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.

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.
-
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.

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!

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. -

Soler better not still be on that list a year from now. If he's down, something is wrong. -
i have posted extensively about my scott bullett love in the past. great man. I remember some video game with him as the centerpiece of my cubs lineup. Those were the days.
-
In what way? I don't think teams are supposed to be directly negotiating with "advisors." So his statements serve as proof that he was an agent? What about Casey Close's own statements about negotiations?
-
In what way?
-
Not if we suck enough to get the #1 overall pick It'll even suck then because if there's a clear No. 1 pick, he'll have the Astros' massive signing pool whispering promises into his ear. And if the Cubs select them first they will just choose not to take the slot and wait another year in hopes of Houston or another team being in the same mega slot situation?
-
I can't imagine him getting traded in a deal that would upset me. If they do trade him(doubtful) it would probably be for something very useful and good, which would make me happy.

That is a given, his name is Cole.
