I'm sitting next to Toni Kukoc on a plane right now. Funny because I was arguing about them vs Heat, him vs Bosh in particular, a couple days ago. Toni says they would destroy them (not that he'd say anything else). Really nice guy. Still lives in Highland Park.

Can you show the comments?

Current development. I'd much rather take the chance of a high reward.

I can't watch right now, ugh. Olt again?

B-ref was using Total Zone for defensive metrics, while FG was using UZR, which is more reliable. They were also calculating replacement level differently. Replacement level is the same now though. Fangraphs WAR is way better either way.

Well, sure, but he's going to be harder to get.

He didn't get built like that eating Girl Scout Cookies. [expletive] swoon I badly want him to be a Cub.

BA & MLB.com's Cubs Top 10 Prospects
SABR Gamer replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
That was with Tanaka at #4. So they are really one higher. -
Lol. Okay, Mr. Average.

2014 Draft Discussion

Hell no. -
Buy more steroids!

Because of the endorsements? He did a bang up job of getting Super Bowl MVP against a Bears defense missing Tommie Harris and Mike Brown. And he wasn't even the most valuable Colt in that game. Peyton can go to hell. When he threw that pick 6 to Tracey Porter in his second SB appearance I was very pleased. I'm never going to root for that guy. Yes I'm bitter. What the hell? I was explaining why he annoys me. If you think it is crazy talk, you are correct. But it is how I feel. FTFY.

You sound like a spoiled brat.

If you're a Colts fan, that's pretty embarrassing.

I love that man.

Spending more overall than what? I believe you are saying that if we sign Tanaka it's a sign that we are spending more money. But only in the context of this offseason rather than every one before that. If we sign Tanaka, to me it's not an indication ownership is prepared to spend a bunch more. It just seems they are prepared to spend the same amount on payroll and not add to it. Thus, we are in the same spot as always in our quest to be run like the Dodgers. I do fear I'm sounding like an idiot here and missing your total point. http://www.netmeister.org/blog/images/implied-facepalm.jpg

...and you're not the only one.

So, you want to be run like the present day Dodgers? Me, too. Because we'd have needed a lot more than just Pujols, and those others moves would have been expensive. I'm all for that. But until I see we spend money like that, it's an issue. But signing Tanaka...would be...spending money...like....that *Head explodes* And still not having a huge payroll. Can we do it again after doing it with Tanaka? And again? Again? Again? That's when we are the Dodgers. I hope we can. You won't start spending more/having a bigger payroll until you start signing guys like Tanaka. You've created this weird catch-22 where they should avoid signing him because they haven't signed guys like him recently; wouldn't signing him be a sign they're spending more? Logic is hard, bro.

Or maybe we combined it with other moves, made the playoffs in 2012 season with his 3.7 wins at first, and as a result have $60m more in ticket sales and Tanaka actually thinks we're a desirable destination.

-
I know. To me this is about getting games on basic cable in another state & not needing to pay extra. Is that more important to you than having a better team on the field?
-
MLB.tv is very affordable. You aren't a Cubs fan if that's a serious argument. If you can't afford it, you aren't affording the trip to Chicago to see a game at Wrigley once this team is good.

SABR Gamer replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk

Just trying to stay positive. You know if I start pulling the routine then I think there's a chance. Keep up the good work. I've witnessed the magic. Carry on.
