    I agree. I've never been a fan of creating one hole to fill another. It's one thing to move players who are coming to the end of their deals or are blocking decent players or ones that are overvalued due to the position they play (relievers)...it's another to just blindly say that "everyone can go." I never understand people who automatically assume that's a good move. It's basically saying, "yeah, this garbage season we're watching right now? I want to see that for the next 5+ years." Yeah but think of how competitive we'll be in 5 years when we're paying Castro 22M/Y and everyone starts hating him because his skin is darker than Dave Kaplan's. (Just joking, Kaplan better have been killed by then.)

    I'd imagine Davis's release had a lot more to do with his pathetic performance vs. Lopez's somewhat not awful performance and the need for only one terrible starter going forward rather than his reaching exactly 10 years.

    Wonder if they miss a season if Kobe calls it quits. Same goes for Garnett and Duncan. Duncan and Garnett very well might, they are both post players who would be about 37 years old. I doubt Kobe would though. I doubt KG will. I could see Duncan.

    I'd love to bump a davearm post to give him an I told you so, but I realized I can just do it for any bad move the Cubs have made in the past 5 years.

    So if a Castro trade was worthwhile you wouldn't make it? I get what you're saying in theory, but a worthwhile Castro trade isn't realistic. A worthwhile Geo trade isn't bloody likely either.

    That is to say, walk off the field, grab his glove and head out to CF.
  7. SouthSideRyan
    Campana walk off coming.

    No he hasn't. He started the first game of the doubleheader. Day game after night game and a game of a doubleheader is far from egregious.
  9. SouthSideRyan
    Wow, I'll take it

    If only some collective groupthink mind could've forseen that Grabow was a bad signing.

    How bad are Doug Davis and the Giants offense if Marcos freaking Mateo is shutting them down over 4 innings? I like Mateo

    I wonder if there'd be a stink raised if Kerry got traded and immediately re-signed with the Cubs for way under market value. I vaguely remember San Fran making a big deal about Ponson signing with Baltimore the year after they traded him away, insinuating there was a backroom deal in place.

    It's pretty tough to say with the uncertain CBA, but I'd have to imagine Gibson will get overpaid on an open market.

    Doesn't mean we have to give up actual talent for him.
  17. SouthSideRyan
    Agreed, if he never makes it out of the Rookie league. But I think with his athleticism he will at least play a few games in the majors as a defensive replacement. He was out of Rookie ball this year OPSing 839

    Is it really fair to compare bonuses from 2004 to 2009?

    What's he supposed to do run around his office screaming "ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod?" Lol, first comment on the article: ETA: and for good measure, here's the third:

    I can. he looks it. Just because you sleep in a cryogenic anti-aging chamber doesn't mean everyone does
  21. SouthSideRyan
    Division.
  22. SouthSideRyan
    THEY SHOULD'VE BOOED
  23. SouthSideRyan
    I hear he was sobering up
  24. SouthSideRyan
    I do get the suspicion we're holding on to Pena, with the thought that he's our fallback if Pujols or Fielder don't materialize.
  25. SouthSideRyan
    He was already replaced. By Darwin Barney. It's in the title of the post.
