  1. if you could take this year's roster and couple it with last year's positive variance, we break the wins record

  3. Soler Baez Ross Do you want another two infielders instead? LaStella and ?? Think we'd do better for a PH bat from an OFer. Also, one of our outfielders is going to catch sometimes.
  4. Who said anything about nostalgia? I'm saying I think he's better than Victorino and at least a better hitter than Szczur. Based on what? Japan? Japan, his MLB career (not that it means anything other than he was a good hitter when he was here and then remained so in Japan). Looking back at his numbers, he kinda sucked in 2015, though. I'm not saying he's ready to OPS .800 again or anything. We're talking about a 5th outfielder here, though. Either way, not a big deal. Maybe Victorino would do better. Who the horsefeathers knows. Let's go with novelty as my tie-breaker.
  5. Murton isn't worth rostering just for nostalgia's sake. I can't imagine him being very good Who said anything about nostalgia? I'm saying I think he's better than Victorino and at least a better hitter than Szczur.
  6. I want Murton as 5th OF...especially now that Coghlan is gone and Fowler (a guy who can play CF) is in.
  7. lmao people are so pissed because the Cubs are awesome. Also, I know typical Chicago sports radio drivel, but I heard multiple people on the score speculate that the Cubs might end up being accused of tampering and losing draft picks. I'm pretty sure that until a FA has signed on the dotted line, clubs are able to freely speak with and negotiate with a FA. Idiots. I managed to hear about 10 min of Chris Rongey last night, scratching his head about why Fowler would only want a 1 year deal...and how dumb it was, etc... A bunch of texters/emailers must've explained how week next years crop of outfielders is, but he dismissed that as a huge risk because of possibly being injured or bad this year. I agree with Rongey that it wasn't exactly a smart decision financially. Not at all, really. I think he opted for comfort and winning and a little possible contractual upside. I don't see him getting much more money next year, weaker crop aside. He'll be a year older, will be in at least somewhat less of an everyday role, and who knows if he'll have as productive a season.

  9. crap i had forgotten how really really good victorino was in 2013 but yeah nothing since
  10. I'm not sure I'd call him defensive minded, but last I checked, Chris Denorfia's a free agent. Maybe offer him an MiLB deal? He had his moments. Dude
  11. My issue here isn't so much caring about who said it or anything like that, but being completely flabbergasted at people thinking that that is somehow Theo talking.
  12. i wonder how that whole oil thing is going for dabum these days
  13. I don't think Theo would say that as the top baseball executive of the Cubs. That would be unprofessional. That wasn't Theo. Theo might say that...or at least something similar. He said something like "That was some Godfather horsefeathers," today and has been known to say some stuff like that in the past, but in this case, Theo did not say that.
  14. Christ. This really isn't even debatable.
  15. http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/69972428/v544419583/fowler-discusses-decision-to-sign-with-the-cubs/?query=cubs
  16. I think Puig is fine... Albert is not.
  17. So far, they've done 20-100. Top 20 will be on MLBN at 8...I think. Stealing this from GRB: How many Cubs in top 20? Rizzo, Bryant, Arrieta... I felt like Lester should've been in the top 100 somewhere, but then I look at the pitchers in the back end of that list and ehhh...
  18. check out jed's :flythew: fleece
  19. joe nathan is still trying to play baseball?
  20. that is so obviously dexter fowler's voice and theo is so obviously not talking when he turns his head toward fowler while fowler is saying mfers that i can't even wrap my head around the idea that you could possibly be serious. i have a less difficult time comprehending the idea that the universe is infinite than i do of someone being this assertively wrong. and theo has his head tilted back the whole horsefeathering time, including leading up to that walk. it's because swag.
  21. lmaoooooooooooooo
  22. Anybody? We have like 3 dudes who can play SS and 3 dudes who can play CF. i'm pretty sure someone on the team can handle 1B.
