    I'm starting to think 120 losses might be optimistic with this team over a full year.
  2. Tryptamine
    I think I'd have to be convinced that this team isn't worse than the 2012 squad
  3. Tryptamine
    I figured 5th pick was the best case scenario, but this team has got me dreaming even bigger.

    Am I ok with calling "someone" out for racism? Yes. Obviously. Who exactly was the victim here? While not directly named, there was a fan accused of repeatedly shouting a racist term at a player. There are videos of that fan, and people can figure out who he is. While perhaps a bit odd that he was so intent on getting a mascot's attention, he didn't deserve to be labeled a racist. Again, get the facts straight before issuing public statements. I'd virtually guarantee he has been identified by internet nuts and I'm sure, even after he was proven innocent, that he's being threatened and harassed.

    this is pretty good overall but i still kinda hate how uninspiring 1B/DH remains; have to think you can aim a little higher on potential there..with likely DH, Josh Bell becomes a good target or maybe Luke Voit Anthony Rizzo idk I kind of like the idea of Mancini if you trade for him and extend him at like 3/45. I don't think he'd take much to acquire and while he's bad in the outfield, he's ok defensively at 1B and you can expect him to give you a 115-120 wRC+.

    Let's go Cubs, sneak into a top 8 draft pick.

    The return is looking promising, but I'm still pissed that the FO had their hand forced into trading Yu simply because the Ricketts wanted to shed payroll. The circumstances definitely suck, but it's starting to look like a really strong return and with Darvish starting to trend down I don't think we'd get as much value anymore.

    Hmm, this is getting me actually interested in watching a few games this season: same with the Bears and Fields. The Blackhawks are still dead to me.

    I had completely forgotten about it until today, but the Cubs still have no GM right? It's just Hoyer as president and 3 others as Asst GMs, correct? I wonder when the last time a team went a full season without a GM happened.
  10. Tryptamine
    Every day that passes I feel better and better about the Darvish trade.
  11. Tryptamine
    how/what did he hurt? Shoulder surgery.
  12. Tryptamine
    Yes but they have 5-6 guys in the 100-150 range.
  13. Tryptamine
    who? PCA the prospect.
  14. Tryptamine
    I'm bummed he's hurt, but without that injury he isn't available. He would have safely been a top 100 guy.
  15. Tryptamine
    Yeah I think we're getting thrown off by the outdated fv and prospect rank. One article said they'd put him at 40, maybe even 45. At 45 that would greatly alter the perception of this trade.
  16. Tryptamine
    My first reaction was this is awful, but what is going on with Kilian? How can he be absolutely destroying A+ and AA, but barely be a top 30 guy. He has struck out 96 guys in 84 2/3 while walking 9. We're lacking some kind of information.
  17. Tryptamine
    Not a big Bart fan, but big on Harrison. Same with Matos. Luciano not available.
  18. Tryptamine
    This had better be huge. If Jared Kelly is the headliner I will vomit.
  19. Tryptamine
    This could be a disaster
  20. Tryptamine
    That's an absolutely huge haul for Berrios. Hoyer needs to make Kyle available.
  21. Tryptamine
    [pre][/pre] It's not just here. Basically every baseball message board I visit has slowed down drastically from where it was before the pandemic.
  22. Tryptamine
    Abrams, Hassell, Gore, Campusano
  23. Tryptamine
    I'd assume a haul from SD in that scenario, but right now I'm so pessimistic I just assume Horner is bad at baseball, is there more to him then I'm aware of? Is he wife beater? Is his contract an albatross? just a total meathead. lots of small stuff over the years. hates analytics, is/was one of SD's last guys to get vaccinated, etc. If he comes with Hassell who cares?
  24. Tryptamine
    Absolutely filthy stuff, but no idea where it's going. Giant upside.
  25. Tryptamine
    2016 feels so long ago. Just constant gut punch after gut punch since.
