  1. @BruceMiles2112 Bruce Miles #Cubs Hendry says no fire sale
  2. Sure, lets pay a guy to hit in the .260s, OPS in the .800s and hit 20-25 HRs to play in Baltimore while we platoon Tony Campana and Lou Montanez. There's always the chance we get a Brett Jackson callup. And, honestly, we're not going anywhere this season. Would be better to shed payroll and nab a few prospects. Soriano can still hit a bit, but that would give us a lot of relief in the next few years. And it would be better to trade him while he still has some value.
  3. We have our winner. Close the thread.
  4. 30 in this non steroid era is ancient. They should be lucky to get back brett gardner or ryan theriot clone. Gardner- .271/.360/.378, dWAR of 1.9 and 1.6 the last two years Theriot- .285/.348/.356, dWAR of -1.5 for his career Wouldn't exactly call them clones. Gardner at least walks a ton and is a decent fielder. And we do have to be realistic. Teams might get desperate at the deadline, but I can't see anyone trading their top prospect for Z. A nice package of second-tier prospects would be more likely.
  5. Ricketts probably just said that for now. PR move. If the Cubs keep tanking, I can see changes this offseason.

  7. There's no reason to feel that way. People make all sorts of one liner posts. The ones that take heat are the ones like "only the Cubs". Ahem, look at me. I'm a board regular and when have I ever contributed anything worthwhile? I always thought you had a stake in Rotoworld considering how much you linked to them. If only.
  8. Good. Maybe Quade will get smart and start platooning DeWitt and Baker at second so we don't have a one-dimensional hitter at the top of our lineup all the time.
  9. Talk about a quick fall from grace. He looked like he'd be an ace a couple years ago. What happened? Arm troubles?
  10. Cafardo is usually pretty good, but I feel like this is just his speculating. There are no concrete facts here. Though I would love an overhaul; we're due for one. As respected and well liked by his peers as Hendry is, his decision-making with the payroll we have has been mediocre.

  12. Better than some Cuban kid no one's heard of
  13. Meh, wasn't who I wanted, but I like what I've heard. And he'd be nice at third if Vitters fails to develop.
  14. Is Springer the best we can hope for now? I really don't want Lindor.
  15. MLB.com streaming live Great, thanks. Though on second though, maybe I don't wanna watch it for fear I may punch a hole in my computer screen after we pick.
  16. Anyone know if there's a live feed or will it just be on the MLB Network?
  17. Agreed. This rumor makes me wanna vomit. I know Wilken has a decent history and is well-respected. But this is such a good, deep draft. We can't blow this.
  18. The Yankees are "desperate" for a lefty reliever, according to Joel Sherman of the NY Post. Let's let them take Grabow off our hands. That would be a good start.
  19. I noticed it too. The team sucks, and people have lives outside of the internet. I guess that's the simple reason.
