Cubs fans are never happy. The Cubs could win the World Series and there would still be complaining going on here. Would you still be complaining about the complainers? I would've preferred Moustakas/Heywood/Wieters, but let's not lose sight of the fact of the uncertainty here. This isn't free agency where we have a pretty good idea who's going to give you what, there's a crapload of variability in how these guys are going to turn out. -
Time to start hoping Porcello and/or Wieters drop like a rock.
-
Are they including the Sandwich round with the 5 minute rule?
-
Selfish request: Once the Cubs make their pick, can somebody start a thread about it for all the reactions? I'm probably one of at least several that can only check in, and keeping the "Actual Draft Thread" mostly about the picks made would be helpful IMO.
-
Well, if we're not going to take Moustakas, at least I'll feel better if he's already off the board.
-
There's seemingly no chance of it, but Moustakas is the guy I like.
-
assuming Price is gone, who would you take for the Cubs?

I think I read something that he wants a Teixeira style deal. That and we don't have an owner. I'd like to see Moustakas. -
Kerry Wood redux ? When did Kerry Wood have good command of the fastball? The day he struck out twenty Astros Well, that day he could've yelled to the Astro hitters, "I'm going to throw my curveball now", and they still would've looked like cartoon characters trying to hit it.

Count your blessings. Despite the weak 2 seed, the East is loaded.

Sorted by post count.

He wasn't healthy, they released him early in Spring Training.

Mets "Covet" Z

Yes, because Hendry has such a poor track record with trading players There's a difference between trading for a player(Lee, Ramirez, Barrett, Pierre(whoops!), Nomar) and trading away a player(Sosa, Patterson, Maddux). Hendry is awful at the latter, and that's what he'd be doing with Z. -

Pretty swimmingly, since Zito is a Giant. -

Milledge and Pelfrey, then use Milledge or Pie as part of a deal to get Teixeira. -
The Indians don't do stupid things like call up their best pitching prospect before he's big league ready for stupid reasons like "need more control in middle relief", or "we can just extend him later". I agree, they didn't have Carmona up last year getting shelled in the pen... Carmona was pitching better than Gallagher is at a higher level when he was called up. It was also his second season at AAA after 2 seasons at AA. Not even remotely comparable. just noticed this. not sure how you can have it both ways between your defense of the way they broke in Colon, and the way they broke in this guy. Carmona was not pitching very well before being called up. nice peripherals, but a 5.53 ERA in six starts. how that's all that much better than Gallaghers start at AA this year, I don't know. You said it yourself, peripherals. Better walk rate with a similar K rate and WHIP, and again, at a higher level after he spent a full year in AAA, and large parts of 2 years in AA.
-
Seriously?
-
Thanks blue, we didn't want Pie on first base anyway.
-
No way that's a strike, come on

The Indians also let Sabathia continue to start games, and it was at the beginning of the season when they decided to give him a rotation spot.

There's got to be somebody better than Doolittle available at 48.

Geez, Pie and now Floyd hammer pitches right at outfielders.
