I understand the bar for offensive production at catcher is extremely low, but isn't Castillo essentially a platoon catcher? Career .684 vs RHP and poor defensively (at a time when extra value is being placed on defense/framing at the catcher position). Catchers OPSd 689 last year. Hitters OPSd 698 vs. RHP -
I'm just a known idiot, but I am aware that this crazy thing called "Spring Training" exists. "Hey Kris, go spend twenty minutes tracking down fly balls" on some high-sunned March morning. Boom, he now can handle left field. this post just makes me want a 20 minute video of you trying to catch fly balls on a sunny day. 1 minute of Kyle trying to catch fly balls, 19 minutes of him being loaded up and taken away in an ambulance.

Prospects who were never Cubs
SouthSideRyan replied to TruffleShuffle's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
I wonder if that's going to to against their draft money. In which case, they'll lose their first rounder this year. I really doubt it. -
That's particularly strange since Drew was drafted in the 90s

Holy [expletive], Nix got 1.5M as a settlement from the Astros. ETA: Per Gammons -
I want the Yankees to sign him, make him shave, then cut him. I want the Cardinals to sign him if you know what I mean.

Not quite but the stupid '08 Cubs cost us Strasburg.

Jake Renshaw. I forgot one half of the legendary Cherry Pie was in that deal Scott Moore, who i see was 23 and OPSing .900 at Iowa I really liked him. Forgot he was in that too. Renshaw was the PTBNL that BR didn't bother updating the trade for.

I think our being terrible for [expletive] ever has made you forget how fun it is to actually have a competitive team. Give me 100 '04 teams over having to suffer through one more 2012

PTBNL from Oakland

Yikes, outside your top 50? -
This is hardly a low risk high reward situation. The risk is very real that you threw away $4.5m on a guy that will provide nothing. The reward is maybe one season of a good reliever. the risk also included that fact that when he sucks, his stupid contract will give him way more leash than he deserves. Eh, they dumped Veras way earlier than I expected them to last year.

I hate 100% of that picture

More than I was expecting.

That's been the case for 3 years before any deer urine reference.

My first impression of David Haugh was I wanted to punch him in the face. That impression has not faded.
