    Another way to do this would be make it a salary cap thing. That way you don’t need to break all the positions down and could be your tiers how they are now just denote the position a guy qualified for in what you currently have. Everyone gets say up to $1,000 SouthPaw bucks to spend on their team and can’t exceed (except for substitutes in season?) then Tier A players cost $150-200, Tier B $75-100, Tier C $50-75, Tier D $25-50 (rough guesses on what the value should be) and maybe your WC doesn’t count towards your payroll?

    My two guesses are they didn't think the guys would 100% buy in/adapt to the approach and lose their Donging ways but more blend it with their Dongs and have a super approach and also in that article Chili mentioned pitchers "pitching away from launch angles" or something. Maybe they thought pitchers would correct faster against the launch angle revolution and get ahead of it with an approach Chili ball would have the offense ahead of the curve vs the league? Either way it was a horsefeathers up and they failed and am glad they admitted it and moved on.

    The only thing surprising is they don’t have more 100 MPH batted balls that have gone for outs vs this charmed team brewers fans would have so much fun with your posts if they could see them http://31.media.tumblr.com/46d0fdd1c355d033df03964071b69b1d/tumblr_mw68wkVAOj1s89mq8o1_500.gif

    We could tier it by position (idk exactly how you'd determine the cutoffs, maybe top ~6 in HRs at each position?) but you could only pick say 2 players from tier A for 2 positions of your choice, 3 from tier B for 3 positions of your choice then the rest of you lineup/positions needs to be on tier C or lower players? Still could allow for 1 WC pick too for a position.

    Go horsefeathers yourself Grandal you piece of garbage. He’s throwing the series, I’m pretty sure

    Guessing we will hear about a few additons and departures this offseason. We have the first official departure
  8. Cubswin11
    Dodgers have hit 4 balls over 100 mph. 0-4 on them. Not surprising. The only thing surprising is they don’t have more 100 MPH batted balls that have gone for outs vs this charmed team

    I don’t know if this is actually legal or how it would be accounted for by MLB (maybe they wouldn’t view it as a new deal but a continuation of his current deal and the current LT hit applies for the next 2 years and only the third year would be accounted as a new deal when that comes?) but if this move is possible it’s a pretty easy way to cut a few million off the LT hit. Guys who know the LT/CBA better chime in. Lester has 2/47.5 guaranteed left ($22.5 in 19, $15 in 20 and a $10 mil buyout/$25 option in 21). His LT hit is $27.5 (6/155 + $10 mil buyout). The idea/proposal is...... What if we signed Lester to new a 3/55-60 deal, this cuts ~$8 mil off the cap hit this year, it gives Lester another year and nets him another ~$10 million. Would this be viewed as a new deal? Or would it be viewed as a continuation of his current one and we don’t get the LT discount???? If it’s allowed it’s a win for everyone, imo. We don’t come a ton more out of pocket than we already have to, Lester gets another year and more money guaranteed, we save a pretty significant amount in LT hit this year.

    You can't pass up trading almost your whole MLB outfield for a guy who pitched 90 total innings this year in MiLB (all in AA) and missed time with a forearm injury when the opportunity presents itself.
  18. Cubswin11
    75%? McKenzie’s probably ML ready late 2019 or early 2020 if that helps he's a young rail thin pitcher (he's thinner than CARL EDWARDS JR unbelievably) and we'd be running out an OF of Heyward (missed time with injuries) Harper (missed time with injuries) Zobrist (old AF) and .... maybe we could get szcur back. please just stop with this stupid video game horsefeathers you do please Hey man, they're throwing in Lenny Torres and all 15 innings of rookie ball he's ever thrown too.

    I like this

    Harper - Heyward/Someone - Castellanos Should add that Castellanos is mostly about adding a RH bat coming off a ~.350 wOBA over the past three years in his 20’s for pretty cheap. Getting him out of the infield full time may help mitigate some of the damage on defense Frees up Schwarber for a cheap SP, Almora/Happ for a cost controlled reliever, etc I'm assuming Schwarber or Happ would be needed to trade for Castellanos? I'm not overly against the idea. Schwarber for him makes some sense for both teams.
  21. Cubswin11
    Where would he play? He’s atrocious on defense. I suppose we could trade for him and dump him in the middle of Lake Michigan for knocking Braun’s ball over the wall.

    Nice hustle, Manny

    That was weird. I would've waited a couple more innings to see if it turned into a blowout. But I guess they won by 1 so it worked. If the Brewers sweep, this approach will work. Like our series vs the Indians, when we won game 5, the series was over. I see the same thing happening to Milwaukee. Jeffress and Knebel looked shaky. Yeah, hopefully the Dodgers can get this tied up going back to LA and win one of the first 2 there making this go at least 6.
