    4th or 5th? Morrow, Strop and Carl are all easily better. Monty may even rank ahead of him for me/some and if Wilson decides not to be a bum he could be better. Strop maybe, but definitely not montgomery

    Happ doesn't even have a starting job. We don't need an in house replacement for him. Happ didn't have a starting job last year because Maddon kept waiting for Schwarber, Zobrist, and Heyward to regain their offensive capabilities. schwarber did though

    fair enough. i don't disagree. i wasn't really calling you out or anything, i was just afraid of where that might head with some lesser known posters

    i'm just saying we probably shouldn't start a conversation about the validity of a domestic abuse accusation to figure out if we should trade a baseball guy

    it won't be as fun to make fun of the cardinals' drunk driving if we get duffy

    why are yankees fans so in love with greg bird? i'm already seeing them fantasize on twitter about the 2018 lineup by listing stanton, judge, sanchez, and.... bird.

    you know what i meant. i considered changing it to "best" instead of "good" for clarification, but i'm too lazy. i'm not complaining about the front office or anything like that, i just think it would be cool to come away with one of these tanaka/darvish/ohtani level guys If you're not going to consider Soler, a guy who had played in a high level foreign league and was highly sought after, then you're drawing from an incredibly narrow pool. Even on your list you have Darvish, who had a 50 million posting fee in Theo's first offseason when they were nowhere close to contention, and Tanaka, who has never hit 200 IP and is so good he decided not to opt out of that deal because his arm is held together with bits of string. I'd have liked to have any of those 3 too, but it's a big leap for me to be frustrated by the outcomes or to feel like there's been some persistent shortcoming. you're reading too much into my comments. i'd think that you would know that i know the significance of guys like soler, torres, and jimenez. i was talking about these top tier, major league ready guys that become big fun stories leading up to their decisions. i'm not complaining about our success in ifa. really i just want one of these japanese phenoms badly, so i made a short post to pout.

    The Cubs have a World Series ring(Torres for Chapman) and Quintana(Eloy) because they got the very best IFAs in a particular class. you know what i meant. i considered changing it to "best" instead of "good" for clarification, but i'm too lazy. i'm not complaining about the front office or anything like that, i just think it would be cool to come away with one of these tanaka/darvish/ohtani level guys. i understand that the majority of teams haven't gotten to have it happen to them either.

    i never really had my hopes up for ohtani, but it is frustrating that we keep missing out on all the good international free agents

    just because he's willing to come to mlb for cheap doesn't mean money is completely irrelevant to him. it feels like seattle told him they'd be able to get a certain amount for him if he committed, they got word he's choosing them, and now they're just grabbing the money as quickly as possible to wrap this up.

    if you knew we had no chance at harper, would you want stanton?
