out.

    [expletive], I can't expected to actually watch this garbage with more than a sideways glance.

    Got a late jump on a grounder and ends up having it go past him after diving for it. Definitely not his finest moment, but the run likely scores regardless.

    Hell, go by BR and they have it as a -1.1 WAR season between a 4.8 and an 8.1. Wow, what the hell happened that year? His offensive output really dropped off, but his value was REALLY dragged down by an insane -3.6 dWAR.

    Heyward has fluctuated between being a good/useful player and awesome. Castro has now fluctuated between good and suck.

    I'm really starting to hate NL baseball.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Glorious.

    Kinda love this comment:

    Please point out "the rush to get rid of him or give up on him." Potentially trading high isn't just dumping a guy. We know you can't, but go ahead and try anyway. And what's your problem with Valbuena? He's been a decent player. Is this like when you were bizarrely railing on DeJesus last year because of some imagine slight against Barney?

    He hasn't taken an "upswing since July;" he had a hot streak and is now back to stinking again. His third season showed little to no development offensively from the first two seasons and his dWAR has regressed back to what it was two seasons ago, helping him put up a NEGATIVE WAR for the season thus far. There's a "dip" and then there's just flat out having a terrible season after a seemingly stagnant offensive season the year before. And fielding percentage? Seriously? It's .976, and his other three seasons it's been .971, .971 and .970.

    His reputation is [expletive] right now (and was already pretty bad before this season); I wouldn't mind trading him either (which depresses the hell out of me), but I just don't think it's likely that the Cubs would get value back that outweighs the chance of bounceback (which, right now, holds more need/value to the Cubs than other teams based on what seems to be the perception of Castro).
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Not sure why you'd want to trade him with his value at its lowest and no ready-made replacement immediately ready to step in. Because: 1) We don't know that his value is at its lowest. Right now, his value incorporates the possibility that he bounces back and that he doesn't. If he doesn't, then his value goes lower. The whole "sell high/buy low" thing has become completely misunderstood. It's not misunderstood; just because his value can get lower doesn't mean that it isn't already low enough now to likely negate any real value you'd get in trading him. Sliding from crap to really crappy isn't necessarily a dealbreaker, especially when, again, you're talking about a player who the attitude about generally seems to be that he's really flawed and very possibly not panning out. He's basically stuck in this middle ground where it's not worth moving him.

    Not sure why you'd want to trade him with his value at its lowest and no ready-made replacement immediately ready to step in. Yeah, seems like you'd be trading for pennies on the dollar at this point. Outside of having a bad year, sure seems like the perception of Castro is pretty low around baseball.

    Plus his glove is big and sexy and OHGODTHINGSAREN'TWORKINGOUTLETSJUMPOFFOFALLOFTHEBRIDGES

    Rizzo has also been resoundingly unimpressive for a good stretch, too, and outside of an OBP spike in June has just gotten worse as the year has gone on. But he's walking at a decent clip, so I'm sure someone will tell me that makes everything else OK or something.
