    I always wondered why they didn't try this sooner. 6'6" makes a pretty good target for the IFs and if he could hit a little, he would make for a good platoon OF/1B.
  2. Backtobanks
    For most teams and in most situations, you should value offensive WAR more than defensive, but the Cubs and their lousy pitching is the exception.
  3. Backtobanks
    He made the right play. In a situation like that, you don't let the tying run get into scoring position.
  4. Backtobanks
    I hope Shaw is traded this offseason, so this constant talk of Shaw as an OF on a 90-win team with a ton of money will stop.
  5. Backtobanks
    Obviously, the Angels wanted Nimmala (20 yr. old SS @ AA #42 prospect), but the other two (Micheletti - 24 yr. old CO @AA and Rivero - 19 yr. old P @ Rookie ball) weren't anything outstanding. Rojas + Wiggins + Kepley sounds pretty close.
  6. Backtobanks
    Shaw is better as a backup infielder or better yet as trade bait.
  7. Backtobanks
    Soriano would have been a great pickup. Solid starter making $3 million this year and two more years of control.
  8. Backtobanks
    Resign Suzuki, sign Arozarena, and trade Alcantara + Shaw + Wiggins for Kirby. Wouldn't mind expanding the deal to get Brendon Donovan too.
  9. Backtobanks
    I think Alcantara will be traded this offseason in a package with Shaw for a controllable SP.
  10. Backtobanks
    It's a shame that our FO and owner can't figure out creative accounting.
  11. Backtobanks
    Probably just a crazy rumor, but if it did happen, I would love to see the Cubs get Goldscmidt. Yankees acquire: Rafael Devers Jung Hoo Lee Giants acquire: Carlos Rodon Jasson Dominguez OR Spencer Jones RHP Elmer Rodriguez (No. 3) OR RHP Ben Hess (No. 6) RHP Xavier Rivas (No. 25)
  12. Backtobanks
    The M's would have to kick in a boatload of money.
  13. Backtobanks
    No fair. I was told that we had to wait for the deadline before we could make a trade.
  14. Backtobanks
    Shaw and Rodiguez have a lot more trade value than Triantos.
  15. Backtobanks
    I think it's obvious that one of Shaw or Ramirez is going to be traded. How many substitute IFs does one team need?
