  1. didn't kyle say it was a mistake because they 'paid a pitcher before they had to'? eh, even if he didn't, i'll try to remember it that way as yet another amusing bit of lunacy Tim didn't like it because you should never sign a pitcher for multiple years. viewtopic.php?f=29&t=63637&p=3184115 lol, the only replies. Amazing.

  3. There's also 5 other teams within 5 games of the Twins, so they'll have to be plenty good to make up the deficit. I don't quite get it either(why start looking towards the future NOW after all they've done to mortgage it), but even just next year looks pretty rough so I could see them sacrificing a somewhat longshot this year to make future years more palatable. Illitch is 100 years old and the coming years are going to be a lot more longshotty than this year. Giving up for what sounds like will be a mediocre return makes no sense to me.
  4. The Tigers are 3 games out of the playoffs, and the team they're chasing is the Twins.
  5. But we get to save our draft pick!
  6. I agree. Why continue to lead the race for the 2nd wildcard and get into the playoffs this year, when you can get into the playoff NEXT year?!?!?!? LOL well when the cubs get the 2nd wild card and the kids experience the post season (rizzo included) for the first time they will be THAT much more prepared to own the NL for the rest of the decade. Personally, I want the Cubs to sell this week. Trade Hammel, Fowler, Montero and anyone else who isn't under 25 and under team control for 10 years. Trades 4 years of control for 77 years!
  7. If we're going with that, I'll just plop Lebron and Love on the late 80s/early 90s Cavs
  8. lol, can't believe this is a serious conversation. This is basically the 90s Bulls are the bestest and they could hang with every franchise's all-time team.
  9. And Aardsma is basically Hawkins with more year of control!
  10. Horace Grant is 5th all time in Win Shares for the Bulls (Kirk Hinrich is 10th!!!) Joakim Noah is 4th in VORP Chet Walker is 5th in PER
  11. No. The Celtics and Lakers top 5 would beat the Bulls by 90.
  12. The going price won't be anywhere near one very good prospect and a bag full of crap?
  13. To be fair, he was a catcher when he was Schwarber's age. At low A ball.
  14. I've heard Piazza was pretty good at all aspects but controlling the running game. Given the era he played in, that'd make him an above average defensive catcher.
  15. What do you think receiving is?
  16. The first sports team I remember was the '89 Cubs
  17. if he goes unclaimed? Regardless Being able to stash a guy on DFA status and pull him back without consequence would seemingly go against the whole point of having roster rules. It's rare that a player is DFAd without using it to replace him on the 40 man roster. The only situation where they wouldn't would be for a waste of space vet like Richard.
