  1. the throwbacks are phenomenal. i would also be in favor of t-shirts with a bar sponsor, as long as someone wears #69.
  2. if hes healthy hes about as good as i expect to do in the 5 slot next year.
  3. theres no reason that the cubs cannot experience a shift in focus and culture AND still field a team with a shot at the NL central next year. it will only take a few moves, some of which may be expensive in the short term but they wont handcuff us for the future.
  4. omg i laughed my ass off in the car tonight, thanks to pat hughes as Getz came to the plate in the 9th... "you know the old baseball adage about how a guy makes a great defensive play to end an inning and then leads off the next inning? that doesnt really apply here" lmfao
  5. i agree he is getting better and i also agree with the comments about his footwork and fundamentals. they are correctable. i know starlin is listed at 6-0 190 but he looks a little taller than that to me, and he definitely put on some pounds since last summer. i have no idea what his workout regimen is like so hopefully it is good weight but he seems decidedly slower on the basepaths to me. DJ has shown zero power in the minors thus far. not that starlin was dropping bombs with regularity, but moreso than DJ. i think DJ looks very fluid in the field which is typically a good sign of athleticism. again, these are my unprofessional observations.
  6. i havent seen the numbers...whats his range look like statistically? i think he already looks much bigger and somewhat slower than last year. people can really put on mass quickly (good and bad) from ages 20-24 so i guess we will see what happens. people seem to be reasonably high on lemahieu but i suspect that starlins power potential is much higher than his.
  7. id like to see him pack on some more pounds and play 3B. i believe he will eventually be a 20 HR guy and i dont see his range staying good enough to remain at SS if he continues to fill out.
  8. i like this lineup in an unrelated story, i also like drugs
  9. wait a sec...has DJ ever played 1B? ever?
  10. algonquin IL- providing me with great stats, and JOHNNY MORAN!
  11. seriously, bakers splits are reaching absurd status
  12. Can we see the picture? this
  13. Silva doesnt strike as the type that would want to play when he gets the same check for sitting on his ass.
  14. good things happen...hits one up the shaft, and no one catches it
  15. perhaps silva should have got off his fat ass during the offseason and lost about 40 pounds and come into camp prepared to compete
  16. Barney will find a way to do whatever is necessary to play and win. ive watched him play for a year and a half here in DSM and i love the kid. i want him starting, because good things tend to happen when he is playing.
  17. do we need a 5th OF with Baker on the roster?
  18. Can't you say that about every team? Because isn't the main reason a rotation doesn't eat up innings is health? yes...but our guys all have a good track record of it. it wasnt so much an "if we can stay healthy" but more of a "if history has shown us anything"
  19. if healthy, our rotation is going to eat up some major innings this year.
  20. isnt junior lake pretty much as highly regarded as Lee? isnt it a moot point if castro stays at SS?
  21. is there a website I can use to find out if todays (and future) games will be blacked out in the Des Moines market due to WCIU holding the broadcast rights? Des Moines is considered a local market for the cubs, sox, twins, royals, cards, and brewers, yet there is no way for me to get WCIU here.
  22. as long as we are throwing around ideas- with Z, demp, lilly, and harden all nursing minor injuries, do we use a 6-man rotation for awhile when they are all back?
