    Are you sure he didn't understand or is it that his job is to try to beat the odds? I'm very sure he didn't understand. Are you sure you read the interview? You can't be serious. The guy may or may not suck at his job, but he surely understands the pros and cons of drafting HS players vs. college players. NOW this thread can realize its full potential.

    Come on now, let's not jump to conclusions

    1. No one is denying that he's extremely intelligent. 2. Doesn't Beane do the whole delegate and lead thing? Hell, we've seen Beane guys go on and become GMs for other teams. Isn't that one of the strongest attributes of leadership when everyone is looking to copy and imitate your success with your own underlings? 3. Everyone lets their scouts scout and players develop. I'm not sure what's so special about that. Beane laid a foundation too, and it's one that almost very literally everyone in baseball started copying. You're knocking Friedman for having Hunsicker as part of his staff as if, he wouldn't be as successful without him. Beane delegates, but he/Kuboda also uses stats too much over the scout's opinion in relation to draft picks. Their hands have been in that cookie jar too much. It's the primary flaw when using BPA (within budgetary constraints) and statistical analysis. It's great to look at hitter's stats on Friday nights, but there's a line it crosses as far as importance. Their farms have not been that good. Whether that is scouting or development, I'm not too familiar with but they haven't done as well building from within recently. It's a good thing a lot of us know your biases, but I still feel like some may take this somewhat seriously.

    They won't be better. Every theory is based on longshot hopes of unrealistic production from garbage internal candidates. It's a pointless exercise. It's impossible for the Cubs to better use Ramirez's money than on his salary? Don't be ridiculous. The Cubs were bad in several areas. If they use Ramirez's money towards a 4-5 win pitcher like Wilson, then you don't need any production out of 3B(which doesn't HAVE to be a platoon of current guys) to break even, and you've made yourself better for future years as well. The Cubs will need production from somewhere. Also, you do know that winshare numbers aren't real? They're like a Z score. The only way to be better without Ramirez will be to add enough offense to offset his production +. If they get Fielder and let him walk they will be a weaker offensive team by a larger margin. So, Wilson will need to be an elite pitcher to factor for the loss of Aramis. I guess the question is: Is Wilson + Fielder enough to make up for the loss in production of Aramis. I don't know, but I suspect the answer is no given the other problems the Cubs have. I'm kind of excited for TT's response to this.

    This is exactly what I'm hearing, as well. Pleeeeeease don't [expletive] up my conference.

    wrigley is an old ballpark with small seats, how do brewer fans fit in them? They're also rather expensive, so how to Brewer fans afford them? The only time I've ever been to a Cubs game in which the away teams fans took over Wrigley were the Twins in 2009. Those were some obnoxious bastards. Of course, I've never been to a game at Wrigley vs. the Yanks or Red Sox, and I'm assuming they'd be worse. The Mets pack Wrigley each time I've seen them here. They aren't as obnoxious as Brewers or Cards fans, but their presence somehow annoys me more.

    Thank you both for everything you do in these forums. Makes it easy to follow the Cubs without following the Cubs.

    But, he brings so much with the gl- ...no... Well, he's a real terror on the bas- ...nope STFU THERIOT
  9. javy knows my name
    God, he sucks so much. I don't think I ever want him to stop talking.
  10. javy knows my name
    You'll get your all-catholic basketball conference that will have an automatic bid, don't worry. H8 U
  11. javy knows my name
    I hate college football a little bit
  12. javy knows my name
    They aren't going to worry about finding a place for non-football programs to land. We need KU and Mizzou just to stay afloat.
  13. javy knows my name
    Sweet. I didn't know it was that easy. He's not the only Brewer fan I've talked to who believes Mat Gamel is going to replicate Prince's production in year one, either.
  14. javy knows my name
    No, they're drunk assholes with a huge inferiority complex who, by and large, don't know [expletive] about baseball. I prefer Cardinals fans.
  15. javy knows my name
    Why do you ND fans prefer the ACC to the B10? That seems silly to me. Of course, if UT to the Pac50 is inevitable, you probably would rather be there. But the ACC? They suck at football and didn't get any better academically in the Pitt/Cuse/Uconn scenario. Don't get this at all.
  16. javy knows my name
    As a fan of a non-football Big East team, [expletive] this.
  17. javy knows my name
    I'm going. 'Cause it's free.
  18. javy knows my name
    Lulz. At that point, you're a block from the Sheridan stop. Unless you mean Addison and Sheffield, in which case, still no.
  19. javy knows my name
    rofl ITG, GBPH loljk I thought it was funny
  20. javy knows my name
    Law and who's the other one? Bravo
  21. javy knows my name
    Nice work, everyone

    I would be discerning and realize that if we did win the World Series, he probably had very little to do with it because a) he's only a manager and b) he's bad at his job. Edmonds is not a good comp.
  23. javy knows my name
    Yep, can't keep my emotions back on this one. Jocketty would be a relative disappointment for me, and I hate TLR so much that I don't care if it bring Pujols. [expletive] that.

    Heres the latest on Aramis. Nothing earth shattering. I wouldn't be opposed to giving him a 2-3 year deal at a home town discount as long as it means that they plan on picking up some additional pieces to win in the next year or two, otherwise, it's a waste as the team won't be contending in the time he's here. Sounds like he's more concerned with years than money at this point. Really only the article addresses the money aspect. Would he do a 2/20 or 3/27 with us? Would you give it to him? We should be so lucky to get him at 2/20 and I would probably do 3/27 without much hesitation.

    Profit maximization is so darn un-American. It kind of is. See Profit maximization means firing of American workers and taking advantage of slave labor in China. So in your sarcastic remark you are kind of correct. lol - I hope you're being sarcastic. QUICK CHECK OF POST HISTORY REVEALS NO
