In comments section of Tom lay's stupid article: Comments by editor Tim marchman I'm not shocked that they're trying to make more money, I just think that turning a ballpark unlike any other into a place with giant TV screens in place of clear blue skies is a bad, stupid idea. If it makes you happy to have the views and experience offered by the ballpark ruined so that some random [expletive] can put more money in his pocket, bless your heart.

Deadspin shared that sentiment as well and they would be the first to mock people who think it is about something other than money. The writer claims his sitelines are ruined. He's also not a Cubs fan.

100 HR and .100 AVG?

Only if you want to clean the cheese off the bottom of your oven on a regular basis. What? You definitely do not need anything but the pizza and the rack.

The solution to this is approach Rizzo in a couple years and offer to rip up the existing and extend him another 3 years at a more substantial rate than he is getting but a much lower rate than he could theoretically get as a free agent. If he refuses, keep him at the current rate and let him walk.

huh, that looks incredible inoffensive to me. I like when stupid ads make stupid jokes based solely on where it is located or how it is used. (GAP signs in the gap)

you pay per use

Looks like they are trying to speak with ships at sea

I'd want them to keep their options open and consider the idea of letting him walk and let an internal candidate take the role.

Why is this idea of Schwarber replacing Rizzo becoming a thing? The only time we should be talking about replacing Rizzo is when his contract is up and he makes it known that he won't extend a few more years. Rizzo is controlled for 7 years until he is 31. Schwarber presumably has a couple more years to develop his catching skills and will then be on pace to debut as catcher* in 2017** and taking the full job by 2018. In 2021 Rizzo will be in his final contract year at 31, and Schwarber will be in his arbitration years at 28. At that point you have to strongly consider letting Rizzo walk, using the money elsewhere, and let Schwarber shift over to 1B, presumably with some other more defensively oriented catcher taking his job. He'd have that role for 2 years**. *Assuming the plan is to keep him at catcher, otherwise bring him up this year. **After his 12 days of service time considerations, giving you control through 2023.

No scouting report that I can remember calls CJ a #1 starter. They pretty much all consider his ceiling to be a #2 with the floor of a high leverage reliever. In MLB's current top 100, there are 24 pitchers ranked ahead of CJ. Of those 24, a handful are projected to have a ceiling of a true #1 starter, someone who has a decent chance of becoming a top 30 starting pitcher in all of baseball. CJ may be a #1 prospect in the sense that he is the Cubs #1 (top-ranked) pitching prospect, but he's not projected to be a #1 starter in the bigs even at the most optimistic projection. Those guys are Giolito, Bundy, Cole, etc. or already established guys like Kershaw, Price, Zimmerman, etc. When I see discussions like this I tend to get the feeling that we're operating on the silly ass notion that there are like 5-10 "true" #1 starters in all of baseball or something. -

Bears make it official Chicago Bears @ChicagoBears 18s19 seconds ago #Bears have released veteran center Roberto Garza and signed free-agent center Will Montgomery to a one-year contract. -
I am confused. He was rather famously traded from Detroit
-
When was the last time someone traded away a young #1 starter? Truly asking. Trying to remember. David Price? I guess I should have been more specific on what I meant by young. I was thinking like a 24 or 25 year old #1 starter. I don't think many 24 or 25 #1 starting pitchers, or stud hitters get traded. I think you trade your "surplus" hitting for quality pitching, not superstars.

Sounds like the team is gonna be a bit backed up next season. Considering the disaster that was the locker room it may be they built up a tolerance to his power. -

I'm guessing this is a de facto retirement. Unless Lovie really needs a backup -
