  1. If you had to choose between one of these two guys getting 500 AB in the Cubs OF this year (and I realize they both may well play and that it's not mutually exclusive, but that's not what this is about), which would you choose?
  2. So the White Sox turned down Carlos Martinez for Alexei... MLB Trade Rumors ‏@mlbtraderumors 52m ChiSox Reject Cardinals' Offer For Alexei Ramirez http://bit.ly/167c8QM #mlb
  3. @BenBadler: After a long delay, Cubs RHP Juan Carlos Paniagua has his visa and is in Arizona http://bit.ly/12mTLUI
  4. Anthony Andro ‏@aandro 4m Rangers GM Jon Daniels confirms club has signed Manny Ramirez to minor-league deal. Anthony Andro ‏@aandro 4m Ramirez will report to Round Rock Thursday and work out with club for a few days before being activated.
  5. OMG this is [expletive] great
  6. http://www.bleachernation.com/2013/04/17/lukewarm-stove-cubs-the-very-early-frontrunner-for-david-price/ Olney has the Cubs as his early front runners for Price. http://insider.espn.go.com/mlb/blog/_/name/olney_buster/id/9177341/teams-lining-trade-david-price-giancarlo-stanton-mlb - for any with Insiders...the rest of us will have to just go off of what Brett has to say. ZOMG that's just disgusting
  7. Just wondering if there's a setting in the bb software that can be changed that will make external links posted on NSBB open in a new tab (or window). I'm guessing most would be in favor of this but what do I know. It seems every other forum/blog I'm on, if you click a link, it'll open in a separate tab. In NSBB it stays in the same tab, so typically I'll just right click "open new tab." Not a big deal.
  8. Thought I'd keep this going now that the season is here (for a baseline), even though it's a couple of days late. You determine what a "good job" is. Just be consistent in applying it. Past Results: Post 2012 - 96% Yes - 26 votes August - 90% Yes - 31 votes July - 85% Yes - 27 votes June - 96% Yes - 26 votes May - 96% Yes - 27 votes April - 61% Yes - 28 votes
  9. And if not, does anybody want to?
  10. Corey Brock ‏@FollowThePadres The #Padres have dealt Minor League INF Jose Dore to #Cubs for a PTBNL or cash. An 8th round pick in '10, a .222 hitter in 3 seasons. 3 seasons is a bit misleading. has only really played one year. 2010 he played 4 games after signing, 2012 he missed all but 9 games.
  11. http://www.bleachernation.com/2013/02/28/source-cubs-seriously-exploring-branding-changes-including-new-logo-new-uniforms-and-a-jumbotron/ Looks like they're talking about changing some of the secondary logos (or maybe the primary - which would be surprising but Brett doesn't seem to rule it out anywhere), the road uniforms (I had heard rumors of them changing the shade of blue and getting rid of the red numbers - which would be awesome). Also looks like there are plans to put a screen where the Toyota sign currently resides. I do wish they'd get rid of the pinstripes and go with an all white look at home, but if the throwbacks are like that, I guess I'd be good with that.
  12. Not really a suggestion...just wondering if there are any plans to acknowledge the site's 10 year anniversary and curious as to when it actually is. Can't believe I've been on here as long as I have. Also freaks me out that the 03 season was a decade ago.
  13. @M_Montemurro: For those who picked Castro to get the first#Cubs hit, you win. He doubles to left-center field.
  14. I don't think we have a thread for this, and we might as well. http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-biz-0219-cubs-20130219,0,7523734.story I really hope they've explored buying themselves out of that CSN deal, although I can't even fathom how much that would cost. I can't imagine all of the things we've heard about them preparing for their own network is for 7 years down the road. In the last few days, I've read that they've gone as far as to have content filmed for a Cubs network (interviews or something with major former players). I mean, ultimately, I guess I don't care how long it takes to get the Cubs network thing going (if at all) if they're getting much closer to fair market value in the meantime.

  16. It's that time again. Anyone going? I usually look forward to some posters posting recaps of the different talks and such. Also really looking forward to the renovation plans being unveiled.
  17. I figured it could use its own thread given how dead this subforum has been. Stealing a transcript from a commenter on Bleacher Nation. http://www.bleachernation.com/2013/01/03/draft-changes-and-unintended-consequences-and-other-bullets/comment-page-1/#comment-204151 Really seems to sound like he was alluding to Bourn. Could he be referring to anyone else in that way? Also, even a year later, it's so refreshing to hear things like the bold out of our front office.
  18. WTF lol MLB Trade Rumors ‏@mlbtraderumors Pirates To Sign Francisco Liriano http://bit.ly/XUvsfi #mlb
  19. Figured we could use one of these...especially with the winter meetings coming up. Marlin Bystro at PSD posted this this morning... http://forums.prosportsdaily.com/showthread.php?p=24518840#post24518840 Also, ABTY7 mentioned this... http://forums.prosportsdaily.com/showthread.php?p=24519230#post24519230 I believe there were some Granderson rumors floating around...not sure if that's what it'd be in regard to.
  20. Jerry Crasnick @jcrasnick ·More BJ Upton in serious talks with #braves on mulityear deal, source says Mark Bowman ‏@mlbbowman Source confirms Braves are nearing the completion of a deal with B.J. Upton. @jcrasnick first reported talks were heating up
  21. Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN Scott Feldman is on the verge of signing a one-year deal with the Chicago Cubs.http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/f/feldmsc01.shtml … MLB Trade Rumors ‏@mlbtraderumors Cubs, Scott Feldman Nearing Deal http://bit.ly/10OSpEQ #mlb Expand
  22. Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN Three teams that had been aggressive on Jeff Keppinger before he broke his leg were the Cubs, Diamondbacks and Rays. Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN Club evaluators were aware of Jeff Keppinger's leg injury, and don't consider it serious enough to deter them. Teams bidding: TB, AZ, CHC.
  23. Comcast SportsNet ‏@CSNChicago #Cubs hire Rob Deer as assistant hitting coach: http://cmcst.sn/aabpdf #CubsTalk (@CSNMooney)
  24. The Rays announced that they extended the contract of Evan Longoria by an additional six seasons. The $100MM deal extends through 2022 with a club option for 2023. The contract incorporates the 2013-16 salaries from Longoria's original deal with the Rays, meaning the third baseman will earn $6MM in 2013, $7.5MM in 2014, $11MM in 2015 and $11.5MM in 2016. Then Longoria will earn a total of $100MM from 2017-22. Under his previous deal, the Rays had club options for the 2014-16 seasons.
  25. Jerry Crasnick ‏@jcrasnick #Bluejays officially announce John Gibbons' return as manager. He's got a lot of talent to work with this time. Well, that should be, uhhhhh, entertaining...
