    hopefully he goes "brach" to the future and finds the fountain of youth and rejuvenates his career!

    Less about Pomeranz in particular, but any buy low candidate is going to be low for a good reason. You don't have to bank on 200 IP from Pomeranz or his proxy, but you also have internal options(Start Montgomery) and buy low options are easier to stack for cheap too. im with you. we know how slow the market moves now, why spend 99 percent of your FA budget on Day One on 53-year old Cole Hamels when you could wait the market out and get 75 percent of whatever value he'll provide for pennies on the dollar in January or February again, cole hamels is bad, and i feel like im on the right side of history by saying so edit: Hamels, despite being mostly otherworldly with the cubs, was worth the same WAR last year as clay bucholz (who pitched 16 games.) How much is Bucholz getting this year, because it sure isn't gonna be twenty fuggen million.

    I remember asking my mom what that meant when I was like 10 and her having to tip toe around the fact that John wrote that in a haze of acid The story I’ve heard is that Lennon was annoyed that Bob Dylan wrote some popular songs that had nonsensical lyrics, so this was him writing the most random song possible delete the beatles references before omc gets in here

    every team has like 6 uniforms now, and that particular Jazz design might be my favorite of the bunch

    lol the insult Bryant gave was such low grade horsefeathers anyway. "wow st louis is bad. And it stinks." he was clearly just trying to play to the crowd without actually saying anything too negative. The fact that st louis players took it so personally really tells you what they think of their city lol

    its really hard to get too excited about the 7th best catching prospect in the minors when there arent even 7 good catchers in the major leagues
  14. imb
    Did they agree to arbitration with him already? he got a deal like last week yeah but were they in agreement about it

    the point is if they were ever remotely willing to spend $9 million on someone like cody allen, they would have just done 2/8 on chavez months ago

    as tight as things are, there will be much better uses of that money in-season. the risk is that you use already limited resources on a worthless position and then fill it with a bad player Right. But I’m assuming we would at least have the little it takes for him on a 1 year deal and for any in season deals needed for the pen. He’d make the pen stronger on paper to start the year and at least let us re-evaluate around June or whenever Morrow is back what needs to be added or who shifted to what roles. It sucks to be this poor I guess. why wouldnt they have just re-signed chavez

    [marq=left][/marq] Worse guys are “closers.” He’s likely mostly fine there in the regular season and let the better guys handle the leverage spots. Especially on a 1 year deal, there’s no risk. as tight as things are, there will be much better uses of that money in-season. the risk is that you use already limited resources on a worthless position and then fill it with a bad player

    we may not be in on cody allen because he just sucks butt
  19. imb
    apparently the 7 year deal the white sox offered manny was 7/175. they might as well just do the strike now and get it over with [tweet]https://twitter.com/ginnysearle/status/1085589803905630208[/tweet]

    Ever since he inexplicably tried to simultaniously argue both that the Cubs broke Heyward and that pre-Cubs Heyward is the same as Cubs' Heyward, he's been in a mood. it's so unfortunate that i went to all the trouble of speaking to you in that thread and yet you still failed completely at reading comprehension
  22. imb
    shut the horsefeathers up
  23. imb
    im not going to read it but i assume what they're talking about is how by baseball economics, the players deserve a much larger cut and the owners are sitting on money they should be investing into the team. on the other hand, no one deserves to make 300 million dollars when you have so many people in poverty

    my favorite part about this is that there is a very high chance that murray is not a very good baseball player and doesnt really like it that much in the first place
