    How many hits away is Baez from a .300 batting average in AA? Like 6? Pretty amazing all things considered.

    YOU'RE SO RIGHT. I'd also feel so much better about theo world serious champion Epstein if this 70 win cubs team had a competent bullpen for no reason If this team had an average bullpen, we would have been buyers at the deadline. What would we have bought? Matt garza????? Scott Feldman!??? Who got moved that would have done any [expletive] good at all and at what cost?

    You can put together a bullpen in one offseason for nothing who gives a [expletive]

    They knew more than the Angels on pujols and Wilson. Knew more than the tigers on pujols. Knee more than the braves on upton. Etc etc etc etc etc etc etc Didn't we reportedly try to get Pujols to take 5/$150m? But but but but didn't we???? If he took it wed have just 90 million left. Don't the angels have $240 million???? Hahahahaha

    Knew more than the Angels on Hamilton, appear to have known more than Oakland on cespedes, brewers on Aramis. Any more?

    Anibal Sanchez didn't want to sign with a loser, we didn't bid enough on darvish and we were one of oh about 29 teams that didn't bid an exorbitant amount on a then-fat unknown puig. I mean what the [expletive] are they supposed to do. Michael Bourn would have made a huge difference!!!!

    How's old by upton looking these days?

    I don't even know why we bother having a team without yoenis ".290 obp" cespedes.

    Man we'd be awesome with pujols/fielder, Aramis and Cj Wilson. Look out cardinals!

    How pointless. "They're not trying." I they "tried" under the parameters you want them to, in 3 or 4 years we'd be saddled with horrible players/contracts and the same people would be griping about "they leveraged the future!"

    Slow down I'm gonna blow

    He can be amazing. But sometimes it's like pulling teeth to get people to admit that he's ever made any sort of mistake or miscalculation. thanks for today's pointless circular [expletive] show then

    If the front office can't be expected to be right every time, I don't know why I should be held to a higher standard. how silly. so what was the point of this exercise again

    im sure anibal sanchez/liriano/etc are just really sad that they missed out on the chance to be a part of a team so bad that its fans are actively rooting for losses at this point so they can add another prospect.

    You're right in general, but Darvish didn't pick Texas. i always forget how that posting works.
  18. imb
    seems like every time we were in on a big FA and lost, they went to a better team. gee i wonder if our shitty record had anything to do with sanchez going to a world series contender, darvish picking texas, etc. if they can't/wont overpay these guys it's just not going to happen until the big league team has some positive momentum

    there isn't a gif on the internet that can accurately sum up how I feel about this.

    Bryant looks so skinny in all his pictures. I never read any evaluators discuss the fact that he could presumably add a lot of bulk to his frame, but it looks like he could.
  21. imb
    As a Heyward fantasy team owner, I would say he's back to the 'setback' part of his career, though he's been much better lately. be sure and credit @AngryAndyR

    15 prospects were ranked ahead of Baez before the season started. By midseason, that list was down to 9 Only Yelich has graduated from that list. Buxton, Sano, Bogaerts and Bradley are definitely still ahead of him. Taveras likely will be since they will give him one injury-season freebie. Lindor and Walker are 50/50 shots to be above Baez. I think he's surpassed Correa at this point, unless Correa gets promoted to High-A soon and continues what he's doing at Quad City. I know BA loves Johnathon Gray, who I could see jumping Baez if he gets called to AA for the playoffs and pitches well. And with how much Callis loves Kris Bryant, he might jump him too if he blows Daytona out of the WATER THAT HAS ACCUMULATED FROM THE TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS THERE BY THE WAY [expletive] YOU DAYTONA. So anyway, I'm guessing Baez stays in the top 10.

    I freaking started the concept of the message board farm report back in the day. I'm Makaveli's offspring, I'm the king of New York King of the Coast, one hand, I juggle them both
