    While I don't disagree, what could one expect to receive for Marmol? I'm trying to think of historical precedent for a trade of this sort and all I can come up with are Billy Wagner and Matt Capps. The Phils sent Brandon Duckworth, Taylor Buchholz and Ezequiel Astacio for Wagner. Matt Capps netted the Nats Wilson Ramos. What is Marmol worth? Matt Capps certainly isn't a comparable situation.

    And Boston is lying if they said they knew he'd be a star.

    There is 0% chance Starlin Castro is traded. He's the only thing the organization is pushing right now, to trade him would be suicidal.

    Is Burks really worth that risk? Even if he is someday is a starter, he won't be right away. You'd be better off using Taj or Omer to get a guy like Mayo or to a lesser extent Lee who can play now and be a long term solution. Oh yeah, I would only want to trade up for Burks if the Bulls didn't have to part with Taj or Omer. Then what would you give up?

    Why were the Cubs never going to get Pujols? And how does the likelihood go down from never?
  6. SouthSideRyan
    What does his age matter? He's on a 1 year deal.

    Tom's just the chairman of the Cubs. The family owns the team.

    Why? HR calls are so stupid. An A-Bomb! From A-Rod! SEE YA!!! Yea, Len's lack of a homerun call is not a problem at all. I prefer when he screwed up and said An A-Bomb! From Hideki!! He probably meant for Hideki

    Hopefully this means more guys start deciding soon. Hamilton, I'm looking at you. And hopefully that leads to not taking anyone from the terrible '12 class.

    I'd say his future in the pen had a lot more to do with his injuries in '09 than any projections going forward.

    And Kimbrel's minor league #s would be considered "phenomenal" Why was Walden always going to be a reliever?
  12. SouthSideRyan
    i don't understand this. if you were to go back 5 or 10 years from now and rank current cub prospects by major league WAR (to evaluate which guys were most successful), there's a strong chance that at least one or two of the top 20 is currently pitching in relief in the minor leagues. Marmol and Marshall weren't relief prospects. If you choose to highly value peak/ceiling, there's nothing wrong with avoiding relief prospects.

    Did Geo die and I missed it?

    We should claim a conspiracy against us too Gm# Date Opponent Score Starter Opp Starter ..3 Sun 04/03/11 Pittsburgh 4- 5 Garza Ohlendorf .18 Wed 04/20/11 San Diego N 4- 5 Russell Harang .11 Sat 04/17/10 Houston 3- 4 Gorzelanny Oswalt .31 Sun 05/10/09 @ Milwaukee 4- 2 Marshall Suppan .60 Sun 06/14/09 Minnesota 3- 2 Lilly Baker .23 Fri 04/25/08 @ Washington N 3- 5 Dempster Perez .44 Sun 05/18/08 Pittsburgh 4- 3 Marquis Dumatrait 111 Sat 08/02/08 Pittsburgh 5- 1 Lilly Maholm 156 Tue 09/23/08 @ New York N 2- 6 Marshall Santana 4-5 over a 5 year span..... I don't think that dog'll hunt. What does plausibility have to do with a good conspiracy?

    Yep, doesn't matter that it's the 6th, Koyie's unlikely to have a higher leveraged AB than that one.
  17. SouthSideRyan
    Is there any question who will be the Cubs pity All Star, Castro's no pity all-star.
  18. SouthSideRyan
    That was interference.
  19. SouthSideRyan
    And he fouled off like 4 or 5 pitches with 2 strikes.
  20. SouthSideRyan
    Besides yesterday?
  21. SouthSideRyan
    And I checked, there are like 4 posts per Thursday night game last year.
  22. SouthSideRyan
    You probably wouldn't have cared for the original word I used.
  23. SouthSideRyan
    He just had one last night. Still love Len.
  24. SouthSideRyan
    You just described 98% of this board Ok.

    I don't think the type of meatheads that care about the Bengals/49ers week 7 game are the people watching Thursday Night NBC
