    I'm gonna start to worry if we can't get 1 dong off of Kendrick in Coors
  2. Cubswin11
    Tiger-Sergio paired tomorrow

    Finally some ROI on that bunting contest

    It's only the 6th inning and Castillo is not someone who turns to dust against RHP He had a .631 OPS vs RHP last year and career .680 something. I'm not saying it was something that absolutely should happen, but when you carry 3 catchers and one hits RHP demonstrably better it seemed like an okay time to do it.

    Why not pinch hit Montero there?

    Dekker is going to enter the draft, he should be tweeting it out soon, I'm good friends with him and his older brother. He told me a few days ago he was announcing this morning.

    Flower first AB tomorrow night

    Verlander is starting the year on the DL

    The Braves just traded for Cahill from the D'Backs for a 24 year old OF who's never been above A ball. D'backs are paying about half his salary.

    I find it a little ironic that Olberman at times this year has ripped both Selig and BBWA (pretty sure Neyer has ripped them during HOF voting) for being archaic, living in the past and not adapting to modern times yet he criticizes an organization for renovating a a relic of a stadium to bring it up to pretty much just the basics of modern standards.

    d, rules are rules

    The last 4 I can think of are Pujols, Fielder, Votto and Teixeria. So yeah, not a great proposition.

    On the other hand, I can't remember a comparable 24 or 25 year old hitter being traded at all. How old was Miguel Cabrera when he was traded to Detroit? A-Rod to Yankees?
  16. Cubswin11
    When was the last time someone traded away a young #1 starter? Truly asking. Trying to remember. Doesn't need to be "young" can be average age, Shields, Garza, Price, Samardzija, etc.

    Draft the best hitter possible, trade hitters down the road for established pitching when pitching is the last need/hurdle to make a run.

    Castro. Hits over .300 and 20HR
  20. Cubswin11
    Taking a guess at the OD lineup now that we know who's up and down, mostly. CF Fowler RF Soler 1B Rizzo SS Castro C Montero 3B Olt LF Coghlan P Lester 2B Lastella
  21. Cubswin11
    Looks like it's mostly on the warning track
  22. Cubswin11
    Ran this again with more wiggle room for performance: 20+ HR, >= 10% BB, <= 18% K Andrew McCutchen Jose Bautista Victor Martinez Matt Holliday Edwin Encarnacion David Ortiz LaHair and Hoffpaur were pretty good in the minors too
  23. Cubswin11
    I think this is a metaphor to where all of our thoughts on 2003 and the surrounding players went
  24. Cubswin11
    Someone had to be left out and I chose him :-( Castro is awesome and Baez is sorrow molded into human form; the choice wasn't even a choice. Darlin Starlin will be entering his sixth season this year. Not sure if he still qualifies as a young gun He's younger than Rizzo
  25. Cubswin11
    Going the baseball route would be something I'd really like to see, probably drop it to 2 years tho. It would definitely improve the NCAA product but also help the NBA product a bit as most of the 1 and done guys have flaws and aren't going to be overly impactful, on a whole, right away.
