The most important thing is that Brett Jackson needs to be on the 2012 opening day roster, nothing else matters.
-
Maybe

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/chi-cubs-wont-budge-on-bringing-up-jackson-20120314,0,7246530.story Brett Jackson still not good enough for Sveum's team. Is he blind?

I think it could almost be done with the Forte negotiations in mind. Hey Matt we are not afraid to replace you. Look here's Michael Bush. Not that Bush is in Forte's caliber, but him and a 1st or 2nd round rookie RB would work for many teams. Or a 3rd, or a 4th, or an undrafted free agent.
-
Did the reassignment of Dewitt clear him to play at Iowa?
-
Actually, if you bring in a costly backup RB, it may make it more important to sign him to a more cap friendly extension instead of the one year franchise #.
-
I like the idea of going away from the featured back idea and more toward a shared responsibility at the position, but not when you are going to be spending that much money on the 1st guy in the first place.

I think the hangup is that it's freaking Buffalo. He's gotta convince the fiancee that it's worth the extra $$ to move there. He's gotta convince the fiancee it's worth going to Buffalo 7 times a year. No reason to move there.

https://twitter.com/#!/BradBiggs/status/179961283414736896 Is Brad Biggs in the bag for Forte? Who the F cares about Forte's clean record when it comes to what his contract demands should be?
-
I don't think TE is a big need.
-
I can fault him for overreacting to the backup QB situation.
-
I am. Extremely happy. But this isn't worked up. This is posting about baseball on a lame snark baseball forum. We used to do that around here, but I'm still hopeful it could come back. It is three and a half weeks until Opening Day, and the Cubs have seven legitimate starters for five spots. It's pretty sad if NSBB can't muster up a decent thread about that. It's not posting about baseball. It's fretting about a non-existent problem about a team that has a hell of a lot more to worry about and of which there are much more rational decisions then forcing a trade the last two weeks of spring.
-
For 2-3 months at most? How is that a downside. Those future decisions don't need to be made in May.
-
why have we neutered Hester. WHY WHY WHY He's a punt returner and part-time KR. It's what he's always been best at.
-
You must really be happy with the Cubs if this is something you feel the need to get worked up about.
-
It wouldn't be progress either. The chance for all three of those guys to improve by pitching in the majors >>>> anything we get out of Dempster in the rotation. Harly >>>>, maybe >. But the chance for Dempster to improve his trade value during the season would be > all of the above.
-
And they don't improve as pitchers. Why can't they improve pitching every 5th day in AAA? You could always go with a 6th man rotation, letting your top 3 stay on normal schedule and tooling around with the other three. Because they are all of an age and ability where they have nothing left to learn from challenging themselves against AAA hitters. I don't really think that is a thing. A couple weeks or months in AAA waiting for an injury or other opening would not be a setback.

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter Filed to ESPN: Lions reached agreement with WR Calvin Johnson on a seven-year, $132 million extension that includes $60 million guaranteed.
-
Yeah, it doesn't seem like effort is a problem, now it's ability.

Reggie Wayne just became maybe my second favorite Colt player ever. To come back to the Colts -- on a reasonable contract -- when they are rebuilding says a whole lot about Wayne. Thanks Reggie. It says his career is winding down and everybody knows it.

Just so reliable. What the [expletive]? What the what?
-
Just so reliable.
-
he was a pipe dream for alot of people. But man...this is great. 2 #3's! and not giving up a #1. His name came up a few times actually, but I think everytime the consensus was Miami had no reason to trade him now.
-
No, no, no, no, no. The Colts would have had a horrible season no matter who their backup QB was. Take the best backup QB out there and the Colts suck balls this year.
