    Stewart isn't a question, you jackwagon my hope is to woo Stephen Drew (with money) for 2B, sign BJ Upton for CF, and be left without a single weak spot in the lineup; Castillo can hit 8th and probably be perfectly fine go after Liriano/Anibal/Marcum/Peavy? to augment the rotation and you shore up just about everything for roughly the price of one Cole Hamels* *i may be underselling what these three will get, who the hell knows Definitely agree on Drew. The problem with Upton is that we don't know what we have in Jackson yet, so I wouldn't want to pay what he'd cost unless we were sure that Jackson woudlnt pan out. That's a terrible philosophy. I mean, MAYBE you could argue for that if Jackson had a shot to be a slam dunk, but he doesn't. If he pans out he's likely going to be a useful, solid player, but not someone you have to bypass productive FA for.

    2B, 3B, C and the entire OF are pretty big [expletive] questions in that lineup.

    That's hysterical. I'm a big fan of cyborg umps, but I'd weirdly miss stuff like this; it's entertaining as hell.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    HUGE middle ground you're glossing over there. And also pretty intellectually dishonest to act like all of those things are as likely as relying on prospects and IFA hampered by the new CBA or trades.
  5. Sammy Sofa
    Or he'd just be added to the pile. Seems more likely.
  6. Sammy Sofa
    OK, so it's not a word that makes any sense in that context. Bumgarner is pretty cool.

    Agree to disagree. You don't think there's a realistic shot they could be a mediocre or bad team in 2014? We're getting into semantics now, but my expectation is that they're 5-7 games better than last year in 2012, and 5-7 games better than that(if not more) in 2013. I think this year is the last year for the forseeable future that winning less than 75 games is a significant/probable outcome. I hope you're right.

    And I know "realistic" is a broad term; I'm not saying they're necessarily likely to be a bad/middling team in 2014, but it wouldn't surprise if that was what happened given the way they're seemingly trying to build this team.

    "Ratting" is not a word. And a little bit of column A and a little bit of column you're insane.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    There's been a few, but most are simply recognizing that there's a good shot that this team sucks next year, too. And it's not a stretch to think things don't work out as hoped and they're bad beyond that.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    What "freaking out?"
  13. Sammy Sofa
    But maybe something happened between the last time somebody considered a change and now? Actual news, son.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    One again: actual news, the thread titles change.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    You're kidding with this, right? You honestly think the FO signed him because of his 6-2 record against the Cubs? That might be the stupidest thing you've posted here if you weren't joking.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Drop Bautista Add Kemp IMPULSE.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    You can start by giving me fifteen pieces of chicken, [expletive]. AND MIX IT UP.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    He can't?

    Maholm is this year's Jeff Blauser. His career record is good at Wrigley Field is good because he faced the Cubs all those years not because he is good. Nevermind that Maholm's been pretty terrible against the Cubs and that he's been league average over his career. Shut up, he's too busy formulating a complicated 8-way trade for Andres Galarraga that involves time travel and cybernetics to pay attention to reality.

    I heard Loria is marrying your mom.

    The 4th inning happened. I'm not going to pretend it didn't and declare Volstad's outing to be good. It wasn't all Castro's error, balls were being hit all over the place. It was a nightmare, and can't happen if he's going to be a good starter. This is another joke, right? 3 earned runs is a "nightmare?"
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Hey, that's a real, real, real shame.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    That makes me want to weep.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    It's SCIENCE.
