    6 year deal according to Twitter haven't seen numbers yet
  2. Cubswin11
    A 15% chance before the season starts is a [expletive] huge percentage.

    If you ask Cardinals fans he should've finished #2 in ROY behind the winner, Grichuck
  4. Cubswin11
    Yeah, doesn't appear to be any new content. Just all the clips they've already done on every team edited into 1 "segment" on each team.
  5. Cubswin11
    Maybe they were holding out on his presser to wait for Heyward to sign so they can do a dual one to shove it down St. Louis' throat

    MLBN has a 2016 season preview/offseason overview thing for the NL Central on at 7 CT tonight, FWIW. Figured this is the best thread to post this.

    If there was a Least Valuable Player award Matt Ryan would be running away with it, holy [expletive] does he suck

    Lol, what [tweet] [/tweet]
  9. Cubswin11
    Harper, Otani and Fernandez please
  10. Cubswin11
    Wisconsin is pretty bad
  11. Cubswin11
    Yeah I mean it's unlikely but he was here last year to experience it first hand with Joe shuffling guys all around "4th" OF on this team is really in name only. He'd probably start nearly ever game against LHP and probably would appear in about every game he didn't start for defense later in the game. Obviously he's a starting caliber OF, but if his market never materializes maybe they could talk him in to coming back if we make other moves yet. Again it's highly unlikely but if the FO is truly not done yet you could see a scenario with him coming back.

    Astros are sending Appel to the Phillies in the Giles trade

    Maybe Joe Torre would manage Iowa for us too? I said it was far-fetched, but there's still a lot of guys ahead of him to sign and with next years FA class being so crappy maybe they could convince him to come back on a 1 year deal, hopefully be a part of something special, and cash in next year.
  14. Cubswin11
    I know it's far-fetched and unlikely but my last remaining moves, in a perfect offseason, would be figuring out a way to trade Coghlan and a mess of prospects (Torres, Jeimer, Edwards/Underwood, etc.) for either Odorizzi and McGee or Gausman and then convince Fowler to come back on a 1-2 year deal to be the back-up OF.
  15. Cubswin11
    I kinda would't mind Austin Jackson back as our 4th/5th OF, depending on price, and selling off Coghlan for whatever we could get. I think what he provides as the back up OF is greater than what Coghlan would provide with how the roster is set up as of today.
  16. Cubswin11
    Yeah I'm completely fine holding steady with what we have now and going into the year with it outside of IFA and minor league contracts/ST invites.
  17. Cubswin11
    Wow, that's a lot to walk away from hopefully he doesn't have any crazy healthy problems. I would think the Mets are gonna be able to get Upton or re-sign Cespedes now.
  18. Cubswin11
    Oh yea.
  19. Cubswin11
    Desmond Jennings involved, maybe? [tweet]https://twitter.com/JulieDiCaro/status/675358211004870657[/tweet]
  20. Cubswin11
    The Mike O'Neill guy we took in the AAA portion has some of the craziest BB% to K% rates I've ever seen. http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=sa546800&position=OF
  21. Cubswin11
    He was on our 40 man and became available when we tried to take him off. Fundamentally, I think he is the casualty required to get Brendan Ryan onto the 40 man. Ah, got it. Makes sense I would think Ryan will be the next casualty once we figure out (hopefully Heyward) CF.
  22. Cubswin11
    Olmos was never on the 40-man, right? It's still full at 40?
  23. Cubswin11
    Couple of smaller moves coming in, Mets sign Asdrubal Cabrera, Brett Lawrie to the White Sox, Petit to the Nationals
  24. Cubswin11
    [expletive] pitchers, keep the dongsmen and sign Heyward and dong the league into oblivion
  25. Cubswin11
    it's not really that simple. the pirates, if they use all of their club options, have niese for 3/30. hammel is a free agent after this season. the pirates presumably valued the cost control that niese offered. Doesn't hammel have an extremely cheap 2017 option Yeah it's $9 million this year with a $10 million option next year ($2 million buyout).
