Random Cubs Musings: Minor League Edition
SouthSideRyan replied to Little Slide Rooter's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Parks calling the facility plus-plus is so grating and I can't describe why -
Those teams couldn't, but penn state and northwestern could.

Shocking that SBNation didn't work out for him
-
You're acting like it's his first crack at full season ball. Pitchers know how to game plan a batter more at AAA, that's about it. If the cubs start the 2015 season with Baez in AAA something has gone horribly wrong with him or the cubs aren't interested in winning games in 2015
-
Nobody is ready for the bigs until they put up a 950 OPS in PCL??
-
I bet sosas appearance fee is too high.
-
I fear the same. And it'll be explained that it's ok because the cubs aren't going to compete in 2015 anyway

Bernie's picture looks like he swallowed a canary That's a big canary

Lol, they're not gonna get anything done on renovations next year either are they
-
No we all missed that hatchet job from a michigan blog about groces awful crime of not recruiting a 2 star guy who committed to the school he was moving from
-
No they won 97 in spite of it

Must be going on another safari

How did Purdue ever [expletive] hang with these guys?

Nothing really new that I heard, but it was still worth the listen. Reiterated that Baez isn't "knocking down the door" yet and won't be until he's dominating AAA. Well, he did outwardly say that they went as far as they were willing to go on a few really good free agents (that on its own doesn't mean that much) that really interested them even if they weren't the perfect age within the context of saying that the planned pursuit of Tanaka didn't keep them from doing anything else that they wanted. I don't quite know how to express my reaction to this but it's certainly not positive it's probably (hopefully) just a lie. coming out with "yeah we had no idea our offer would be tens of millions of dollars short so we passed on the entire offseason to make it" would not exactly make him sound super competent. I'm not sure "we're not willing to pay market rate for anyone" is much better

Simpson was evidence of the overwhelming arrogance of the hendry front office
-
I don't strongly disagree (the best way would've been for us to win a damn game) but I don't think I would've started him over anyone who actually started. Were they gonna go 3 man or 4 man in that series? I think he was set to pitch game 4, but I would have had him pitch game 1. Harden [expletive]

3/3 - Cubs games (Giants/Brewers)
SouthSideRyan replied to David's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
It also depends on how cheap were going to be. If we want to avoid super 2 status, 2.5 months seems like the safe play. My fear is they're a held down through late April '15 because...ya know -
What the cardinals do this year really doesn't affect us at all. The bigger concern is how these 25 and unders are doing when we're competing

http://bball.notnothing.net/big10.php?sport=mbb I've been dorking around with this quite a bit. Iowa can still fall as low as a 10 seed Only michigan has clinched a bye
-
For just Melo. He's not signing for 3/$36M. He's signing for max. Melo can't sign for $20 million with the Bulls. Isn't that over max? I thought he has already said he is open to signing for something less than max money. He has seen what LeBron and the rest of the big three did. They took less to win. It's his time to do that. melo's not taking 12 million a year lmao gtfo Well how else do you expect them to fit him and Kevin love under the cap?
-
This is not even close to being true. He's not even 2nd best...in his division

Who ever said it was infallible? Pomeroy himself had said Wisconsin was overrated in the system in years past.
