  1. yeah, you're probably right. kind of blanked out about Davis.
  2. Iunno, lefties and defense touch him up pretty nice. eh. he hit them just fine in the minors. i think it'll just take a bit more time to adjust to MLB lefties. Rizzo used to struggle against LHP much more so than he does now, too.
  3. Cardinals getting left out of the musical chairs. I'm wondering if they aren't going to freak a bit with all these other moves and go all in for Cueto. Not that that would necessarily be a terrible thing, just could see them wanting to make a splash if they miss out on Price/Heyward/etc.
  4. yeah i went back and read my initial post before i hit submit and kind of wondered if it was apparent what i meant. but it was probably clear as mud. Ideally he's signed for three years and not four. but based on all reports that I've heard, I don't think that's likely the case at all.
  5. what does your parenthetical mean? that i would rather have him signed for three years and not four. and on top of that, this is a hypothetical in which he actually is signed by the cubs. i'm not sure if my preference isn't still to hang on to castro instead of signing zobrist. but if he's the direction the FO wants to go, i think 4/60ish is fair. probably did sound a little confusing. that make more sense?
  6. Yeah he was hurt for a good portion of last year. When he finally came back from his DL stint he was lights out. This is a good article about his value: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/figuring-out-what-to-pay-ben-zobrist/ I would be fine with 4/60 (assuming the fourth year is required and assuming he actually is signed) Edit: I'll go out on a limb and say it's 4/64
  7. Nah Id be pretty happy to. I don't like Castro and I'd certainly prefer to have Zobrist on the roster than Castro. I just see Castro as a defensive liability and a bit of a mental flake. He's had a pretty inconsistent career. You're going to hate Zobrist's 2B defense if you think Castro is a liability there. Does he stare blankly into the stands as balls zip by his glove? oh for crying out load first he's "mentally weak" and now this
  8. you do the ellipses thing in the minor forum a lot, right? unless I'm mixing you up with someone... which, i must say I like a lot. it's just that I now associate ellipses with you. no offense at all intended - i like your style. edit: response to toonster
  9. Word from Nashville is Zorbrist is close to an agreement with the Cubs to play second base. thanks! (CR, David, Tim) i feel...conflicted (#toonster) on this. but excited to see how this all plays out and i trust this FO completely.
  10. translation for the one-language idiot, please
  11. and as much as I know it's a possibility, I would really hate to see Starlin go. I'd rather send off Baez, but part of me knows that Javy's ceiling is so much higher that I could understand the sentiment of keeping him in lieu of castro. it's just an irrational cubs side of me that has rooted for him longer than any other current cub.
  12. this is JUST great. now he's mentally shattered for 2016 anyway so might as well ship him off. but seriously i have no interest in Gardner - just bring back Dex if those two are your choices. and keep starlin.
  13. [tweet] [/tweet] Who's to say what causes problems? Seriously?
  14. your season is already over?
  15. triple post. christ i'm' on the struggle bus tonight. my bad
  16. I must admit I have no earthly idea what this means, but I'm a fan regardless.
  17. between monday night's game and tonight's game...i'm not sure i've seen two more exciting endings for games that I cared absolutely nothing about. i know why the officials called the facemask penalty, because it definitely looked like one. it wasn't, though
  18. Oh man I would LOVE to see all the UNC fans spaz out about that :beg:
  19. Len is going to be super pissed that you stole his thunder. And so far in advance!
