    Is it after Round 1 of the draft or after the draft completes that no compensation would be tied to Kimbrel? Because seeing him pitch next week for us would be pretty cool.
  2. Post Count Padder
    Now those are names I haven't heard in awhile. I still think it's wild Enrique Wilson had a .638 career OPS but had a .867 OPS against Pedro during his best years.
  3. Post Count Padder
    Those mid-90s teams were a blast.
  4. Post Count Padder
    Surprising but I like it. Our outfield depth is not very good and he can still hit a bit. I also didn't realize he's still just 33. Would've sworn he was like 36-37.
  5. Post Count Padder
    Not sure why this was the best option for a bench bat but here we are. I guess it goes along with Maddon's comments that they dont want a young guy called up and not get playing time. Adduci was a Cubs minor leaguer from 2007-2012 and now finally gets a shot in a Cubs uniform.
  6. Post Count Padder
    If we give up Amaya and Hoerner for a reliever, I think I'm done.
  7. Post Count Padder
    Yeah, while I like some of the depth we have and the intriguing guys in Iowa, none of them should be relied heavily on. I had no clue that we'd be giving major innings to Kyle Ryan, Tim Collins and Allen Webster. We need to address this sooner rather than later.
  8. Post Count Padder
    I'd rather give Norwood, Wick, Mills, Mekkes, Clifton a shot before Collins again. And I guess Rosario is dead now. As much as I like Maples, we need a little stability in the pen now and he could very well walk every batter he faces in his next outing.
  9. Post Count Padder
    Happ? Mills? Someone being DFA'd and someone not on the 40 man coming up?
  10. Post Count Padder
    Yeah so are we just gonna wait two weeks and sign Kimbrel? Because we really should do something about this pen.
  11. Post Count Padder
    Rowan Wick getting called up. He's pitched very well in AAA. Xavier Cedeno to the IL with I'm going to assume a phantom injury.
  12. Post Count Padder
    Kyle Ryan has been really good this year, save for the most recent appearance or two. Also, you were saying about Cedeno?
  13. Post Count Padder
    I don't think he's stupid. Everything he's done points to him being a sociopath. Regardless, he should be playing second base on the moon or something. There is literally no good reason to keep him on this roster. It's not even a personnel thing. We have Bote and Descalso. Happ is in Iowa (and so are Short and Machado and Adames and Giambrone and ...). There's several players on other rosters or are unsigned that would be adequate. It just makes no sense. Those comments from after the game are just even more proof. The front office may be hoping to get something for him like the Jays did with Osuna but it would be better to just outright release him.
  14. Post Count Padder
    What's Brendan Little's deal? Is he injured? Or is he starting at Eugene? (which would be disappointing).
  15. Post Count Padder
    Yeah Allen Webster's days are numbered. I'd like to see some guys in Iowa like Mekkes, Mills or Wick but I wouldn't mind an established piece either. Intrigued by Barraclaugh as a cheaper option if the Nats keep sucking. Also liked Tony Watson on the Giants awhile. Maybe a Melancon for Chatwood deal could be struck.
  16. Post Count Padder
    And just as you say that:
  17. Post Count Padder
    Seriously, he's on track to be activated as early as Friday. Is there a chance we never see him in a Cubs uniform again? I'm really hoping we just release him or some team decimated by injuries buys that he's "reformed" and gives us something.
  18. Post Count Padder
    Who'd have thought the Cubs would be the ones making it hard to like the Cubs?
  19. Post Count Padder
    I'm still mad as hell we included him in that trade.
  20. Post Count Padder
    The Rangers and the Cubs making more deals:
  21. Post Count Padder
    I was waiting for him to retire and become Iowa's manager or something. It shocked me to learn he is somehow just 29.
  22. Post Count Padder
    It would be great if we could win a game without someone getting hurt. Davis should be fine for a handful of games but we really need more depth. Anything resembling an acceptable backup catcher left on the market?
  23. Post Count Padder
    Tseng released. I'm sure he'll end up somewhere on a bad team in need of innings. Had long hoped he'd be Hendricks-lite.
  24. Post Count Padder
    Hey, 3 years, $15 mil is a steal!
  25. Post Count Padder
    He had nowhere to play on this team, at the time his defense was pretty awful, and we traded him for a decent swingman who also CLOSED OUT GAME 7 OF OUR WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONSHIP.
