    i have no idea why someone would spend all that time writing something that is so obviously just a troll job. actually that entire blog is just a bad troll job. what a colossal waste of time. it's either that or like a 13 year old Oh come on, that is so clearly a BCB troll.

    Then I hope we get one hell of a TV deal in 2020.

    I'm not going to go through three years of alternative offseasons. That'd be lunacy. I know I put out a few in the past (not for this past offseason, but the ones before). It involves a tremendous amount of hindsight, though. For example, Puig. By all accounts the Cubs were very aggressive in trying to sign Puig. My recollection is they were aggressive on Cespedes, not Puig. Puig was thought to be a comical overpay who was going to hurt the Dodgers WAR/$ for years to come.

    Let's just say they could have had a $150 million payroll to work with. Inherited the same contracts and team of course. Then parallel paths were absolutely possible. As crappy as it was Id choose the total rebuild over parallel paths as well. Going two fronts I dont believe would have set us up nearly as close to the potential longterm dominance that is near now. I just believe our young lineup with this type of potential offense in the run environment right now is a very very good spot to be in. 90s. yankees. http://i.imgur.com/7drHiqr.gif You stop that.

    How does one know to look for a post from 10 years ago to follow-up? The answer is always both, and it's not cheating

    probably puts us like top 15 until schwarber, torres, and almora (and mckinney and eloy and uhh whatever random pitchers pop up) put us back in the top 10? probably in the vicinity of who gives a [expletive] was the right answer

    Pretty clear he's looking for the Donn Roach era to begin.

    Last night, I had a dream about the Cubs that didn't involve poisoning Tom Ricketts's bison dog for the first time in 5 years.

    If there ever was a time to sell high on The Southern League Player of the Week, INFIELDER Dan Vogelbach, now is the time. If the medicals look alright I want Alex Cobb, he's under control through 2017 and dominant. I just wonder if it could get done without Baez or Schwarber. So what is that we're giving up here?
  14. SouthSideRyan
    Get out

    Somebody was talking about how full of [expletive] he was just last week.
  16. SouthSideRyan
    Holy [expletive]
  17. SouthSideRyan
    He's good

    Never go for the Crushinator.

    One is a rookie who will be around for at least 7 seasons, the other had 84 MLB HRs and will be around for at least 1.

    Just none of that salsa music.

    No one's saying it's predictive, but making Ross a punching bag without actually playing poorly yet makes even less sense. Brought to you by the inventor of Pure Pig's Anus

    I guess the thought it is Castillo won't be around to start against lefties in non-Lester starts.

    fixd DID YOU KNOW: Ross leads Cubs catchers with a .370 wOBA, 2nd only to Bryant for players with 10+ PA. entirely on the back of intentional walks and unintentional intentional walks, don't care at all You'd rather have had him expand the zone and ground out/pop-up weakly? Ross was my least favorite move of the offseason, and I really hope they stop using him as Lester's caddy the moment that Castillo is gone. But I think some are so predisposed to hate him that the fact that he's been fine so far is being cast aside as irrelevant. I think it's been cast aside as irrelevant because it's 10 PAs
