I'm absolutely with you. it's a huge mistake to take pitching for the sake of taking pitching. -
the cubs were in a perpetual cycle of mediocrity highlighted by occasional flashes of decentness.

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/nhl-teams-most-expensive-defense-172858589--nhl.html#more-37658 Chicago has a lot of money tied into the defensive side of things.

What would be the reason for that? College ball is too risky?
-
He's younger, but he's still old. And his contract blows. I don't know what "it only makes sense" means, but I have to say there is plenty to support being against the move. Expressing interest in a free agent who may have signed a 1 year deal is hardly justification for then trading for a guy guaranteed $6.7m/year through age 38 and another $5m through age 40.

Considering they currently stand to draft at the end of the 1st round, I think Pittsburgh has to be more willing to make the splash. There's a real interest in that team and momentum behind their success year-to-date.

WHY THE HELL WAS HE ANNOUNCING SOME MEANINGLESS END OF SEASON GAME BETWEEN DETROIT AND NEW YORK???
-
It's his first taste of the minors, but still slightly disappointing. Not worried yet though. I don't know how. He's terrible. Not worried about him as much as I don't care because I've already written him off as a non-factor given his velocity and results. Yeah. He's pretty much worthless, and a write off.

I think Scully is an interesting change of pace in a one off situation. But sitting through an entire series against the Dodgers he's impossible.

Almora signs
jersey cubs fan replied to waffle's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
thanks for the update. Was he somebody they were rumored to be after? -
But they could conceivably sign every one of them for $100,000?
-
So is there anybody intriguing left to be signed and is there any money to sign them?

7/8 Cubs (Dempster) @ Mets (Niese) 12:10 CSN
jersey cubs fan replied to Sosa21MVP's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Then we better hope there are some below .500 teams looking to add a guy who they know won't help them in any significant games for no apparent reason. -
Come on now, this is lazy. Everybody knows that isn't true.
-
Yes, but I mean like multiple guys. Crawford is a must. You can't have Crawford and Luongo on next year's record, and you aren't going to be able to trade Crawford unless you are in situation where you are bailing out Vancouver.
-
that is interesting.
-
I'd like to see your mom go deep
-
Wouldn't you prefer they take back Crawford? Otherwise Chicago is back to being stuck with a ridiculous cap hit of $8.0m on goalies. I think the key is getting them to take back some cap crap like Crawford, Montador or Frolik.

what did he suggest?
-
It's a bit like Hossa's, but less extreme. Hossa goes from 7.9 to 4 to 1 for 4 straight years. Luongo goes from 6.7 to 3.4 to 1.6 to 1. Hossa has 4 years of $1m salaries whereas Luongo has only 2. I could see Luongo playing through to that 1.6m salary in 2019/20 with the same 5.3m cap hit, while Hossa will likely already be retired by then instead of playing multiple years for just $1m. I'm Switzerland on this one. I'm not sure why so many people are willing to pretend Luongo doesn't have a checkered past and his flawed. But he is pretty good overall and would at least stabilize the position. Now, you absolutely cannot give up anything of value for the guy. It has to be a case of bailing out Vancouver, which now has 10 guys with a cap hit over $4m (Blackhawks have 6). I wouldn't be ecstatic if they got him, but I wouldn't mind if the price is low. They clearly aren't getting any better from the outside anywhere else.

Re: Jeff Samardzija is (or was) pretty awesome
jersey cubs fan replied to Theo's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
They could have cut 8 paragraphs of worthlessness to make their point so much clearer. -
no

Romo may lead the league in smiles but I do not see why else he needs to be put any higher. I would take Cutler ahead of him 101 times out of a 100.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 7-3-12
jersey cubs fan replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Geez. What's with the lack of love for the HR Derby? It does them no good in their quest to become major league players, and there is a perception that this type of event can hurt your performance in the following weeks. i don't understand how this is much different than trying to hit home runs in batting practice. I don't think hitting coaches want you trying to hit HR in BP. But taking an out of control hack or two is probably different than going through an entire tournament of HR hacks.
