    If we are willing to take Gyorko and his salary (who by the way has a .880 OPS against lefties this year and .785 and a .688 OPS overall on the road so we might be able to get some use out of him), I bet, we could cut Underwood out of the deal.

    Thanks Obama

    [tweet] [/tweet] Not sure if that's just Phil speculating or something he heard

    I could easily see that quote from Maddon being taken as "Relax, you aren't sitting today because your being traded, its just a day off"

    At this point, Kennedy/Gallardo/Leake/Haren are probably the options. Is Ross off the market? That still seems like the most likely unless I missed some news
  6. UMFan83
    Really hope they don't extend him so the Cubs have a shot in the offseason. If he does get extended who does that leave this offseason? Cueto, Gallardo, Kazmir, Kennedy, Lackey, Latos, Samardzija, Zimmerman Still some good names out there, but a lot less sexy without price

    Woo hoo Michigan with 1 vote! Illinois with 7 votes..ok that makes me feel less good.

    It wouldnt surprise me if the dodgers give him his 200 million before the offseason either. There's absolutely no way that Friedman gives up Urias. That asking price is nuts for a 2 month rental of David Price. I'm assuming they wouldnt agree to that price unless they agreed to an extension with him before the deal is made

    They didn't get a competitive balance pick this year, though it was total luck that they didn't. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2015/07/2016-competitive-balance-draft-results.html Good, but either way its ridiculous that the Cardinals have an opportunity for one each year. Why are they basing this on "10 smallest markets" and not "10 smallest revenue teams"? Because while St. Louis metro is relatively small their regional fan base is gigantic, and now with a top 10 revenue TV deal it becomes even more ridiculous that they would receive an extra 1st or 2nd round pick almost every season on top of TV revenue that is probably double what the Cubs get.

    Well this should allow them to sign their annual competitive balance pick and fit them into their $150m+ future payroll

    He's having a terrible season. Will be interesting to see the angst from us if/when he goes on a tear with STL

    Meh the Padres are up big and Ross threw 83 pitches. It could just as much be protecting him in case of a future trade as it is an actual trade
  15. UMFan83
    good just in time for the cubs to come up there I'd rather him stay in Milwaukee and not going to one of our 2 competitors for a playoff spot
  16. UMFan83
    hmmm schwarbs will have to be in LF. Ross to the bench (even on lester starts) Yeah but we know that's not going to happen, and Coughlan has been like our 3rd best hitter this year.
  17. UMFan83
    I'll just make this the Montero update thread [tweet] [/tweet] [tweet] [/tweet] So an admittedly less than 100% Montero wants to rush back and kick Schwarbs to the bench.

    Starlin wishes he could have Bryant's .687 OPS over the last 30 days. Edit: God I hate the new run scoring environment in baseball where I think "well he nearly has a .700 OPS so he's not in that bad of a slump I guess".
  19. UMFan83
    Another WT out. What is that like 10 this homestand?
  20. UMFan83
    Terrible AB for Bryant
  21. UMFan83
    Hmm that made me a little nervous when I saw that it was Schwarber and he didnt look like he had a great read on it.
  22. UMFan83
    14 Ks is one off his career high.
  23. UMFan83
    I'm not sure he's even had a chance in this game other than fielding singles from Reyes in the 1st and the one just a minute ago.
  24. UMFan83
    I think he was safe
  25. UMFan83
    When did the Blue Jays switch to purple jerseys with the word "Colorado" on it?
