2011 Cubs picks and signings thread
Bruno7481 replied to imb's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Law has been sticking to that for a while now on Maples. He is obviously hearing things too. At least we will have an answer soon. -
Again, none of that flew with Bradley. It's not going to fly here. Zambrano is going to be ripped to shreds, but so is Quade, Hendry and the rest of the organization. I dont know you may be right, and if so hopefully its just another step out the door for Hendry. Wasn't the Z deal relatively praised at the time? That is the inherent risk you take with all contracts. Sometimes what seems to be a good deal turns out to be the exact opposite.

His trade value is nonexistant.
-
What a bizarre response. Well, it is a convenient way to tear up that contract.

Hendry:

Whatever they say isn't going to make things any worse at this point. They say some idiotic stuff, but hard not to when they are continually fed this type of crap on a silver platter. It's hard not to? Really? Hard not to comment on Zambrano and the incidents he's been involved with?
-
The team is bad, no matter who the manager is. I don't see how Q commenting on the situation is somehow his way of trying to escape blame for the season. What do you want him to say?

Q Quotes

The key is not to read their columns or listen to them. What would be wrong with them doing so? Zambrano has become a clown, and he deserves whatever he gets at this point.

Sullivan: "Z cleans out locker. Tells trainer he's retired."
-
Via Twitter: Z walks out on team. Cleans out locker before end of game. Said to have talked of retiring. Q fuming

The act is getting old

If he had a Lilly like ceiling, that would be absolutely amazing. I don't think he is on that level though. -
Yeah, that was a pretty ignorant statement. Well, what do you guys want to see these final two months? The wins and losses will be mostly meaningless (besides potential draft position impact). Are you looking for improvement in certain players? Or, just ready for the offseason?
-
So....are you excited for the last two months of this season?

The 2012 Cubs in all probability won't be that good. The Cubs have the fortune of playing in one of the weaker division in baseball, but it will take more than that. The good thing is that there is money coming off the books (I'm starting to sound like Hendry), but the Cubs will still have some declining and unproductive deadweight on this team. Hopefully they can make some good signings and other acquisitions that might start the effort of righting the ship. I wouldn't expect super improvement though with obvious holes. 1B? 2B? Barney's job? 3B? New Ramirez deal? LF Ugh RF Who? It is badly constructed team at the moment and might be for a bit longer.

Olney's Twitter: If you are sitting by your computer wanting to see what moves the Cubs make, I suggest finding something else to do.

While not a huge fan of McCarver, I've read a few things about Castro moving off of SS as he fills out. BP has said it a lot. By the way, this team is an absolute embarrassment.

Furbush for Fister
Bruno7481 replied to Cubs Fan Dan's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I like this deal for Detroit. Two young pitchers who are under team control for quite a while. Fister should take a huge leap now that he is with a team that can score. -

What is the scoop on Yao-Lin Wang? Throwing the ball pretty well tonight for Boise and has been all year. -
If you get the flags, sure. If you don't, however, then when that 3 year window closes, you're looking at either floundering for a while as you rebuild your farm system or being like the Cubs in the Hendry era and filling every roster spot with FAs and loading up way too many contracts to win with any consistency. The Phillies have had much more than a 3 year window. They have been good for a while. I have my doubts on Pence, but I love how they go and get exactly what they want. These prospects are not guaranteed commodities. Being able to recognize that and turn them into proven young production makes sense.
-
Flags fly forever. I dont think it's wrong to go for it like they have. Wish the Cubs were doing the same thing.

I wonder if Pittsburgh would be interested in reacquiring Ramirez?
