Going to be hard to get motivated and learn all the names when the Cubs may even end picking until the second round.

What would you do with Schwarber/Soler? Trade one? Trade them both for Stanton. I might get railed for it, but I wouldn't make that trade unless MIA was willing to eat one hell of a lot of money. You should be, Stanton is the man. Guy was on pace for 60 HRs last year. Guy is also making a stupid amount of money. You realize that you could have Strasburg/Soler/Schwarber in 2017 instead of just Stanton, right?

SFG has had a really good offseason. Not sure if FGs agrees or not, but they're pretty clearly the #2 team in the NL right now.

What would you do with Schwarber/Soler? Trade one? You'd have to find someone who would give you good value for Soler, so any kind of move would kind of hinge on being able to do that.

With the seeming lack of market for hitters this offseason, does Fowler come back to the Cubs? We know they offered him a 2 year deal this offseason but he wanted more years. With guys like Gordon,Cespedes and Upton struggling to get 4 or 5 year deals, things can't be looking good for Fowler. I'd take him on a one year deal where he can't be offered a QO in 2017.

Brendan Ryan was never going to be on the active roster, so it has as much bearing on Baez as releasing Olmos did earlier. Well as of right now the only people capable of playing SS are Baez and Russell.
-
Safe to say Baez isn't going anywhere anymore.

With Glasnow,Taillon and Bell likely to join their roster anywhere from opening day to the trade deadline, this seems like a foolish thought. Deciding to wait on those guys and see how they contribute rather than devote resources to filling the glaring MLB holes that they'll, at varying points, attempt to fill with those guys is exactly where the "semi-punt" part comes in. At least, that's where I think he was going. I just don't like it because I think they're 2 moves from a top 3 team in the NL. They're like one Kazmir away from a very good rotation of Cole/Liriano/Kazmir/Glasnow/Niese and offense of 1B:Bell 2B:Kang SS:Mercer 3B:Harrison C:Cervelli RF:Polanco CF:McCutchen LF:Marte that's a SS or 3B away from a 90-95 win team.

No stats to back it up, but he seems to absolutely destroy the Cubs each and every time they play. Hopefully it's just Blackmon.

I really don't think he's any better than the options STL already has. The one thing he does bring is an ability to eat innings and the others like Cooeny,Gonzales, etc don't have. -
Far more worried about the defense than the bat. He's going to mash.
-
From MLBTR: After adding Todd Frazier, Bruce Levine of CBS Chicago wonders if the White Sox will grab another big bat off of the free agent market. Justin Upton and Yoenis Cespedes are potential targets for Chicago, but Alex Gordon makes the most sense for the White Sox, in Levine’s estimation. If you add one of these three, suddenly the WS are looking pretty good. That would certainly solidify the offense to go with Sale, Quintana, and Rodon in the rotation. Even if they add another bat, I still don't think they're better than MIN/KC and I'd put them just on par with CLE.

http://www.sfgate.com/sports/article/Jose-Canseco-wants-to-nuke-Mars-6697303.php I'm just going to assume he stole this idea word for word because I don't like the thought of Canseco being intelligent enough to come up with this crazy plan.
-
They now have 6 pitchers who will be MLB ready in 2016 but no rotation spots for them. Urias,De Leon,Cotton,Anderson,Lee and Montas. That is an enormous amount of value sitting in AAA/AA waiting for a space to open.
-
The package the Dodgers got is so much better. Why were the Dodgers even involved unless the Reds absolutely had to have Peraza? If that's the case they're an even more laughable organization than I thought.
-
Congratulations Cincy, you now have a CF and a 2B who could steal 50+ bases but unfortunately neither of them can hit.
-
Time to cut Gould.
-
Wow, what an awful call on 3rd down. No TD no FG, nothing.
-
Just maybe you should cover Reed. He has only single handedly torched this defense all day.
-
Fuller getting absolutely embarrassed.
-
This is the 2014 Bears. They're out their to pick up a paycheck and otherwise couldn't give the slightest [expletive] about putting any effort in.
-
Looks like the Bears decided the season wasn't worth playing for after the loss to the 49ers. Wonderful coverage by Fuller on 3 and 12. Nearly as impressive as 5 Bears being unable to tackle Jordan Reed.

2017 FA has no one of value other than Strasburg and Carlos Gomez so I'd prefer hang onto the youngsters and farm as trade bait should Theo need to make a move at the deadline or in winter 2017.
