    Atlanta's pitching is going to be insane. They stole Allard in last year's draft and if it's true that they have a hand shake deal with Kevin Maitan next year, they're on their way to a monster farm.
  2. Tryptamine
    Heyward, a good lefty reliever and call it an offseason.
  3. Tryptamine
    He can't play CF normally, let alone CF where he has to make up ground for Soler and Schwarber.
  4. Tryptamine
    Same. The team has gotten significantly older, is paying twice as much and they may or may not be better.
  5. Tryptamine
    When healthy he's the 2nd best pitcher we've been linked to, behind only Carassco.
  6. Tryptamine
    Archer,Moore,Cobb,Odorizzi,Smyly,Karns,Colome,Erasmo and Snell are all candidates for the rotation this year. They surely don't need to be 9 SP deep.
  7. Tryptamine
    He still hasn't developed a third pitch. Teach him a Cutter and a splitter and he has top of the rotation potential.
  8. Tryptamine
    Sale would probably take Kris Bryant, so you can forget about that one. Kris Bryant is already more valuable than Sale by himself.
  9. Tryptamine
    Marlin Bystro Blake Snell is a name with Tampa that is being forgotten here. I know the Cubs liked him in the past. McGee and Snell for Baez, I would be absolutely thrilled.
  10. Tryptamine
    What is this infatuation with Boxberger? He's not good. He had one great year in 2014 and has otherwise been poor. His 2015 peripherals are just bad. 4.26FIP 4.00xFIP 4.57BB/9 including a constantly high HR/FB%
  11. Tryptamine
    The Rays don't have relievers where it could be anything other than a bad deal.
  12. Tryptamine
    He said he doesn't want to start, but if we're talking hypothetically then no I wouldn't. The Cubs are trying to win a World Series and that's too much of a gamble.
  13. Tryptamine
    yeah if they didn't even have to part with Jose DeLeon, i'm prepared to be a little bit rankled about this trade The Cubs don't even have a prospect as good as DeLeon nor just about MLB ready.
  14. Tryptamine
    Really going to be surprised if any of Urias,Seager or DeLeon get dealt. I'm guessing something like Grant Holmes and Jharel Cotton.
  15. Tryptamine
    I don't think Span is a viable option without a very good back up CF, which I do not consider Szczur or Baez to be at this point.
  16. Tryptamine
    My first two thoughts were Britton and Chapman. Britton is due about 6.5M in arb this year and is under control for I believe 2 more years after that. He would take a significant piece to land though.
  17. Tryptamine
    If the return is Teheran or Miller I agree, but if we're talking Salazar or Carassco then I want the trade. what about one of the rosses I like Tyson quite a lot, but I'm still not sure I want to give up Javy for only 2 years in return. If a deal with Starlin and prospects could get it done then by all means. As far as his brother, I don't think the Nationals are realistically shopping him even with Giolito likely ready in 2017 and Fedde+Lopez the year after that. This becomes especially truly if Strasburg is moved before he hits FA next year.
  18. Tryptamine
    Yeah, it was a pretty memorable brawl in which Cueto was kicking people, and iirc, Molina was on the receiving end. That might make for an awkward battery. Jason LaRue? Suffered a concussion and retired shortly thereafter, as I recall. Yup, it was LaRue and Cueto pretty much ended his career.
  19. Tryptamine
    If the return is Teheran or Miller I agree, but if we're talking Salazar or Carassco then I want the trade.
  20. Tryptamine
    Um, are we really sure that Chen is even an upgrade? 4.16FIP and 4.01xFIP last year, even in his best year his peripherals weren't exactly thrilling(3.89FIP, 3.75xFIP,3.85 SIERA)
  21. Tryptamine
    Yeah, that's just too much coming off a 2015 like he had. I think he'll rebound, but I still prefer Lackey over 2 years.
  22. Tryptamine
    If I recall correctly, they were trying to get Taijuan Walker from SEA for Ozuna and didn't think Paxton was enough. That's a very high price tag.
  23. Tryptamine
    If the Cubs managed to steal Heyward, their offense would be in an even bigger hole. They pretty much have to land one of Chris Davis or Jason Heyward if they realistically want a shot at the division.
  24. Tryptamine
    Not particularly thrilled, but ok with this deal, as there were about half a dozen options I would have preferred including Iwakuma if we were going old man on short term deal route. If this deal allows the Cubs to go after Gordon or Heyward than that's awesome, however; if the Cubs still end up with Austin Jackson then I'm going to be more than a little pissed off.
  25. Tryptamine
    You're not getting out of that one without giving up one of Schwarber or Russell. 3 more years of control and last year wasn't a fluke. He was on that same 6.6fWAR pace in 2014 before injury.
