Random Offseason Musings and Rumors
Post Count Padder replied to Cubswin11's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Mariners get Danny Valencia from the A's for former Cubs prospect Paul Blackburn. -
The Rockies wouldn't make that trade. And that would not be good trade for us with the Mariners. I wouldn't mind Cecil on a reasonable 2 year deal. Or Blanco on that deal. We definitely are trading Szczur. I feel like if we bring back Fowler, we trade Soler as well and utilize Almora as the backup at all three outfield spots.

Random Offseason Musings and Rumors
Post Count Padder replied to Cubswin11's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Phillies get Howie Kendrick for Darin Ruf (a prospect Sandberg ruined) and Darnell Sweeney (a guy the Dodgers traded for Utley). He's slated to continue playing the outfield though the Phillies are rumored to be entertaining offers for Cesar Hernandez. -
http://memedad.com/memes/651101.jpg Assuming health, the Rays will have Archer, Smyly, Cobb, Snell, Andriese, Odorizzi, and Erasmo Ramirez, with Schultz, Guerrieri, and Honeywell knocking on the door. Also Smyly did make 30 starts this year.
-
I honestly keep wondering if we're destined to deal with the Rays. Something has to give on their glut of starters. Would something like Soler, Jeimer and one of Sands/Stinnett/Kellogg be not enough for Colome and one of Odorizzi/Smyly/Andriese?
-
Kinda curious, what's been the wait time on online orders? Been eyeing up stuff on the usual places (Lids, MLB dot com, Fansedge, etc) but I'm curious if I ordered now if it would arrive next week or in a month. Also has anyone ordered one of the press plates from the Tribune?
-
I'm kinda hoping for laughs that the top 3 finalists for the CY are Arrieta, Lester and Hendricks. Gonna be Scherzer in there, though.

http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/17973532/chicago-cubs-catcher-miguel-montero-critical-manager-joe-maddon-role-team-postseason I'm sure winning the World Series takes the sting out of being benched because you're the third worst catcher on the team, but it doesn't seem to make sense to keep him anyway at his salary next year. Think they trade him for a lottery ticket prospect and sign or acquire another vet catcher? I do believe Geovany Soto is a free agent........

Cubs decline Hammel's option
Post Count Padder replied to Transmogrified Tiger's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Well, darn. Nice thing for Theo to do, I guess. Weak market, he'll get a 3-4 year deal from someone. -
I forgot we ever had Aaron Crow, let alone thought of him as an option next year. Speaking of guys you forgot about, don't we also have Zac Rosscup coming back?
-
Thata fair. My thought was because the option is cheap and the market is thin we could get a decent return and I figured they'd want Montgomery I'm the rotation. Just for fun, what would a package with the Rays for Kiermeyer and Colombe or one of their non Archer starters look like?
-
Soler, Underwood and Steele or Sands for Cain and Davis. Who says no? Also is miggy coming back as backup catcher for that much money? And what about trading Hammel for a reliever after picking up his option and using Montgomery as the 5th starter and Zastryzny in a long relief role? Or signing Kurt Vonnegut as someone previously mentioned. I assume Cahill and Wood and Chapman aren't returning. Just spitballing here.

Guys. We did it. I have been a member of this forum for 13 years and a fan of much longer and this place has been incredible. You guys are all wonderful. We did did it. We horsefeathering did it. I love you all.

THE CUBS ARE 2016 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS!
Post Count Padder replied to raw's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I still can't believe it. Tears in my eyes. -
Chris Coghlan to Cubs for Mendy; LaStella to DL

We just traded Collmenter to the Braves for cash. We hardly knew ye.
-
Voigelbach is getting called up today. Will make his MLB debut. He hit 240/.404/.422 with the M's AAA club.
-
Such sad news. I obviously didn't know Fred nearly as well as many of you but he always made the game threads amusing and he is one of the posters I always associated closely with this site. He seemed like a good man and he will definitely be missed.
-
Wow, there have been some truly terrible players to wear No. 9. Thank you for reminding me Jake Fox was a thing.
-
Also, Clayton Richard has a 1.15 ERA in 31 innings since going back to San Diego.
-
In 45 innings since the end of April, Zach Britton has allowed 1 ER (that's a 0.20 ERA). Brad Miller has 26 home runs despite never hitting more than 15 in a season in the minors. Ryan Howard has 56 hits this season, 20 have been home runs. The MLB leaders in wins are Rick Porcello and JA Happ. Some ex-Cubs fun: Blake Parker is getting late-inning chances with the Yankees now. Darwin Barney somehow has a 1.9 bWAR and a 1.3 fWAR. Chris Rusin somehow has a 1.5 bWAR and a 1.3 fWAR

Cubs add Chapman for Torres, et al. imb wishes we paid more
Post Count Padder replied to David's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Of course Adam Warren figured his horsefeathers out again and has thrown 9 scoreless innings since the trade. -
In case you were wondering how he is doing [tweet] [/tweet]
-
This reminds me of the Cahill signing last year, in that a guy with past success signed in a low-risk/high(ish) reward scenario.
-
Rumblings that Matt Duffy is in the deal to the Rays for Moore. Rays bracing for life after Longoria?
