  1. Hey, let's not ignore Brett Jackson's walk? It's going to be a shame when 17 years from now Baez is being put through the media gauntlet after being caught with some PEDs, but it's going to be an amazing 16 years in between.
  2. Daisuke is getting lit up in his return at Citi Field. 5-1 in the 2nd.
  3. Uhhh, was it me or was he wild as heck, and all the offspeed stuff was elevated.
  4. http://kissingsuzykolber.uproxx.com/2013/08/jay-cutler-vs-jay-cutler.html http://cdn.ksk.uproxx.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Cutler-579x600.jpg
  5. Have you just been catching up on the last year of activity? Yesterday it was talking about how well Vitters has played since his return, today's it's about the weight Vogelbach lost a long time ago.
  6. http://deadspin.com/confused-hawk-harrelson-gives-his-best-home-run-call-1188134218 What is it? You can put it on the, nooooo, safe? You can put it on the board or what?
  7. Theo and Jed may be short, but neither one is stocky, let alone bald.
  8. I would be hesitant for two reasons. Tampa/Atlanta are division opponents and you are taking the over with both, despite the presence of a still dangerous New Orleans in their division and a potentially interesting Carolina. You are also putting a lot of faith in Detroit, who has won 9 games once in the last 350 years. I think you have to count on one of the Bears and Vikings to take a nosedive to make that bet, but you are also betting on GB taking a step back.
  9. You don't need revenue gains to justify a backloaded contract.
  10. You think all Asian players are Japanese? This guy is a Choo.
  11. http://blogs.desmoinesregister.com/dmr/index.php/2013/08/22/season-likely-over-for-cubs-prospect/article?nclick_check=1
  12. Not since Sandberg at least.
  13. He's played twice in the last month.
  14. Poor kid is still going to have to earn his first real big money pitching in Denver. They should trade him next year.
  15. Well they should have made a trade before the non-waiver deadline then, or you know, ponied up and traded for Justin Upton. The fans never had that choice.

  18. Wouldn't it make sense to front load the deal given the projected payroll for the next couple of years is relatively low? Why would that make sense? They don't have much space the next couple years, but do have theoretical space in 3-5 years.
  19. Keith Law already flipped a switch in favor of the Cubs when Theo came on board. Guys like him already know Theo and Jed's success and record. The Cubs universally have a top 5 system. Yes, the cubs have a universally regarded top 5 system, crapping the bed at the big league level and having high draft picks will lead to that. I understand that Jed and Theo are respected. However, their is a large mass out their that believes the Cubs, no matter who is running them, will routinely find a way to screw things up. I think the pundits, whether consciously or not, reflect that bias on some level. While parts of the general public may hold that opinion I doubt any of these guys analyzing prospects and systems as a whole are biased by that nonsense. The fact is there is a perfectly reasonable justification for not getting as worked up about Baez as most of us are.
  20. :-k Probably in response to davell who mentioned signing DeJesus this winter.
  21. Why lol? He didn't have an amazing pro career, but he still had a career, and that is a name any high school would be proud of producing.
  22. If it's a player, it needs to be Rice. He is so much better than the next best WR. No other player is that much better than the 2nd best player at their position. And yet, he's just a receiver.
