    Replace Shark/Hammel with Garza/Feldman, and it was last years master plan. Replace Garza/Feldman with Dempster/Maholm, and it was that of the year before. Now if only those two TOR starters were easier to come by.

    Minor League comebacks are so much more satisfying when relevant prospects are involved. Speaking of which, any reason why Soler was replaced when he was?

    So we have a 21 year old kid who's had attitude issues in the past, and now he's being heckled by hillbillies during what I can only assume has been the roughest patch of his baseball career. I just hope it doesn't escalate into a prospect goes ape [expletive] situations.

    I feel as though the best I can hope for from the hitters' side of an I Cubs box score is somebody other than Chris F'ng Valaika getting on base.

    Mike Fiers made the I Cubs look silly with 13/1 BB/K through 6.1 IP. Wasn't he the Brewer's Randy Wells a few years back?
  6. Little Slide Rooter
    Well, [expletive]. I'd completely forgotten that he was a thing that existed. Looks like he's essentially age appropriate for A pitchers.
  7. Little Slide Rooter
    If we end up with a very cost effective Mark Reynolds, I shan't complain.
  8. Little Slide Rooter
    Random, yes, but Almora has a .169/.404 line in 64 AB vs. righties and .400/1.032 in 35 vs. lefties.
  9. Little Slide Rooter
    Don't know when Shark went all gritty and old school, but managers and GM's tend to love that kind of talk.
  10. Little Slide Rooter
    That's oddly impressive. It seems like most mediocre or bad teams at least stumble into a period of sustained success. The Cubs prefer to wait until after their E# hits 0.

    I take it he's over that nasty old stomach bug.

    Anyone know if Wada's minor league deal has an opt out clause? And this has to be classified as good news: Be gentle with our little glass flower.

    While Chicago's talking heads gush in their collective pants over Jose Abreu, Anthony Rizzo is 3 years younger, >$5MM cheaper, and has a 1.0 WAR to Abreu's 0.8.

    just answer the question you autistic dork Just gonna take questions and then not answer the questions. Law's been a passive-aggressive dick to Cubs fans ever since Szczur-gate.

    i think he was trying to discredit WSR and say you shouldn't listen to things he says Often true, at least when it comes to things. But if dcvalpo is who I've suspected since his debut as dcvalpo, he's probably on the short list of posters who know less than LLF.

    I think it's worth noticing already. But it doesn't really change any projections just yet. FWIW, only Baez and Almora have been bad. Alcantara and Johnson have been streaky and Edwards and Soler have been injury related. Soler WAS OPSing 3.000 before he went down. :blush:

    Something I just stumbled across on BBR, for minor leaguers, they now have an age differential (AgDif,) offering that players age variance vs. the average age of their league. Differs for pitchers and position players and it gives it for each year of that players minor league career. For example, Javy Baez is -5.7, making him 5.7 years younger than the average PCL PP. Even Vitters is still -2.7, giving us a few more years to hang our hats on his age for his league. Of course, it probably lumps in the AAAAers and ex big leaguers not quite ready to call it a career, but some pretty cool toilet reading nonetheless.

    Wondering that myself. It's not like he's a random 26 year old fringer mowing through AA. He was a high-ish profile international FA. I'm starting to enjoy the idea of Strop-Ramirez-Wright-Grimm-Rivero-Rondon-Vizcaino rockin out the pen in the near future.

    Another day, another once promising, young OF.
  20. Little Slide Rooter
    If he's brought up, I want him starting. there's no one to replace. i guess maybe if arrieta bombs. Villanueva? arrieta is replacing villanueva, keep up. Sell high on Hammel before he breaks or cubs.

    We have the Padres in May, but it is a 4 gamer also. We might have a better shot at St Lou then Milwaukee because they are struggling a bit. Milwaukee is rolling right now. Anything can happen in baseball but the upcoming schedule doesn't look good. Even the Sox continue to play over their head. Yeah, but it's in their house. Good luck to this bunch hitting anything out of the infield at PetCo.

    Looks like Veras was cool with the fake injury after all. I'm honestly curious if he ever makes it back on the 25 man roster at this point. Bigger waste, Veras or Scott Baker? Oh god, Baker by a mile. I really do think Veras is injured - he's never been anywhere close to this ineffective during his career. Also unlike Baker, he still has some value when he returns. We should all hope he does in fact come back and have some success, so we can possibly trade him. Baker was also a full on gamble. They knew going in that his Cubs career was likely to end as it did, but he could have also have paid off to the same tune as Maholm and Feldman. Veres was hired to do a job.

    It's just Ho-Young being Ho-Young.

    This Zach Godley has some pretty wicked K rates. Though he is a week north of his 24th B-day in A Ball.
  25. Little Slide Rooter
    I say he looks like every other Sushi loving Chinese player.
