  1. Time to cut Gould.
  2. Wow, what an awful call on 3rd down. No TD no FG, nothing.
  3. Just maybe you should cover Reed. He has only single handedly torched this defense all day.
  4. Fuller getting absolutely embarrassed.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. If the Cubs add Lucroy and Ross then this roster resembles an ASG roster more than a normal roster.
  9. 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.
  10. Heyward, a good lefty reliever and call it an offseason.
  11. He can't play CF normally, let alone CF where he has to make up ground for Soler and Schwarber.
  12. Same. The team has gotten significantly older, is paying twice as much and they may or may not be better.
  13. When healthy he's the 2nd best pitcher we've been linked to, behind only Carassco.
  14. 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.
  15. He still hasn't developed a third pitch. Teach him a Cutter and a splitter and he has top of the rotation potential.
  16. Sale would probably take Kris Bryant, so you can forget about that one. Kris Bryant is already more valuable than Sale by himself.
  17. 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.
  18. 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%
  19. The Rays don't have relievers where it could be anything other than a bad deal.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. Really going to be surprised if any of Urias,Seager or DeLeon get dealt. I'm guessing something like Grant Holmes and Jharel Cotton.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. 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.
