One of the main reasons in having a good farm system is to have assets for trades, especially impact moves. Nobody gets anything extra for hording their [expletive] prospects. Not saying you have to keep them all, next trade deadline when the Cubs are hopefully contending, we'll have the pieces to go out and improve the team and fill needs. THEY ARE CONTENDING, FOR THE LOVE OF [expletive]. They're 7-9 in a stretch against their easiest schedule of the season and the Giants look like they're going to roll through the rest of the season. Even if they make the playoffs, they're not getting past Pittsburgh, St. Louis, and LA. Gee, it's almost like improving the team now would improve their chances or something. What a novel concept. There's always going to be tough competition and they're not likely to just run away with the division any time soon, so this idea of just giving up as soon as they face any kind of struggles is just a self-fulfilling prophecy to do nothing and apparently end up with a team where they have a couple homegrown players sharing a uniform at every position because why the hell not. -
Because God forbid they actually dare to move any of their precious, precious prospects when they don't have a 15 game-lead at the top of the division. Why do you want to go back to the Jim Hendry Way so badly? And nothing but gigantic contracts as far as the eye can see!

Castro in the 9th this year: .286 .324 .400 .724 Castro in extras: .462 .563 .462 1.024 It's basically the only thing he's still good at.
-
SO MUCH UGH ON EVERY POSSIBLE LEVEL.
-
He's gonna have to get rid of the car and switch to those giant bags of generic cereal from the bottom shelf if they sign Price But that's his house!
-
Only for teams run by a guy who regularly cooks his breakfast off of a hot engine block.
-
I guess they just settle for a .275+ average out of the goodness of their hearts.
-
Baez is certainly coming up soon if he's not traded.
-
Yeeeeeee-haw.
-
Rockies striking out like they're the Cubs or something.
-
1 of those is not like the others 2 of them are not like the other; Motte as the closer is a bad idea, but despite his limitations he's been an effective reliever this year.
-
Lester is on a rampage today.
-
Fowler Russell Rizzo Bryant Schwarber Soler Coghlan Baez Pitcher Perfect L/R balance. But I'm sure the pitcher will continue to bat 8th. If Russell and Fowler keep hitting then it isn't the time to stop them hitting 9-1. Or bat Coghlan #9.
-
Lester likea da juice today.
-
They say, "hey, you're not starting anymore." Before they made time for him out of the hope he'd turn it around, either to make him appealing in a trade or so that he could again contribute to the team like he had before. It's now the end of July and he's looking worse than ever; there's no reason they'd need to dance around keeping him as the starter if Baez doesn't get traded. It's a non-existent problem.
-
Big Time Lester Les.
-
OK! See you next year then!
-
Oh. Right.
-
Soler with signs of life too. Not for a ton of power yet but .350 over the last 5 games and several lineouts that could have been XBHs If Baez shows up and somehow isn't a baseball C.H.U.D. I will believe again. I want to believe again.
-
Sexist.
-
Great, of course I can't actually watch today's game.
-
Sounds like Mojo Whut.
