  1. Who should we be hoping for at 43 and 56, other than obvious overslots like Smoral?
  2. With Baker, Pena, Zambrano, Dempster, and R. Johnson coming off the books, there should be a lot of spare money. That is about 40 million freeing up, in addition to the flexibility that we already have. While arbitration raises will eat some of this money up, there should be enough room to add 2 premium free agents. C-Soto /Castillo 1B-Rizzo/LaHair 2B-Barney/Cardenas SS-Castro/Barney 3B-Stewart/Vitters LF-Jackson/LaHair CF-Upton/Jackson/Campana RF-DeJesus/Campana I might be crazy, but that is not bad of an offense. The defense should be phenomenal at pretty much every position. I see plus defense at C, 1B, 2B, and LF for sure. SS, 3B, CF, and RF all could be. Optimistically, there could be plus defense at every single position. Rizzo is supposed to be a good defender, no? SP-Garza SP-A. Sanchez/Hamels/Grienke SP-Samardzija SP-Dempster SP-Wood/Volstad/Maholm If we could get Dempster back on a cheap deal, that is a damn strong 1-4. One of Wood, Volstad, or Maholm should definitely be serviceable in the last spot. I have enough faith in Theo and Jed to be able to put together a bullpen that I am not even going to try. Throw in some more luck, Upton and a premium SP, and some continued development, the 2013 roster should be good enough to compete for a playoff spot. There is certainly a lot of room for projection on that roster.
  3. I'm guessing we are trying and hoping for Correa to fall, but that we will take Almora if Correa doesn't.
  4. LeBron: triple teamed NSBB: how could LeBron pass?
  5. If we don't sign the #6 pick, we lose that slot value from our allotment.
  6. And only the ones who are good enough to be the best player on the team
  7. Even pretending that this is true, what a shitty reason to trade a cheap 22 year old.
  8. If this was directed at me, I might not have made my point clear. I was trying to show backtobanks that just because we could have a top 10 minor league system by the end of this year doesn't mean we didn't have a bottom 5 organizational talent at the end of last year. I actually agree with pretty much everything you said.
  9. If we sell off almost all of our major league talent, sign a top 25-50 prospect, and have a good draft, then hey we could be in the top third of baseball in one part of our organization!
  10. Hendry is not blameless for the injuries to Wood and Prior
  11. If everybody in our pool was available to play and healthy, who would you guys put out as your starting XI?
  12. That was a sweet move from Johnson
  13. 3 minutes. 4 fouls. +6.
  14. Eh, I wouldn't count on Rich Cho to screw up for the Bobcats
  15. I can't believe that I am doing so well, considering I have had Carlos Quentin all year and he hasn't even played a game yet.
