    9 was the highest I saw him go in any mock so I can't imagine he's looking over slot. I'd throw 2.75 at him.
  2. Tryptamine
    Really liked that pick for the Phillies, thought they would take Stephenson
  3. Tryptamine
    I'm just so underwhelmed by the rest of the available players that I'd roll the dice on Allard or Aiken.
  4. Tryptamine
    Well, so much for pitchers.
  5. Tryptamine
    I'd be shocked if it wasn't.
  6. Tryptamine
    best case scenario is Fulmer to the Sox, then Benintendi will slide to the Cubs.
  7. Tryptamine
    Wow, I never even heard them linked to Jay at any point.
  8. Tryptamine
    Saving money to take Daz with their comp pick? That has been the rumor for their 37th pick.
  9. Tryptamine
    Please please Minnesota talke Kolby Allard or Daz. If they do one of Benintendi,Fulmeror Jay are there for the Cubs.
  10. Tryptamine
    First surprise of the draft for me.
  11. Tryptamine
    5, will it be Benintendi or will it be Daz? I think Benintendi.
  12. Tryptamine
    Thinking it's going to be Dillon Tate at 4.
  13. Tryptamine
    If Allard or Daz doens't get into the top 8, he's going to be the best talent available.
  14. Tryptamine
    I've got Bregman to the Stros at 2 and Benintendi to them at 5.
  15. Tryptamine
    Good for ARI, they didn't do anything dumb and took the guy they should have.
  16. Tryptamine
    Will this be the year that Reynolds compares a player to a player that isn't the same race?
  17. Tryptamine
    We need one of Allard or Daz to go in the top 8. If they do, the Cubs should be able to land a real interesting player.

    Shohei Otani at 23 is pretty bad seeing as he probably won't play in the bigs until 2020. Maybe I'm wrong, but I consider Otani a vastly superior prospect anyways. He's a better prospect than Darvish was at this point as well. I think he'd be the unanimous #1 prospect in the game right now.

    Jesus, you listen to the announcers for this LAD/STL Sunday night game and you'd think the Cubs were just 10 games behind the Cards and Pirates with no hope going forward instead of a team on pace for 88 wins despite the bats having yet to wake up.
  20. Tryptamine
    Building up that leverage.
  21. Tryptamine
    I can envision a scenario where Tucker makes it to us. With that said, if Allard's medicals look good then I'd love to take him at #9
  22. Tryptamine
    This team is an offensive train wreck. Wasn't power supposed to be one of the team's strengths?
  23. Tryptamine
    Can we please just DFA Wood and be done with it? Guy has just been awful outside of a year he was blessed by the babip and hr/fb gods.
  24. Tryptamine
    Sure I think the Cubs would say Yes to a young, top-notch center fielder... Mike Trout, sure? You know, the funny thing is that Anthony is on pace for 7.6fWAR this year and signed for the next 5 years at an annual average of 7M. That changes to 7 years and 9.14M annually if the Cubs pick up his 2021 and 2022 options. Mike Trout, on the other hand, is on pace for 9.3fWAR, but is signed for 6 years, through 2020, at an average of 23.35M annually. Would I still make the trade? Probably, but It's a hell of a lot closer then I would have imagined a year ago.

    Darren O'day is one of thew few I'd interested in that's likely to be available.He hasn't had an ERA over 2.28 since 2011. I'd also be kind of interested in Ubaldo. He is pretty much the single most volatile pitcher in the game, but he's back to being good (3.25FIP 8.58K/9) after being god awful in 2014 (4.67FIP 5.53BB/9). He is signed through 2017 and his contract isn't huge, 12.25M in '15, 13M in '16, 13.5M in '17. Dollar for dollar I don't think you're going to be able to get anymore upside than that.
