Re: New GM/Cubs Future News Articles
jersey cubs fan replied to ArizonaGM's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
So if they can't just trade a player for Theo why did they need to trade a player for Theo? -

Given the way things seem to be playing out over there, that might not be far off the mark. LL obviously wants to run the show... and Cherington will probably resent being the puppet GM at some point. Better to be a puppet GM than 2nd in command behind another team's puppet GM. -

He didn't really have much to say.

He's hit and miss for me. Too many misses to be a must read. Yeah, same with me. I've enjoyed quite a few things from him, but he also writes a lot of stinkers.

Soriano for Crawford

Huh, seems odd to me. It gets tiresome toward the end but that's just getting anxious for opening day. Can't imagine this being agony. Because nothing is happening after the initial newness of everyone showing up and then when the games start on TV/radio. Stuff is happening. Guys are playing baseball and every sports themed website is writing about it. The last month or two have been painful with nothing but people writing about rumors that never come to fruition.

I don't get what the issue is with what was written. They have a shortage of good hitters and because of that they could decide to spend big on a potential top prospect. What exactly is the problem? That he might be a good hitter in 3-5 years? If you take it as though he's speaking to their major league roster, it's dumb. If you take it as a comment on their system, it's definitely less dumb, because, yea, they have a shortage of hitters in their system, but they also have a shortage on everything in their system because it's pretty much the worst in baseball. They should be acquiring good prospects because they are assets. It's fairly irrelevant what "need" is in the system when you're talking a 19 year old IFA who is one of the top guys available. If you can get that guy at a price you see fit, you get him. Doesn't really matter what you have. Yeah, still not a problem with what was written. They don't have guys like him, they could use guys like him, and they might decide to spend on him.

BA & BP's Cubs Top Prospect Lists
jersey cubs fan replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Kind of strange that they throw in the righthanded qualifier in there in terms of tools. If they are right handed and have some power you can assume that power comes from the right side, can't you? -

I completely lost track and just figured out they report on Saturday the 18th. Finally. This offseason has been way too long, and despite a lot of things being discussed, it's been boring as hell. Start playing baseball please so we can fast forward to whatever year it will be when this team is good again.

2011-12 Cubs offseason calendar

If you sign a receiver, draft an end in the 1st and solidy O line in the 2nd/3rd you can easily make your offense a top tier unit while reinforcing your defense at the same time.

I think its pretty obvious this is what the poster meant by refreshing. The tendency of some folks here to jump down a guys throat is becoming crazy. That's so crazy. The Cubs haven't acquired or signed a longterm contract in quite some time. This isn't new. This isn't refreshing. It's been this way for quite a while. It will be refreshing once they actually are good again.
-
Nonsense. How many times have we been in the playoff hunt in consecutive years? Multiple times in the past 15 years. 1998 was moderately fluky, but they were good because they had some really good well compensated players. You should want that. You have to pay to play in this league and all this obsessive "don't sign anybody" nonsense infesting everything Cub this year is just stupid. We should be salivating for the next big contract player to come aboard, not rejoicing that none exist.
-
Is that some sort of Keith Seabrook monikor?
-
Nonsense.
-
It's mind boggling that people view this sort of thing as refreshing. What's mind boggling about it? The Cubs stink. I'm happy we don't have any of those players locked up long term. It's a clean slate and a fresh start. What is so refreshing about the Cubs stinking? The reason they don't have any longterm contracts is because their players stink. I would love to have good players signed through 2015 and beyond. People have a perverse desire to have no high paid players or longterm contracts on the team but the only teams built like that suck. It's mind boggling that somebody would find it refreshing to be like all the crappy small market teams.

I'd be fine with not going after a big acquisition (but the next one Bowman makes will certainly be his first). I don't think they can stay with the status quo, but maybe they should trade a "core" player just for some change. If the cost for top talent is high, might as well profit off of it.

As long as the maroon ones say Epstein, I don't care what color they are. BTW, anyone notice everything is a little later this year. I always remember joking to my wife about looking forward to Feb 14th (because pitchers and catchers report.) Opening day isn't until April 5th for most teams, intead of some recent late March starts.

I froze my butt off up there once in college and I don't remember it being the sort of steep and narrow situation that comiskey/Yankee stadium had. It was way the hell up there and away from the action, but nothing memorable.

Care to reword that one Brad?
