  1. If McDaniel is as aligned with Cubs thinking as some assume, looks like Pentecost may end up being the guy.
  2. anyone think there is something to this? http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=23608
  3. That is pretty much how the baseball world worked, and failed, for decades before smart people supposedly figured out better ways to do things. The age old "Scouts vs. some vague thing Kyle started saying" debate. No, the "people who have seen him play a weekend series say it is so" and "I read a vague quote about it 2 years ago and assume both that it was accurate and that it is still true". But Kyle isn't basing his argument off anything. He's just decided that he doesn't want Almora's defense to be good, so he's making that declaration. Even "saw him play a weekend series" is more valid than whatever Kyle is doing.
  4. Absolutely. Total hipster pick It was the 6th round and they need a punter. If they think he's good, who cares.
  5. Ugh, stupid need obsession ignoring value. One of my favorite annual traditions is your complaining in the Bears draft thread. Remember how much you hated the Alshon pick and just called him fat over and over? That was fun.

    Rizzo

    Only if we can swap Ricketts for Reinsdorf. I was gonna say only if we get Hahn and they get stuck with Epstein/Hoyer. Oh geez. If the situation were reversed you'd pine so hard after Epstein and Hoyer being just across town.
  7. Jay Cutler received the award on his behalf, I thought this quote was a bit awkwardly worked: Basically Josh hates his family. he's like my art professor in college who would never go home. http://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/really-tell-me-more.gif
  8. http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6ti30OzTb1qf426so4_250.gif I would have gone with http://s3-ec.buzzfed.com/static/enhanced/webdr06/2013/8/23/10/anigif_original-grid-image-7001-1377268156-6.gif

    That's truly fantastic stuff. Seriously, come around here more.

    Castro

    If he keeps getting on base 42% of the time he should definitely hit higher than that.
  11. You have to remember that the average person who would follow heyman on twitter probably isn't very tuned in to the draft. So this could be breaking news for many people. Which is fine. Aww man, let me have my fun. I'll allow it.

  13. Team control
  14. Pray tell why that is? Is it verboten to criticize "the process"? Of course not. But there's a difference between reasonable criticism and literally every post being doom and gloom, in every forum and thread. It's so tiresome by this point. Well at least you are literally pointing a realistic portrait of reality. I do think literally every post from Kyle is doombonering.

  16. With Rizzo's weird face, the Cubs could use some more good looking players.
  17. Which scenario would ultimately bring Kyle more joy? Scenario A: This front office fails to make the playoffs before 2019 and everyone gets fired Scenario B: The Cubs win the World Series in 2018 I have my guess.
  18. why the hell is that glorious?
  19. Hopefully this thread turns into a nuanced discussion about the plan and its timeline.
  20. Yes, I would be. I think he'll be fine but this start should for sure be something to worry about. It's 43 at bats. That's barely anything.
  21. Wait are people actually worried about Baez already?
