    I have doubts that he's ready to stick at the major league level; he has a LOT of rust to work off. However, I like taking the chance. There's nothing at risk other than losing $25,000 if they return him. There's also always the chance of working out a trade to allow the Cubs to keep him but still send him down (as happened with Oakland a few years ago so the Cubs could send down a pitcher they drafted, I've blanked out on his name).

    Or Premium.

    Good pick, since there's nothing to risk other than $25,000 if he's returned. I'm especially interested in seeing him make it, since he's from very close to where I live now. I actually saw him in person once at a hair stylist, although I didn't know who he was at the time until after he left and the stylist pointed it out. He has a lot of missed time to catch up from, so I don't know how likely it is he'll stick, but I like taking the chance.

    At least I think they can wait until he's officially signed. My understanding is that he's agreed to terms, but not yet signed. It frequently takes a few days to complete the signing so the player can first undergo a physical.

    Yeah, right. That will never happen. :lol:

    It had better be a L-O-N-G homework assignment, then. :D

    He'd sell anything but his Krispy Kreme stock. (Sorry, I had to get in the act. :D )

    Money could really help the Cubs. He's fresh and well-rested. :D Man.... he's almost as old as you, eh?? :wink: His rookie year was the year I first started following the Cubs, the ill-fated 1969 season. I remember him from his days with the Phillies (the days of Wine and Rojas, as Harry liked to say).

    Surely you can't be serious. I am serious, and don't call me Shirley. Go out there and win just one for the Zipper.

    Actually, it's seven times: 1935, 1938, 1945, 1984, 1989, 1998, and 2003. [/nitpick] ..... and 1932 makes 8, no? To me, "since" 1932 means beginning 1933.

    I created a group for ESPN's bowl game prediction contest. Once the bowl matchups are finalized you pick the winner of each game, assigning confidence points for each game based on which picks you're most sure about. Although you can't make picks yet, you can enter. The group name is NSBB League, and the password is NSBB. I'll post another announcement once picks can begin.

    Could be; after all, he didn't specify PEORIA Chiefs. :D

    Politely disagree. He had terrible luck on balls in play in 2005, but he still ended up with pretty good numbers against right-handed pitchers. He'd make a nice platoon partner for Jacque. #-o [-( :shock: :?:

    Ultimately I think Grossman is the best option, but I think he could use one week off to regroup. I start Griese. If Grossman does start, I have him on a short leash. Lately he has been downright gross, man.

    I don't think Ryu missed nearly that much time. He got moved back in the system because of the bird incident, but I don't recall him missing anywhere near a full season due to injury.
  23. NCCubFan
    I think gambling on your team is inexcusable. It puts you in a position to make moves to win the game you bet on, even if it hurts the team in the long run (such as leaving a tired starter in too long because you distrust the bullpen).

    Interestingly, another former Cubs' catcher (albeit only for a cup of coffee).

    I see nobody else is posting about this anymore since I've taken a huge lead in the NSBB group. :D I'm now #144 nationally.
