    yes, this. his approach is already good. if he gets injured, he can do in chicago. there's also no need to worry about service time, either. So nobody thinks we keep him down until we're past super 2, to delay his opting out by 1 year?
  2. SouthSideRyan
    Core four was ridiculous, but now future five is just silly and I hope they keep coming up with new ones. Six dudes swinging their big dicks? cringe factor is way higher on brett's sexy six/seven thing arguello is going with magnificent seven Cringe factor is way higher on Brett's ___________

    And Rizzo wasn't sent down for further development, not was Bryant kept on AA for development. It was service time games.

    I didn't know microtels had suites
  5. SouthSideRyan
    Ruben amaro would probably report you
  6. SouthSideRyan
    In 2005?

    You think if they said Bryant was their #1 choice all along that somebody ahead of them would've taken Schwarber instead? If you're talking in terms of trades, they've certainly done a poor job of hiding their intentions in their comments on the Shark/Hammel trade.

    Being on record saying it doesn't mean it is true. What is his motivation to say the guy they drafted wasn't the guy they liked best?
  10. SouthSideRyan
    We probably could've been competitive this year if not for those crippling Chad Fox contracts
  11. SouthSideRyan
    Would we have taken him if he fell to us? I know we supposedly had Appel-Bryant 1-2
  12. SouthSideRyan
    At least our guys can still play this season.
  13. SouthSideRyan
    Once you establish yourself as a successful pro, the only thing that ever matters are successful pros. There is no such thing as a prospect in that world. Unless you're a pro Cub who knows about The Plan

    I can wait an extra three weeks to keep him an extra year. Or we could pay to have him that extra year rather than potentially cost us games in a year where we can't afford to throw away our slim margin for competition. If he's any good at all, you just paid like $20m for 15 games of him. Nobody does that. If you think there's any chance of doing that, just bring him up now to get extra time to adjust. Well no [expletive] Kyle. Nobody in their right mind wants him up on Opening Day next year, but thinks it's a great idea to keep him in AAA for the rest of '14.

We're supposed to be this unstoppable money-making machine by 2020, but we're going to purposely handicap ourselves in 2015 in order to save our 2021 roster.
  16. SouthSideRyan
    How are we going to get to 100M without making a couple of big moves?
  17. SouthSideRyan
    I don't even see anyone particularly note worthy playing today in those lineups. Well we don't have much to trade away that is particularly noteworthy

  19. SouthSideRyan
    3-14, but yeah it's amazing
  20. SouthSideRyan
    Baez at 2nd. Bryant at 3B. That's a potential 125 HR infield. I bet our SS and 1B will hit a few too
  21. SouthSideRyan
    Return to the shadows
  22. SouthSideRyan
    Is Rusin taking over that rotation sport from yesterday then?
  23. SouthSideRyan
    I think I saw Rizzo in the dugout between innings showing Castro a spreadsheet about the great success rate of top 20 prospects and he may have had a couple print outs about potential TV deals on there too, I'm not sure the sound was down
  24. SouthSideRyan
    This is silly, nobody likes to lose and the fact that these guys are young doesn't mean they're all on board for losing to win. If you don't think castro is annoyed at his 5th consecutive sell-off I don't know what to tell you. Arrieta came from a team that was losers forever, finally broke through to the playoffs and is immediately sent to another organization losing forever.. They don't give a [expletive] about the plan
  25. SouthSideRyan
    I'd think those would be three of the guys most annoyed about the situation.
