    I say we take a chance. Let's be awesome Jimmy Conway giving out huge tips and kicking asses instead of stupid Morrie always crying about his money.

    History is filled with people who were skeptical of innovative thinking. Baseball history especially.

    Of course extrapolating the trend Castillo should be solidly positive next year :-) http://img.pandawhale.com/post-19430-Wonka-gif--Wait-a-minute-strik-Fe67.gif

    Makes sense to me. Umpires are horrible jerks who need to be coddled like fat babies.

    I swear it's like the coaches are going with a simplistic, "well, they THINK we'll be doing this, so we'll d something else!"-approach when it comes to targeting Marshall, or hell, when it comes to the run game.
  6. Sammy Sofa
    That is horrifying.

    Nobody should be surprised by this. Annoyed? I guess. But surprised? No. No kidding. I don't understand how anyone could think any firings right now would do anything besides just making meatballs feel better. I would be fine with being treated like a meatball that needs some soothing. What would actually be soothed? You're just going to slide a placeholder from the same incompetent system into the job. It's not like they'd hire anyone worth a damn halfway through the season.

    Yeah, it's really looking more and more like a missed opportunity.

    To be fair, a bunch of random dudes slapping each other in the face with assorted cuts of raw meat IS an accurate approximation of watching a Bears game right now.

    NO. BASICALLY ONE BAD QUARTER MEANS BAD TEAM. The 1st game of that back to back they nearly lost to a team trying to lose 82 games. They've really played 1 good game all season, the Knicks game. They'd probably be 1-6 right now if they played actual good teams every night. Buncha new players, Rose is still working back and Noah is hurting. AND THEY WON THOSE GAMES. They'd be 0-7 right now if they lost all of the games. Insipid.

    I had a Packers fan over and I talked her into watching a movie once halftime hit; I've never seen a drubbing like that where a team has just completely checked out and failed at every aspect of the game. I hate to go all meatball, but you're coming off of a humiliating defeat with a bye week and you're playing your rivals and...this is what happens? The defense sucking, sure, but what the [expletive] happened to this offense? Are the injuries really creating THAT much of a difference between this year and the last?
  15. Sammy Sofa
    If that's skepticism, I'd hate to see glowing. One doesn't need to rely on gibbering morons like Arguello to find consensus on Russell's defense. And really, the argument against dealing Castro based on defense is based on all three of Russell, Baez and Alcantara being unable to play SS on the major league level. I'm no believer that there's any such thing as a can't-miss prospect, but the odds of that are pretty low. That sounds like a "he can stick at SS" report, not "he's the best defensive SS in the system." And yeah, Baez likely has a bit of a stronger arm, but Castro can make plays better and has better accuracy. He has the tools in his arm strength and range to be better, but he's got a lot to prove that that can actually come together, and it didn't really in the minors. Russell's the one, IMO, that has the best shot of making the case, and I just don't see the reports saying it's a slam dunk where he needs to push Castro off of SS.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    Fair enough.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    If I remember right, that was what the FO was saying when Baez and Soler were tearing up the minor leagues and Cub fans wanted them up immediately. Soler only had 621 PA. Baez had 1350. This might be more relative to each player on a case-by-case basis than you're willing to admit.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    The only thing I've seen come up in regards to Baez being better is him potentially having better range. Castro arguably has the best arm of the three and Russell might literally grow out of the position.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    So you think there's a set number of PA's offensive prospects have to hit before the FO is willing to bring them up?
  20. Sammy Sofa
    That's obviously not a hard and fast rule across the board; different prospects will merit a quicker rise to the majors than others. Bryant would have been up this year if it hadn't been a lost season. If Russell is kicking ass next year and the Cubs are in the hunt there's a VERY good chance you'll see him up regardless of what it means in terms of cost-effective years of team control.
