    So much for Samardzija. This begins the death spiral for him. Remember when Rizzo, Castro and Shark were the core of the next great Cubs team?
  2. UMFan83
    So much for that positive run differential eh?
  3. UMFan83
    I last heard he was expected to miss the entire season and would possibly retire. Instead he's pitching in July rehab games.

    LOL Never change Amaro

    They sign 2014 contracts actually. Unless they're older, like Mejia. They may get a taste of EXST over the offseason and its possible if they're advanced enough, they could start out in Arizona. Highly doubtful though. More than one year in the Dominican League for those 2 would be a big disappointment. FWIW, Jimenez and Torres will both show up on BA's top 30. Likely in the late teens to mid 20 range. Parks said he'll consider both for his Cubs top 15. Generally a couple of the top 16-year olds start off in the complex leagues the year after they sign (for example, Baretto is in the GCL this year), but I feel like the Cubs under Theo seem are willing to go slower. Off the top of my head, Larry Suarez, Carlos Zambrano and Felix Pie are the only 16-year olds who signed and jumped to the AZL in their first year in the Cubs system. ETA: Forgot Felix Pie. thanks guys

    Someone with more knowledge please enlighten me. Where do the 16 year old international signees go from here? My assumption would be they would probably spend 2 years in the Dominican Academy before going over to AZL/rest of the minors? How long until they are considered actual prospects who slot in somewhere in a team's system ranking lists?

    (Stealing from Deadspin) He's never going to win the Cup now.
  8. UMFan83
    Considering the Brewers record this year, that's fine by me.

    Go Cubs x5

    Pujols still killing us

    yay barney
  12. UMFan83
    Meh, I guess that's favorable. However I have a hard time putting him behind the 4 rookies last year (Wilson, RG3, Luck, Kaepernick) and Schaub.
  13. UMFan83
    I would guess he was talking with them when news of the deal came out. Right. And its possible he was originally asking them about the Marmol trade that was made on the same day, and the convo shifted to the other deal the Cubs made that day. Just a guess.
  14. UMFan83
    Never change WSI
  15. UMFan83
    Go Cubs x4

    If the Cubs are one of the worst teams in baseball, what does that make the Sox, being 3.5 games worse than the Cubs currently?

    FYI if you have ad blocker installed, you can apparently get around the Paywall fairly easily. Someone just posted this on RealGM yesterday: http://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1262128&sid=7a0b106f766424ef6766b2288280a616 Edit: To make things easy, just add this link (with the *'s) to your adblock filter: *www.tribdss.com/assets/*

    Go Cubs x3 http://a.espncdn.com//photo/2013/0530/chi_g_cubs_mb_300.jpg PS looks like this game is on WCIU for the Cubs broadcast. The Trib's website said WGN but the program guide says the U.
  19. UMFan83
    Wood's probably not going to pitch either - he's scheduled to start the Sunday night game before the ASG. Don't they usually replace the guys that start on Sunday to the active roster? Maybe Shark has a shot of making it.

    Raisin wins the thread
  21. UMFan83
    Go Cubs! x2
  22. UMFan83
    whoops, i stand corrected after looking at the numbers.
  23. UMFan83
    Carlos Zambrano, Carlos Marmol, Ryan Dempster, Kerry Wood, Alfonso Soriano, Aramis Ramirez, Kosuke Fukudome, Geovany Soto Minor Leagues, Minor Leagues, Decent in Boston, Retired, Barely above replacement level, Still good, Back in Japan, Backup Catcher hitting .182 What a difference 5 years makes
  24. UMFan83
    2013: Travis Wood (1st and only) 2012: Starlin Castro (2nd), Bryan LaHair (1st and only) 2011: Starlin Castro (1st) 2010: Marlon Byrd (1st and only) 2009: Ted Lilly (1st and only) Illustrious crew there
  25. UMFan83
    Just announced on FOX. They havent announced the NL Reserve position players yet, but I'm assuming he is the Cubs lone all star, unless Bryan LaHair is available to be selected. Travis Wood: 5-6, 2.69 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, 110.1 IP, 80K, 33 BB, 3.51 FIP, 4.37 xFIP
