    Truckloads of cash and draft picks. Do it. This article says multiple firsts plus. I’m in. It would fill one of the few glaring holes on roster for the long term with an elite young player at a critical position, and could put them in the playoffs this year. Basically name a price and I’d pay. https://bearswire.usatoday.com/2018/08/01/chicago-bears-khalil-mack-oakland-raiders-trade/ That's kind of how I'd feel

    ok so what'll it take to take khalil mack

    Javy was +2000 to win last week i know and if i weren't so averse to dealing with bovada's cash out nonsense (they sent me some crazy canadian check that nobody wanted to cash out for me last time) i'd put a little money on that. also the early results have gotten better since i said that.

    you and derwood have mentioned his "antics" and how that rubs old time guys the wrong way, but i haven't heard anything but praise from even most old timey guys probably because, despite being flashy, he is really horsefeathering good at little things nobody else usually even notice. harold reynolds could barely contain himself when describing the bunt singles and the steals of home and the thought that went into them. i've definitely heard stuff about the "antics" from fans of other teams (and a couple anonymous quotes from players he has probably pissed off), but i haven't seen many in the media who *don't* seem to praise/love on him (short of maybe some dildo local broadcasters like thom). he has something for everyone.

    I'll say this much...I think the early results are highly underselling his shot.

    Ruben Quevedo and Amaury Telemaco were both less than stellar. man when amaury took that no hitter into the 8th in his debut, i thought for sure he was destined for the HOF so i decided to check myself on this https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN199605160.shtml i was a little off...he pitched 7 innings of one hit ball, lost the no-no in the 6th.

    for the record, i voted yes. i'm feeling like there's momentum headed that way and he's probably got the highest q rating of any of the people in the conversation (as far as the popularity contest part goes). i could easily see it going arenado, though, especially if they grab the west (not gonna happen) or a wild card

    old timey types would love the RBIs and wave off the walk rate/OBP though

    It's August 2nd. Javy currently sports a .302/.335/.575 slash line with a deserved reputation as a spectacular defender and baserunner. The Cubs have the best record in the National League. That matters to voters, even if it shouldn't, necessarily. He's currently tied for 3rd in the NL with Freddie Freeman at 4.0 fWAR. Carpenter and Arenado are ahead of them with 4.4 and 4.5, respectively. The Rockies have a legitimate shot at a playoff spot, but it'll be tough given the amount of teams in the mix. The Cardinals don't have a ton of hope.

    rizzo still has a bit to go to get to 2 war i feel safe in saying he'll be fine

    estes gave up 4 or more runs in 14 of his 29 starts as a cub. he walked 83 in those 29 starts. to compare, chatwood has given up 4 or more runs in 7 of his 19 starts and walked 85 in those 19 starts. estes had a bWAR of -1.3 in 2003 while chatwood has a current bWAR of 0.3. are estes and chatwood the worst cub starters of the past 20-25 years? Ruben Quevedo and Amaury Telemaco were both less than stellar. man when amaury took that no hitter into the 8th in his debut, i thought for sure he was destined for the HOF

    looking pretty safe to say that the best answer here was #2 with a bit of an asterisk he didn't need to learn to walk a little. he does whatever the horsefeathers he wants.

    Another lefty by the name of Shawn Estes gave us one good game in '03 too. I went back and looked at his numbers and he was MUCH worse than i remembered. How dare you Man, how is that even possible? If anything, I remember him as being even worse than he was. It made me so mad that Dusty kept him in the rotation all year.

    Expecting a Verlander level bump out of Hamels is a bit much and a ridiculous expectation, but didn’t Verlander have an ERA in the 4s when he was traded? He just had like 2-3 good August starts before the Astros gave him their special sauce? I’m just telling myself Hamels needs to be better than Chatwood to temper my expectations. unfortunately, jim hickey's special sauce just makes everyone barf up a bunch of walks

    Russell has played on a 3+ win pace, struggles and all. That's perfectly cromulent.

    fortunately i lucked into finding this pretty easily because the search function was no help viewtopic.php?f=26&t=2030&start=175
  22. David
    i'm sure mojo will insist that this, too, is not a subtle (well, it's definitely not that) shot at the cubs though
  23. David
    javy's basically adjusted to the majors the same way he did every level of the minors, it just took him longer he never walked all that much but he just said horsefeathers it i'll put up a monster slash line anyway at every level
  24. David
    start doing this instead of begging for rain please
  25. David
    ok i guess javy's just a superstar isn't he
