    It's not really Aramis is it? It's Jacque? They should have put his little cockfighting roosters with him, then it would be eaiser to tell. Is there a worse bobble head out there?

    Many bobble heads are way off, but that would have been one of the worst

    The radio said Bryant won Rookie of the Month (Arrieta got Pitcher of the Month).

    Has anyone done Cy DeSclafani yet?

    Those look like...favorable estimates. Montero and Schwarber specifically.

    I hate to bring this thread back, but I had a dream last night that Rizzo killed himself. In my dream I thought, no way, this can't be true, and woke myself up, pulled out my phone to verify it was just a dream but it was true. I tried to go back to sleep in my dream by thinking of if they'd call up Vogelbach, and if they did, if they would compare his body to Schwarber, then thought the would move Schwarber to first, Coghlan back to LF, and call up Baez. All the while I thought it would end their season and was trying to figure out why he would do it when the team was ready to go to the playoffs. I got back to sleep in my dream and when I actually woke up I had to look it up to make sure Rizzo was ok, but it made me think that it was karma for all the comments about the drunk driving Cardinals.

    Left game after fouling ball off knee and now on DL, presumably as a result. Dang, how did I not notice that.

    And because he made headlines by getting pummeled by Nolan Ryan

    What do we do in CF? Jason Heyward + Tyson Ross trade (let's say Baez & Castro without much else coming back) + Howie Kendrick at 2B Man, I like the way you think, but there's no way they sign Heyward and Kendrick AND a starting pitcher, sadly. But I like that dream. That's why he said to trade for Ross. Daniel Murphy would be another good option. Very similar to Kendrick stat wise, but can play 1B, 3B, LF, too. Kind of a reverse Coghlan position wise with a little less offensive upside. Murphy and Kendrick are both making $8MM this year, and will likely cost about the same.

    What happened to McKinney?

    What are the odds the Bears can get a decent return on Willie Young? He's not 100% coming off surgery, but he was very good last season and should have a lot of value to a 4-3 team. He doesn't seem to fit into the defense and seems like he would have more value to another team. 4th round pick seem realistic?

    Haven't we been stuck with him for at least 3 preseasons now? It's not worth mentioning because it's routine. To be fair, Sam Rosen does suck donkey balls

    How likely is it that Maddon had to play Castro until after the trade deadline for the sake of not torpedoing his trade value? Once past the break Castro is on a relatively hot streak, but as it starts to wear off Maddon says, forget it, Russell to SS. Does he have to get Theo's permission to bench Castro pre-trade deadline?

    Baez

    jumbo replied to sontensei's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    Not sure, but I know a report came out in the last few days that they were going to have him play a bunch of different positions. Presumably 2B, SS and 3B. Anything beyond that would be overkill right now. What are the odds that Baez gets the Zobrist super sub role? I wouldn't worry about him taking up LF, but what about center or right? Mayne not enough range/fly ball tracking for CF? Not enough arm for RF?
