Maybe he thinks SF is playing over their heads and are going to fall apart in the playoffs. He could be a GENIUS. -
I'm definitely picking Soriano for the Quiz Bowl instead of Rose.
-
didn't you want pujols too? Of course. I could have wanted Ugmar the Mountain Troll and it wouldn't negate the sucking of letting Cespedes get away. Having Cespdes changes things drastically for 2013; yeah, 2012 wouldn't have been much better, but going forward with Castro/Rizzo/Castillo/Cespedes/Barney/DeJesus/Reborn Soriano would have made the planning in this offseason much less depressing. Go sign Upton, figure out how to Band-Aid 3B for the time being and hey, you've got yourself a respectable lineup for 2013. *Sigh*
-
Ugh, I just looked at his stats and wanted to fight the world.
-
HE DON'T SPEAK ANGLISH.

The Cespedes thing gnaws at my soul.

I can't. I can only see that it perhaps has. It's a plausible explanation for why we fielded so many awful players, especially the bullpen. So, in other words, you were just saying things. I was going to make a comment on the Chicago Cubs baseball team, and that comment was a thing that I said. You mean the team that hasn't been to a World Series since 1945, since that is as much a relevant point to this discussion about the new FO as is inexplicably bringing up the team's recent playoff history. You're the hated looper, Kyle, not them.

The internet doesn't work like that. Now explain how "the market" has somehow negated the FO's ability to recognize useful cheap players.
-
You know.
-
Oh, alright then. So you're doing this now.
-
Yet the FO has had a good track record of finding value in the past, so are you really worried that they've somehow forgotten how to do that? Of course not.

I count 11 of them as coming from outside the organization, including Hill and Lopez as re-signs. How many actually contributed a -1.0 WAR (or worse) on their own? Dolis, Germano, Volstad Clevenger, Vitters, Mather That's about what I expected.

Didn't most of those sub-replacement players come from within the organization?

A heartfelt thank you from Peoria
Sammy Sofa replied to ChiefsVoice's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Nice. Thanks for everything! -
There's really no excuse for Mather being on the roster: he'd been garbage for the two years prior to 2012. I wouldn't say it's a huge deal, because who the [expletive] is going to predict a -2.0 WAR? Offensively he was in line with his expected turdiness, but his defense apparently fell off of a cliff.
-
"Crummy 2012" is putting it gently. I still can't believe he managed a -2.0 WAR season. Even Neifi only managed that once in his career.

Always fun. Thanks for managing this, Southpaw. -
Executive Approval Poll - Post 2012 season
Sammy Sofa replied to Transmogrified Tiger's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Don't know yet. -
At some point, Epstein has to take the blame for either the 2012 Red Sox or Cubs. He can't dodge both. Hey, you want to hang three bad teams on the FO, champ. Reach for the stars!
-
No.
-
Yes.
-
YEAH, THEY SURE NEED TO FIND MORE MONEY TO NOT SPEND.
-
That's some good flutin', boy.
