    Theo and Hoyer brought him back to threaten Seal Boy's roster spot. Your move, Tommy.

    I remember you hyping him up. He got off to a good start to his career and then yeah that injury seemed to impact him a lot. Bummed about Sands too. So Steele is all that's left from that big group of HS arms.

    I met Kingery during ST a couple weeks ago. Signed my hat. Nice kid. A guy next to me asked him if he was excited to play with Arrieta (the signing had been announced a few minutes prior) and Kingery responded, "......is that a real thing that's happening?" And then grinned ear to ear. Never witnessed a fan break news about a team to that team's player before.

    Schwarber hits 89 home runs Rizzo and Bryant each hit 73 Darvish doesn't allow a run all season Hendricks starts wearing Maddux's jersey and wins 28 games Contreras hits a 750 foot homerun Javy tags Ryan Braun out so hard he explodes into coins like a Mario villain. Cubs win 140 games, win World Series, have the parade in Milwaukee to rub it in

    Hey maybe the Brewers will sign John Lackey.
  6. Post Count Padder
    An intriguing lefty but there wasn't a spot for him once they re-signed Duensing.

    I like Cobb, but is it kinda insane he got 4/60 and Lynn had to settle for a one year deal?

    I know nsbb has been around for awhile and this Meph guy sounds pretty crazy, but isn't this too "inside baseball" even for a baseball forum lol? You guys talk about this weirdo like war vets talk about Hitler or Stalin or Mussolini. I'm sure it's all warranted, but us younger posters have no idea who the horsefeathers you're talking about... Ever worked somewhere where your coworkers talked about some hack who worked there years ago and tell amusing stories about them? And they're still amusing even though you weren't there at the time?

    I was eyeing some Cubs stuff at the MLB shop since there's a sale and I don't know if I've encountered something as terrifying as this: http://www.mlbshop.com/Chicago_Cubs_Collectibles_And_Memorabilia/on_sale/yes/Chicago_Cubs_Clark_the_Cub_11_x_17_Minimalist_Mascot_Art_Poster

    Oh man, the Meph era. #memories I know this gets asked every so often but was he the one behind the anti-NSBB website?
  11. Post Count Padder
    I totally forgot about him being "untouchable". And that was like 3 years before we actually traded him as a throw-in. Dark times.
  12. Post Count Padder
    They save about $2 million. I'm guessing they put that toward in-season moves.
  13. Post Count Padder
    Not unsurprising. Last spot probably goes to Butler, since he's out of options. Maybe one of Simmons or Maples if Strop has to start the year on the DL. Best of luck to him. Carl's Jr all that's left from the Garza trade haul.

    Knew this was coming but still a bummer. What a Cubs tenure. I'm glad he's in Philly so I'll get to see him pitch. Kinda annoyed I missed him in Florida. I was at the Phillies game in Sarasota against the Orioles when it was announced. Place was freaking out. (side note: pitching for the Orioles was Cashner, which I for some reason found amusing).
  15. Post Count Padder
    Went to a few Grapefruit League games. And I got to meet former Cubs great Sam Fuld after the one game. He's apparently a Phillies asst. coach now.
  16. Post Count Padder
    Webster was also a rumored target from the Garza era. It's kinda amusing how many of those guys we still ended up with anyway and it was because their arms fell off and they were rehabbing (Webster, Hultzen, Casey Kelly, Jacob Turner).
  17. Post Count Padder
    Weren't we trying to get him for Garza at some point?
  18. Post Count Padder
    No Mekkes? And it's still crazy to see Underwood and Galindo on this list. Feels like they've been in the system forever. Probably says more about the system than it does about them.

    How does Roster Resource calculate their projections? Because it looks like we're gonna win 100 games easily if everybody hits like they predict: https://www.rosterresource.com/mlb-chicago-cubs/

    I know odorizzis name had come up here a few times and most people were against the idea, but if I recall it was mostly because they didn't want to give up what they assumed Tampa would want for him, which was probably way more than what he was worth. But I don't think anything here would've been opposed to acquiring him for one prospect at the back end of our top 30. Yeah they basically just traded him for Zach Short, right? I remember like a year ago there were thoughts the Rays wanted an Almora or Cease.
  22. Post Count Padder
    What are the Rays doing? That's all they got for Odorizzi? And basically replacing Dickerson with Cron?

    Haahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha /breathes hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

    Gotta give the Orioles credit, they've managed to stay mostly competitive while being inept at building a steady rotation for several years.
