I feel like Rizzo kinda looks like Santo and I never noticed that before http://media.masslive.com/redsox_impact/photo/anthony-rizzo-jon-lester-68236dd5e1884e5d.jpg http://bioproj.sabr.org/bp_ftp/images4/SantoRon.jpg

it's weird how ssr morphs into ptr when he runs out of money

It's still the only storyline that makes sense to me. honestly it makes no sense to me that we would be SO cash strapped that we haven't spent anything of significance if we aren't trying to keep that money free for harper (or machado i guess)
-
Having him show up at the Convention didn't happen, so we might as well hope for spring training. If that doesn't happen, we can hope for opening day. at least he hasn't shown up anywhere for anyone else yet either
-
There's still like 5% of me that wishfully thinks we swoop in and get him in the end. Picture how horsefeathering awesome it would be to actually see that play out and have him show up at spring training in a couple weeks.
-
I'll pick on David since he's far from the worst offender, but the uptick of people in the minor league forum loudly proclaiming how much they don't care about the minor leaguers(or worse, loudly claiming no one should) is weird. It's okay to like prospects even when the team is good, and even if there isn't a system full of Kris Bryants to follow. If that's not your thing that's fine, the entire forum is partitioned off for your benefit! active topics for life if the prospects were actually good i wouldn't call them dorks for now they are all dorks
-
and the use of that term goes all the way back to gflore34 saying a "healthy kris bryant makes all the difference in the world" like that's a thing that is anywhere near automatically going to happen
-
healthy can mean "as healthy as he's gonna get" and not necessarily the same guy he was before the injury. Now you're making beeping sounds as you back up from your point. no, you're right, the entire time i meant that kris bryant MIGHT make up for javy's regression if he reverts back to an 8 win player, because that's obviously what i meant by "healthy"
-
by all accounts, yu darvish is "healthy" right now. that doesn't mean he's going to go put up a season like he had a few years ago (though i'm sure as horsefeathers hopeful he will)
-
I think people are expressing doubts about his health more than questioning how productive he can be when healthy. Nope, that's not what they're saying. healthy can mean "as healthy as he's gonna get" and not necessarily the same guy he was before the injury.
-
rest didn't help all that much last year i'm far from some doom boner alarmist, but there is a non-zero chance that he is permanently broken or at least that the ceiling on his production dropped significantly. and i feel like calling it non-zero might be underselling it.
-
not that i care all that much about these minor league dorks, but it would seem that the fact that he's still active at all would be an indication that it's not that serious an injury
-
a healthy kris bryant just hopefully makes up for the likely regression from the superstar version of javy baez we unexpectedly got in 2018. Going from the 2 WAR version of Bryant to the 8 WAR version of Bryant would do a lot more than cover for regression from Baez. aiming a little high are we?
-
i cannot for the life of me understand the mindset of the fan that (either rationalizing or bc they really somehow believe this) thinks "actually the cubs not even trying to sign a once in a generation free agent is not terrible" if they're not using it to pay manny machado or bryce harper, of all players, they're saving it for their own pockets. that is not better.
-
Did we not know weeks ago a Harper signing was financially impossible? Harper or no Harper a healthy Kris Bryany makes all the difference in the world. I also believe the Cubs will get quite a bit more from one of or both of Darvish and Chatwood in '19 than '18. a healthy kris bryant just hopefully makes up for the likely regression from the superstar version of javy baez we unexpectedly got in 2018.

if the whole loan covenant thing was real, that's over now too, right?
