    To be fair to those that feel that way, and I'm not of that mindset, but potentially, the team would be in better shape to take advantage of the earlier years of that contract. Guessing he's not going to become younger than Fielder over the next 2 years. Nope. But my mind is dead set on Pujols at this point. Forgive me. EDIT - And I'm still not sure how I feel about how Fielder is going to age. If you assume the same contracts for Votto and Fielder(I wouldn't, I'd expect Votto to get a better deal if he hits FA due to being the only one out there.), then Fielder would have to decline more than 2 years (age-wise) than Votto will. I see no reason why to believe that.

    While you should never actively look for a player who will be just ok because of where he plays, having a collection of guys who can shake out to be league average at 2B for league minimum is a huge asset. You don't pay real money for guys like the Cubs 2B collection, but you take advantage of the time they cost you no money, then spin them off when they hit arb.

    The PCL's average park factor is roughly a bajillion.

    I don't think he fits either of the last 2 qualities. Up the middle is the one spot we don't need to bring in new players for. Between Soto, Castro, Jackson/Szczur, and Barney/DeWitt/DJL/Flaherty/Gonzalez, the Cubs should be fine.

    I think Zambrano is a Cub on opening day because Theo is an intelligent person. If he could save ~8M by dumping him, he would because Z's unlikely to be worth more than the remainder of his deal, and wouldn't be worth it at that point, but it's pretty damn unlikely he can.

    The 14 variations of Epstein user names didn't seem to mind.

    You should have known better. Laywers are an infestation on this board; and we're all pompous enough to want to talk about it. Yes, but why would you want to talk about going to law school (or being able to go, but not going)?? It's like somebody gloating about having a journalism degree.

    [expletive], I'm sorry I said anything.
  21. SouthSideRyan
    Who are 3 people who've never been in my kitchen. Epstein talked about LaHair because he thought it would be rude to laugh at Rogers and throw a pie in his face in response.

    When has a major market team made a front office move like this? There is a difference between putting a bad product on the field and not making a significant free agent addition. I think they will not be a significant player in free agency and will spend the Ramirez and Fuk money on improvements to the organization and maybe to pay a big chunk of Zambrano's contract. If they are in the hunt in a crap division next year then they get into the trade market. That's how I see it going down. So you think trading prospects to push a bad team that happens to be contending in a bad division over the top is a better plan with regard to both improving the major league team and the building the farm system than it would be to just sign a free agent now that improves the major league team significantly and doesn't cost them prospects? And what the hell is the bold? Zambrano's contract is already part of the 2012 payroll. It's already taken into account when talking about the freed up money. You think they're going to spend something like $30-40+M of freed up Major League payroll on "improvements to the organization?" Explain. Getting those troughs out of there can be expensive.

    lots of fat people ITT on the fat people defense imo not ct, though. no way he's a fat guy. Too busy IN LAW SCHOOL to eat.
  24. SouthSideRyan
    He should, he was probably in his prime sports watching age when Tom Waddle was playing. And Waddle played at BC while Theo was 12-16
  25. SouthSideRyan
    He was the worst. He had this whole "who does this punk kid think he is?" attitude through the show. I hope Theo's arrival means that the Chicago media actually starts to learn some things about baseball. Don't hold your breath. Hopefully they do though. Hold their breath that is. Killing themselves
