    I'm trying to squash my optimism, but even being completely even-keel, he's already the best center in team history (low bar) and his presence on the court not only doesn't suck by itself, but it doesn't negatively effect what the team is doing on offense in the first place. That said he'll probably get hurt and we'll be back to 25 minutes a game of perkins.

    Cubs got me in 89, though I'd watched them before because my dad and grandpa were huge fans. I'll say this though, I think a terrible team can kind of cement your fan status as a kid. I got locked into the Cowboys during their 1-15 season and remember thinking that I had really been there through the tough times in the 90s when they won all those super bowls. I was like 12 lol.

    UNBAN ERIK. if you go through the posts he made under that pseudonym, he was remarkably restrained. he's reformed. let's do this.

    Martin was in a no win situation. literally there was nothing he could have done that would have made things better.

    Not really applicable when their 2 was hitting .150 after being determined legally blind, and their 5 is thought by many to be a reliever.

    Price does not equal worth. I love you man, but no.

    I'm sorry, but even the most optimistic person cannot seriously believe that Samardzidja is "worth" the no. 1 pitching prospect in baseball, much less the no. 1 pitching prospect in baseball plus something else.
  21. imb
    Well, in the sense that Kevin Towers is a crazy person and might ask for Samardzija and Castro in order to get Bradley, yes. In terms of actual value, Samardzija is more than enough. In fact, if we're trying to come up with packages, something like Skaggs + Holmberg or Bradley + Eaton would be a decent approximation. If they wanted to give away McCarthy's salary as a 3rd piece I'd be agreeable to that too. Skaggs+Bradley+Eaton for just Samardzija? I don't know how to tell you this buddy ...

    Yeah, what are you going to do? Is there someone out there that can do what Thibs does as well as perfectly manage minutes? Because I think that person would probably already be coaching somewhere. You just are gonna have to live with that foible, or do what they're doing and tell him how to manage it.
  23. imb
    Or if you feel like he's doing a lot else very well, but struggles with dispensing too many minutes, help him with the aspect you think he needs help with?
  24. imb
    I cant wait till he shoots 4-15 and everyone throws a fit
  25. imb

    Castro

    imb replied to Tim's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    What's the ratio of good to bad history? He has two strengths, getting base hits and not looking lost some of the times on defense at a premium position. The problem is that for all the "HE'S GOING TO IMPROVE, HE'S 23" his walk rate has never fluctuated since he debuted and his batting average has never gotten better since he debuted. He basically has "gotten better" at two things since he debuted -- he hit for more power twice, before falling off completely this year, and he's only been a passable defender once. Well that ignored my question entirely I figured it was a rhetorical question since we can all see he had two good/great years, one good year and one atrocious one. Since he's trending down and the atrocious year was more recent, I'm not sure what the point is of the question in the first place.
