That should be grounds for ending negotiations on the spot and walking out the room/hanging up the phone. On the contrary, it's evidence you are negotiating with morons who can be duped.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 6-5-14

He's must think he's still in Boston. To be fair, as a 40 year old that may be all he could get. -
apparently nobody else can be bothered.

He looked 70 while managing the cubs

I know you don't draft at #4 based on need, but with our depth at middle infield, I really hate the idea of drafting someone who might not be able to hit. I love the idea of being able to add Schwarber/Conforto/Pentecost to a 2016 lineup that already includes Rizzo, Castro, Bryant, Baez, Soler. I would be an awful scout/general manager. Don't care about the organizational depth, the lack of hitting is bothersome.

Keith Hernandez is having fun with the Cubs defense this inning.

Wasn't Crawford like 26 when he started? Same with Niemi, while Huet was getting most of the time. Anyway, I have no idea who should or should not get more chances, I only interpret what the beats writers say about who is in Q's doghouse and who is in his good graces. -
What was so special about this groundball? He looked smooth but really? He fielded the ball then took it from his glove from behind/between his legs. That's the type of thing every high school player attempts to do and occasionally does smoothly.

dear lord I hope this was a joke. Yeah, you have to trade Rizzo first, otherwise your trading partners will have you over a barrel.

This year's crop is underwhelming. No one in this year's draft would be taken ahead of last year's top three. why wouldn't we take best available at 4? Because best available at 4 may only be incrementally better than 24 but will cost a hell of a lot more than 24. Under the new system it may be more useful to take the cheaper guy.

And his likelihood of success would probably plummet. -
So Jackson is, or is not, Harper? He is being compared to Harper because of being a good offensive- athletic catcher, who is also likely switching to OF. I think people see that comparison and think he'll be ready just as soon. Where are you getting this from?
-
as a non-expert it strikes me as a way to underslot and then overslot later. Under the old system it would be a cost cutting move that many loser teams got ridiculed for.

I don't think that is even the least bit true.

Okay, I didn't have a good basis to talk about the ads on radio. I know that on the very rare occasions I listen to sports talk in Chicago the ads are often for strip clubs. I assume the ads on WGN radio are similarly targeted at their particular audience.

What did the obsessive idiot say?

Who listens to AM radio anyway? 60 year olds? That is a large dedicated market. Baby boomers have all the money and that's why television ads are littered with catheter, scooter, reverse mortgage, pharmaceutical lawsuits, etc. 60 year olds... are baby boomers. That's the point. Referring to the station as a dinosaur and irrelevant ignores the fact that they are just giving their target audience what they want. They aren't going to lose the old people that listen everyday, and there's no point in spending huge on the Cubs to theoretically bring in a younger demographic that isn't going to listen to their crop reports.
-
There's all kinds of research to dispute that. There's more disposable money in the older market. Older than 60 year olds?
