    Gaaah. It didn't seem that bad though. Probably precautionary.
  2. UMFan83
    I am enjoying this start
  3. UMFan83
    He's been an injury prone pitcher with inconsistent results throughout his career. He's having his first extended stretch of success. We have a fair bit of control remaining. I'd let it ride unless "reasonable" was "too good to refuse" The issue is that Boras is his client. What Jake/Boras is saying is "reasonable" might not be reasonable to the Cubs. At the same time, if we let him ride out his control, we will probably never pay him beyond that if he pitches like he's pitching now. I'd give it one more year and if he's pitching at even 90% of the level he is now, then lock him up.

    So according to Wittmeyer Arrieta is open to a "reasonable" extension. Do we need to see more, or do we lock him up as soon as we can?
  5. UMFan83
    Who would you rather have for the next 5 years: Hendricks or Arrieta?
  6. UMFan83
    I hate that Rizzo, Alcantara and Baez aren't hitting all that well at the same time.
  7. UMFan83
    Admittedly don't catch many ABs but man if all of them are like that, Baez will never walk. It looks like he's just guessing up there.
  8. UMFan83
    Yeah but only if you don't request before the deadline in March and only if you aren't changing teams.
  9. UMFan83
    Looks like James Russell still can't get lefties out

    Would it beat a team of players the Bulls were favorites to land? Nobody could beat the Bulls FA 2nd place finishes. They are the dream team of FA 2nd place finishes. PG: LeBron James SG: Kobe Bryant SF: Carmelo Anthony PF: Kevin Garnett C: Chris Bosh BN: Dwyane Wade, Kevin Love, younger Pau Gasol

    Fun fact: We've gone 3-1 in our last 4 Jaxon A+B starts, with 4 quality starts

    He's going to be the best of them all. This is why I was wondering why everyone was so down on him in the offseason. The dude just oozes talent. If he can stay on the field he's a top 10 prospect IMO possibly top 3
  14. UMFan83
    We've played 19 extra innings of baseball over our last 12 games and counting
  15. UMFan83
    Really good defensively, making a reasonable amount of contact. .288 BABIP is probably a smidge low for his skill set. But he's not going to hit for huge average. He's going to draw walks, hit for average power, run the bases well, and play good defense. Thanks. I obviously know BA is not any sort of legit measuring stick but I didn't make the effort to look up the full statistical breakdown. 4-5 wins is excellent
  16. UMFan83
    That was anticlimactic
  17. UMFan83
    Someone who watches the Cubs more than me: how has Alcantara looked recently? I see his average has dipped below .230. Is he having good ABs?
  18. UMFan83
    Javi gets at least 1 hit in 5 of his first 6 games.
  19. UMFan83
    Did you miss that whole thing? Yeah I must have. Just caught up reading about his bullpen session at MMP and all the Astros players bitching about it.
  20. UMFan83
    How the hell was he promoted to AA after an ERA of almost 10 in High A??
  21. UMFan83
    He's not racing now
  22. UMFan83
    I think it's just that white kids are doing this now
  23. UMFan83
    47 HR, not 38 :)
  24. UMFan83
    Well only 3 Javi Ks today. An improvement
  25. UMFan83
    Out of his six straight K's, three were chasing awful pitches, two were getting overwhelmed by stuff in the zone, one was being overly patient and looking at hittable strikes. Thanks
