  1. :| and I have to see Lester again . . . he better not suck this time! Is there a place to see the projected rotation through the Cubs @ Rockies? http://www.northsidebaseball.com/tools/cubs-schedule That's how far out I have it going. That comes from what I scrape from MLB
  2. lol - with what?
  3. Damn, why? It seems to be the only cards site with decent conversation.
  4. I think it will be Cahill if he's deemed ready.
  5. I just think that a guy like Lucroy is going to be worth a lot more to other teams than the Cubs. Our catching situation this year and next isn't that desperate. However, he represents a huge and certain upgrade for teams like the Rangers, Astros or Tigers. They should be willing to pay more than us because he is worth more to them. Not only are they getting much less from the catcher position, not only do they not have good solutions for next year, but they are all fighting for their playoff lives. Lucroy would increase all of their odds a heck of a lot more than he'd increase ours.
  6. I'll donate. Where else do I get the chance to ban people? Bless you, good sir.
  7. Everyone, If you have considered donating to NSB, I'd ask you to please make it today or tomorrow. My business, quite frankly, has hit a cash crunch for a variety of reasons. The server fees are due tomorrow. I expect everything to get back on track soon, so if we can hit our target here I won't have to hit you gents and ladies up for the rest of the year. Thank you for supporting the site!
  8. Have faith in Schwarb's rebuilt knee? I have to think Schwarber the catcher is mostly dead, definitely dead to the extent that you could count on him catching more than once a week or so in 2017. I think if you want to even do the Schwarbs at catcher once a week thing, it is hard to invest significant other assets at catcher, though. I think they'll go the route of a David Ross type that brings experience, leadership and defense if they ditch Montero. I think the most likely scenario is that they plan to go into next year with Contreras + Montero, with a question mark on Schwarbs being back there once in a while if his knees can take it.
  9. I believe in Willson quite a bit long term, although if things don't tick up a bit with Montero, I'm a little worried about next season specifically. Finding another C that's good enough for Contreras insurance but not a waste of resources(since he wouldn't be an outright starter) isn't going to be a particularly easy task. Have faith in Schwarb's rebuilt knee?
  10. I have a lot of faith in Willson. I don't want to spend the assets it would take to get Lucroy.
  11. Good God no.
  12. those go back to back on a normal july day
  13. Has Bryant played the OF since the collision?
  14. https://www.facebook.com/NorthSideBaseball/
  15. Maybe I should update my article...
  16. No. I want to know why Baez likes that high, outside pitch so much You mean the one he walked on in the 8th?
  17. No one would pull Chapman there. No. One.
  18. From a baseball perspective, it is easy to see the value in the trade.
  19. Yeah, if he's doing this on purpose, he should go back to what worked a lot better.
  20. Familia blew another save today against the Rockies.
