    I also didn't realize the 40 man was full but the obvious move is a Rucker DFA. He's given us some good innings but he's nothing special and probably would pass through waivers.

    Man those Hendry drafts for a few years were brutal. 2005 and 2010 were garbage both at the time and in hindsight. It's also insane to me that in the 2002 draft, the Cubs had 4 first round picks and 8 picks in the first three rounds and just ONE of those players made the majors (8 mediocre games pitched from Billy Petrick).

    That's a great deal. Living in Philly I got see Neris with the Phillies plenty. He's got good stuff and the results to show it. Always thought he flew under the radar, even when he was closing. Gives the Cubs a nice late inning arm that didn't break the bank (which is important for PTR).

    Carl's Jr is back! We're getting the band back together.

    I wouldn't do that. Hurts our pen and I'm not high on France. I also think Ben Brown ends up better than Woo.

    My wife worked for a cancer nonprofit and says the one he has is one of the worst to get. I'm hoping he can pull through. Ryno is always one of my favorites. I also wore No. 23 playing ball as a kid. A few years ago I got back into card collecting and sending to athletes through the mail. Sandberg signed and returned to me in like a week. I'll cherish it forever. I still have his Topps rookie card I bought when I was like 10 with all my allowance money.

    Maybe it's Stockholm Syndrome but I'm starting to be ok with the idea of 3B being Madrigal and Wisdom with a side of Busch. Maybe upgrade at the trade deadline depending on how things are looking.

    The Cubs have had success dumpster diving for relievers over the years. Merryweather and Leiter are two big recent finds. You can even point to guys like Hector Rondon and Cahill and Duensing. And relivers can be volatile. So I don't love the idea of allocating a ton of money for the pen but we need another shutdown guy after how badly winded the pen looked in September. Robertson and/or Moore would be good gets.

    The Cajun Connection with him and Theriot. Fun times. Always liked him. Part of a run of decent utility players/fan favorites.

    I like the idea of trading with the Marlins. Does Triantos, Mervis, Caissie for Puk and Edward Cabrera do anything? I like the idea of Ben Brown, Assad and Wicks battling for the 5th starter spot but we need an injection of velocity into the rotation badly.

    Stephenson signed a 3 year deal with the Angels, which feels really stupid. They're not going anywhere.
  12. Post Count Padder
    I know we've cooled on him but Mervis still should hold value. I've been wondering if there's a way we could swing a deal with him for a controllable reliever like a James Karinchak. Is that too unreasonable? Not necessarily a one-for-one.

    This is a wild trade. Ferris was probably my favorite pitching prospect in the system and I'm pretty bummed. Busch is a great prospect but now we have two bat-first guys without a position? I hope this doesn't lead to a Morel trade just for the sake of it. I'm still digesting all this.
  14. Post Count Padder
    He was nicknamed Little Pedro! That was rather unfair. I was annoyed when we traded him for some shlub.
  15. Post Count Padder
    I think most if not all of us remember 2004: Prior, Wood, Zambrano, Maddux, Clement. That was the best rotation in my life. At least on paper.
  16. Post Count Padder
    Before the terms get confirmed, what are we thinking? 5 years $110 mil? More? Can't imagine it's less.
  17. Post Count Padder
    IT'S HAPPENING
  18. Post Count Padder
    Red Sox sign Giolito, 2 years and $38 mil.
  19. Post Count Padder
    I know they need pitching but I really want Wicks to win a spot in the rotation. Heck can maybe even piggyback him and either Assad or Wesneski. Especially if we go with a 6 man rotation. Also I'm still really holding out hope that Keegan can still be a guy.
  20. Post Count Padder
    I absolutely loved Bellhorn back in the day for whatever reason. I still collect his trading cards whenever I see them. And his 2 homer inning is one of my favorite trivia busters.
  21. Post Count Padder
    I don't think Burger is much of an upgrade over what we already have in Morel and Wisdom. Unless they prove me otherwise they seem to be content with WisMadriBuoni at 3rd again.
  22. Post Count Padder
    Can we trick the Marlins into thinking Matt Mervis is really good?
  23. Post Count Padder
    Can I interest you all in a lightly used Frankie Montas or Jakub Junis? How about a nice James Paxton?
  24. Post Count Padder
    We did a thing! All kidding aside, that's pretty decent insurance for Iowa. He's been solid if unspectacular in the past.
  25. Post Count Padder
    I wonder if this takes them out of Bellinger sweepstakes.
