    So in attempting to curb a "problem" (Cubans 23-25 who aren't restricted by the bonus caps) that won't be a problem much longer (we've nearly tapped out the Cuban market plus the improving relations between countries surely means player procurement will change soon), we're now restricting potential game-changing talent from coming from Asia.

    Ugh.
  3. CaliforniaRaisin
    He's a corner OF or 2B (and Jim Callis and the folks at BA seem to think he's better off in the OF).

    BA's top 20 AFL prospect list: http://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/2016-arizona-fall-league-top-20-prospects/#gk3E3dtoAZrYYoqk.97 Eloy at 3, Happ at 8.

    The Cubs are the BA organization of the year: http://www.baseballamerica.com/ba-awards-gala/organization-of-the-year/#ht8Ijr8Qc2IjO0OW.97

    Donzo posted this elsewhere but I like it when we centralize all the Cubs top prospect lists. Here is Sickels' top 20 - as always, he's different from popular consensus: http://www.minorleagueball.com/2016/11/26/13734136/chicago-cubs-top-20-prospects-for-2017 1. Jimenez 2. Cease 3. Clifton 4. Happ 5. Almora (doesn't have rookie eligibility) 6. de la Cruz 7. Zagunis 8. Candelario 9. Underwood 10. Caratini

    Guess it's that time of year: [tweet] [/tweet]

    At the least, I'd be interested in a 1-year deal for a guy of Fister's caliber due to Montgomery's innings constraints.
  9. CaliforniaRaisin
    Hah. I've watched like one quarter of UCLA football (and watched no Bears football and about 2 minutes of Bulls basketball) ever since the playoffs started. Still can't get invested.
  10. CaliforniaRaisin
    Apparently Tom Herman might be headed to LSU.
  11. CaliforniaRaisin
    Tyler Webb is an interesting guy for this team's needs but they aren't in a situation where they can stash a guy so it probably doesn't matter.
  12. CaliforniaRaisin
    Is one of these guys gonna be worth that investment? Watson certainly won't be. Maybe Kizer? But I'd rather get the best player, especially when you've got a chance at a Myles Garrett, Jonathan Allen or Jabrill Peppers.
  13. CaliforniaRaisin
    I would be shocked if the Cubs don't let Maples go this offseason.
  14. CaliforniaRaisin
    I realize that this line of thinking is bordering on the cliche, but I love Bauer's stuff out of the pen if it turns out that he's not going to be as effective a starter as promised. With that said, I think he can be quite valuable in the rotation. Would be interested in seeing what it takes. Bauer does take like an hour to warm up and is pretty stubborn about his routine so there'd be added risk to him taking to relieving.

    Gleyber ended up winning the AFL MVP.

    Eloy Jimenez and Ryan McNeil have won two championships since the start of September.
  18. CaliforniaRaisin
    Eugene, Myrtle Beach, Chicago and the Mesa Solar Sox this year.
  19. CaliforniaRaisin
    Mesa is playing in the AFL Championship today at 2 on MLB Network. Eloy, Happ, Caratini! And maybe Farris or McNeil.
  20. CaliforniaRaisin
    Resign Fowler Force Otani to be posted and win the bidding Sign Jansen Offseason over 2017 season over PTR forever over Otani isn't getting posted this offseason because he'd be a part of the international free agent bonus caps.
  21. CaliforniaRaisin
    That's a far lower price tag than I was expecting. [tweet] [/tweet]
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    Bryant, Seager and Murphy for NL MVP.
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    Congrats. You're the big winner!
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    They can't offer a QO to Chapman and get a draft pick because he was acquired midseason. They likely won't offer Hammel the QO because it's around $17M and they just turned down a $12M option for him.

    Flew in to Chicago for the weekend for the parade and rally. Went by Wrigleyville today. There wasn't a lot of brick space left and my chalk-writing skills aren't great, but this is for Fred Hornkhol:
