Cuban on WSCR this morning - "Hell yea, I want it"
Outshined_One replied to David's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
The shareholders know the offers on the table. They're the ones who matter in the publicly held corporation. It's a requirement in every state, to my knowledge. Corporations have a fiduciary duty to their investors in these situations to accept the highest bid (with limitations that likely won't apply here). If MLB comes in and rejects the highest bidder, they will be facing a lawsuit from shareholders that will be unbelievably costly. It's going to be fascinating to keep an eye on in the coming months. -
Ronny Cedeno. Thank you. I was thinking it, but didn't want to come out and say it. :lol:

The problem with finding those kinds of guys is that they are so incredibly valuable to teams. The advantage of having a great SS is that the guy almost certainly has the goods to play pretty much any position if he's blocked. Asdrubal Cabrera for the Indians is a guy I'd absolutely love to have with Peralta blocking him. However, the Indians can easily shift him to another position and still get good defense and good offensive production out of him. Getting guys like that who are cheap, productive, and play the most valuable position well is next to impossible. The best the Cubs can do if they want to look young is to find someone who is talented, undervalued, and could still play in the majors next season. At the time he was traded, Hanley Ramirez was a good prospect, but there were questions about whether some facets of his game would develop enough to make him a good everyday player. Had Boston known just how much and how quickly he'd have developed, they would never have traded him. The thing is, I honestly can't think of anyone who fits that bill.

Link Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

I'm not so sure about this with respect to Kendall, depending on what type of FA designation he gets. Lots of teams need catchers and love having veterans behind the dish. If he gets Type A, a team that sees this upcoming draft as not being particularly deep would be fine plunking down some change for Kendall instead of sinking that money into a draft pick. If he gets Type B, nobody loses a draft pick and it might make him easier to move.

I napped and assembled a bookcase. I feel better now.

I'm hoping the fans trash the field. This team deserves it.

An angry mime would also be acceptable.

I'm hoping for an Indians/Rockies WS that ends up being cancelled due to snow.

Dick Stockton needs to shut up.

DP coming.

hahahahahahahaha yeah right

Here's my beef... I can palate losing to Webb. He's one of the five best pitchers in the NL and is a legit ace. If you lose to him, it's most likely because he's good rather than your team being bad. But losing to Doug [expletive] Davis? Losing to Livan Hernandez whose arsenal consists of meatballs and gopherballs? Both pitched like crap against the Cubs...but again and again, they gave the Cubs enough rope to hang themselves with. This was a piss-poor showing from an offense we all thought showed some signs of living up to its potential. The offense played HORRIBLY in this series. Heads need to roll for this showing; it's sickening.

I want to die.

Weak grounder for a double play, weak grounder for a double play, weak grounder for a double play... Getting a little old, guys.

Nope Clearly safe Yup :) Why are you happy?

I recant my previous position. Yeesh.
-
WHAT!?
-
This has been a full-fledged ass kicking rather than a series defined by a fluke play or moment. This team sucked, plain and simple.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

They're going to have a rather tough time with the pending sale. They'll have to be creative and I, for one, am going to be intrigued in seeing Jim Hendry think outside of the box. If it's a box of Krispy Kremes, we're screwed.

Actually, they did.

L-V-P! L-V-P!

Lee, where was this in Games 1 and 2?

That's #2 on my list of all-time favorite Z moments, behind that game he plunked Edmonds in the rear twice.
