The question isn't if they will still suck or not. But rather if they will fill the roster with nothing but homegrown players. I already agreed that of course they won't do that. Only after you were shown how ridiculous that stance was when you first agreed with it. -

Rizzo called up
jersey cubs fan replied to mred's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
It's 2 things for me. My default with her is I think she's pretty hot. But her voice makes me question that, plus, when I stare too long I tend to over scrutinize. My wife finds her very pretty but tough to listen to. She also finds Bob Rohrman to be disgusting. -

I didn't hear any Chicago accent there I think what he's hearing is a lack of a terrible jersey or ny accent. No, seriously, she's got a very strong Chicago accent that is obvious to anybody who is not in the midwest, at least compared to your typical tv personality who do their best to eliminate any regional accent so as to further their career potential. The terrible Jersey accent is actually south jersey, which is a philly/delaware valley accent, and it is abominable. Staten Island/Long Island is a much stronger land of accents around here. I was actually surprised when I first started meeting Jersey people who didn't really have noticeable accents. Kustok sounds like a slightly toned down version of all my female cousins. -

I like Kustok because I can't make up my mind about her looks, she has a ridiculous Chicago accent and her dad shot her mom. I find her to be delightful though I don't recall ever hearing her speak. She does a lot of the "sideline" stuff for Blackhawks games, right? Yeah, I think half the players are trying to get with her. Kane surprised her with a bday cake once and the sexual tension was palpable. -
You mean like spending six months saying it would be inexcusable for the Cubs to slash payroll and rebuild, and now saying it was understandable given the circumstances? It was unnecessary. I disagree with it. Did then, do now. But it's understandable given the circumstances they walked in on last fall. Now it is not.

I hope you guys are right. That reads an awful lot to me like some sort of Stockholm Syndrome rationalization. Stockholm Syndrome would be them actually doing such a stupid thing and then people agreeing that it was the right thing to do.

It was just about this time a year ago that TT (and myself, and others) repeatedly made it abundantly clear that we didn't have to go through this year of suck. Epstein disagreed. What makes you so confident that this time will be different? He's had a full year to assess the roster and the organization as a whole. He likely has a better feel for certain players' capabilities, and he's probably identified players from other teams that could help the Cubs. They didn't have a lot of time to do any of that last offseason. Personally, I think they'll be much more active in the trade market this offseason, particularly trades like Rizzo for Cashner. In short, this year was unnecessary, but understandable. Going through this nonsense again would be a horrible display of ineptitude.

Unbelievable. Again, why not actually CONTRIBUTE? Are you even CAPABLE? If you can't see that if LaHair can prove he's an .800 OPS guy in the majors, he'd have solid value as a pre-arb guy, then I have zero clue how to deal with your trolling. But, with us in our current position, there is no reason at all, for lack of options, to not at least give him the chance to see if he is that guy. He's been playing all year and after a hot start he's been awful for a long time. And that is with hiding him from LH pitching. He's had that chance. And it's just stupid to say he's the only player that could possibly have trade value.

Unbelievable.

You don't think the Cubs will have anything they can trade worth as much as Marshall was last year? Are you still hung up on Sappelt? Not as much, but I'm regaining my confidence in Wood and I still like Torreyes a ton (bad BABIP luck notwithstanding, his skills have held up well this year). If Garza and Dempster are gone at the deadline, who is left that can be a part of that type of trade. Soto, I guess, if he has a strong second half? Samardzija.

I like Kustok because I can't make up my mind about her looks, she has a ridiculous Chicago accent and her dad shot her mom. I couldn't agree with this more. Except the Chicago accent part. Haven't really noticed that. I assume that's because you live there. I am long gone and the accent is more noticeable every time I hear it. It's got to be really hard for somebody like her to get a gig outside Chicago because it is so pronounced. -
What is the interesting part? A player's prime is generally in the 25-28 timeframe.

He regretted giving in to the pressures of always being in on every free agent and constantly playing the arms race battle with the Yankees. He regretted being so heavily veteran free agent focused. There's some middle ground here people between the obscenely stupid everybody from within scenario and what the Red Sox started doing in their desperation to stay on top and compete with the Yankees every single minute. Agreed. But I don't think Theo's interpretation of that middle ground involves the Cubs making any moves for impact, prime-year players this coming offseason. Jiminy freaking christmas that misses the point entirely.

So then why the hell do you have Bryan LaHair as the starting LF? Well, we pretty much can guarantee Soriano isn't sticking around. And I've looked at FA for next year, we ain't signing Hamilton. Lee is old as hell and can't play the field anyway. Melky? Pay way up for him at this point? I can't see it. Upton? Sure, if he comes cheap enough, which I doubt. Maybe Delmon Young? Buy low guy anyway? Personally, I think we'd be better off with the LaHair/Gomes platoon I had. Personally I think it is asinine to pencil in LaHair as your starting LF on Opening Day, on purpose.

Because I didn't care about the rest. I took that interview as an obviously tongue-in-cheek response/hypothetical, because God help us if it isn't. You cannot strive to make a team like that because you WILL fail at least 9 times out of 10. You took that as tongue in cheek? It seemed completely honest to me, and it completely explained everything he's done so far as president of the Cubs. Why wouldn't it explain the near future? Because he also said it's impossible and it is impossible.

You cannot strive to make a team like that because you WILL fail at least 9 times out of 10. Sounds like a sound discussion technique. You're trying to play both sides here, thinking this fantasy world where the entire team is built from within while acknowledging that even the president who made the comment you are basing it on was obviously fantasizing about an unrealistic situation.
