    Yeah, none of those guys have any value whatsoever.

    The scuttlebutt is that Hendry didn't have the money available to him to land Beltran; he wanted to add him and made an offer, but the Tribune limited the dollars.
  3. Sammy Sofa
    Who wouldn't? I'm just amused by the "THEY NEED TO GO NOW" false urgency from some people. Move them when the deal is there.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    Wait, what? The Cubs weren't typically "taken advantage" of under Hendry; their main problems stemmed from the choices they made when it came to signings and FA.
  5. Sammy Sofa
    Nobody "needs to go" before they can start building for the next good team immediately.
  6. Sammy Sofa
    Still doesn't explain why it's apparently an either/or proposition.
  7. Sammy Sofa
    HE MUST POST.
  8. Sammy Sofa
    Sexy.

    He was #62 last year.

    Lists aren't out yet, but I'd just about guarantee a top 10 this year. Good chance they have 5 guys in BA's top 100 in Miller, Martinez, Wong, Taveras and Cox. That's a huge leap. You really think they jumped 15+ spots in the rankings in a single season?
  11. Sammy Sofa
    They have a top 10 farm system and no contracts that look to be albatrosses. 55 mil in guaranteed money in 2013, 25 in 2014 and 26 in 2015. A good system and a lot of money is pretty much exactly how you'd want to be set up for the long term, isn't it? Who has the Cardinals system ranked in the top 10? Serious question, because BA had you guys ranked 24th last year. Yeah, I thought going into last year the Cards had a pretty crappily rated system. Did they have a bunch of guys take big leaps coupled with a great draft?
  12. Sammy Sofa
    Gee, it's almost like signing impact free agents could help.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    Congratulations: you've just recognized the reality of almost every big ticket FA.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    Boy, you showed him Mr Mod! well, moderator. we just say moderator. Yesssssss.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    So he's Joey Gathright/Felix Pie reincarnated. Wait, don't we already have Tony Campana? what the [expletive] does he actually have in common with Felix Pie??? Speed, strikes out twice as often as he walks, no power. Pie put up a .468 slugging performance in the minors
  16. Sammy Sofa
    I just talked to my lunch as it erupted all over my desk.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    TWO OF THOSE GUYS ARE GONE AFTER THE NEXT SEASON. God [expletive] dammit.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Debatable.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    Debatable.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    Yes, exactly. One can hate this while not losing sight of the bigger picture.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    I haven't "turned on them;" as I've stated numerous times it's just awful to witness right now. I'm more than willing to give the FO the time they need to turn it around, but in the meantime I'm not going to pretend [expletive] like this is enjoyable or reason for optimism. If they're going for the long rebuild it's going to really, really suck for a while. I'm also still hoping they're going to end up with Prince and one of the Cubans, plus maybe pull off an awesome trade or two. It's just awful at this moment.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    There's nothing to imagine. Aramis and Pena are gone and they've been replaced by Ian [expletive] Stewart and nobody so far.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Yes. We are frothing at the mouth and rending our garments.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    I don't feel bad for him at all. He was terrible at his job.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    Pujols was the top of the heap; it made sense for him and his agent to set the market, not let it be set for them. Now that you have the big names gone Fielder and Boras can take their time to get the deal they want. There's no reason for them to rush anything.
