    The horsefeathers.....Fangraphs has Christian Franklin #7 on the Cub farm and a 45 FV? Really losing any respect for a formally good website.
  2. Tryptamine
    Christian Franklin fine whatever, but Ronny Cruz too. Feels a tad rich.
  3. Tryptamine
    As long as he's one of 2 pitchers that's fine. If he's the only SP then that's super gross. Hopefully no one in the top 15 to 20 was given up.
  4. Tryptamine
    Beat me to it.

    Alcantara has never really gotten the proper love here. The can play above average defense at a premium position. He doesn't need to put up an .850 OPS to be very valuable. You get a CFer who can put up a .240/.310/.440 line and that's probably a 3.5 to 4 fWAR guy.

    That package is like one Rojas away from a possible Ryan or Gore package which would be quite a bit better ROI in my opinion.
  7. Tryptamine
    Your thinking is that Arizona is going to ask for a guy in Rojas who stands a pretty good chance being a top 30 prospect in the game once after season lists come out, or a top 50 prospect in Wiggins? I suggest you go back and find the last time a rental bat was moved for a return like that.
  8. Tryptamine
    If we're going the pure rental route I'll take Kelly, Castro, Bieber and Miller

    This is what is keeping me sane. None of the people the Cubs have been consistently mentioned with have gone off the board.
  10. Tryptamine
    I kind of wish the Cubs were in on this if this was all the cost.
  11. Tryptamine
    Damn their 3rd RP, someone poke Jed
  12. Tryptamine
    Yeah it's not like a drastic overpay or anything, but it is a guy who has legit mid rotation, maybe even higher upside. Personally I don't like catching prospects, but Tait is nice. The guy has been more or less a league average bat at age 18 in A+ while playing catcher and having respectable BB% and K%. For me at least, Tait all comes to if he can stay behind the plate because I'm not sure the bat is exciting enough to carry him at 1B or COF.
  13. Tryptamine
    This would be just a monumental overpay.
  14. Tryptamine
    They didn't get Painter but that's still a big haul.
  15. Tryptamine
    Meh, I don't think too much of Gilbert I think you maybe hope you can get a Mike Tauchmann out of him. Tidwell has significant control issues and not enough stuff that you can just overlook it. I think he's destined for the pen. In my eyes they were both guys who were going to fall down the rankings once the end of year reports come out.

    Supposedly the Twins are asking the Phillies for Painter in order to trade Duran which is absolute insanity to me. The guy was the #1 pitching prospect in the game pre TJS some have him a top 10 prospect in the game right now . I know he hasn't come back blowing people away, but he's fresh off TJS. Even with Duran being crazy good, hell no.
  17. Tryptamine
    He got absolutely destroyed a couple weeks ago for 10 hits and 6 ER in 3IP against the Yankees.
  18. Tryptamine
    Hot take, I found just about every character in that show unlikeable.
  19. Tryptamine
    How are you missing the point? I wasn't calling out Jed. I never mentioned Jed or the Cubs. It was a general point that things need to get moving MLB wide because it's boring when nothing happens until the last 12 hours.
  20. Tryptamine
    There's too many holes to address strictly through trade, they're going to have to bring some guys up and hope for the best.
  21. Tryptamine
    Must have missed the part where I said he was.
  22. Tryptamine
    Well, we're officially at the 48 hour mark, any time now would be great.
  23. Tryptamine
    That's right Ricketts. Actively work to alienate your fan base. The team that got nation wide popularity thanks to WGN will be shrinking their audience even more.
  24. Tryptamine
    And that's enough for me
  25. Tryptamine
    God he is yanking every pitch right now. His timing is way off.
