    I think this is incredibly stupid. What the hell is wrong with writing about what happens in sport? Is everybody just supposed to shut up and not write or say anything until the 100-game point? There's nothing dumb about writing about what happens over the first month of the season. It's dumb to make assumptions that those things will hold steady the rest of the year, but that's not what he's complaining about.

    It is, and it's harmless. But at the same time, it's not inconceivable that Hester could thrive in a new system. He grew in his first two seasons as a receiver and that was with a hack of an OC in Ron Turner. He went from that vanilla college system to Martz's overly complex system and took a step back. But he's still only got 4 years of WR experience under his belt now, no more than a typical 2nd year player. In a scaled back system that is still led by real NFL coaches, and with a really good QB and finally other legit targets around him, Hester could take a significant step forward as a receiver.

    Yeah, that's probably good.

    So if they can't take one of these 3 guys they will take one of these 3 guys? Thanks for the clarity Jim.

    Forgot about this. So does that we mean we get a free pick just for sucking? are they giving 6 to the 6 worst records and 6 to the 6 lowest revenues? Or do you need to have a combination of bad record and low record?

    they wrote an article about Rizzo's current status and couldn't get anything but months old quotes?

    wasn't there just an anti-Pac 10 post in here? I clicked to reply and now it's gone. Anyway, Pac 10 has plenty of history and current quality.

    Ideally they would have better hitters right now who could fit the bill in the middle of the order and allow him to hit somewhere else. Down the line, I see no reason why he couldn't be the type of hitter to rely on everyday in that spot for years and years. If the 2, 3, 4 in 2015 was Jackson, Castro, Rizzo, that could be pretty cool Personally, I'd want to see Jackson and Castro slid up one spot each and #3 filled with awesome player to be named later, or Rizzo slid up and #4 filled by awesome player to be named later. That would also be nice, but Castro could very easily be a 900 OPS type hitter in his prime and awesome enough in his own right.

    He's been batting third all year and was up above an 800 OPS until 2 weeks ago. This is nonsense.

    can we trade Castro ASAP and callup Lake?

    There's a whole bunch of ridiculousness here. First off, who cares if Colvin may have been gone 30 picks later, that is not reason to justify a reach of a pick like that. He had no business being picked by the Cubs where he was picked. It's not justy hindsight that views Wilken's horrible track record, it was at the moment "my god what are the Cubs doing" opinions by many. He didn't get the job done. There's no reason to make a bunch of excuses, he had a long time to do and didn't do nearly enough, much like his boss.

    What the F is a you player? Pretty funny typo You missed the 2nd one.

    To be fair, Castro is 22, and Miguel Cabrera got traded before his 25th birthday after making 4 All-Star games. Because the garbage organization that had him didn't deserve him.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    Good starters will give you average starts half of the time, and then be really good 25 percent of the time and bad the other 25 percent. that's true
  20. jersey cubs fan
    You think hitting third caused that? I think that's a pretty silly contention.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    Buster does write about a hundred things every time he writes an article.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    I would much rather trade Garza due to defensive concerns and pending pay raises than Castro.

    That was a money thing. Is it wrong to wonder why a bad offensive team would just give up on a 24 year old former 1st round pick? I don't know. Maybe it was options, maybe he had a bonus coming. Maybe he slept with someones wife. It just makes me wonder, which I think is pretty sensible. It doesn't mean I thinks it's dumb, It doesn't mean I think it's a sure failure, just gives me cause to question it- not the pick up but why they would cut him. I don't think there's anything wrong with wondering why the A's cut him. I also don't think there's anything wrong with letting him get a couple PA while he's on the team.

    I believe you are horrible at reading comprehension, formulating your owns ideas and expressing those ideas in the written (or typed) form.
