Nope, most Cubs fans are idiots. Most baseball fans are idiots. Most sports fans are idiots. There'd be plenty of buffoons out there harassing him about not being a man. Nolan Ryan threw 500 innings a year.
11 I wonder how often a team finishes a season with more blown saves than actual saves? :-k The last time a team finished a season with more blown saves than actual saves was the 2008 Washington Nationals. GO CUBS!!
Sorry, I don't keep track of wins, losses, saves, holds, or blown saves. DO YOU KEEP TRACK OF IAN STEWART LUCK TOTALS LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw a Storm player stuff a pack of cigarettes into her bra and not pay at a convenience store across from Key arena once. It could've just been a really fit, 6'3 non-player I guess, but I hope not. Cool story. I think that was Wesley Snipes
Brad Eldred, he's over 30 years old. Nothing to see there. meh I figured it was some minor league journeyman Zuleta type. Who's he tied with? Same type? He's tied with elite prospect Wil Myers of the Royals. He's a top 10 guy at this point, maybe even top 5. Myers is probably the best hitter in the minors right now. Not quite putting up Rizzo numbers, but pretty damn good. And he's only 21. Dude walked 85 times in 2010 as a 19-year old in A-ball. Myers is playing in Omaha which has a silly park factor IIRC
Something that I have been clamoring loudly since 2006, probably even before that. Go Theo! I wish they could get Rothschild back. NO THE WELL WAS POISONED
I think that's right, and I also think it's not going to be an issue. I can't imagine the Cubs built in some sort of work around that would circumvent the CBA by having him go through the arbitration process but then revert back to being under contract. 2012, 2013 and 2014 are the first three years, and he's probably not going to sniff the big leagues in that time. So actually that would leave him with 6 years left on the deal and 6 years until free agency. Wait, I forgot what year it is. Soler would need to be up for good by Opening Day 2014 to accumulate 6 full seasons worth of time.
Am I wrong about Soler needing to stick in the majors by Opening day 2015(Well, 10 days after) in order for this to matter? It sounds like the most optimistic case has him reaching Boise this year. He'd have to play out of his mind to get up in time.
I think draft picks played a decent role when it came to signing free agents. (for some teams) I think it meant close to nothing when it came to acquiring a player at the deadline.
