    I'm trying to lower my expectations just a tad, so what do you guys think of these proposed trades from the Orioles or Jays Daniel Norris, Dalton Pompey, Alberto Tirado from the Jays Hunter Harvey, Chance Sisco, Jon Keller -or- Zach Davies from the Orioles?
  2. A New Era
    I think the chances the Orioles trade with us again right now are damn near zero. You don't think "Hey you want one of our rental pitchers for another of your future aces" sounds pretty sexy?
  3. A New Era
    Not for this second half, for sure. But I'm all for any "key" addition like that. No matter what time of year it occurs.
  4. A New Era
    The Cubs FO expected that to be the case, correct? Hence why they overspent last year? Yes I trust their scouting. I would love if they could do it again next year, but at least they did it one year and they got a great group of guys.

    Rizzo

    A New Era replied to Banedon's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    His right leg is kicked back a bit more like schwarber. I don't know anything about this, I presume as long as a better can get back into their swing stance as the ball is approaching, stance doesn't matter much as long as a batter is comfortable with it? I just find it fascinating because I think Schwarber's stance looks so cool.

    exactly. It's Brian Giles with a little more crouch and holds the bat further away. http://i.imgur.com/AX8X7EO.jpg

    It is only somewhat reminiscent because it's a wide stance. But Scharbers looks way cooler. Bagwell is more even with the bag and just crouching down. Schwarber is more open bodied with his right leg sort of stretched away from the plate. I'm not gonna debate what's more useful. But as far as looks. Schwarber looks like crouching tiger waiting to STRIKE, whereas Bagwell just looks like crouching to take a [expletive]. http://i.imgur.com/51XIogQ.jpg

    Alcantara worked the count full and a well struck leadoff double off the wall.

    dude your rankings are weird. Bryant Baez Alcantara Schwarber Soler (would be higher if actually playing) Almora CJ Edwards Tseng Hendricks Johnson
  14. A New Era
    They do like their prospects in a jar.

    not hyped about the guy but we need talent in the OF and we need it quick. Sign and trade in a couple years once our OF is stacked.

    Rizzo

    If there ever were a player this cold calculated front office team would not trade it would be Rizzo. Rizzo is their baby. At least until his final contract year. :blush:
  18. A New Era
    I stopped following after the 2nd K. Good to see Baez picked things up after that the rest of the night. Obviously Manny influence takes 2 Ks to take effect.
  19. A New Era
    Are you calling Vogelbach a monster or his HR a monster? :blush:

    God?
  21. A New Era
    alcantara RBI single.
  22. A New Era
    it's only his 2nd year as a pro.
  23. A New Era
    Vitters RBI double. Starting to think Zach Lee doesn't have it today.
  24. A New Era
    Javy walked, but immediately gave himself up caught stealing.
  25. A New Era
    double Alcantara down right field line. Smoked line drive. It was hit too hard to be a triple.
