    Right, but THEY SHOW UP TODAY!!!!

    Yeah, but the start of camp usually seems more exciting just because football, especially with another dreadful Cubs season. Maybe that's just a made up memory though.
  3. jersey cubs fan
    well training camp starts. Not sure why the excitement seems so low.

    He's not even white.

    Isn't that spot likely available for Fujikawa coming off the 60 Day DL? He's rehabbing in AAA right now.

    The last thing the front office should want to do is give off some sort of "Baez is our savior" vibe. He's already going to be putting that sort of pressure on himself because of who he is. If anything they'll want to lower expectations for fans. Which is just another reason he may not come up until late next spring. But man if he comes up soon... So exciting! They aren't doing that. They are just giving little cookies to fans (even though Theo said he doesn't do this) by kinda hinting/bringing up his name. That's not saying "Baez is our savior" or like "hint hint, hey guys maybe Baez is coming soon". Why the hell do you think Len would not talk about Baez if not for a hint or nod from the FO?

    What? No it doesn't. It looks like they might start trying a little and the results might start getting better next year, but nothing indicates they are really going for it.

    How does he figure? The only way Cutler could even begin to own Chicago is if he brought a SB back to the city, in which case many fans would play the "won in spite of him" card while others would continue to obsess over what they perceive to be deficiencies... personality, on-field, or otherwise (see: Manning, Eli). I really don't think you will see much of a "won in spite of him" crowd if they win one with Jay. Especially since the only chance they have to win one is if he has an amazing season.

    Baez could pretty easily struggle for 500 PAs to fully adjust to MLB pitchers. It could take 1000 for all we know, if 'caring' about winning in 2015 is the top priority, Baez should be the one traded considering his floor and the other options. Sacrificing a year of team control for the difference in "Javy MLB PA 201-700" and "Javy MLB PA 1-500" is a really, really bad idea. What in his adjustment phase at every single level leads yo to believe it will take 500 or 1,000 PAs to adjust? If getting the adjustment out of the way now leads to him hitting well right off the bat next spring so we don't start out losing 2 out of every 3 games like the start of this year and stay in contention because of it, yeah, it's completely worth it. Well, it took longer at AAA than AA didn't it? And the majors is the biggest jump of them all with pitchers most likely to exploit his weaknesses.

    That's why so many of us have hated the plan.
  13. jersey cubs fan
    I'm not saying it's definitely happening. It's just a small dot in a picture that was already starting to come into focus. The big dot was the position switch. How is the position switch a big deal or sign of anything imminent? It was always going to happen and becoming comfortable with a new position takes time.
  14. jersey cubs fan
    What the hell does this even mean? That's more than you get from just about anybody else. In fact, on the list of Chicago athletes whose personalities I'm most familiar with, I'm pretty sure Jay is #1. Unless you count Rose's complete lack of personality.

    Ha, I was just about to post that. He looks jacked. Subtitles? What kind of conceited movie snob would watch this drivel? I vote football in the groin.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    Jesus Christ...this is the response to a glowingly positive report and #1 ranking? Also, Pierce isn't that good and all he said was that he hasn't been effective at AA, which is pretty much true. Sue the guy for not getting every last detail about every player's arbitrary end points. Hey now mister you know the rules, any negative commentary about anything related to the farm system is unwarranted and must come from a biased viewpoint.

    the junior lake comparison makes me want to curl up into a ball and cry If Junior Lake could hit homeruns whenever he wanted and had the patience to take some walks at twice the rate he actually did, then I think he would be pretty useful.

    Hope all you listeners like your sports takes hot. DOES JAY CUTLER HAVE ANY MORE EXCUSES? I DON'T THINK HE HAS ANYMORE EXCUSES!
  21. jersey cubs fan
    Sure, teach him to play cf and he'll be fine.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    Are you reading rants?
  23. jersey cubs fan
    Damn rizzo, well struck
  24. jersey cubs fan
    I had to go back and look what was said, my goodness how is the vogelbach reputation what it is with people? Just because he has to be a offensive beast to be worth anything does not mean he is an offensive beast.
  25. jersey cubs fan
    Soler better not still be on that list a year from now. If he's down, something is wrong.
