    what a terrible quote "paying for new good players? no, that was never happening. trading some guys for some other guys? also no"

    well the ricketts stuff is obviously more important than stupid baseball stuff, but it's a lot easier to separate that from the actual sports stuff. cheating is kind of hard to separate from the game itself, although I tend to agree that all teams probably try to cheat and the astros were either more brazen than other teams or just are the ones who happened to get caught.

    Yeah, but he’s a shill too, to be fair. I don’t get the shill vibe from him or his site. He’s just kinda dumb and a fun loving fanboy. It doesn’t help that he surrounds himself by as dumb or dumber writers other than Cubs Prospect guy (Bryan Smith I think). Part of me thinks that’s by design so he appears smarter if he has idiots around him. if you write about the cubs and you aren't constantly going after the ricketts and what they've been doing, then you're a shill

    7 seconds isn't really enough time to take another shot at the endzone from that distance

    how has not locking up their young stars hurt the cubs? the cubs problems have nothing to do with that.

    i was just thinking how happy i'd be if we just kept bryant and then i realized that the ricketts have successfully made me content with doing nothing

    If he literally brought nothing else of value to the table to being a good baseball player I doubt it. Especially in an environment everyone with a pulse and and couple hundred PAs hits in the 20s to 30+ HRs. He’s kinda capped as a 2-3 win player with his profile, maybe he has a peak 4+ head as an outlier. For example, JD Martinez hit .304/.383/.557 with 36 HRs with double the walk rate and about 1/3rd fewer Ks than Eloy last year and was only worth 3.2 WAR. As I posted before, I never said he was a great player and MLB has become a place where one-dimensional players are on every team. The AL has paid them a lot of money and extended their careers by having the DH. At 22 years old, it's kind of hard to predict what he'll do in the future. you just said he looks to be a "superstar slugger"

    Eloy is a superstar slugger? Eh HR at age 22: Bonds 25 Griffey 27 Frank Robinson 31 Mantle 27 ARod 42 Jimenez 31 Pujols 34 Aaron 26 why do you do this

    the last 2 seasons end like they did and the biggest rumor about us in the offseason is about trading our best player, cool good
