    At this point it would be unacceptable. They spent no money in free agency, landed no big targets, can't spend big on the draft and pretty much put their eggs in this basket. Even when they do sign him, unless it's all signing bonus, I'm going to wonder where a lot of the baseball budget went. There's a lot missing. It all went into the hookers and blow fund set-up for the recruiting process. Sin to Win!!!

    You are overstating the cut and dry nature, at least as it pertains to how the NFL system is now set-up. (that's also a brand new system that was never in place before.

    I read that foul ball fact in the local paper the other day and found it very hard to believe. Yeah it repeats that claim in the SI article but I just can't imagine that's true. So I guess we're supposed to believe that in the entirety of his MLB career he's never gotten out in front of a breaking or offspeed pitch.... He could have hit a grounder or linedrive that way.

    Who won it last year, unless his AVG dropped a ton, he wins.

    Isn't that just how free agency works in every sport. Theo wooed Schilling over Thanksgiving. NFL owners and coaches fly their jets to their targets home base at midnight. THE DECISION.

    let's go back to talking about Reed's slide
  13. jersey cubs fan
    live look-in and first thing I see is weirdest pseudo slide at 1B ever. Looking good Reed.

    He's all over the place at the plate. Doesn't like to stand still. Did we watch different videos? His hands never stop moving, he does a couple toe taps and has a high leg kick all while the bat is waggling all over the place.

    But if signing him requires you to pay him over his slot, that would in turn take away from what you have at 2-10, correct? So, if you don't sign him, you aren't using his allotment, but you aren't also using the overslot that he would take up himself.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    That would make sense in the offseason, but in the middle of the season, for as drawn out as this process has already becoming, I don't see them wanting to waste another month of work. The interested teams should be able to get to their numbers fairly quickly.

    Is there any thought that the Cubs will not sign this guy so they can have 2 early picks next year in the supposedly better draft, and use his allotment to overslot some guys this year? Or would overslotting guys take away the make up pick next year. You have to sign the guy to use that pick's portion of the allotment. So if you ignore Almora, then you forfeit the slot amount, I think it's around 3.25 million. Right, but doesn't it still leave a little more flexibility to overslot others if you aren't already overslotting Almora a bit?
  19. jersey cubs fan
    I don't think it's the latter since he's stating the team will be a trainwreck during that timeframe.

    There is nothing ideal about that timeline. Nothing at all.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    I think he wouldn't have been available at that pick under the old rules.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    If you would be angry if he's traded then you must be writing off the possibility that 2011 was the outlier.
  24. jersey cubs fan
    A bad team played poorly and nobody can be blamed for that fact?
  25. jersey cubs fan
    He doesn't have to, but it will be a lot easier, and more awesome, if he does.
