    Tommy Birch ‏@TommyBirch 3m Manny Ramirez is in tonight's I-#Cubs lineup batting sixth and DHing. #PCL As adamant as Theo was about his role when they signed him, it doesn't seem that they left themselves much room to call up Manny. What circumstances do people see needing to occur to make it happen?

    at the minor league level, it is simply just not possible to make a valid argument that the FO inherited a remotely viable farm system; i'd make the educated guess we've received less than 5 wins total out of that group to this point Shark was a 26 year old reliever with a replacement-level performance to that point in his career, but if you want to argue he was an elite asset, continue to do so, and prove further how unwilling you're going to be to think objectively Cashner's nearly 28 and has amassed a total of 3.5 fWAR; perhaps you'll tell me next what fantastic trade assets Larry Anderson and Heathcliff Slocumb were? You have shown no interest in thinking objectively at all. There's no point in talking with another apologist about their most pathetically apologistic nonsense. Boo hoo, they had nothing to work with, nothing at all. There was no talent and no assets and no hope. The 5-year rebuild was completely necessary and it's all the other guys' fault.

    His nickname (on his BR page) is "Big game James". Also, he threw 5.2 innings of shutout ball in a world series, picking up the only win his team would get in that series. If KC makes it in the playoffs this year, he'll get a ton of credit for being that team's #1 pitcher. I don't put any stock into this, but I still have a hard time believing there won't be a GM (or 2 or 3) that will give him an 80-100Mil contract based on that type of stuff. Hell, it could be argued that KC gave up one of the best prospects in baseball for him based on that type of stuff. Who cares what his nickname is? His most recent playoff appearance was 2011 and he gave up 7 ER in 5 IP. Nobody is going to base their judgement on his ability on 2008.

    Whatever you want to claim about how the player development has improved Baez, he was a talent in the system when they arrived. The apologists can't have their cake and eat it too.

    They had Cashner, which was needed to get Rizzo. They had a very young Castro and Samardzija as well. They also had the trade pieces needed to acquire Wood. There was no bare cupboard.

    I would not assume Shields gets an unjustifiably large and long contract. His reputation isn't that amazing. He's had limited playoff exposure and I don't think he even did very well. He's the kind of guy who, if he went out and had a great 2014 postseason, he will have a huge deal. But everybody knows he turns 33 this winter and he's not getting tons of Cy Young or all star credit, let alone those reputation making playoff runs. He might be somebody worth staying in on until he does actually sign.
  7. jersey cubs fan
    Yeah, I remember years ago thinking Shields may have been a one hit wonder or something like that but he's been pretty good for a while. He is old though and has a lot of innings on his arm.
  8. jersey cubs fan
    huh?

    It's pretty clear Parks has Alcantara in the top 20. My only question is he saying Soler isn't top 40? Does he have Almora there instead? Does he do this list himself or is it collaborative. He could be more down on Soler than the list ended up being if others are involved in the decision.

    What did Brett write about this time?
  11. jersey cubs fan
    Kane County won :) And the Shawon-O-Meter up to .238 with a 2 hit day.

    Every time I think this team is playing well and winning more than they are losing I look at the standings and sure enough, still 10 games under and 5-5 in their last 10.
  13. jersey cubs fan
    Right now I'd say so. Ask me again in January and I may change my mind. A 16 point to 50 point guy seems more than slight to me. Did he score 50 last year? I was under the impression he was near the end. He's near it, but he had 20g and 30 assists on an offensively dull rangers team.
  14. jersey cubs fan
    If he was a quality shortstop.

    Those last few sentences are akin to corporate speak nonsense.

  18. jersey cubs fan
    I like the Yadlin guy

    I like that a soccer goalie is basically just a really sloppy volleyball player
  20. jersey cubs fan
    So, like winners?
  21. jersey cubs fan
    I don't think letting the ball go between your legs works when the opposing team is right behind you
  22. jersey cubs fan
    Belganistan seems very good at getting in perfect position to score and then shoot nowhere near the goal.
  23. jersey cubs fan
