    And for less money

    Vlad's contact ability pales in comparison to the immortal Juan Pierre!!!!

    Let's just all give thanks in knowing this was the result of him attempting to tag Anthony Rizzo at the plate, and this is his penance for trying to stop the Cubs from steamrolling his dreams.

    Nationals are reportedly interested on acquiring Brandon Phillips. I'm sure Dusty has nothing to do with that at all.
  5. Clem Fandango
    You're 7,000,000 spots ahead of me.

    I hope not. I feel like like every year there's reports or people overvaluing him immensely like he's some sort of heralded talent. Even at his most hyped I still didn't think he was anything special Did anybody still think Jake Arrieta was an important prospect 2 years ago? No, because Jake Arrieta had thrown 300+ innings and wasn't a prospect.

    Ill buy them if he doesn't. For real.

    I'm 100% happy with where the team is at right now. If they stopped their offseason today I'd be the happiest I've been in the last 10 years with a Cubs offseason. But like others have stated they can still do SO much more. We've added four quality pieces and are now the #1 projected team in baseball by a fair margin without trading any prospects or youngsters (save for Castro, but the return was good). That's ridiculous. What's even more crazy is some of those coveted young players/prospects are now expendable and they could add even more talent if they wanted. And they absolutely should. There are so many options available I can't even pick a dream trade to play around with that I like more than another.

    Do people still think Casey Kelly is an important prospect?

    Theo, quick! Flip Jeimer for Bradley!

    Not that it makes a huge difference with that list, but Karns got traded to the Mariners earlier this offseason

    Kemp to the Padres made the Dodgers better and the Padres worse than the previous year. That's how bad Kemp is.
  16. Clem Fandango
    Well Kemp is hot garbage.

    Hmmm... Hypothetical: Soler package for Miller or Teheran (and/or others) Baez package for Odorizzi & McGee (and/or others) Trade Wood, Hammell, and Montero for salary relief and farm replenishing and/or bench strengthening Sign Heyward Sign Span How plausible is that? Is that even a good use of resources?
  18. Clem Fandango
    And Schwarber. And Baez. And more than that.

    I assume the outfield at Kauffman is a bit larger than Wrigley so perhaps the transition wont be all that difficult. I assume it also hinges on who they acquire for CF. Plus in an injury shortened year Gordon was still worth 2.8 fWAR. Unless he gets the yips I would fully expect a 3+ win season our of him at either corner. Plus Soler, despite his upside, has been somewhat babied because of his own injury history, which he was unable to avoid this season again on multiple occasions. In Soler injury shortened year he was worth 0.1 fWAR. I'm not necessarily advocating a trade of Soler or signing of Gordon, but I would totally understand if the FO went that direction and be fine with that decision for reasons IMB mentioned above.

    That's why I don't understand so many posters getting excited about Heyward or Gordon. I figure we have around $14 million after signing Lackey with a few more holes to fill, so I can't see Heyward/Gordon playing for a backloaded contract paying about $10 million next year. Also, I don't understand the closer rumors, unless it's part of a package deal getting a CF and/or SP also. Playing for a lower aav early in the contract probably doesn't mean much to the player if you meet their overall cost demands. Unless they're an egomaniac who demands to be the highest paid player at their position, as long as they sign that contract they're getting paid and probably will be open to being flexible to helping their team be successful early on to be in a better position to win, I would assume.

    Was he going to share the part that was creative?

    Sure, if he isn't gonna get pissy about not being a closer That's literally the only hang up I'd have on Storen. Don't wanna trade assets for a guy who isn't gonna be a team player if they don't want him to be a closer. That said, Washington really unfairly dicked him around that role his entire career there. I'd be pissed too considering the difference in being a closer of his abilities and a setup man of his abilities would probably be 10's of millions of dollars.
