    That one probably did make an actual "DONG"

    while you were gone i was looking for an old post of yours and instead found your "theo is a condescending horsefeathers" rant from fall 2014 that i had completely forgotten about Sounds about right; he's a [expletive] who has done great things. You know who else can't admit when they are disastrously wrong? Trump.

    Why are we looking for a backup catcher?
  4. Tim
    I'd feel better with more runs.
  5. Tim
    Other than maybe the last 2 times thru the rotation the lead probably won't be big enough this year to risk it hahahaha
  6. Tim
    hahaha - they're starting a lefty against us.

    They're going to be sellers by the deadline.

    Steele's line is weird. I looked at the 6:1 K:BB ratio and was thinking it might have just been an unlucky outing. But then I see 3 HBP and 2 WP. So I guess he was mostly in the zone, but when he missed, he missed really badly?

    Just trade for Verlander, Avila and Wilson and get it all done at once

    There's still another week. I could still be right about them being sellers at the deadline. I was definitely right that they suck.

    idk why i thought that was the cubs.com thing i remember going on the espn boards for jose vidro trade rumors. mike lowell and luis castillo too. It was a cubs.com thing.

    They may still sell by the deadline.

    Unless they think he's hurt or his arm is about to explode, I'm not a big fan of this logic, since it applies nearly equally to every team and player that could be traded. i just don't see why a team that is trending upward (and appears to be in the process of turning a corner on big league results) with a lot of young talent coming up would be looking to sell low on a 26 year old starter who has had success in the past. i'm not saying it's blanket logic that can be applied everywhere or anything, but this specific case is odd to me. Well, they have quite a few pitching prospects that are at various stages of readiness. If they feel they could get similar production from one or more of them while also getting a healthy return for Teheran, then there's logic there. But my overall resistance to Teheran is well established.

    Even excluding the defense he's following up a 2016 season wRC+ of 96 with a 90. That makes him what? A 1 win player for almost $18m? What about the previous 8 seasons? He's worlds away from that player because....? The contract is also kind of a non-issue. $18 million doesn't even really get you a couple wins in FA anymore, and it's already a crappy FA class to shop for OFs (Jay's an upcoming FA, Almora's bat is still far from something to be relied on on a team this ready to win). Getting a guy with Jones' upside for just 1.5 years at that price is pretty sweet. The plusses with Jones: - Cleans up the OF this year and improves next year's OF depth immediately. Jay has a clear backup and specialist role with him, Cubs add a RH power hitter between their two LHH COFs. - Low commit, high upside contract - HRs from up the middle - Lots of experience in playoff and playoff-esque environments The negatives: - Was last a clear first division starter all the way back in 2015 - Entered his 30s - Not a high OBP guy You'll have to work harder to convince me he is better than happ.

    A Britton/Davis back of the pen would be pretty amazing.
  16. Tim
    everybody is fixed!!!
  17. Tim
    Take a guy that throws 98 in the seventh inning of his starts, put him in the pen for the rest of the year. Then try to fix him in the offseason. He's got Arrieta-like potential. He's controllable until 2021.
  18. Tim
    I think the O's should give up on Gausman and just let him leave town with us. They can keep Almora.
  19. Tim
    DONG DONG
  20. Tim
    DONG!

    What's this now? There a poster connected to the Cubs who did this? this may have been pre nsb, I don't remember the details of how it happened, but it was probably more of an error in distribution by the cubs than a poster that worked for the cubs. I gave out the draft conference call number to some people once or twice.

    *now* Paredes will make most top 10s

    We would get much much less for Lester. Contract matters.
