    Kinda surprised Stock made it through but that's a fun extra depth option.

    Really too bad for Underwood. Hoping he gets a chance elsewhere and does well. Honestly wouldn't be shocked if Maples was next to go off the 40 man. Dude's been in the system for nearly a decade.

    Re-organizing the bullpen chairs

    It's really not a big deal in the end, but it annoys me that we just let Ervin go and his spot is probably going to Maybin. I think Ervin would've handled that spot better. Honestly still prefer having both of them to giving a few million to Marisnick but whatever.

    Yeah this is fine with me. If he's willing to hang in AAA for a bit then that's cool. Surprised he signed somewhere with no clear path to playing time, let alone on the MLB roster but I like the depth. Also Maybin is still just 33 and I don't understand.

    Like others have said, he was trash last year but incredible in 2019. Solid buy-low guy. I like the Phillies but it seems like they've messed with a lot of guys the past few years so we'll see what happens.

    Carlos Santana who can stay behind the plate would be incredible.
  8. Post Count Padder
    Honestly rather go with him and/or Matt Duffy/Giambrone as the extra infielder over Sogard. He's just not that good. Reminds me of Aaron Miles, which still haunts me.

    We watched David Robertson's session. I like him as a bounce back candidate.

    I would take back MVP vote getter Ryan Tepera.

    I assume this does mean a six man rotation. Gonna need innings and the shortened season definitely effed with some guys. So yeah looking at Hendricks, Davies, Jake, Mills, Williams, Alzolay and when those guys need a rest Miller and Abbott come into play. Maybe Shelby Miller.
  12. Post Count Padder
    Yeah I don't know how much more we're gonna get out of Maples. He was a nice story but now he's just taking up space. Maybe he figures it out elsewhere. Alcantara or Vargas would make sense too. They're just dime a dozen backup infielders.
  13. Post Count Padder
    Yeah I'm exciting about this for mostly nostalgic reasons. I don't think he has much left but we need somewhat reliable starters.
  14. Post Count Padder
    Wasn't Neuse a top prospect? Seems like they're giving up on him for a middle reliever.

    Bleacher Nation/Bryan Smith did their Top 40 ranking. Not gonna list it all here, the latest article of the top 10 has all the links: https://www.bleachernation.com/cubs/2021/02/11/the-2021-bn-top-ten-cubs-prospects-the-run-up-to-davis/ 10. Abbott 9. Strumpf 8. Franklin 7. Hernandez 6. Jensen 5. Howard 4. Alzolay 3. Amaya 2. Marquez 1. Davis
  16. Post Count Padder
    JD Davis isn't that great. He's a terrible defender and is streaky. Really hope we wouldn't try to get him as KB's replacement. I'd assume Jeff McNeil is off the table.
  17. Post Count Padder
    Brock Holt signing with the Rangers. The middle infielder market has dried up quickly.
  18. Post Count Padder
    I mean, it's fine. I don't see how he's that much better than Almora for more money. Ervin can't play CF, right? I guess that's part of the reasoning behind this signing. I suppose it's possible this pushes Ervin off the roster.

    Garcia and Heim are young catchers, kind of a wash. Acker was the A's 4th rounder in 2020.

    Interesting change of scenery trade

    So we're not getting him, which is fine. I keep going to back to what someone said about trying to trade for Adam Frazier and one of Kuhl/Brault and it makes too much sense. Can deal a spare part like Norwood and a couple of prospects we won't miss.
