What if that "somebody better" isn't on the market, or is ridiculously overpriced? And why give up prospects for a guy then when you can potentially negate that need now without giving up prospects? I didn't say it was ideal, I just don't see this front office signing a fatally flawed contract like the Soriano one. -
That's my biggest concern - that we do everything right up to the point that we need that elite FA, and he's not there. And that leaves us with overpaying for the best FA available or not quite being good enough for another season (or more). I'm quite certain if Alfonso Soriano Jr. is the best available FA, we'll wind up trading for somebody better.

his 8.02 ERA last year certainly supports that Yeah, but just look at his first name. Breathtaking. -

It seems like the ballooning of free agent contracts has had little effect on the pre-arb extensions. I guess the thought process is to get your guarantee early, even at a discount because the FA contract after that will be the one that puts you in CC territory.

I think I'd swap MSU and Michigan depending on Nix's suspension. ETA: Is DeShaun Thomas staying in school? I'd put OSU on tier one too

Sorry Caballo, I want you guys to miss the playoffs so I can see the meltdown when the Bulls only win their first round series 4-1

Ok, so who's scholarship is getting whacked? I have heard that Perea and Jurkin have not qualified yet. There is speculation that Jurkin could end up spending a year at prep school. That would free up the needed scholarship. I said awhile ago that Jurkin will never see campus. They only cared about him to get Perea committed. Tom Crean is a shameful individual, and quite ugly.

Why the [expletive] would you want Russell to get another shot as a starter?
-
I'd give him twice that.

So is BacktoBanks just going to quit the forum once the Cubs get good? Start following around whatever rookie league team Hendry is scouting?

Mat Gamel looked so uncomfortable on that play. That wasn't even a hard scoop, he just has no idea what he's doing over there.

The third most important thing in life is a strong bench. The fourth most important thing: a poop free dugout.

They should add in a 3rd game neutral site, like Chernobyl or Fallujah.

The [expletive] fans who would be booing him are the same [expletive] fans that think they're making some great statement by not going to games. The boos will be few and far between.

No breakdown in mechanics, was pitching as smoothly in the 9th as he was all game, no concerns.

And in the finale, he and his family die.

I'd much rather face the Bucks than the Knicks or 76ers.

Yeah, what an [expletive] trying to enjoy himself. Anyone who won't play with Derrick Rose is a big meanie. ETA: There are a lot of big meanies.
