Saw someone mention (maybe one of the BN guys?) that maybe it's to keep Mancini (relatively) sharp on defense for when Hosmer is inevitably cut loose and Mervis comes up. I guess the thinking is that maybe Mervis won't play as frequently as Hosmer has been? idk... -
what a play from Wisdom
-
Wisdom making up for that D

finally

pinch run for Torrens?

The Patrick Wisdom appreciation thread

with pretty good defense too -
Really like this feature. It's fun to follow the daily minor league threads, but putting the whole week together gives a good picture of overall performance

Chicago Bears Offseason Thread (the tank must payoff)
Rex Buckingham replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Other Sports
Carter is a big swing at 9. Knowing next to nothing about everyone else except Chase Brown, I think that would be an acceptable draft. Looks to add on OL and DL, decent look at a CB and WR, a RB who can produce... -
I'd rock a Pelicans hat

I understand they want Mervis to prove it a little more, and for Morel to get regular at-bats, but actively not having your best roster is so frustrating when it seems like they've got a decent team. Their lineup is a clear weakness, and they're keeping Torrens and Hosmer around and gave too many ABs to Mastrobuoni.

I wonder if this Jackson dude has options and he'll be heading to OKC after tonight
-
Seiya!
-
Happ is hitting as well tonight as Swanson is hitting poorly
-
Yeah, and they see that as a failure of the system, and yet it created some dang fun teams. There's just got to be a way to do it that doesn't incentivize putting a bad product on the field/court/ice

Every sport should go with the Gold Plan that awards points for each win post-elimination from the playoffs. Or a true random lottery of the teams who finish outside the playoffs.

just changed my name recently... but didn't post a whole lot previously. abmillis was my old name on here

Idk, I used the board without knowing about active topics for years, and have used active topics the past couple. I dont think the board is all that different in terms of navigation than it was before. I wonder if there are any users who didn't have their email updated and are having issues due to that.

With Happ and Suzuki locked in at the corners for the next 3 years after this one, and some of our best hitting prospects (PCA, Alcantara, Davis) also being OFs, does it make one or more of the prospects more available in a deal for a big bat at 1B or 3B? Or do we just assume at least one will bust and we will have 4 to play between the OF and DH? With Alcantara's 40-man status, might we see him be pushed a little more than "normal" if he performs well? Not sure what options are out there to pursue, but say Davis recovers his power and can be playable in CF, he's probably up at the end of this year, and if Alcantara is really good this year he can likely be in the mix next year. Who is out there at 3B or 1B that we would want to go get?

Ian Happ extension? Update: 3 years, $61M
Rex Buckingham replied to Rex Buckingham's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
-
Cerami doesn't do the "source" stuff much, so this seems promising. He was on the Hoerner news early. Could be interesting to see what a Happ extension looks like
-
I think the fact that they have so obviously prioritized run prevention in the infield makes it even more baffling that they broke camp with only 2 actual outfielders on the roster. Also, bizarre that this may not even be the craziest comeback over the Seattle Mariners at home when they were trailing 6-0 when the Cubs came to bat in the 3rd inning at Wrigley Field
-
Not sure if there were a lot of Wild fans in the building, or if the Chicago crowd has turned to cheering the tank, but it was loud (on the ESPN broadcast) after the tying and go-ahead goals for MIN
-
please, just drop Torrens, and no more Mancini in the outfield ever
-
Nico needs to make sure he gets an out there... our offense doesn't have the margin for those kind of errors
