  1. Trey Lang's twitter Maybe part of that broken past contributed to an inability to be allowed into Canada.
  2. so wtf is that, those guys aren't able to travel to canada? If they aren't US citizens but here on Visa's could there be issues with that?. Obviously they would have to have a passport regardless. I'm going to make a guess that the guys named Trey are indeed US Citizens.
  3. And then they hang up and extend him. Garza is Feldman with better stuff and the same results. Let's let someone else pay for his stuff and name, probably fill a rotation spot for several years, then go get next year's Feldman for half the price and be way better off. There's not an endless line of Feldmans waiting to sign cheap 1 year deals. Cost certainty and not having to sign 3 starting pitchers per offseason matters. There's not an endless line of them, and I'm not sure how many of them are going to keep wanting to sign those deals with Chicago knowing they are only signing them so they can trade for a prospect at the deadline.
  4. But he could have been somebody else's non-prospect prospect not getting blocked while not playing in AAA.
  5. so wtf is that, those guys aren't able to travel to canada? DUI or pot arrests?
  6. Because it's in Citi Field.
  7. Yeah, blocking Vitters isn't a thing. valbuena's OPS will be under .700 by the end of the year. i'd just like to see a former prospect see if he can turn it around, there's absolutely no harm in giving him time instead of cody [expletive] ransom. He was only a prospect because the stupid previous regime stupidly drafted him. Let's see if he can see the AAA field without pulling his Stewart before we worry about getting him more big league time.
  8. It would be hard for me to find it from my phone, but I believe there was a chance he could see some action next month (obviously if things progress well from here). Sorry in advance if that is off base, but I think that is what I recall. Reports at the time of his latest procedure said he would not throw a ball for at least 6 weeks. That would be today. Sullivan took heat for saying he was being shut down for the season, but others used the shut down language as well and it is pretty much assumed he will not pitch until the Arizona Fall League.
  9. I would guess he was talking with them when news of the deal came out.
  10. I was at the Yankees game and did the same thing while checking my phone on the way out.
  11. Yeah, blocking Vitters isn't a thing.
  12. Well, if you spend huge on multiple guys one year, then spread it around to a hell of a lot more, then rinse and repeat, you can get the best (or worst) of both worlds. That is assuming you timed the market right.
  13. I'm thinking Dominican Summer League, until he gets his feet wet.
  14. Wait, what? Navarro? What exactly does he have to do with this? I believe there was a mention somewhere in media land that Navarro and Garza have been working great during his past four starts and that they might be a nice package deal for a team. But hasn't it been more about him not wanting to work with Castillo as opposed to being life partners with Navarro?
  15. I don't see how that would do much good. You have to give us X for this since we gave the others guys X for it last year. If the Cubs are the team setting the market, and doing so alone, the market isn't really set.
  16. So if they do this, then the only point in trading for slot money was to save on the amount of money they would pay in penalties? That's disheartening.
  17. Sounds like a signing that would be along the lines of the pre-new CBA, "screw it, we have to spend the money now" variety. Interesting guy, but worthy of throwing away next year's options?
  18. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130511175431/arresteddevelopment/images/thumb/1/15/3x03_Michael.png/310px-3x03_Michael.png
  19. they do, click Show Minors Unless I'm missing something, Show Minors is on Fangraphs. BR takes you to a separate page when you click the minors tab. to the right of standard batting, more stats, glossary
  20. they do, click Show Minors Where is this option? I notice two options for the minors on the MLB player page, but those just bring you to the separate minors page, not both sets of numbers together. Nevermind, just found it.
  21. John Arguello ‏@CubsDen 2h IMO, the Cubs got a better pitching prospect for Hairston than any of the 3 guys the Marlins got for Nolasco.
  22. The answer to your question is that after Aaron Hernandez shot Castro the Cubs called up Vitters to take his place so as to not take away from the attention on the Blackhawks playoff run.
