    Why not start giving Villanueva some reps at 2B? Alcantara could end up in CF, and it would take a lot of bad news for him to have a chance at 3B.

    And much better than Miguel Cabrera returned. And I could get more for my house now than I could have 2 years ago, but not as much as I could have 8 years ago. And I can probably get even more for it in 6 months. Depending on how many comparable properties are on the market. And of course, how many house hunters their are. My point is that the market is a greater factor than the player itself. Theo simply sold at the right time with Feldman and Shark/Hammel. With Garza, not so much.

    I'm personally going with Arrieta do to what we gave up for what we might have; however, on that same token, Vizcaino could end up trumping that. Lest we forget that Vizcaino's only 23, so there's plenty of time for him.
  4. Little Slide Rooter
    That's right. Adds more high end potential to that one.
  5. Little Slide Rooter
    I still wish he'd start stretching in Iowa. He has more value as a 4-5 starter than a strong middle reliever, especially with Rondon, Ramirez, Rivero, Vizcaino, and Strop spearheading a potentially uber filthy pen and plenty of options to piece together the rest.

    ???

    Any chance Corey Black makes it to Iowa by season's end?
  8. Little Slide Rooter
    Seeing as this is (hopefully) our last season as sellers in the cellar, 5 years from now, which trade will we look back upon as Hoyerstein's greatest pillaging?

    -NES -Brief stop at Turbo Grafx -Genesis Always fun to look back at our childhood video games and how superior they were to today's. Then actually play those old school games for the first time in 20 some years and realize how primitive they were. Never played the newer Zelda games, but I'm confident that Link doesn't suddenly slow to the speed of molasses because there are too many [expletive] tektites on the screen.

    Perhaps if you go back far enough. I feel this to be far more interesting than who gets the spare roster spot on a 95+ loss team.

    What better way to start off the weekend than an Addison Russell solo shot?
  12. Little Slide Rooter
    i knew who this was going to be before i clicked on it. that guy had a career IsoD of .060 in the minors, and his ability to hit bad balls is legendary, so vitters has a lot of work to do. Is he there yet?
  13. Little Slide Rooter
    26 years old. Recent moderate big league success. Throws baseballs for a living. Theo Signal, activate.

    On the bright side, no more will we have to eagerly check the box score of a 12 hit, 7 run I Cub attack only to see that Chris [expletive] Valaika did the bulk of the damage.
  15. Little Slide Rooter
    I love it. It's like one of those fascist countries that convert to democracy, but votes (and voters) for the other guy begin to mysteriously disappear.
  16. Little Slide Rooter
    One of the big reasons he got traded is that he complained that he wasn't getting the chance to start. I saw an unsubstantiated mention that he might've tanked some out of the bullpen in protest. Don't know any other details around that whole situation, but that's the situation being referenced in all likelihood. It says a lot about how low their opinion of him was that they essentially gave him away rather than letting him start, probably knowing that they were about to open up at least 1 rotation spot not 24 hours later.
  17. Little Slide Rooter
    Is he a person we should care about enough to mock his opinions? He's just a random dude. With a very loose definition of top tier players.
  18. Little Slide Rooter
    Any chance HoyerStein managed to finagle Beachy?
  19. Little Slide Rooter
    From the guy who basically invented the 'the playoffs are a crapshoot and there's no sense worrying about it' theory, yes, I am quite shocked. He probably figured that he's been pulling top prospects out of his ass for well over a decade, and when you share a division with three spend thrifts like the Angels, M's, and Rangers, sometimes you have to grab today by the shirt and curlies and run.
  20. Little Slide Rooter
    No, most likely as simple as the Cubs are asking for too much in return and nobody wants to pay it. From what I've been seeing, the deal is already in progress. I can't imagine they'd be back and forthing this long while we play a man short. To be clear, I'm not talking blockbuster. Guys Villanueva and Schierholtz who have no business taking innings or ABs from younger options. They might not have a ton of value, but for teams in a pennant race looking to fill a spot, it could up the return from a pair of raw, hard throwing A/A- relievers to a pair of slightly less raw, slightly higher ceiling, somewhat harder throwing A/A- relievers.
  21. Little Slide Rooter
    No. Why would it be safe to assume that? Because Team B may very well have some degree of interest in various spare parts. I can't imagine taking this long to agree on a deal for Bonifacio alone.
  22. Little Slide Rooter
    Is it safe to assume that the hold up here isn't about Theo and Mystery GM discussing the return for Bonifacio so much as working on a multi player deal?
  23. Little Slide Rooter
    was he like the white Ozzie Smith or something? 2.4 D WAR not quite Ozzie, but his bat sure didn't win it for him.
  24. Little Slide Rooter
    Extra innings. 2 bats on the bench. One belongs to a catcher. Wood's Off the table. What happens next?
  25. Little Slide Rooter
    Interesting to see who bats next. Bonifacio's the logical choice.
