Want me to update your post with Justin Wilson and Alex Avila's names or keep it as is?

As much as I'd like to say yes, they were already crumbling last year. They were 30-42 after the break (68 win pace). Ohh, so close to being nice.

No, it sounds like it's Candelario, Paredes and possibly a PTBNL/cash. Well what's that fangraphs chart all about? Neither of those guys are Cubs prospects. Fangraphs fucked up.

No, it sounds like it's Candelario, Paredes and possibly a PTBNL/cash.

And we get Wilson for next year, with Davis and Uehara free agents.

Is it a slider or a cutter? (Referencing the article that was posted earlier today.)

Duensing has been pretty good. Grimm will go down, come back on 9/1.

[tweet] [/tweet] They won 114 games and a World Series last year with a similar roster but until they got a setup man and a backup catcher they weren't in the WS conversation this year?

wasn't rosenthal the one who got the ball rolling tonight? Oh yeah, you're right. Rosenthal is the only one I truly trust.

Haha, that's so dumb. Like Detroit's GM wouldn't contact LA and Washington to see if they'll counteroffer? If not for that meddling media!

Rosenpenis finally chimes in: [tweet] [/tweet]

Neuby mentioned this one already: [tweet] [/tweet] [tweet] [/tweet]

He's signed through next season.

it's fine a coup? a backup C (maybe) and maybe our 2nd best reliever (maybe) it's fine. it's also boring. definitely not a coup. DEFINITELY not a horsefeathering coup. Montgomery was pretty boring acquisition too. http://s3.amazonaws.com/ogden_images/www.reviewonline.com/images/2016/11/03005619/AP16308174630068-652x840.jpg

Neither Candelario or Zagunis are starting for Iowa.

cool but why'd you post it in this month old thread Probably because of the Maples conversation in this thread.

i mean how can you not know who he is? he came in the big bonifacio/russell deadline deal of 2014 A better reason to know Caratini is that he is rated the Cubs top prospect by BA.
