    Of course not. Look, the Cubs have some sort of budget constraints. The Cubs have also tried to get free agents that would have been productive for the major league club. The Cubs missed on those free agents because of budget constraints. Jose Abreu was a free agent who wasn't as good as the ones the Cubs targeted. He was had at a reasonable price due to his lesser abilities and older age. There was no place for him on the Cubs. Had the Cubs needed a first baseman, they may have made a run at him. And the end of the day, I don't think that is Abreu the case study for how to build at the major league level via free agency. It smells of media meatballery and gushing over a pleasant surprise at the beginning of the season. Would this article would have been written if Abreu weren't outperforming his peripherals? Does it matter? Yes, because we're talking about rebuilding, not being hot for a month. No, we're talking about fielding a competitive team while in the process of contending. Or put another way, the notion of rebuilding without taking a multi-year dive.

He's not the case study, but he is a perfectly reasonable example that plays for a team in the same city as the Cubs and happen to be playing them the day it was written. there's nothing wrong with this.

    2012 campaign season.
  8. jersey cubs fan
    well.
  9. jersey cubs fan
    How does that make him a bad example? Because he isn't perfect?

    Trade Questioned in connection to a double homicide. There's nothing illegal about killing hopes and dreams.
  11. jersey cubs fan
    Oh that's right, the reputation was that he went to teams who lost Stanley Cups.

    Isn't Boston/Montreal on before? Are they switching to NBCSN after that game? Not according to the guide. It stays on CNBC and NBCSN will air an NHL postgame thing and then some BPL show later.

    Of course they should and could be drastically better. But the same was true the last few years. The Cubs haven't tried to get better and it is kind of hard to accomplish a goal you are not trying to achieve.

    Put me down as someone who thinks he is a great player. He gets screwed when it comes to selke conversation, probably because he doesn't take many face-offs. Been a consistent scorer on some very good teams the last 5 yrs. I think some of the things that may make him underrated are: 1. Began career on Ottawa, good team playoff flopper. 2. Prime years were played in Atlanta. 3. late prime years he has been very good but on teams that had Crosby, Malkin, Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Toews, and Kane. Not that he is not at their level or close, he just has never had the star appeal that those 6 have. He also has a reputation as being a good player whose teams won cups after he left. And there are a handful of fanbases that stupidly boo him aggressively based on old grudges.

    Thank goodness I decided to read the thread this morning. Fantastic work by Bukie. He's the apologists' apologist.

    The new market inefficiency is providing less skanky hos.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    I thought that was Simpson. Vitters had mono too? I thought he had it at draft time, while Simpson got it after being drafted? I don't know. There was something about his current physical condition at draft time.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    To the corner store?
  19. jersey cubs fan
    That just tells you scouty types have poor judgement.
  20. jersey cubs fan
    I think the lesson with Vitters is you don't draft a high school player who is currently dying from mono.

    I think the goat farmer is saying he agrees that Sammy, as a non-US born English speaker, was absolutely justified to have an interpreter at that hearing.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    Josh Vitters agrees. In his senior year he had 14 BB and 6 K in 91 PAs. Were they intentional?
