    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.
  3. 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.
  4. abuck1220
    or just stop typing.

    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?
  6. abuck1220
    and that 30 year old is owed $30 mil.
  7. 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.
  8. abuck1220
    so they got one top 50 guy and harrison's shitty contract?
  9. abuck1220
    anybody who gets him is getting him for future seasons
  10. abuck1220
    wtf are the mets doing? Wilmer flores is crying on the field. maybe take him out of the game?
  11. abuck1220
    yeah the advantage the Cubs have in getting hamels is that that have better pieces to offer in a trade. they have no advantage over other teams that are just gonna offer price a pile of money.
  12. abuck1220
    yeah let's just wait until the next* stud 24 yr old free agent pitcher hits the market. *first
  13. abuck1220
    don't want to sound like a meatball, but feel free to run after the ball there fowler.
  14. abuck1220
    a guy with 5 hr in AA probably isn't the 2016 solution for a team with an offensive black hole at 1b.
  15. abuck1220
    i'm loving this weirdo's 12 post monologue that nobody is acknowledging.
  16. abuck1220
    would be hard to imagine a worse four game stretch than this.
  17. abuck1220
    pretty sure Ross is the final out in 75% of cub losses
  18. abuck1220
    why does the tulo/cargo/arenado combo bat every inning
  19. abuck1220
    imagine going into the 9th inning of the WC game up 1 run and this doofus trying to close it out.
  20. abuck1220
    yeah, i agree with that.
  21. abuck1220
    i''ve got a great thread on schwarber's framing going, why don't you post there.
  22. abuck1220
    can't wait for the new sophisticated baseball mind thing to be "well yeah, schwarber is hitting .350 with 35 hr, but his defensive footwork has cost the cubs 42,000 runs. but the casual fan might not notice stuff like that."
  23. abuck1220
    omg which is more punchable...that guy's face or his words?
  24. abuck1220
    lol jk who cares
  25. abuck1220
