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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
just one of the many reasons toews is an elite player despite his seemingly underwhelming point totals. and i agree with whoever said kane is on another level this year. even when it's not leading to goals, he's doing amazing things out there. every time he gets the puck in the offensive zone i feel like we're about to have a good scoring chance. so so fun to watch right now. i remember when i was so jealous of pittsburgh having malkin and crosby. now we have a better pair for ourselves.
