    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.

    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.

    nice, i'm beating all three of hendrywallet's teams. maybe he needs a fourth?

    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.

    Drop Schwarber add Judge

    Once you compare medical history between Gray and Quintana it's not even close.

    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?
  10. Bobson Dugnutt
    Which guy? Scott Feldman. In that case, I'm with wallet. Been regretting letting him get away for years.

    you also forgot jose quintana at 42. what an oversight.

    Rizzo and Quintana have to have two of the most team-friendly non-rookie/post-arb contracts, right?
  16. Bobson Dugnutt
    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.

    He's been much better recently. 2.70 ERA since the start of June.

    Those 2 quality starts are part of a run of having 4 quality starts out of 14. His ERA is 66th of 74 qualified starters, and his FIP is dead last. I agree they won't DFA him for Hendricks, but when they add another SP or maybe even when they get Anderson back he's not secure in his roster spot. EDIT: More to the point, I'd like to imagine that come 8/1 the rotation has Lester, Hendricks, trade acquisition, Arrieta, and Montgomery, with Butler back in Iowa in reserve and Anderson fulfilling Montgomery's previous role. The timing of Lackey's departure depends on several factors(when a trade happens, when Hendricks and Anderson are healthy), but I would hope that he's the one that doesn't have a home when the dust settles. I agree with this for the most part, but I'm betting on an extended DL stint rather than the Cubs cutting him. Given his relationship with Lester, I see them handling it as delicately as possible. He can sit on the DL through August and come back when rosters expand. That is, unless Lackey takes issue with this plan, in which case, they'll send him packing.

    Aren't nearly all of the outs he's made down there strikeouts?
  22. Bobson Dugnutt
    Yup, a big part of the appeal of Gausman is that you'd be able to hang onto all of your top trade chips and get back a guy with upside, youth, pretty clean health history and 4+ years of control.
  23. Bobson Dugnutt
    surprised no one's talking about this.
  24. Bobson Dugnutt
    in 2015 they did. My memory is terrible. Please forgive. I will never call out David in public again. http://i.imgur.com/dVDJiez.gif
  25. Bobson Dugnutt
    pretty sure that's james russell, not hammel. Those 3 never played together in 2015 they did.
