  1. Blake Rutherford, Ian Clarkin, Clippard and a 4th player the rumored package heading back to the White Sox.
  2. yeah but he also got picked off by jon lester, which basically cancels all that good stuff out.
  3. i was just wondering this morning if the cubs might make a push for him. he's got one year left after this year, which would make it easier to let davis walk. what type of package would the cubs have to put together? curious how the packages for him, hand, and wilson compare should they all get moved. i'd love to add any of the three.
  4. Is this the start of one of those 'Geovany Soto' things again? i guess so
  5. I remember when Ricky Nolasco hit what wound up being his peak and Pinto and Mitre looked like they'd be useful for awhile, that I thought the Pierre trade was going to be looked back on as a disaster. Pierre was a dud Was he? I mean, yeah, Hendry's reasoning and execution of trading for just a single season are pretty clunky at best, but the dude was a 3.1 fWAR player that season for the Cubs. The 2006 Cubs were butt, but maybe it's time to look back a bit more positively on ol' Slappy. yeah when you brought that up recently it blew my mind that he provided that much value. i remember him being pretty universally loathed around these parts back then.
  6. wow i thought they retired bob howry's number. Whoa, hey; I thought this was a family board. sorry i meant bob horsefeathers.
  7. wow i thought they retired bob howry's number.
  8. as much as i've railed against acquiring gray, i don't really have much problem trading almora for him. i don't think almora as the lead piece is enough, though.
  9. nice, i'm beating all three of hendrywallet's teams. maybe he needs a fourth?
  10. Bumgarner's is really good ($12M in each of next 2 seasons), but, yes. Without looking it up I'm guessing Rizzo's is the biggest steal among such contracts in baseball. You guys ever hear of Chris Sale? hmmm, nope. tell me about him.
  11. Once you compare medical history between Gray and Quintana it's not even close.
  12. I've been trying to guess what else is on the Cubs shopping list for this deadline, and what deals are still possible after flipping Eloy & Cease. Backup C? LHRP? Another starter, probably more in the Monty 2016 mold? All of the above? Still all for Gausman if you're talking about someone like Monty 2016. this is exactly who i keep coming back to in my mind since he's been brought around here quite a bit. in a hypothetical Gausman deal, does he go to the pen or the minors for the remainder of the year?
  13. Which guy? Scott Feldman. In that case, I'm with wallet. Been regretting letting him get away for years.

  15. you also forgot jose quintana at 42. what an oversight.
  16. Rizzo and Quintana have to have two of the most team-friendly non-rookie/post-arb contracts, right?
  17. While trading Eloy eliminates a source of cheap offensive production, penciling in Quintana at his stupidly cheap salaries adds a source of cheap pitching production (to go along with Hendricks and Monty) for the next few years. That gives a bit more flexibility to play with in the upcoming offseasons, not being forced to pay big bucks for 2 post-prime starting pitchers. I was extremely considered about the long term starting pitching outlook, and now that concern is almost completely gone. Also, as much as I like Cease, I feel next to no regret giving him up. Given the health history, the range of possibilities of what he can eventually become is so wide that I just can't get myself to care about losing him. Losing Eloy is sad because I really loved him as a prospect, but the more I think about it, the more I really like this deal.
  18. He's been much better recently. 2.70 ERA since the start of June.
