    Those of you who advocated trading Seiya should hang your heads in shame.
  2. Outshined_One
    Yessssssssss
  3. Outshined_One
    All I ask is that he annihilates A-ball and starts next season in AA. Too much, I know, but damnit, I want some more fun power bats in this system.
  4. Outshined_One
    Holy crap that's a jump for Hudson. I get that he was an SEC senior with a polished bat and approach, but still.

    I mentioned this elsewhere, but a low key benefit of this deadline is it cleared a path for a lot of guys throughout the farm system. Kepley was just promoted to AA, but it also opened the way for the Fernando Cruzes of the world to be promoted and see regular time to finish out the season.

    That was Cabrera this past offseason, and the results have been decidedly muddled so far. Detmers should be available this offseason if the Cubs want to take another go at him.

    I agree they're the favorite, but I just can't shake the feeling that upgrading their rotation without adding to their offense or bullpen was a mistake.
  8. Outshined_One
    I stand by my earlier statement that the Dodgers are not the inevitable WS Champs. They might win it, but they can be beaten, and their failure to get a notable bat at the TDL might come back to haunt them.
  9. Outshined_One
    The post-TDL promotion spree should be fun to watch. That said, I'll be tempted to drop Kepley off my Top 10 if they don't promote him to AA this week. I'm sure Knoxville has a scrappy CF that can be kicked up to Iowa now that Bateman's been traded to make room.

    I know LA's rotation is killer, but that pen is beatable and their offense is currently sporting a Kyle Tucker-sized hole. They'll be able to mix and match pitchers based on matchups in the playoffs, which should fix their pen issues (?), but I'm not ready to crown them de facto WS champs.

    Cerami is usually spot-on and there were others backing him up, so odds are there was a deal in place that got pulled for an unknown reason, and usually that happens because someone's medicals didn't check out.
  12. Outshined_One
    ...we have a guy with sources? Wow, we've really gone places since scaring off Bruce Miles.
  13. Outshined_One
    Welcome!
  14. Outshined_One
    The only thing that gives me pause is medicals, because that's usually what muddles these deals at the last minute.

    The only name that would irk me is Ramirez. Detmers fills a huge spot in the rotation and gives the Cubs flexibility in the offseason when Boyd and Shota are FAs. I'm good with them overpaying.
  17. Outshined_One
    Kicking the Detmers discussion over to its own thread. Enjoy!

  19. Outshined_One
    That's more like it.
  20. Outshined_One
    Are the medicals on the Dodgers' rotation worse than they're letting on publicly? Yamamoto-Wrobleski-Glasnow was a pretty darn good 1-2-3 even before they added Skubal. They really, really need bullpen help and someone in the OF who can Old Yeller Kyle Tucker. Bubic makes no sense.
  21. Outshined_One
    Considering the Cubs were hot after Cabrera and Gore last TDL, it would be darkly amusing to see them actually get Gore this go-round. Only thing is the Rangers are 2.5 back in the division and 1.5 back in the WC, and their pitching is kinda meh. Not sure what a deal between the two would look like.
  22. Outshined_One
    Let's consolidate everything down; we can start new threads for big deals and Cubs deals, but have a day of thread!
  23. Outshined_One
    Fine fine fine. Boss man might do something different, but for now I'll muck around.

    Did we end up keeping Brett's brother Patrick?
