I'm formerly Peoria. That's all the representin' it needs! But, loved listening to Brickhouse. Geez I'm old. Peoria to San Diego? God damn that's one hell of an upgrade.

i remember when having a bunch of top 100 guys seemed pretty awesome now i'm like nobody in the top 25? MEH

Trevathan and Berry would be nice.

Rather than ask where the needs are this offseason for the Bears, the better question seems to be where we are actually okay heading into next year. QB, WR (I'm not considering it at all likely that Jeffery is gone next year), RB, TE, 1 S, 1 CB, an OLB, a couple interior DL, probably a couple guys on the OL who are fine, how fine depends on Long

Lucroy wants to be traded to a contender
David replied to Clem Fandango's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
http://chicagocubsonline.com/archives/2016/01/report-links-cubs-to-jonathan-lucroy.php Goes along with that report that came like immediately after Heyward signed. Can't remember who it was, though. Might be the Kaplan thing they're mentioning. -
can someone explain what that's about like i don't get how that's even a glitch that can happen lmao

fwiw, his contact numbers in the big leagues last year need to improve. http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=16478&position=C/OF#platediscipline

And if their rookie years were their peaks, it shouldn't really surprise anyone (or necessarily be all that disappointing as long as it isn't a huge outlier season). i'd be very happy if you told me kris bryant would have a career that more or less mirrored 2015 without any improvement. same with schwarber.

ugh both of these games sucked and went the way i didn't want

Backup shortstop who won't play because Russell doesn't need a backup. Baez traded for Cobb. Any better? You do, in fact, probably want to have more than one capable SS on the roster (and not just because Russell has a history of hamstring problems) and calling Zobrist that would be a stretch. And no, trading Baez for a rehabbing pitcher would not please me.
-
I would like to see those things and it is certainly one of many possible outcomes, but I wouldn't say significant improvement should be expected or projected. Edit: this was in response to Tim's post
-
I will say that piscotty was a decently regarded prospect (like top 50ish at one point, iirc) and he did make tangible approach and swing changes to hit for more power last year, so he might be more legit than his history says. Or he might not be. Doesn't really matter that much. Also, I'm not sure who writing off the cardinals would be "risky" for, but it's not us.

This is basically what i would've replied if I were on a computer and not my phone. And complaining about projections being too low when they ultimately combine for a 95 win median team projection seems kinda silly. Your last paragraph seems to ring especially true when our rookies came in as big league ready as their play showed last year. I wouldn't expect a lot of improvement and I would be more than happy if they were about the same as last year.

Clay Davenport's projections. Pretty high on the Dodgers. http://claydavenport.com/projections/PROJHOME.shtml

You no syrup people are some heathens. Straight up.

i was joking dudes

Agreed. And don't see a need to trade hitting for a middling pitcher just because of youth and cost control. They can address the back of the rotation on a year to year basis pretty easily. I'm more concerned with what happens at the top of the rotation in 2018 when Lester is 2 years older and Arrieta's no longer cheap and ours. But that might as well be light years away in pitching terms.

they should've reached out to luke walton

The easiest solution for all of you guys with blackout issues (assuming you have the bandwidth to stream) is getting MLB.tv and using a VPN site like unblock-us.com to get past the restrictions. It's like $5 a month. Worked for me last season when I cut the cord and got rid of cable.
