    oh so that's what AAA is. all these years of confusion finally cleared up.

    I know this is the rule/custom we currently have in place. I always feel that it is an unfair advantage when it happens, though. It seems to enable people to carry extra bench guys. But I'm probably in the minority here. this makes zero sense

    it's almost like calculating how many runs a guy saved by pitch framing is speculative nonsense.
  5. abuck1220

  6. abuck1220

  11. abuck1220
    hmm...the parallel between the cubs trading a pile of garbage for arrieta makes me want to DO ALL THE TRADES.
  12. abuck1220
    EVERYONE AGREES WITH THIS
  13. abuck1220
    OMG nobody wants to trade baez for ian kennedy.

    I don't understand how this keeps being said. The Cubs are already 2/3 of the way through a race for the playoffs and very much in contention. i don't think he realizes that being "equipped for a playoff run" means having a playoff berth. No I get it. I don't think we are going to make the playoffs and even if we do, I don't feel this team would be successful in the playoffs. yeah they only have 2 of the top 8 or so SPs in the NL (and 3 of the top 15 or so). you really need to have the very top 5 starters in the league to even have a prayer.
  15. abuck1220
    i doubt anyone wants to trade him for kimbrel.

    What does "all in" mean? I don't think what is being discussed here comes close to people expecting all in. Nobody is talking about all in. What they are talking about is the stupidity with remaining cautious and hoarding all prospects. This nonsense that it's just not time to try yet and we are too far behind to risk losing even one prospect for a chance at a playoff game. in fact, now is as good as time as any to go "all in." you have a healthy and dominant lester and arrieta, something you're not guaranteed over the next 5 seasons or whatever.

    No one said that. sorry. mckinney, contreras and stinnett. point stands.
  18. abuck1220
    for fucks sake, people don't want to trade billy flippin mckinney for ross or carrasco? please just post in the minor league forums and stay out of here please.
  19. abuck1220
    or just stop typing.
  20. abuck1220
    if the cubs didn't want to give him 4 years before 2015, why would they want to pay him through those 4 years (while only benefiting from the last 2 months of the first/in theory best year) now? and give up stuff to get him?
  21. abuck1220
    and that 30 year old is owed $30 mil.
  22. abuck1220
    i will say, the current regime has done a pretty good job of convincing a large percentage of the fanbase that a) the team is broke and b) the only way to be successful is to intentionally suck for five years.
  23. abuck1220
    so they got one top 50 guy and harrison's shitty contract?
  24. abuck1220
    anybody who gets him is getting him for future seasons
  25. abuck1220
    wtf are the mets doing? Wilmer flores is crying on the field. maybe take him out of the game?
