  1. Of course it does. Why would you even have to ask that?

  3. Of course; look at how often guys like Milton Bradley were given third, fourth, fifth, etc. chances. Stewart is still under 30, would be cheap, a former highly touted prospect, plays decent defense and still has the reasoning/excuse of his relatively recent surgery as why he might still succeed despite his struggles. I have no idea why you think this would be so career-ending when tons of people who have been much, much, much worse, both on and off the field, have bounced around.
  4. At least Rizzo's been walking and putting together good PAs it still hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrts.
  5. Rizzo over the last four weeks: .205 .298 .373 .671 Castro over the last four weeks: .159 .213 .205 .417 [expletive] you, gods.
  6. Nobody gives a [expletive]. 4 PA, 2 HR, 2 K, at home in Colorado. Same old Colvin. Why would anyone honestly give a [expletive]?
  7. Because he's a better defender than Baez will ever be? Nevermind Baez likely won't be up until 2015; I'm hugely let down by Starlin so far this year, but it's just a tad premature to be thinking he's a lock to needing to be moved to make room for someone else almost two years from now.
  8. Interesting read. Thanks. Someone stupid-fy it down for me.
  9. He looks like he's about to go sing "Puttin' on the Ritz" with Gene Wilder.
  10. The Cubs need desperately bullpen help. The amount of times I see people willing to just chuck Russell out the door for a trade is baffling; sometimes you can't let go of your valuable players if it's from a position of extreme need.
  11. Probably not.
  12. He needed a new scapegoat in his quest to butcher player names with one letter... That's hysterical.
  13. I find your inability to cope with this particular crappy Cub season (as compared to the many in the past) amusing. I'm coping just fine; I just have little interest in minor league baseball, so waiting for those guys to pan out doesn't exactly make watching the major league team any less gruesome. It should help alleviate the pain. Granted even the most blue chip of prospects is no sure thing, but it's been a long time since we've had a crop like we do now. Back in the early 00's when the last wave of the future was on its way, I probably didn't even know where to go to check a minor league box score, so it is exciting to have a new generation of potential stars after several years of potential role players to sprinkle in here and there. Kind of like having $17 in the bank account, but hey, your stocks are trending up. Right, so when it actually pays off I'll enjoy it. I get that there are people who love following minor league baseball; I'm not one of them outside of sometimes checking the box scores.
  14. Clever spin; clearly that's Kane's work.

  16. Even when he makes good contact he's fucked; he had a solid line drive that would have driven in an RBI with a single except Phillips made an amazing leaping catch to snag it.
  17. Yeah, it'll be great when he's either a productive major league player or traded for one. Until then he's about as real as [expletive] Mickey Mouse.
  18. Sweet, maybe it'll just be one more full season of baseball garbage. But probably not.
  19. You do realize you don't only trade for prospects who are a long ways from playing on the Major League team, right?
