    The Cubs cannot quit Ben Cowles.

    I absolutely love Ian Happ and some people need to get over themselves.

    Fangraphs talked to Ben Brown about his new two-seamer. Seems like it's looking good so far. He said he learned it from Clay Holmes in the offseason. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/ben-brown-pitch-designed-a-sinker-over-the-offseason

    Kinda feels like Conforto and McCormick are gonna make the team barring injury or they look downright awful the next few weeks. McCormick can play all three OF spots and has a plus glove, in addition to the options mentioned above. Conforto has some power and a higher offensive floor than Carlson right now but Carlson is a good option to have in Iowa unless he has an Opening Day opt out.

    The Conforto deal makes a little more sense now in terms of bench power but he's never played first base. Even if he and McCormick both make the roster I'd guess some combination of Shaw/Bregman/Mo relieve Busch on days off?

    Every time one of these threads comes up.

    20 years later I'll never forgive him. It's not unrealistic that we could've been better with a fully healthy Lee those next couple years, as the injury sapped his power a bit and he probably could've hit 400+ homers. At least that's how teenage me remembers it.
  8. Post Count Padder
    He's been terrible for the last two years. I prefer McCormick as an option, who has also been bad for two years but at least has a decent floor as a good fielder.
  9. Post Count Padder
    Double post.
  10. Post Count Padder
    Damn that Opening Day lineup is bleak!
  11. Post Count Padder
    Solid B for me. I think If we had added more infield depth and a closer type for the pen, I'd have given an A. But overall I like what we did. I feel better about the team this spring than I did last year.
  12. Post Count Padder
    And Ben Cowles goes to the Blue Jays.
  13. Post Count Padder
    He sucks
  14. Post Count Padder
    That's basically nothing, depending on the incentives.
  15. Post Count Padder
    I still remember him being terrible so I guess I wasn't paying attention the last 3 years. Not a bad gamble for next year.
  16. Post Count Padder
    Ok yeah thing is if it's not Gallen then no other SP on the market is better than what we have. And between Alcantara, Carlson, McCormick I'm feeling ok about 4th OF. Now if they got a RF/DH type big bat that's another story but I don't know who fits that bill.
  17. Post Count Padder
    I didn't hear/read. What did they say?
  18. Post Count Padder
    He's cooked. He hit well here but that's awhile ago now. There's a good chance Mo puts up a higher OPS and WAR this year.
  19. Post Count Padder
    Well that takes the Orioles out of the Gallen sweepstakes.
  20. Post Count Padder
    More Iowa depth. He hasn't pitched in the majors since 2023 because of injuries.

    It's not a dig, for years we've gotten blurry photos of the backfields or just players working out at ST. Feels like tradition. Thanks for sharing!
  23. Post Count Padder
    Verlander back to the Tigers. Easily the best rotation in baseball? Casey Mize is now their 5th starter.
  24. Post Count Padder
    Yes! Blurry photo szn is here!
