So did the Cubs really pick up the tab for Maholm's option next year? I thought I read something about that last night. -
Paul Sullivan @PWSullivan Cubs get PTBNL or cash along with Brigham for Soto

You call it turning up their nose, I call it realistic descriptions of what we got. Sure we can use such things. But they aren't exactly tough to find. And there's no cause for celebration once you get them.

Only the Cubs. http://deadspin.com/5930427/the-braves-won-their-first-monday-game-in-nearly-a-year Or the Braves.

Make fun of Heymen all you want, but one day you might wake up and there won't be a Heymen and you will be disappointed. Or more likely: you'll awaken to him standing over you bed wielding a knife sporting a vintage poodle skirt. or not

I'm not. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out Geo. that's a stupid thing to say

Americans seem to be doing well shooting stuff.

They got a guy who Law had as the 14th best prospect in baseball (and others widely had him top 50) going into this year for Paul Maholm and Reed Johnson. On top of it, they somehow also got a guy who can strike guys out out of the bullpen. TJS isn't really a huge red flag. If anything, it's nice that he's already had it. It'd be nicer if he had it earlier. Alright, relax a little. A prospect getting surgery is absolutely a red flag. It is the only way you can get otherwise highly rated guys for people like Maholm. Furthermore, I thought everybody hated Keith Law. It's a nice value for value trade, but they still just have a couple potential back of the bullpen guys and a rehabbing player. They've yet to make a huge deadline splash yet, although it was fun to see guys leaving left and right during the game.
-
Their biggest return so far this deadline is a guy who just had TJS. They really haven't gotten a whole lot.

If LA is any good at poker they have to call this bluff.

Deplorable?

I'm going to miss Geo.

I find that very hard to believe. Unless you are basing it off those bogus "opening day payroll" numbers that USA Today and ESPN like to throw around.

why would a fat person allow a potential source of calories to go stale in the first place? Wouldn't they just devour it sooner?

Trading Soriano
jersey cubs fan replied to ctcf's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
According to Fangraphs he's been worth about $13.5 million thus far. Take that as you will. Fangraphs also has him as providing the 5th most defensive value in all of baseball (3rd most on a rate basis). He's certainly improved and was always underrated defensively to begin with, but that much? Soriano does currently have his best OPS+ number as a Cub though. With a coaching staff that actually does most of the work of putting guys where they should be, it is not an outrageous claim. no, it's probably still outrageous -

Trading Soriano
jersey cubs fan replied to ctcf's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I'm sure teams would be interested in him, but I doubt they'd be interested in trading much for them. And since there's a good shot he could and should be in next year's OF, they have no motivation to move him. -
don't they say the waves crashing off the wall and bouncing back at you?
-
No you don't.

I guess Marlon Byrd's ties with BALCO/Conte weren't as clean

that would be awful -
I have very high hopes, I just don't have very high expectations.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 7-27-12
jersey cubs fan replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Do you really see them trading him this offseason? There is a gaping hole at 3B. Vitters is young and under cost control for some time. I guess I wouldn't be surprised but if I see them giving him a shot at least. Yeah, I don't think they believe in Vitters as a capable MLB hitter. They traded Colvin and signed a FA RF last year, I imagine that they don't have a problem trading Vitters and going with a more preferred 3B option in FA or trade. I'm confused by the comparison between Colvin and Vitters There are plenty of comparisons. Definitely more of a Hendry regime type player than Epstein. Patience problems. Defensive questions. Not very impressive minor league resume despite showing obviously specific talents and occasional flashes.
