    That is so dumb. Way to cherry pick. Read the rest. Are you going to overpay for Hamels in our situation with all 3 of those guys still on the market? I didn't cherry pick. Your argument was incredibly dumb. There is no reason why you can't trade for one and sign another. But the fact is passing on trades because there are free agents who might be interested in you is a great way to end up with neither.

    I don't get what the average-to-good eye versus extremely aggressive approach dichotomy is? He swings at pretty much everything, but he has a fairly normal balance between the times he swings at strikes and the times he swings at balls. Basically, he swings at both balls and strikes at an extremely high rate. so how does that equate to a good eye? If he swings at balls at an extremely high rate he does not have a good eye.

    Because "just money" does not guarantee you actually get anything. Whereas trading prospects guarantees only that you no longer have those prospects No, unless you stupidly trade prospects for air. If your argument is that you can whiff on all your free agents, you didn't word it very well Apparently I have to spell it out for you. Just because it takes "only money" to get a free agent does not mean that the free agent will choose your money. If you make a trade, the trade is made and the player is yours. You can't simply write off the concept of trading for players just because you think there is a possibility you can be the one team another player chooses in free agency.

    I love football but can't deny this one. Media guys don't make it better, either. Football media are the worst, especially when they're waxing poetic about quarterbacks and their mystical clutch "he's just got 'it'" factor. . No sports' media is worse when it comes to waxing poetic nonsense than baseball media (with the exception of futbol media).

    PTR and his three stooges are counting on most fans to feel that way. How sure are you he's even going to be any good? He got started in the Cuban league late and wasn't there long. He seems to be a physical specimen but that's no real indicator of baseball skill. I trust our scouts to know what he's worth and the front office not to overpay. Has anyone posted his video? http://bit.ly/1BeYgWj I definitely trust these guys not to overpay. Although trust isn't the word I'd use.

    Half the point of stockpiling all the young cheap bats is so they can risk that money. Anybody viewing a big contract to a pitcher as anything but awesome is crazypants.

    Until the Cubs have significantly higher payroll than they do now, I'm not a big fan of adding high end free agent pitchers because of their combo of age/cost/likely performance. I'm not going to furious if Jon Lester is a Cub, but I don't think it's a particularly great idea. That's just a chicken/egg or catch-22 situation. If they actually do go after him, it will be because they can afford it and it is a great idea.

    Lovie isn't a horrible coach. I know he isn't. I actually like Lovie, but dude didn't give a [expletive] about his offense so he was NEVER going to get the Bears over the hump. He coached them into the super bowl so I'm not sure what hump he could never get them over.
