    Yes.

    Settle down, erik.

    Starlin Castro, 2B awaits.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    Well, THAT would [expletive] suck.
  5. Sammy Sofa
    You're turgid right now, aren't you?
  6. Sammy Sofa
    Oh, so this is the thing that Kyle is doing now.
  7. Sammy Sofa
    Yup. Right in line with someone who'd be an Eagles/Mets fan. Or a Red Sox/Giants fan. Hey, I'm a Redskins/Phillies fan, I'm totally normal!

    If the Cubs sign Fielder and then trade Garza, that would seem to be a conflict of interest unless they are getting a guaranteed young stud pitcher, which is basically not going to happen. Why? The persistent message of Hoystein is that the Cubs want to make moves that help them both now and in the future, but if they conflict, then the long-term means more. Fielder on a six-year deal fits that description. He's a short-term and long-term asset. Garza, at the moment, is merely a short-term asset. If you have a chance to flip a short-term asset for a long-term asset, you do it. Fielder is a short-term asset and a long-term liability. If you sign Fielder or Pujols, it signals you're trying to win now. Yup, that's the only possible outcome of such a signing. Absolutely no regard for the future signing bums like those.

    That's the diplomatic way of putting it.

    Anyone would because the Braves competed in many WS and actually won one. If they hadn't won that one, would you still pick the Braves? yes because at least you get to see the cubs playing good baseball and in october year in and year out as opposed to watching crap year in and year out Exactly. I'd prefer a consistently competitive team than one that somehow manages to sneak a WS and then vanishes for 5-10 years.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    I wouldn't. I'd rather have a Braves in the 90's-type situation.

    D'oh, I wasn't thinking that through. His defense there is just as bad, though. Eh, looking at his dWAR on BR I'm actually surprised at how NOT horrible defensively he's been more often than not. I was expecting a lot worse. Yeah, he's had some brutal years in there, but I was expecting wall-to-wall awfulness.

    Wait, I thought the Dunn hypothetical was based on the idea that the Cubs miss out on both Pujols and Fielder, which seemingly would mean Dunn would be, almost out of necessity on several levels, playing 1B and not LF.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    9.2

    It's a salary dump if you're sending more salary out than you'd be taking back. Unless the Cubs pick up all of his contract, It'd still be a salary dump. Not much of one, granted. It would also depend on what their plans are to replace him. If both Soriano and Byrd are moved they're almost certainly going to have to trade for or sign another OF, in which case they could easily be paying more for that new OF AND Soriano than what they're paying now.

    With a wit like that it's no wonder he has so many famous friends.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Somehow I think he'll be OK.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    A bucket of sand would be better than LaHair.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    Man, he looks like a creeper.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    *Slow clap* Oh, but he'll say you can't read because he DOES want the Cubs to sign truly elite players to affordable deals when the time is just right. Y'know, those guys.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Yes, but some people can't process the concept of gray area. Well done.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Make it $210 million so he can show off $30 million a year.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Or 6. Or even 7.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    Fixed. And Tebow would never do something like using his powers to injure Forte. He will lay His hands upon him next week and heal him and Cutler so the team can be at full strength when he brings unto them the pulpit of His domination.
