  1. Pirates also locked up Marte to a 6-year extension worth $31 million
  2. Yeah, the White Sox system is garbage, but for whatever reason Hawk went on the record as saying that they have one of the most elite farm systems in all of baseball while proclaiming that they've been "the talk of the town" or some such [expletive] because he heard like one dude say they like their system, I'm sure.
  3. It's gonna be hard to do with all that elite talent in the WS organization that's all the rage in Arizona
  4. Cubs win 89 games and sneak into the second wild card. Travel to Washington for the WC game, which we win 5-3 after Javier Baez hits a 3-run homer in the top of the ninth. Then get swept 3-0 by the Cardinals in the NLDS without ever holding a lead. While leaving at least 13 runners on base each game, and our pitching staff being dominated by NLDS MVP Daniel Descalso
  5. Really? You challenge Baez with Alfaro? http://i.imgur.com/x8tCMTt.gif
  6. Why would that make you nervous, exactly?
  7. His mechanics look so awful by today's standards.
  8. Complete guesses: Pujols, Cabrera, Ichiro? EDIT: Damn, close. Now I'm gonna be digging through stats all night, lol. EDIT #2: Not all night. Found him.
  9. Maybe that's why the balls explode off of his bat. Golf clap? Golf clap. http://reactiongifs.me/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Men-at-work-Golf-Clap-Short-Charlie-Sheen-and-Emilio-Estevez.gif

  11. That too, I suppose.
  12. Villanueva's been optioned to AAA as well. I think Olt's on the roster, regardless if he's starting. I think if he's not starting, it's because they're still gonna build his shoulder strength up through drills and practice while giving him late inning work and keeping his bat available off the bench.

  14. I still maintain that Andrus contract is awful
  15. I made a massive trade a couple of years ago (2012) in my keeper league that included him in the haul I got. Deal was... I send: Albert Pujols Cliff Lee Martin Prado I receive: Brett Lawrie Jacob Turner A.J. Cole Trevor Cahill Trevor Bauer Javier Baez None of them are on my team anymore as I traded them all away or released them. Except Baez. He's not going anywhere.
  16. I was at the game :(
  17. That sorta should've happened last year but our bullpen was [expletive] terrible. It truly, truly was. It was ridiculous how many late inning collapses they had at the beginning of the season last year
  18. Whether or not Olt gets traded, even if he succeeds, hinges heavily on two things, IMO 1) Whether the FO likes Villanueva more and he's capable of taking over and being a suitable replacement. 2) How badly we need to add more starting pitching to our rotation/upper minors. Obviously you want to keep Olt if he fulfills his potential, but if you have someone who can replace him and you have a glaring need elsewhere, he becomes a very valuable trade piece. If Olt succeeds, though, I personally would want the Cubs to lock him up and make him part of the core.
  19. Cubs.com has updated stats And I agree. Barney has no place being in the starting lineup. Defensive replacement? Sure. That's about it. He's basically John McDonald at this point.
  20. Or really angry that someone stole all his funny home videos
  21. Olt HR: http://m.mlb.com/video/v31649565/chcoak-olt-hits-a-solo-shot-in-the-eighth/?query=olt
