Trading Soriano
Sammy Sofa replied to ctcf's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Man, you are just not gonna let the idea of the crap sandwich die, are you? -
So this is the blurb under the headline in a Yahoo story about Chris Sale: Really? "Coddled?" Go [expletive] yourself.

Oooh, him card read good.

MEAT. CUBS WIN!

Hairston has such a 'roided-out, pro wrestler look going on with his head/face.
-
Is that what happened ?? Pat & Keith never mentioned that ! It wasn't that blatant. Kinda grazed him with his glove when he threw his hands up in disgust. Oh, it was blatant. He was poking him with his glove; basically like you would if you were grabbing someone's arm as you were talking to them.

My definition of a ton must be different. The last few years I've been there were perhaps 200 people in line by the time they opened the gates. Still quite a few but a far cry from the mid-00s. It's typically down the block, especially on weekends.
-
The bleachers open up two hours before the game, and yes, there's usually a ton of people lining up.

What the [expletive] is this nonsense?

Blackouts Be Gone! Lawsuit Names Selig, MLB TV Networks
Sammy Sofa replied to JockJones's topic in General Baseball Talk
Sorry, but I want the Cubs to get that phat TV cash. Go away, lawsuit. -
Man, that's eerily similar to the parody post SSR made earlier.
-
Kyle, them's the breaks when you switch your argument at the drop of a post just because you can.
-
Yeah, who was thinking Cespedes was likely to just blow up and be amazing his first year?
-
This is now Kyle's new thing. It's hysterical how he has, like, 8 different conflicting viewpoints in thread alone.
-
No, I was just lazy and came in mid-argument. WAIT, WHAT, NO, THAT NEVER HAPPENS.

Rizzo called up
Sammy Sofa replied to mred's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
That article and the comments are a little depressing. The implication is that some scouts are worried he can't hit advanced velocity. It seems to me like that's exactly the kind of hole AAA, full of marginal MLB veteran arms, would suck at exploiting. What the hell article did you read? -

Doesn't everyone? -
That's because you're Kyle.

You mean like spending six months saying it would be inexcusable for the Cubs to slash payroll and rebuild, and now saying it was understandable given the circumstances? It was unnecessary. I disagree with it. Did then, do now. But it's understandable given the circumstances they walked in on last fall. Now it is not. Yes, this.

It was just about this time a year ago that TT (and myself, and others) repeatedly made it abundantly clear that we didn't have to go through this year of suck. Epstein disagreed. What makes you so confident that this time will be different? Because the arguments are different. I admire your persistence. Last year it was a barren farm system that wouldn't allow for significant trades and a FA class that didn't jive with the team at the point they were at (though they tried for Darvish and Cespedes). Now you have even more money and more tradeable assets (and likely more to come). They have more to work with.
-
They don't have to go through "one more year of suck" to get to that point, as TT has made abundantly clear. And I'm saying the FO thinks you're wrong. A year's worth of extremely high picks and IFA budget, plus the ability to see what you have with Brett, Castillo, Vitters, and whoever else may be acquired trumps the possibility to win 75-80 games, lose some prospects, lose draft and IFA positioning, and still not win a WS. Trade Garza and Dempster and you have more than enough pieces to work with. And you can't always "see what you have" because often that kills trade value. If you wait to do that with too many prospects you destroy your assets.
