  1. I've wondered the same. All I've seen are conclusory statements on a couple forums to the effect that KC just isn't as high on Appel as other organizations.
  2. Damn umps. Screw it, I'm on the robot umpires bandwagon.
  3. Only Wood/Castillo available in the pen. With Volstad pitching tomorrow....Hoyer might need to make some moves to bring up arms.
  4. [expletive] bullpen. Bunch of [expletive] gas cans.
  5. And we should all hope that is how the thing goes down, if it ever does. The Cubs do not need to be shedding payroll. If they do dump some guys, I'm hoping they go the route of picking up the check in exchange for getting more talent in return. Yeah, had to take a call & inadvertently submitted my post w/out finishing my thought... Agree that it is best if Cubs pick up the tab in a trade scenario like this to maximize the talent return.
  6. Phils are only a few million $ from the luxury tax, right? Cubs would have to eat pretty much all of Sori/Marmol $, I'd assume (in a vacuum w/ Phils not dealing away anyone else that would reduce their payroll).
  7. Well, personally, I'll be bummed if Harper isn't the douche many of us thought he was. I need to see this thread thrive over the years.
  8. Results are great & all, but any reports on his velocity?
  9. Yeah unless someone allows Thoyer to clean out their farm system, it makes no sense to not re-sign him....assuming the goal is to be good w/in the next couple years
  10. Guess it's just time for me to put the big club on ignore until BJax/Rizzo/etc. get called up. Really nothing to see here besides the possibility of moving guys like Dempster.
  11. Damn Shark has been impressive. It will be interesting to see how he holds-up physically over the season. Is there gonna be a cap on innings for him this year?
  12. http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/news/story?id=6120813 I'm just glad Jimbo got that last year to give out that awful deal. :banghead: One reason why I scratched my head when some were saying it didn't matter whether Hendry was around. Maybe another GM would've given the same contract, but maybe not. There were some here wanting to trade high on Marmol a couple years ago. Oh well, payroll has to go to somebody I guess
  13. Really nice outing Demp....no way he comes out for the 8th...right??
  14. Yep, cuz if anyone needs to be spied on, it's the Cubs
  15. I was thinking Jed & Theo asked for two of the three (which is what I would ask for) but all three? Wow. I'd tell Theo to go pound sand too, but also can't blame him for trying. If they can't get a major haul for Garza, might as well just keep him, maybe even extend him.
  16. More or less my view as well. Either Theo/Jed get a great haul in return & deal Garza, or they don't & keep him (maybe even extend him). Cubs don't HAVE to move Garza
  17. So does your avatar...wait...guess I tend to think mustaches suck.
