    This is the poll question on the Tribune website right now. Over 40% of idiots who voted said they wanted the Cubs to trade him. I keep hitting REFRESH

    In the accompanying chat, Kevin Goldstein had this to say: I agree with everything Aaron says about Castro offensively. Defense, not so much. I predict he'll be a third baseman during the last half of this ten year period, and the stolen bases will dwindle. I thought that was interesting given the variety of opinions on his defensive development. And Sutcliffe picked Shark at #26. what the hell Sutcliffe is a total meathead Cub fanboy. I [expletive] love him.

    its interesting. it suggests that the defensive player is independent of their position COMPLETELY. IT used to be, power @ 1b, 3b, RF, etc because thats where big guys could play. The Jays have an interesting take, albeit it could be off the deep end. i wonder how this will develop.

    Oh good idea! I'll do it later if someone doesn't beat me to it
  14. minnesotacubsfan
    yes/no. It could have been expanded, but it would have drastically changed the old portions of Soldier Field. Considering it was a Historical Landmark, they tried to compromise. I really think they did a nice job considering the restraints actually.
  15. minnesotacubsfan
    I actually love Soldier Field, but I'm an Architect and therefor severely disconnected with society when it comes to aesthetic appreciation of the built world. Phenomenological existence. thats right, I just archi-babbled you bitches.
  16. minnesotacubsfan
    I live the idea of Chicago hosting a super bowl for the reasons that we might get field turf and I think the SB could stand to have a few really awful weather stadiums to shake it up a bit. And besides, it's the freaking SB, no team or fan is going to say "yea, no thanks, I don't want to go to Chicago in Feb". But I really doubt the NFL would ever do it
  17. minnesotacubsfan
    The blog post wasnt all about Cashner
  18. minnesotacubsfan
    I really thought this image from that blog post was excellent and deserves more attention I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND WHY WE CANT WIN
  19. minnesotacubsfan
    help me out, what position has the worse contracts? he suggests qb's and o linemen http://gnightmoon2006.blogspot.com/2010/05/nfls-best-and-worst-contracts.html bleacher report says its mixed: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/789937-nfl-free-agency-2011-10-players-who-were-horribly-overpaid I realize the first is older, but it seems that any position can have a bad contract and in the nfl, the actual events of a bad contract is completely mixed among the positions. idk. The market is starting to say paying Forte what he wants is fairer and fairer every day.

    The last 3 SB winners have had below average OLs. The Steelers and Giants lines were particularly bad, bottom 1/5 of the league bad. I was mostly talking about offense. Those teams won because of defense as much as offense, even GB had a pretty good defensive year when the won. But ok, replace "decent line" with "otherworldly defense".
  21. minnesotacubsfan
    Running back by committee is what happens when you dont draft a stud RB, let's not kid ourselves. Using it as a strategy is a reaction to 1 or 2 teams success, and their success is predicated on their ability to draft talent at other positions (QB, WR, etc). Hell, you could even say WR by committee is the way to go when you look at teams like NYG or NO. What you need more then anything in the NFL is a stud QB, decent line, and intelligent OC. Beyond that, it doesn't matter where you spend the benjamins, including overspending (or perceivably overspending) on a RB
  22. minnesotacubsfan
    It shows a very recent trend.
  23. minnesotacubsfan
    I don't really understand why, considering perceivably, the actual value of a RB for any team isn't that high. But they have been getting paid of late.
  24. minnesotacubsfan
    The market for running backs is trending towards the deal Forte wants, right or wrong.
