That was almost a dealbreaker for me and my burgeoning understanding of sabermetrics back in the day. same. i loved shawon and was heartbroken when he went to the giants.
i just looked at mookie wilson's career stats (i don't think i ever had) and i had no idea he wasn't very good reminds me of when i discovered how shitty shawon dunston was
I'm sure I'll be excited when stuff starts happening and it starts feeling more and more like spring...I even managed to get excited for the tank seasons to start. Otherwise, I won't be unless we get an awesome surprise Harper signing.
holy horsefeathers you're right i mainly only remember it because i had my hopes crushed when he didn't even get a call up and i spent all of spring training imagining him dominating for us like he did in LA
i feel like mentioning the 58mph base line like this is more than a little silly considering his arm was in tatters but whatever, here's an article on driveline and kyle zimmer [tweet]

Stop with this nonsense and just horsefeathering sign somewhere, mystery team? What the horsefeathers is this, the Dating Game? is this your first encounter with the mystery team?
Hard to top whatever number reliever you consider this. http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/25893836/inside-37-year-old-pitcher-luke-hagerty-improbable-comeback-story This was my guess as well The tweet has nothing to do with this, if that's what you're suggesting
one of the more prominent cubs bloggers who has claimed sources before Why does no one post his tweets but we have 87 Charles the Cat tweets? viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1166&p=325376&hilit=devanaltman#p325376
there has to be something on Netflix you can watch the pass the time, right baseball mogul lost me when i realized i had to set righty/lefty lineups well, i don't have to, but i'm a lunatic so i feel like i have to
Yeah, Philly really put themselves out there with their "we're going to spend stupid money" thing, and if they land neither of the big fish, they'll have some clean up to do on the PR side not really
Maybe they just told the truth because not everything is a Machiavellian min-maxing strategy. what do they have to lose by letting boras throw their name in? these are the most slam dunk theo/cubs targets ever. and their name is always in on the biggest FAs.
the other weird thing is why are we not at least pretending we're interested...what reason is there behind putting the message out there that they are in a budget crunch? why piss off your fans when you can make it look like you tried and you just didn't win out? none of it makes sense to me. there has to be something going on that goes beyond what the media is saying.
