    He had some decent number in limited innings last year (15 IP). 8.4 K/9, nearly 55% GB rate, averaged 92.5 on his FB and topped out at ~95, looks like he's pretty much a FB and Cutter/Slider pitcher out of the pen. Apparently he ended the season on the DL with forearm tightness. So that bodes well. Also odds that he spends more than a week before hitting waivers again?

    Bautista going back to Toronto on a 2 year deal, it sounds like. Also, Saunders signing with the Phillies.

    He thought they said it was the Clubs Convention, so you can see his hesitancy to show up :lol:

    Still a fan of sending Sczcur and a couple prospects to the Phillies for at least one of their starters. They have like 5 near MLB ready starters not in their current rotation. Also not against bringing Wood back and also signing someone like Brett Anderson, CJ Wilson or Doug Fister as more depth. It's not sexy but it has potential.

    Looks like Trevor Cahill is signing with the Padres. He's from that area and they're gonna give him a shot to start.

    My mom ordered me a framed press plate of the Tribune cover. About 8 weeks later it finally showed up apparently. I'm pretty jazzed about it. Also, for people still wanting swag, Lids is having a pretty sweet 50% off apparel and 25% off novelties deal. Got myself one of the long sleeved shirts for like 8 bucks. Some of the hats are just $10 too, I think.

    [tweet] [/tweet] Yeah that was fast

    I still can't believe they gave Desmond 70 millions bucks to play first base.

    [tweet] [/tweet] DiPoto at it again. Don't know much about the prospects the M's gave up, but Smith is a nice OF addition and I've liked Simmons for some time now. Could be an impact late inning arm for them. EDIT: Now this [tweet] [/tweet]

    [tweet]https://twitter.com/JulieDiCaro/status/818532097656811520[/tweet] So I guess Sean Marshall at some point retired.

    I'm still a believer in Corey Black being a big strikeout guy in the pen someday.

    Joel Sherman on the Cubs' pursuit of Tyson Ross: http://nypost.com/2017/01/05/cubs-shopping-with-audacious-6-man-rotation-in-mind/ He says the Cubs could re-sign Wood if they miss out on Ross, but it sounds more like him guessing than any new reports. MLBTR also throws out a few (gross) names

    Full chat here: http://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/chicago-cubs-top-10-prospects-chat-2/#s0r2IerIwVMLPoBO.97 Some people in the organization think Eloy could be G. Stanton. Manuel also liked Matt Holliday as a comp to him.

    This is super random but I fell into a BR rabbit hole, and discovered that former Cub greats Justin Germano, Frankie de la Cruz and Ronny Cedeno played ball this year in the Italian Baseball League (which is also apparently a thing). Also, if you're wondering what Josh Vitters is up to, he is in the Atlantic League and had the 5th worst average in the league this year of qualified batters.
  16. Post Count Padder
    Pretty shocked Underwood isn't in there but Manuel just mentioned in the chat that's he isn't high on him.

    The Wintrust Wrigley Fly the W Bowl.

    Got a Javy Baez tee, the hoodie the team wore at the parade, a polo with the WS logo, a couple of the hats, a replica trophy and the Tribune commemorative book featuring the newspaper sports covers of the Cubs for the past 100 years (including the WS win covers). Also supposedly got the framed Tribune cover press plate but it didn't arrive in time for Christmas. There's a couple things that were on my list that I'm seeing if I can get cheap/on sale.

    Was the failure of Daniel Moskos injury related or a garden variety bust? From the way my Pirates fan friends talked about him, he seemed to be their Hayden Simpson. A reach who then had a bunch of injuries and ineffectiveness.
  20. Post Count Padder
    Good for the Indians. Got a legit power threat in that lineup. If Brantley and the rotation are healthy, they'll be right back in there again. Another aspect of this is the market should heat up again. A lot of free agents and teams were waiting for the next domino to fall.

    Actually I just feel stupid in picking Mussina over Clemens. I guess I'm part of the BBWAA.
  22. Post Count Padder
    Bagwell Bonds Guerrero Hoffman Edgar Martinez McGriff Mussina Raines Manny Pudge With Clemens, Sosa, Walker and Sheffield just missing for me.

    Cubs signed Elliot Soto to a minor league deal. He was previously in the system and traded to the Marlins for Dan Haren. Soto replaces Logan Watkins, who signed with the Tigers, In Iowa.
  24. Post Count Padder
    I have a feeling he ends up here on a minor league deal.
  25. Post Count Padder
    I wonder if Uehera was Plan B then? Doubt we would've signed both. The thing with that is we were connected to Uehara during the Winter Meetings and Ziegler just signed a few days ago. So either we were a "mystery team" a couple weeks ago or Theo and Jed want a super pen.
