    Castro is a nice piece, but he is nowhere near the kind of player you worry about "wasting" his cheap years. That is such an incredibly stupid comment to make. He's exactly the kind of player you worry about wasting his cheap years. Not only is he already far ahead of what anybody could reasonably expect, once he does become expensive, he's going to stay expensive for a long time. He'll be a free agent before he's peaked. That doesn't happen. Ideally, the new GM is able to give him a team friendly extension, which seems to be the trend for young stars.

    Castro is a nice piece, but he is nowhere near the kind of player you worry about "wasting" his cheap years. He's 21 years old and leads the NL in hits, and is just starting to develop his power. I'd say he could very well be the kind of player you worry about "wasting" his cheap years.

    So it's taken you over 4 months to come to that conclusion?
  4. Little Slide Rooter
    Don't forget that it's also a top prospect matched up against a AAAA junkballer.

    Brett 2-4 with a 2B. Hope Vitters is OK.
  6. Little Slide Rooter
    Damn base cloggers.

    I think that's a needed dose of reality for a lot of Cubs fans. HA. HA-HA-HA. The next Pujols. GFY So Bryce Harper sometime between 2017-2020? Pujols's grow on trees. They are a dime a dozen.

    I think Castro needs to be tested for please let this [expletive] season end so our new GM can build a respectable baseball team disorder.

    I think that's a needed dose of reality for a lot of Cubs fans. Are you sure you don't mean a daily dose of one guys opinion, because that's more what I got out of it.

    http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20110821&content_id=23540566&vkey=news_mlb&c_id=mlb Travis Hafner has hit the DL, so the Indians could be a great landing spot for either Carlos Pena or Jim Thome. They could be thinking the same way, as they filled his roster spot with a pitcher. Pena would definitely be an upgrade over Matt LaPorta defensively.

    If we do pick up Aramis' 16 mil option, the wise thing to do would be to save that 1.9 mil and let Jeff Baker walk, leaving DeWitt, Flaherty, LeMahieu, Marwin Gonzalez, and Jon Mota fight it out for the 2 backup infield spots. Heck, I'd be all for lettin Baker and DeWitt walk and save over 2.5 mil. May as well trade them by the end of the month. If we do keep Aramis and land Fielder, we'll need to save money somewhere, and it Baker and DeWitts saving might not sound like a ton, but I don't think that they'd provide enough of an advantage over one of the farm hands.

    Carlos Pena has finally been placed on waivers. Lets hope something happens.
  13. Little Slide Rooter
    If only their were a creature who could hit like Castro but field like Barney. A Starlin Castro-Barney, so to speak.
  14. Little Slide Rooter
    Pujols rather.
  15. Little Slide Rooter
    Didn't the Cards give Fielder a few reps at 3rd this year?
  16. Little Slide Rooter
    Note to self: have umbrella on hand if we get Friedman.
  17. Little Slide Rooter
    And now his 4th. KLaw is an ass. Matt Szczur has 9 home runs in 124 pofessional games. Juan Pierre has 17 in a 15 year professional career. Im not saying that Szczur will be a superstar,but Law needs to drop the Juan Pierre comparisons.
  18. Little Slide Rooter
    The closest thing I can ever recall to someone doing anything along those lines was Mark Buerhle and his overly stated love for the Cardinals.
  19. Little Slide Rooter
    If they get the owner Bud's trying to push through, I'm not sure Friedman can save them. They're the worst team in baseball with the worst farm system in baseball, though that has been upgraded with recent trades and could be even more so if they trade Wandy. Still, this is a team far from salvation.

    Overly educated? What the hell does that mean? More anti-intellectual garbage from "baseball men"? I'd hope that a GM of our team held an advanced degree or at least a bachelor's degree (in finance, business, economics, etc.) from a top tier university. Yeah, I could hardly read the rest of that article after the "overly educated" statement. He's too smart to be a GM? Uh, OK. Also, even with their dream move to San Jose, I struggle envisioning the A's becoming a more valuable franchise than the Giants. I think you guys are taking his use of the word "overly" a bit too literally. Or maybe just reading a bit too much into a poorly worded comment, Maybe just saying he gots him some good book smarts would have sufficed.
  21. Little Slide Rooter
    Just out of curiosity, what exactly is it that Fleita does?
  22. Little Slide Rooter
    Heres a little piece from MLBTR Carlos Pena and Michael Cuddyer are by no means alternatives to Fielder or Pujols. Again, with all the money the Cubs have coming off the books between '12-'14, theres no reason why we can't land Fielder or Pujols, CJ Wilson, 1 of the big name starters who will be FAs in '13(Hamels, Danks, Cain, Marcum, Greinke) and someone like Kemp or Ethier in that time span, especially with some somewhat backloaded contracts.

    roosters fighting to the death.
  24. Little Slide Rooter
    It's either that or chaw.

    http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/New-York-Yankees-Burnett-Girardi-wastes-chance-to-earn-credibility-082111 I'm sure some money would have to change hands, but Burnett could be the best we could hope for if The Yanks are interested.
