  1. If by 4/60 you mean 2/30 or 3/40, sure. But just get Yu my heart wants yu, but it kind of feels like it's back to 6/150 for him, and his recent injury history makes that pretty scary to me. i'll still be excited if they end up paying that much to get him, but i don't know if it's a smart decision.
  2. just sign cobb for 4/60 like we were supposed to 2 months ago
  3. i was curious about what bill simmons is up to these days, so i briefly followed him on twitter. the first thing from him was a retweet of an article from the ringer breaking down a season of friday night lights. jesus.
  4. i get the feeling that gimenez is overselling his relationship with yu
  5. all we're going to hear for the next couple months is that the brewers added cain/yelich to an 86 win team, instead of the 70-whatever win team they actually were before these moves.
  6. the brewers were not nearly better than the cubs last year. the cubs are also obviously adding a pitcher. What? They were a young team that had a 5.5 game lead on them at one point. They fell apart at the end of the year. They've added a ton so far, what if they sign Darvish? finishing 6 games behind a team (with an inferior run differential) does not mean you were "nearly better" than them. once the cubs got quintana and fixed their rotation, they obliterated them. factor in the likely regression for their veterans who overachieved last year, and the difference between the 2 teams going into 2018 is going to be obvious.
  7. why would you think that If the Cubs don't make a move heading into the regular season, their moves are Chatwood and Morrow and lost Arrieta? The Brewers were nearly better than them last year. the brewers were not nearly better than the cubs last year. the cubs are also obviously adding a pitcher.
  8. why would you think that
  9. odd
  10. Nobodys scared. I'm just waiting for the finished product before projecting win totals. Crazy stuff the point is that they can add a lot more and still be projected to be mediocre
  11. They still have plenty of cash to burn and a surplus of outfielders to trade.... I wouldn't start making win projections just yet. we found a guy who is scared of the brewers
  12. highheat is legit?
  13. i still can't decide if i like him or not
  14. i don't understand why they think the cubs have mortgaged their future or whatever. is it just because they traded eloy and are wasting money on heyward? they seem to have no understanding of what the cubs plan has been from the beginning. i know sports fans are dumb in general, but this narrative they've got going over there about the cubs is too odd to ignore. as for the barren farm system criticism-
  15. now i kind of hope we don't get him, so that guy loos like a dick
  16. yeah, what? I’m saying if he has a bad couple of years and breaks down (as many pitchers do). and what if eloy ends up sucking (as most prospects do)
  17. *copies and pastes into word document* i'm still disappointed you never made one for the cubs winning the ws, but i understand you were sad about trump
  18. 5-6 years ago i would have been shocked to know this would be the reality, but i'd be even more shocked to know that it wouldn't even bother me that's actually not even close to being true ?
  19. 5-6 years ago i would have been shocked to know this would be the reality, but i'd be even more shocked to know that it wouldn't even bother me
  20. i don't feel confident in that at all
  21. either the quote or brett's translation makes no sense
  22. has anybody heard anything about 4k options for the olympics? i can't really find any information about it.
  23. is driving up the price for an opponent a real thing?
