    And he's done for the night because his thigh got tight. I don't even want him on the court anymore, he's nothing but a distraction.

    Is there any team in the league who would even touch Rose's contract? Just give him away for expiring contracts.

    I just wonder if it could get done straight up. If so, then I prefer Grandal to Susac. Wouldn't you rather have the years of control on Susac? I feel like Grandal has quite a bit more offensive upside, but then again his spike in K rate and decline in his defense is cause for worry.

    The rumor was the Cubs didn't like the medicals.
  6. Tryptamine
    What about a Susac for Valbuena deal? I can't really find anything on Susac's framing ability in numbers but I know everyone he's ever worked with has raved about him. I'd be all for this deal.

    There were some Cespedes to Seattle for Iwakuma rumors a week or so ago, but nothing all that solid.

    You're further along than me...even in resignation I'm hoping for Shields + McCarthy/Liriano I don't even really want Shields that bad. He's so very, very old. I just want the FO to show that they care even the slightest bit about winning at the major league level. Thus far they have not done that.

    Is that what our payroll would be if all we signed is 1-2 middle tier arms like Masterson and maybe a backup catcher? Right now we can put together a 25 man roster with about 66 million. Make it closer to 60 if you decide to non-tender Wood. So that's your baseline to add any spending to. Excellent, that means we can sign about 15M in players and still be competing with TB,FLA and PITT for the second lowest payroll in baseball. Fantastic.

    You'd have to think one of Betts or Bogaerts is on their way to Philly if this Sandoval move is legit right?
  11. Tryptamine
    I don't understand why they would sign both unless they're giving up on Xander Bogaerts. Even if Hanley went to the OF it doesn't make sense as they already have a huge traffic jam in Rusney Castillo, Betts,Victorino,Cespedes, etc.

    What i wouldn't give for a coach who wants to step on the other team's throat rather than try and eek by every week. There is no way in hell you see the Patriot's or Denver running out the clock up 11 with 10 minutes to go in the game
  13. Tryptamine
    Back to the stupid conservative offense.
  14. Tryptamine
    Throw the ball down the field you [expletive] morons.
  15. Tryptamine
    TB is allowing 27.9 points per game and we're going to struggle to put up 10 today aren't we?
  16. Tryptamine
    There we go, the crippling penalty that ruins this drive.
  17. Tryptamine
    Trying to force the issue deep isn't the way to attack this defense It seems to work for every other team when they play Tampa seeing as they have the 4th worst pass defense in football and 5th highest pass yards per attempt. Regardless, it's not just this week, it's a season long refusal to properly utilize the weapons.
  18. Tryptamine
    Has any coach ever been more afraid to use his offensive weapons? Absolutely ridiculous to have all this talent and live on passes <10 yards.
  19. Tryptamine
    Chicago is going through some kind of [expletive] up Stockholm Syndrome with how many people I've heard saying they want Lovie over Trestman. It's amazing how many people were content to go 8-8 or 9-7 year after year. Now obviously Trestman isn't the answer, but Lovie certainly wasn't it either.
  20. Tryptamine
    It takes a special kind of bad to make TB's defense look this good.
  21. Tryptamine
    A climbing K rate that is starting to enter Javy territory and one foul tip away from retirement. I'll pass on that.

    http://cdn.firstwefeast.com/assets/2013/12/ezgif-save.gif This has got R.Kelly home video written all over it.
  23. Tryptamine
    Of course they are. Guy wont even get 100ABs as Rizzo's back up and can't play OF anymore thanks to his knee surgeries. Between Swisher and Gomes, Theo is just determined to shove some old veteran club house guy down our throats.
  24. Tryptamine
    The Marlins are going to have a higher payroll this year than the Cubs aren't they?
  25. Tryptamine
    For reference, Montero's Steamer projection is .252/.338/.391 in 130 games, 3.1 fWAR Why don't we just cut Almora and at least save some money in the process. Giving up real prospects for Montero would just be awful.
