    Nice Start Smyly
  2. Tryptamine
    Doing what they have to do to compete as a mid market team against major markets like San Diego
  3. Tryptamine
    Quality AB by Bellinger
  4. Tryptamine
    The vast majority of posts happen in that section, so getting rid of it would be a really bad idea
  5. Tryptamine
    Do we have to request access to the social forums now?

    I felt like they needed to come up with either a really good OL or DE in FA to really free them up to go after bpa in the draft. As things stand, I think the first 3 picks basically have to be OL and DL.
  7. Tryptamine
    Given what we're upgrading from, even a decent starter is a pretty substantial upgrade.
  8. Tryptamine
    Damn it. Really wanted him. 3/18 is what he got. Is poles aware he has money?
  9. Tryptamine
    Pocic is gone too. Would have been a great replacement at center.
  10. Tryptamine
    Sure looks like despite having the most fa money by far, Poles is going value shopping. Just doesn't make any sense.
  11. Tryptamine
    Still early, but what a disaster it would be if Poles completely whiffed on the OL market. Any positive feelings from the trade would be completely wiped out.
  12. Tryptamine
    Even if they're going OL at 9, they still need to add one impact lineman in FA.
  13. Tryptamine
    Must be nice to sign several mega stars like the big market Padres.
  14. Tryptamine
    that would be one of the most shocking trades I’ve ever seen, 2 additional 1st round picks and a 2nd to move up 1 spot in the draft when all they had to do was not convert 2 4th and super longs on the final drive of their last meaningless game and convert a 2 point conversion #2, #12 and a 2024 pick that might turn into Marvin Harrison Jr. I refuse to let myself even slightly believe something this good is possible.

    He's going to jump PCA in the rankings this year. In a system with a ton of depth and lots of solid to good but unspectacular prospects, Alcantara is the guy who has the ceiling to be a superstar. There are others with big ceilings, but no one with proximity to the majors and his ceiling.

    I heard something on the radio that you could bet the over/under of 5 seconds for how long the "brave" is sung in the star spangled banner before the game. Who sets the odds on this random crap?
  17. Tryptamine
    Remarkably terribly run organization. In a city where the McCaskeys and the Ricketts are owners and you're somehow worse than both.
  18. Tryptamine
    Really good list. Even the stuff I'd disagree on (e.g. I'd move Horton/Mervis up a grade and Triantos/Kilian/Herz each down a grade) is imminently reasonable. I feel like there's just far more logical consistency here than Law's or BA's rankings. As someone who was super high on Triantos going into 2022, I don't see a reasonable way to put him at 50FV and a top125 prospect. The defense is worse than I thought and the bat wasn't quite as advanced as I thought. I just don't see any world in which Davis is a lower ranked prospect than Triantos.
  19. Tryptamine
    Watch, the FO will slow play this and by the time they're ready to compete Fields will be on the last year of his rookie contract looking for an ungodly amount of money.
  20. Tryptamine
    A small bright spot in a channel filled with nothing but bad Dempster impersonations and Ricketts loving company men.
  21. Tryptamine
    I'm somewhat high on Busch, not that I think he's a star, but I think he's a solid bet to be a 110 to 115 wRC+ guy. If he sticks at 2B with non horrendous defense there's some all-star upside, but I think that's pretty unlikely. If he ends up in LF he's probably a solid everyday regular.
  22. Tryptamine
    Sadly BA has tanked along with a lot of other groups. BP is basically dead and FG is still my favorite but not where it was a few years ago. It would honestly be a great time for an upstart group to come up and make a name for themselves.
  23. Tryptamine
    The hottest of hot takes, so bad that you can't help but cringe as a fellow Chicago fan.

    NFL Playoffs

    Tryptamine replied to raw's topic in Other Sports

    So he sacrificed his marriage for 1 very marginal season. Not the direction I would have gone.
  25. Tryptamine
    79-81 is basically where I'm at. My bigger problem is that this is going to be one incredibly boring team to watch. No super exciting prospects, no mega stars, nothing to really get excited about until the 2nd half.
