    i loved tortorella trashing thornton after jumbo called the rangers soft (after a game where the rangers won 5-2)

    Am I the only one who feels better about our chances at Pujols/Fielder now that Aramis is pretty much gone? Like someone else said, if we don't re-sign Aramis AND miss out on Fielder/Pujols, our offense is going to be embarrasingly bad next year. I can see Theo/Hoyer viewing this season as kind of a transitional stage where they try and start setting things up for down the road, but I don't think they're going to let the team tank this year, and that offense would tank pretty hard. I think the fact that they're not spending the money on Ramirez makes it more likely that they plan to spend big on Pujols/Fielder.

    The difference is that if/when the replacement(s) tank, we won't be paying them 15 mil to do it. I would have given Aramis 2 years max, and I think he'll probably get 4-5 from somebody else.

    Alot of chance probably... they have no other holes to fill, they're desperate for starting pitching, and wilson is the only legitmately good/proven guy on the market. i don't see how they don't offer him AT LEAST 100 million. the yankees number 2 starter in the playoffs last year was freddy garcia. who did they have beyond that? burnett? colon? yeah, they're going to go hard after wilson.

    they only need 1 frontline starting pitcher, and then another middle of the rotation guy. garza is a very good second starter,

    with the stacked class of free agent starting pitching that iwll be available next offseason, i'm not even that interested in wilson.
  7. 17 Seconds
    Is there any chance at all that the Yankees don't offer Wilson at least 100 million? They are desperate for starting pitching and they know they can get away with overpaying guys.

    he just called ssr bubby

    Do most fans criticize him? I know the voices that do are loud (Sullivan/Rozner/Kaplan), but when I've attended games there Ramirez is always among the most applauded players. He doesn't take the onslaught of boos that Soriano does. Yes. The Ramirez is lazy and doesn't hit when it matters idea is very prevalent among the standard Cubs fan. It's infuriating. That part is the most mind boggling. WTF? Half of my Aramis memories are walkoffs and other huge hits. he was so money in clutch spots in 07 and 08 when we were actually good.

    god this offseason is so glorious. i don't ever want it to end

    If it does not matter that he does them in the minors, then why the critisism? Can't have it both ways. Because if a guy manages that way in the minors, he's probably going to do it in the majors? Was that a real question?

    sounds reliable
  16. 17 Seconds
    before you know it they're going to come up with something completely embarrassing like a women's nba.

    he took an average amount of walks i thought.

    does pujols have his own disease?

    ramirez's final line with the cubs (assuming he's gone)- .294/.356/.531 (8 and a half seasons)
  20. 17 Seconds
    i hope he gets a really nice deal somewhere. he took less to stay with the cubs, and i don't think he gets enough credit for that. instead, most cubs fans criticize him for not running out ground balls and garbage like that.

    The NBA is behind NASCAR? Yikes

    Wanting a guy to manage your AAA affiliate is very very different than wanting him to run your major league team. Minor league managers are about developing guys and all that stuff. If Ryne Sandberg wants to do stupid things like bunt in the first inning, he can do them in the minors because it doesn't matter if they win or lose.
