we're going to win 100 games again [tweet] [/tweet]

A little surprised he went with Enrique and not Julio -
no, i want roast beef, you clod!
-
i would love to know what harper is even thinking is going on at this point
-
yeah, i was going to make fun of that... i mean, if they know how strong harper's desire to be a cub is, acting like they're suddenly poor as horsefeathers out of nowhere all offseason and letting it play out this way and then spinning it as ownership coming in to save the day or something at the last minute is probably a good way to get him as cheaply as possible (if he agrees to give you last look). it's also a shitty thing to do and it's also almost certainly not what's happening.

there were people saying that type of thing about the lester deal lol

people are astonishingly dumb i'm not saying it's a bad idea for the upper echelon teams to add premier free agents, but it confuses the hell out of me how the media and fan consensus seems to be that it makes more sense for those teams to add the high end guys than the teams on the fringe... like HMM who stands to benefit more from adding 4-5 wins to their projection? a couple chatty cathys on the ferry this morning were talking about it, and all I heard was "I don't get it" and "there goes the collusion idea". I had to turn up my tunes to block them out. i even heard a couple of white sox fans in my office yesterday basically saying "that's fine... $300 million for one guy? let someone else pay that"

yeah, i'd take the over on 2B too...and probably C

an update from the cat [tweet] [/tweet] same thing he's been saying...and same thing the sun times reported back in december.
-
a good way of realizing how stupid the pecota projections are is to look at our roster with harper added and then realize they'd still have us like 3rd with 81 wins or something stupid like that
-
The answer is always the one elite guy when these questions come up Even if the non-elite guys are on shorter deals? Harper has averaged around 5 fWAR over the past 3 seasons Keuchel/Kimbrel/Marwin have combined to average around 7.5 fWAR over the past 3 season. And you wouldn't have any on the hook for a 10 year commitment. yeah let's just add up the WAR of 3 guys and imply they're more valuable than one guy

i feel like he hits a ton of BP homers every spring
-
yes we get it you dont like white guys
-
Not very likely, but I could totally see them coming out of nowhere and giving Harper a massive (compared to the other teams) offer to sign with them. They keep downplaying the importance of signing one of those 2, but its possible they actually get a bit desperate with 1 off the board. williams was talking about how they need more than one player and weren't willing to go up to $300M. i don't see that happening.
-
hitting for power without being a 1B or corner OF?
-
are they gonna cycle out their 8000 stupid different camo uniforms though

-
he's not. rick hahn is. jerry reinsdorf never fires anybody. he just promoted williams to president.
-
this is absolutely 10000000% happening and he is definitely 10000000000000000% not signing with the cubs and i'm definitely not trying to jinx anything in a reverse sort of way
-
[tweet] [/tweet] i believe in you javy. you're the hero we need but don't deserve.
-
this guy pitched in games for the cubs last year? i have never heard this name
