    We'll never truly know if it made it there because TBS' coverage is a bag of [expletive] Conversely we can never know if it cleared the river instead of landing in it because of TBS' shitty coverage

    I'm basically at moving on, he's healthy and [expletive] happens. The big thing is that he lost his splitter, previously his best pitch. I think Fangraphs did an article on him recently, he actually threw his splitter for more strikes this year than any year in his career so idk if he lost it or what to take away from that. Looking at pitch types he went to throwing his cutter a lot more than any other year at expense of his fastball but his velocities on all his pitches are right in line with his career norms, which I think you could make the conclusion that his "stuff" didn't really take a step back. I'd be all for bringing him back as our 2nd pitcher addition this offseason and see if last year was an outlier along with hoping getting a bump from a Bosio reunion. edit: here's the article http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/what-has-happened-to-jeff-samardzija/

    I don't really care at all. For a guy like Price, Greinke, Heyward, etc type FA it shouldn't even be in question. A guy like Estrada, Lackey, Kennedy, etc I think it absolutely should have some weight in the decision of signing a guy on that level.

    Martinez is interviewing for the Dodgers job per Mooney, damn you Friedman
  6. Cubswin11
    I'd rather have Leake at like 4/75-80 than Lackey at 3/50
  7. Cubswin11
    We offered it to Fowler, unsurprisingly. Mariners offered it to Iwakuma as well
  8. Cubswin11
    I think this is the year we finally see at least one player take one, Estrada, Kennedy and Lackey all seem like real possibilities

    Has he been spotted singing "Go Cubs Go" in a bar in Vegas tho?

    Figure he deserves his own thread since there will probably be rumors of him getting moved, the Giants declined options on Aoki and Byrd today. I wonder if there's a fit there for him? Also with assuming payroll restrictions/limitations he wouldn't be a bad guy to deal as it would clear some decent salary.

    More people watched a salt water fishing show than Cowherds show on Monday http://awfulannouncing.com/2015/just-how-many-people-watched-colin-cowherds-mega-hyped-interview-with-donald-trump.html

    I was actually going to propose Javy/Soler, Torres, Hendricks, McKinney, and Edwards for Fernandez and Ozuna. I'd be perfectly fine with this too and thought about Hendricks in my proposal as well.
  14. Cubswin11
    I wonder if that $40 million will stay that high moving forward or if it will lower a bit? How much was ramp up/start up money that was for 1 time things or things that have multiple years of use (computers, the associated ancillary items needed to support computers/analytic dept, would the Dominican facility count?, etc) vs how much is just essentially operating costs?
  15. Cubswin11
    I wonder if Soler, Torres, Almora, Contreras, whatever pitching prospect they like the most, and Hammel (pay half his contract and maybe they'd see some value in him to eat up innings) would be enough for Fernandez and Ozuna. Then sign Heyward for RF, Ozuna in CF.

    I mentioned it a week or so ago in another thread, but since we are doing a specific thread for pitchers to trade for I like Odorizzi as a trade target. I would think he could be had dealing from just the system with prospects. Obviously I don't want him as our main addition but I'd be pretty happy with an offseason of an Odorizzi trade and signing 1 of Leake, Samardzija, Kazmir (assuming the 2nd half blow up wasn't injury related) or Zimmerman on the pitching front.
  17. Cubswin11
    I'd be okay with bringing in Span on a 1 year deal but I would really like to bring Jackson back as well if that's the route we go.
  18. Cubswin11
    I agree about the draft picks, shouldn't matter. Just pointing out that it's an added benefit with Leake. And this FO seems like they are always going to bring in a guy like Norris, not saying he should be a main addition or depended on for anything, just for their yearly "see if we can fix it guy" I don't mind him as an option. Part of having the money to for top line talent should bring with it the ability to bring in a few guys every year for ~$3 million to try out essentially and it not to be a big deal to never have them pan out or have them cut by June.
  19. Cubswin11
    I pretty much have the same sentiment, I should like him more (especially if the FG estimates are close) but I just don't. Also he doesn't cost a pick.
  20. Cubswin11
    Bud Norris on a cheap 1 year deal as a potential back end or bullpen guy is something I wouldn't mind, the stuff is there. Would be worth throwing him to Bosio and seeing what they could do.
  21. Cubswin11
    I like Samardzija and Zimmerman at those costs.
  22. Cubswin11
    Need to pick up a back up QB this week with Russ on bye, pick 1. Carr @ Pitt Jameis vs NYG Cutler @ SD
  23. Cubswin11
    So Black to the Nationals isn't done and apparently Dusty is very much in play according to Heyman
  24. Cubswin11
    There's actually people out there who don't want Strop back or think it's no big deal if he isn't? WTF
