  1. Grabow is available and dare i say it, has not looked too bad so far.
  2. Cash looks great, it is nice to see him face the D'Backs first as well to gather some confidence, they are not a very scary offense.
  3. Yea Marshall could have gotten through that inning by himself.
  4. This made me feel slightly better, thanks. Why can't we play Fuk or Colvin in CF. Byrd is not a full time starter..
  5. Wow... Castro, Garza, ARam, and Pena have been awesome, hope it continues!
  6. Ummm Castro is amazing... I think his power is already here.
  7. I'd much rather have Castro in the 2 spot, he has an awesome approach with guys on base.
  8. $not,enough.00 I thought I heard at one point it was 950k this year 1.1 mil next.
  9. Carlos left the game with stomach cramps and natiousness watching his offense.
  10. My thoughts today were: If Axford sucks then the Brewers are in trouble. The Scrappy St.Louis Duo are going to be a trainwreck middle infield. Pujols will not go hitless this year. The Reds are going to hit a lot of Home Runs Why did Verlander throw 114 pitchers in the first game? Glad I picked Cameron Maybin as one of my sleeper picks. The Cubs are undefeated versus the Pirates this year. MLB Network > ESPN
  11. Some people are predicting a 40 home run season from Bruce, which i guess is possible. I do not really see Cueto or Volquez as healthy long term pitchers to build around.
  12. Anyone know what DHEA is? "dehydroepiandrosterone" it is a natural steriod.
  13. Someone has to do it right? AL East: 1. Red Sox, 2. Rays, 3. Yankees, 4. Blue Jays, 5. Orioles AL Central: 1. White Sox, 2. Twins, 3. Tigers, 4. Indians, 5. Royals AL West: 1. Athletics, 2. Rangers, 3. Angels, 4. Mariners AL Wildcard: Twins NL East: 1. Braves, 2. Phillies, 3. Marlins, 4. Mets, 5. Nationals NL Central: 1. Reds, 2. Cubs, 3. Brewers, 4. Cardinals, 5. Pirates, 6. Astros NL West: 1. Rockies, 2. Giants, 3. Dodgers, 4. Padres, 5. Diamondbacks NL Wildcard: Phillies World Series: Red Sox beat Braves in 6. AL Cy Young: David Price NL Cy Young: Tommy Hanson AL MVP: Adrian Gonzalez NL MVP: Carlos Gonzalez AL ROY: Kyle Drabek NL ROY: Brandon Belt AL Comeback Player of the Year: A.J. Burnett, NYY NL Comeback Player of the Year: Carlos Beltran, NYM
  14. http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/story/14875265 Predictions from CBS, one pick for the Cubs. Will there be a predictions thread this year for us to participate?
  15. Had to know this was coming. Per MLBTR Bye Bye Silva
  16. Wow this is a great day and makes me feel a hell of a lot better about who is running this team. We wont know if this is all Quades decision but kudos to whoever finally is trying to put the best pitching staff together. I realize Shark is still here but he probably wont kill us as a mop up.
  17. I just went from six to midnight. Please be true.
  18. I would love to have MaxRam on the bench but a lot of days whoever Colvin is playing for will be on the bench or Colvin will be himself. DeWitt is not a bad bench bat. At first glance the bench is not very good but I think it will be better than people think.
  19. So Barney is not capable of a .300 OBP or a .300 SLG? I agree about Hill he sucks and should be replaced but if Soto is healthy we will not notice as much.
  20. I realize a lot of discussion has had in the spring training discussion thread but as decisions are being made is it easier to have its own thread? As of right now it stands as listed: 31/25 players INF Aramis Ramirez Carlos Pena Starlin Castro Jeff Baker Darwin Barney Blake DeWitt C Koyie Hill Max Ramirez Geovany Soto Wellington Castillo OF Alfonso Soriano Marlon Byrd Kosuke Fukudome Tyler Colvin Reed Johnson P Ryan Dempster* Carlos Zambrano* Matt Garza* Randy Wells* Carlos Silva* Andrew Cashner* Carlos Marmol* Kerry Wood* Sean Marshall* John Grabow* James Russel Marcus Mateo Casey Coleman Jeff Stevens Jeff Samardjiza* Unless the Cubs shock people and release Silva there is 1 spot left for the bullpen and the backup Catcher has yet to be officially named. Who is everyone pulling for in the bullpen? I think Mateo has the highest upside of the remaining 4.
  21. Whoever starts the season at 2B will not last much later into June, if there are any struggles out of Baker/Barney/DeWitt i think the Cubs will make a strong push towards Kelly Johnson or possibly someone like a Aaron Hill, BRob type veteran. Obviously this depends on the teams position in the standings.
