    Is there a more obvious "sell high" candidate in the system? Tell Amaro he hits 98 and that he doesn't strike anyone out because he's the only minor league pitcher on the planet truly learning to pitch. I doubt Amaro is going to be allowed to do anything on his own
  2. SouthSideRyan
    Unreal how you could recognize that we were able to win 2 games against the best pitchers in baseball but insist were doooooooked because of match ups the next 2

    he was doomed because he's ryne sandberg Ned Yost won the AL last year. Awful managers can persevere with talented teams.
  4. SouthSideRyan
    And probably punch you in the face.

    If you go to Wainwrights twitter it says ".... Husband, daddy, outdoor lovin, sweet tea drinkin, Chick-fil-A eatin...". Isn't Chick-fil-A eatin just another way to say I hate me some gays? No it's a way of saying I like to eat Chick-fil-A.

    I'm pretty sure that's outdated and the DL loophole is no longer necessary. ETA: But wiki says otherwise, so I'll just Go [expletive] myself.

    unless they changed it, isn't it that anyone in the org can replace an injured player on the 25-man? i guess we can just assume the cubs will do the thing where they add an injured player so they can sneak people onto the playoff roster and this is all moot, but you guys know what i was getting at here. also i actually want schwarber in LF aug 1 They dropped the DL requirement.
  8. SouthSideRyan
    Pretty sure they only have to be in the organization.

    If framing stats are to be believed, Jon Lester is probably literally the last person in MLB to complain about ball/strike calls.

    I don't understand why any of these teams would trade these players. havent the braves come out and said that they would listen on teheran Can't find anything. It would be peculiar given his contract, though he hasn't been too good this year, and was extended under a prior regime.

    I don't even understand what he's trying to say(or care I guess)

    Irrelevant. None of us played at minute maid but we can comment on the stupid hill in center field and awful turf at soldier field. That hill is/was awesome.
  14. SouthSideRyan
    The Cubs FO has overseen 3 deadlines where the team was awful. Reading anything into their desires based on their actions those 3 years seems pretty silly.
  15. SouthSideRyan
    For Iowa?

    I would love to have Chris Sale. I think there's approximately 0.01% chance the Sox trade him. In the event that they do trade him, It would take a different set of players than what you've listed here. It's very likely that the best player that comes back in a deal for Sale needs to be better/more valuable than Schwarber, which for the Cubs means Russell, maybe Baez or Castro if this trade happens in the offseason and they can rehab(physically in Baez's case) their value a bit. You can also throw Bryant in that category with Russell, but Bryant has an even less chance of getting traded than Sale. aside from rizzo russell and bryant i'd give em what it takes. http://media.giphy.com/media/5xtDarrpLSZtBmtUleU/giphy.gif

    And he's merely replacement level. It's like he forgot how to do everything except swing for the fences. Eh? bWAR has him 1.3, fWAR at 0.8.
  18. SouthSideRyan
    Plan, I find it very interesting. One that I'll add for today just because I've seen it cited enough that I know it was their highwater mark. 1977: 47-22. 70th game 0-5 loss to the Expos 8.5 game lead on division.
  19. SouthSideRyan
    He owns an Ottis Anderson youth jersey!
  20. SouthSideRyan
    We've gotta be closing in on an '08 date. ETA: 9 over was our highwater mark in '09.
  21. SouthSideRyan
    Couldn't find a separate topic on the radio deal, but CSN just reported that we're likely heading to The Score next season. Apparently had a 1 time opt out after this season to leave for The Score. Sox are moving to 890.
  22. SouthSideRyan
    lol, Mike Baxter, Matt Szczur, one legged Fowler, and Denorfia
  23. SouthSideRyan
    That would've been amazing.
  24. SouthSideRyan
    Last year was a 22 year low in OPS at .700 Current leauge OPS is .711, which would rank 2nd to last for wild card era.
  25. SouthSideRyan
    How reliable are FG's Infield Hit numbers? They've got Bryant at a silly 26% rate(13 total) I know there have been notable examples of him beating out grounders, but that still seems quite high.
