This tweet makes my brain hurt. Explain it to me. We have a lot of versatility
-
Maybe. Schwarber did say that he doesnt give a crap about playing time, he's just glad Dexter is back and only cares about winning. Could be disingenuous, but I think there is a shred of truth in it. Also because Schwarber knows he smash baseballs well enough that any thoughts of limiting his playing time will be short lived.
-
The impact isn't as big, but I think I'm enjoying this as much as the Heyward signing just because of how unexpected and awesome it is.
-
BigBird dropped the ball on that scoop didn't he?
-
The conspiracy theorist in me says this is a 'make up deal' for ripping off Beane so badly last time.
-
winning is awesome but lets be honest, he wasn't likely in the Cubs plans as I'm sure they want their 4th OF to be a good fielder, not one that is pretty much as bad as Schwarber and Soler may be. This is a win for Coghlan. He will get the chance to play everyday in Oakland, if he hits good he will be a FA and get his one and only chance for a payday. If he hits really good, contenders will be probably be interested in him at the deadline and he could play out his last arb year with a contender. For the Cubs, it has to be a straight dump...I probably valued Coghlan a little too much as I thought a 2 win player who is only 30 could get at least a slight better return than this Aaron Brooks guy.
-
I'm guessing Coghlan wanted it. Probably wants to play every day. Yuuuuuuuup. He was making rumblings along those lines for a while now. Yeah and I believe was the only major no show at Cubs Convention. I'm guessing Theo privately told him they would trade him. Frankly he deserves it, just not with us.

Now who is going to chuck up bricks in DRose's absence?

All Things Spring Training 2016 (except games)

[tweet] [/tweet] Damn, I was hoping they'd put Baez against Lackey -
Create a thread and see who is interested, ill give it a go.
-
I missed the first one but I did a triple take when I saw the second one. Couldn't believe that was Doug. Kid is definitely starting to get some confidence in his game.
-
Man I really hope the committee is open to taking 7 Big Ten teams because Wisconsin has their spot pretty much locked up
-
That and he had an entire offseason to get to know the team he would be coaching. I honestly think its just him having a senior moment, of which he's had plenty lately.
-
he done lost his mind
-
I'm sick of hearing them talk about it. My unfounded fear is that Theo wants to wait until the end of the season and if the Cubs win the World Series he will leave. I hope he doesn't but I remember his thing about staying in one place too long when he signed on with the Cubs.
-
More from Pace (he's speaking at the Combine) [tweet] [/tweet] Can't wait to read one day how 38 year old Shea McClellen's best days are ahead of him despite not being on an active roster for the better part of a decade
-
[tweet] [/tweet] I don't like where this is headed as I don't think there is any leverage gained in negotiations by threatening to let him go to FA. Edit: I will say that I took the scarier of the 2 tweets. The one before said that the Bears are actively negotiating with Alshon
-
i was driving in and heard it and i couldn't stop myself from texting in I almost drove off the road when they came to the conclusion that the Cubs gained 10 spots in the draft by signing Heyward and letting Fowler go.
-
Bruce Levine just said it Gallardo doesn't sign the Cubs get the 14th pick in the draft. :no: thank you score baseball expert
-
I watched a little bit of the game on Sunday. Seemed like he was driving to the rim a lot more which obviously is what you want to see from him. It is interesting that he seems to have started looking like the old Rose again once Butler went out. I'm sure part of it is coincidental based on him finally getting over the face injury.

How many times have you watched playoff highlights this winter?
UMFan83 replied to UMFan83's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Yes that inning changed me from being thinking "omg the Cardinals are going to pixie dust us into a series win" into "we're gonna win this thing" *prays I didnt say anything stupid in the game threads to dispute this* I was at Busch for that. Their fans were in full incredulous meltdown mode to the tune of "How can the CUBS do THIS to US?" I can only imagine. Things go to script for decades and then all the sudden they don't and its jarring. -
hmm and what is the thing that the White Sox and Bulls have in common? (Besides their little academy)
-
it'll be kinda anticlimactic for me on that end. i don't think that can get better than watching their reaction to literally getting donged into space in the playoffs. this x100

I don't know why they aren't trading Votto. He's 32 but still probably has the most value of anyone on last years Reds and because of his age isn't going to be on the next good Reds team
