Minor League Discussion & Boxes 5-14-12
jersey cubs fan replied to Outshined_One's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Was Lake injured? Why does he only have 27 PA so far this year? well, google answered my question. I was excited to see a 994 OPS for the season at AA then bummed to see it's just been a brief display so far. -
Maybe they are. But I think the Bears have made clear that Carimi is going to play RT. I think ideally he would be an RT and it's probably better to at least have one guy on your line starting at the ideal position. If they move their best guard to tackle, they already have a guard playing center and backup caliber players starting at guard, no reason to make your RT play LT.
-
I highly doubt they are enamored with Webb. They've thought there was more there than most people thought, but he's not any good and they probably know it. You don't move your best guard to be the backup tackle just because you think you have plenty of depth at guard. They have numbers, not quality.

Wow, that's some insight. Well, read the couple of posts above mine, asking whether or not he's going to get a chance to start or not. Not sure how else I could follow that up, other than saying it's up to him and he'll be given a chance. If you prefer, I could say Webb sucks and Williams should automatically get the job, because we don't know that he sucks. Sorry, if that was the response you were looking for. You wrote he won't be handed the job, that he will have to play well to earn the job and if he does play well you think he will start or if not it might be Webb. For the record, my opinion is it would be beyond moronic to do anything but start Williams if you move him to tackle. They are forcing themselves to hand him the job without technically handing him the job. So unless he really falls on his face this summer, he's going to be the starting LT if he's actually moved to tackle.

Known Liar&Cheater Ryan Braun Caught Lying&Cheating Again
jersey cubs fan replied to ctcf's topic in General Baseball Talk
What? Seems like it's out of spite, because the "independent" arbitrator ruled against MLB. I'm not saying Braun is innocent or guilty (although he's probably guilty), but this just reeks of spite. I wonder if the Player's Union is going to do anything. "Ok, here's the deal.: You're an "independent" arbitrator, but if you rule against us, we'll fire you." A guy made a stupid decision and they had the ability to fire him, so they did. That's not taking your ball and going home. That's acting appropriately in response to incompetence. -

What? -
Yeah, but they'd all be Tebow so you'd be golden.

It can't be just weed. This is the NFL, weed doesn't drop a potential top-3 round guy to UDFA. Could be weed, but dealing it rather than smoking it.
-
I have to admit I'm kind of happy with the eastern conference matchup. At least hockey will be a huge story around here for a couple weeks. Plus, there's an outside shot I'll be getting free tix to one of the games.
-
Freddie Freeman seems to be doing okay: .281/.308/.512/.820 when I wrote it (on the 3rd) the braves were getting something like a 750 OPS at 1B.
-
that game was fun to watch yesterday, or, at least the last 15 minutes
-
I still disagree with this idea that Z had to go. I've been pleasantly surprised with how well Volstad has pitched outside of the big inning each start, but still think dealing Z at that point was selling needlessly low. Still wasn't some terrible deal or anything by any stretch, but it wasn't something that had to be done. In today's MLB it does not matter how good your players are, what matters is how many arbitration years you control of your worst players. Also, when you lose you want everybody to go home happy, not emotional. Emotional losses are worth 1.73 regular losses.
-
And we should all hope that is how the thing goes down, if it ever does. The Cubs do not need to be shedding payroll. If they do dump some guys, I'm hoping they go the route of picking up the check in exchange for getting more talent in return.
-
Baker has an OPS over 1000 in 25 PA vs Wolf. Reed, not so much. But LaHair doesn't need the leadoff man to get on in order to hit HR.
-
jeffery left practice with cramps, maybe it's premenstrual.
-
Is LaHair sitting?

I've never been in negotiations for a contract that would pay me in excess of $100 million, but I imagine that if I was then it would be somewhat distracting to my day to day life. Also, an agent saying such a thing is part of the negotiating process. "Hey world, my client only cares about playing, we're really not all that interested in a $150m deal because it's about baseball, not money." Or, "Yeah team, don't even bother coming at me with a lowball team friendly deal. We'll wait out his arbitration and free agent years and max out before we settle for less than top dollar."

OH MY GOD WHY DO FANS GET UPSET ABOUT STUFF?11!!!?!
-
That is absolutely ridiculous.
-
Anybody know who is contractually obligated
jersey cubs fan replied to Ivy.n.Denver's topic in General Baseball Talk
I'm fairly certain he waived that option. -
that's what jersey tells me man you're a douchebag
-
If he was somehow only GM for 2 offseasons maybe I'd agree, but he's been GM since the summer of 09. That's almost 3 full years, not just 2 offseasons. You are a GM all season long and he has yet to do anything to make the Blackhawks a better team than what they were the day before he got the job.
-
I think that was essentially what the "they signed Maholm" thread was.
