  1. Don't worry, we're going to draft a HS kid with our first round pick this year who may or may not work out and he'll be here to help in 6 years.
  2. I think a 4 game sweep to the White Sox would be enough to turn even the meatballs against Ricketts. :beg:
  3. I think it's time for Mike Olt to see Des Moines.
  4. Not really concerned even if they lose Friday. Hold serve at home.
  5. The offense might suck now but wait until Javier Baez and his 40% K rate and Albert Almora and his 2 walks in 90 at-bats get into the lineup. And Soler will eventually be here if he's not dead.
  6. Gordon Beckham continues to only get hits against the Cubs
  7. So Hector Noesi is going to kill us today? Alright. At least we aren't relying on a guy who has a 40% K rate in AAA to be the savior!
  8. Have no problem with this if he's the BPA

  10. Why is this the new thing now? The fact that the Rays got good in 2008 didn't make the previous 10 years of garbage baseball any less garbage-y. If the Astros get good with their merry band of prospects, it won't change the fact that they played [expletive] teams for like 5 years in a row on purpose. You can be aware of what the 'plan' is and still not like that you have to watch terrible teams for years waiting for it to hopefully work. [expletive], if we turn into a big market Rays, the 10 years of losing would be completely worth it. As it stands now, the Rays are looking at 4 playoff seasons in 7 years. If we lose for 10 years to get that, that's not a great result. They've also had to deal with the AL East at it's peak during those 7 years and working with a limited budget.

  12. At this point, competing for 80 wins would be a win in my book.
  13. I think this regular season would be much more tolerable to this point if every prospect the Cubs are banking on wasn't dead or sucking. Outside of Kris Bryant, I'm really getting concerned. I know Javier Baez has had slow starts at pretty much every level he's been at but he's making Brett Jackson look like Ted Williams right now. Almora can't draw a walk to save his life. Soler may or may not be dead. CJ Edwards is dead. I will say our bullpen is beginning to come together with the exception of Grimm tonight. But it's really concerning that the Cubs are just going to bank on these prospects to be the saviors. Feel like it's a really bad idea.
  14. Nate Schierholtz is 167th among qualified players in WAR. Dead last.
  15. So glad they used Wesley Wright as a LOOGY for that.
  16. 6 balls in that at-bat, ends in a strikeout. Starlin is "back".
