    They should just act as professionally as possible from this point forward. You don't want to let a player weasel out of his contractual obligations, but you don't want to to gain a reputation as an organization that will F with players out of spite.

    Once you've eaten it you no longer "have" it. What if I eat half of it? Then you have half a cake.

    My question was really more related toward why people seem to always skip over 2B when talking about where he'd play if he's blocked at SS and/or 3B. It came up specifically on MLBN yesterday and it wasn't really about where he'd be if he got bigger or lost a step. It was about where the Cubs could make room for him with Castro at SS and Bryant potentially slated for 3B. I have no idea why those guys would rather stick him in the OF than at 2B and I've seen other conversations on this exact issue go the same direction. Often the discussion then goes to "Well Baez's arm would be wasted at 2B" which is absolutely ridiculous to me....(but the MLBN guys didn't go that direction at all...they just didn't even mention 2B). Totally understand the idea that he might outgrow the infield or lose a step as he ages. Even if he loses a step 2B can still be the next stop. My guess is that while the focus may have been on what they will do with Castro around, there was still an assumption being made that he'd outgrow the middle infield. MLBN went crazy with talks about how this year's draftees affect the major league rosters of the teams that drafted them, immediately. It's just a talking point meant to fill airtime, not meaningful at all.

    He had already been rehabbing and doing horribly in AAA when he chose to accept his demotion back then. His April OPS was like 300, so he didn't have much hope of catching on in a place of his choosing. He's up past 1000 OPS in June, which probably makes him think he can pick his spot a little more freely, thus, the timing of his tirade. But this also wasn't his first bout of bitchiness on the twitter machine. Yeah, duh, I kind of glossed over the whole, he would have lost the money then point behind this issue.

    Isn't Soler the RF of the future?

    it's fortunate for him that the coke was on the left side of his face as the camera zoomed in

    Well, you are missing Arsenio Hall in the booth tonight. Nothing like tuning into a cubs game and having to listen to them struggle through an interview. Len and JD clearly ready to get back to baseball. I wouldn't say I was missing it... The only thing I like with Arsenio was Coming to America, and I think that was because I was 12 and there were boobs in the movie. And it was a fantastic film.

    Guess which Daytona Cub got the first call-up to the majors this season.

    my favorite part was the prison rape reenactment of #15 on the DBacks being bent over the dugout fence

    Any chance you can explain this? If a guy starts 20+ games at 4-5 positions over the course of a season or maybe starts 50 games at two spots, but someone else starts at that spot more, why is super sub a bad name to use? Because it's a stupid made up label arbitrarily handed out to players depending on the status of the rest of the roster. It's as bad as Merrill Hoge's "factorback"
  13. jersey cubs fan
    and that super sub is a made up thing

    summary?

    but you can put him 2 or 3? For me it's not a hard and fast rule. If you have a really weak system with no top end guys, it would be easy to put a newly drafted player at the top of the list. But when you have two guys doing what they are doing at their age, and with their scouting reports, in the FSL then it should be much harder to just insert an amateur ahead of them.

    I had no idea McGwire was on that staff.

    I don't get it. Nothing to get. He just looks insanely tall to me in that particular picture. He's one head taller than his rather normal sized wife. And you can see his entire leg. Looks like normal Jay to me.

    That's just not true. I believe the odds were slightly in favor of Pittsburgh as the playoffs began. And going into the conference finals, I believe Pittsburgh was still the favorite, by the odds. Boston just demoralized what was essentially the highest rated team in the playoffs. That is why they are on a high. Boston beat more highly rated teams to get here, while the Blackhawks beat a couple also-rans and then LA. Now, the Blackhawks probably should have been rated as a more clear cup pick at the outset, but they were nothing more than equals with Pittsburgh from a national standpoint.

    I don't get it.

    Really? It's pretty easy to see what is frustrating about it.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    I don't understand how you pretend a player under contract repeatedly complaining about his status with the team and begging to get fired isn't a story. The most obvious follow-up question to the 25 man roster comment is Javier Baez, Kris Bryant, Jorge Soler, Albert Almora and plenty of other guys aren't on your 25 man roster either yet you have comments about them all the time. This is a story, let's not pretend it isn't just because Sullivan wrote it and it's annoying.

    No need to revisit when everybody knew that was the case already.

    Paul Sullivan ‏@PWSullivan 9m Hoyer to WSCR on Stewart tweets: "really unprofessional and there will be consequences."

    OK, which numbers are the most important and what do they mean for Baez? What?
