    So that Richie Incognito fella seems nice.

    Planning on letting teams know they will listen vs shopping. I guess planning to inform that you won't hang up is a less aggressive form of shopping.

    That's probably why he said, "again".

    Yankees with a dire need and Dodgers with [expletive] you money=No chance for anyone else. Ya know...we kind of have a dire need too, but...you know. This is Gordon Gecko trying to outbuy Billy Ray Valentine-pre switch. More like Gordon Gecko not even acknowledging Louis Winthorpe III while Louis was just shoving salmon in his pants.

    Yes, what you likely seen from Castro his 1st 3 years is his likely ceiling. This is [expletive] ridiculous. What is he going to develop 20+ Hrs, Obp above .370. Hes only 22 but he has well over 2000 PAs. He won't be as bad as last year but to expect above what he did before last year is foolish at this point. Hope next year, I expect more. If he repeats 13', his value will be close to zero. Well, he could OBP .350 and hit 18 HR and be better than he was prior to last year.

    it looked good

    Being laser focused on acquiring any one thing is short-sided.

    Then our front office is stupid. That's a bit harsh I think. A career .322 OBP is not impressive. But since he plays a deluxe position, I think they feel they can still move him for something compelling. I'm a fan of OBP, but you don't just judge a 23 year old SS on his career OBP.

    Because that will cost you $4.5m above the minimum while you let it play out.
  10. jersey cubs fan
    Is it Miller or Martinez or Jenkins and a position prospect?
  11. jersey cubs fan
    Uh, the value would have been incredibly high.
  12. jersey cubs fan
    So the "I'm told" is really just out there to send a message to other Castro suitors that the market is real and they have to expect to trade a lot for him?
  13. jersey cubs fan
    Not sure where to put this, but figured it could start a new thread. Yankees signed Jeter to a 1-year deal worth more than the player option he had. The reason is because the one year figure is less than the average value of the previous contract had he exercised his options. That average value would count against the taxable total, so they paid less in an effort to stop paying the penalty. http://deadspin.com/why-the-yankees-gave-derek-jeter-a-raise-1456848034

    that's a pretty brutal redraft Who redoes a draft 1/2 season later? "Redoing" a draft is a pointless endeavor, but if it's going to be done, there's nothing wrong with doing it after half a season. Every NFL GM would love the opportunity to get a full NFL training camp plus 8 games to get a further impression on the players they like.
  15. jersey cubs fan
    Okay, to me it feels inevitable that a lot of improvements will be made and they were win a playoff game. But, to each his own.
  16. jersey cubs fan
    I seem to remember him hanging out at Wrigley with a few friends and playing after hours. Anything to avoid the wife

    The point I'm making here is that fans are more obsessive about this stuff than the players. Fans and the media are obsessed with baseball's past, but the guys who get paid to play the game do so because they are good at it, not because they are obsessed with baseball trivia. It shouldn't surprise anybody that any player is unaware of certain facts about baseball's past.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    Did you have that same opinion before all the other recent changes to Wrigley Field?
  19. jersey cubs fan
    I'd expect any student at NYU who also played baseball to know that. He's not an idiot, and it's not obscure history. He's a student there now. He knows that now. He's also studying creative writing.
  20. jersey cubs fan
    yes The outer wall. But isn't that still undecided?
  21. jersey cubs fan
    I almost rewound the part where Joe Buck said something about it on the final out but decided I didn't care. What a stupid forced storyline.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    celebrate the game? youthful joy on the field? There will be youthful joy when I celebrate your death.

    My high school team was 90% absolute baseball nerds. Some might be more of historian trivia nerds than others but all of them pretty much were huge MLB fans and lived the game. I went to a huge school though and most the team were only baseball players (highly specific athletes at the school compared to smaller schools). I guess I could see going to a small school where its the same kids on the baseball, basketball, and football team, and some of them dont necessarily live baseball though. My school was relatively small for the conference, but 1600 kids led to plenty of supply. This was the early 90's and baseball was well into its ebb away from being the sport that kids followed. This was also the suburbs of Chicago. Cardenas went to school in Florida and time has shown us that nobody in Florida cares about professional baseball.

    He's busy being drunk. so now's the perfect time to lowball him Mmmmmm, lowball. Nothing like the hair of the dog.
  25. jersey cubs fan
    Why do you think a high school player lives nothing but baseball? We had one guy on our team who I would describe as "living the sport", the rest were normal high school kids who happened to play baseball. There are media members who have written dozens, if not hundreds, of articles and columns about "today's player not appreciating or knowing the history of the game." They lament what a shame it is that some guys don't know who Jackie Robinson is. Plus, half his minor league teammates probably were not native born Americans, what do they care about 1950s baseball? Then you add in the fact that he's from Florida and I don't see what is so surprising about his lack of knowledge.
