    Thinking it's going to be Dillon Tate at 4.
  2. Tryptamine
    If Allard or Daz doens't get into the top 8, he's going to be the best talent available.
  3. Tryptamine
    I've got Bregman to the Stros at 2 and Benintendi to them at 5.
  4. Tryptamine
    Good for ARI, they didn't do anything dumb and took the guy they should have.
  5. Tryptamine
    Will this be the year that Reynolds compares a player to a player that isn't the same race?
  6. 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.
  9. Tryptamine
    Building up that leverage.
  10. 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
  11. Tryptamine
    This team is an offensive train wreck. Wasn't power supposed to be one of the team's strengths?
  12. 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.

    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.
  15. Tryptamine
    Tex scored 15 runs on 19 hits. The White Sox pitching was just god awful.
  16. Tryptamine
    That's a completely inexcusable mistake.
  17. Tryptamine
    Of [expletive] course, the pitching version of a fake rally.
  18. Tryptamine
    Ross, wtf was that?
  19. Tryptamine
    If they overturn that than I give up on this replay system.
  20. Tryptamine
    So basically Mooney knows nothing about the draft.
  21. Tryptamine
    3B in the NL is unbelievable. I can't fathom Nolan Arenado not making the ASG with a .919OPS, .387wOBA to go along with 13HR. I'm similarly shocked that Joc is 10th in outfielder votes despite a .949OPS, .402woBA, and 15HRs. He's on pace for nearly a 7fWAR season and I don't even know if he's going to get a vote in option.
  22. Tryptamine
    Yeah, [expletive], we could all get hit by a [expletive] meteor. That's a possibility too. That's all I'm getting out of this article as well. Anything could happen at anytime and therefore I can write about how someone is going to be traded because there's a .00001% possibility that it's true.
  23. Tryptamine
    Even of Jay doesn't go at 1.3, it sounds like he's the top guy on the White Sox' draft board and high on the Red Sox' board. Looks like some wacky stuff would have to happen for Jay to available at 1.9. Yeah, it's about 0% he's there at 9,Benintendi is about best case scenario at this point. If things pan out as I expect it's going to be a choice between Daz/Happ/Clark/Harris/Whitley. Would be nice if Allard's medicals looked good, because I like him a lot more than I like any of the aforementioned group.
  24. Tryptamine
    The amount of enthusiasm for Turner, not necessarily just here, but on PSD as well, is really confusing. Yeah his peripherals suggest he should be decent, but how many years does he need to get batted around until we say he's not good? I mean we have a perfectly viable #5 in Wada.
  25. Tryptamine
    My Understanding is that the Astros want bats. I'd expect one of Rodgers or Bregman at #2 and one of Cameron/Benintendi/Tucker at 5. Unfortunately, I think Jay is headed to Colorado.
