It was nice to let Bryce have one more moment in Washington
-
That was like when Todd Frazier and his brother cheated in the derby

Bryce is hitting 50+ Dongs in Wrigley next year

Who’s more Lahair, Fat Max or Fat Jesus??

Criag Edwards seems to follow the same line of logic the majority of those guys have over on that VBs board. And by line of logic I mean totally delusional, living in outer space view point of their team.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 7-16-18
Cubswin11 replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
So we drafted Mookie Betts (Nico) and Benintendi (Roederer). Nice -
Didn't we do this vs the Twins a few weeks ago?
-
Verlander gave up 4 Dongs today. He might need to find that Astros secret sauce over the break
-
I liked Kirby Yates as a target and even more now after seeing him pitch after last night. We should take him back with us after the trip to SD. Would think he wouldn’t take more than like Underwood and Short.
-
Oh, we won!
-
They can have him. Just go trade for Rivera or Maldonado or someone.
-
Pretty sure Rizzo uses that walk-up song, or at least did in the past. Harper is mind-fvcking Riz about replacing Bryzzo as the best BFF relationship on the Cubs next year....savage. Must be why Anthony is in a slump. He did/does and I think he’s like legit friends with Eldridge. Eldridge is a big cubs fan too and has done the anthem/stretch
-
Let’s say Happ was blocked and never came up last year and was still down this year or just came up this year. I think we can assume he’d be putting up great numbers in AAA with positional versatility and a switch hitter, he would be like a top 7-12 prospect in baseball right now if he qualified, right? I know it’s not the case and the dreaming of a prospect potential has worn off with him but he’s still just 23.
-
I do wonder if a 3 team trade would be possible if the Mets want more prospecty dudes. Maybe Almora and some stuff to the Marlins for a good prospect which goes to the Mets, Happ and some prospects from us as well to the Mets and DeGrom and Maybin to us. Almora is the local kid coming home and Jeets gets his Jeets.
-
I’d kindly go tell the Mets to go horsefeathers themseleves then if those 2+ a few non Amaya prospects didn’t get it done.
-
This is my thinking as well. Bote seems to be able to replace Happ within reason and this might be Almora’s peak year which is plenty fine but a 2-3 WAR OF isn’t that hard to find/replace (like I mentioned Maybin as an in season replacement). I also am just not a huge fan of Almora’s profile long term in terms of ever being much more than a 2-3 WAR player. Plus it opens things up for Bryce in the OF in the offseason and doesn’t make a Happ/Almora trade a forced trade in the offseason. Then you maybe also look to add a bench bat that’s RHH and capabale or playing CF in the offseason. Does Happ even start in the Mets outfield when Cespedes comes back? He’s be their starting 3B/2B with spending time in the OF

I’m not including Russell for him. Happ and Almora + non Amaya prospect(s) I’d do and then find a RHH OF (like Maybin).
-
I just got around to reading that article, what a horsefeathering joke of an organization. There's totally going to be a actual fight in the dugout or clubhouse with that team at some point this year.
-
It is, 2B/SS/C and sometimes an OF spot is replacement level or worse
-
VAUNTED MARLINS
-
Yeah only idiots try and post about those to make sense of things
-
Look at their schedule for the first few weeks out of the break. It's brutal. Will they have deGrom or Thor by then? Probably both and Machado
