good, it's about time they got rid of hendry and quade.
-
i doubt quade is back. hendry probably will be, but quade will be one of the guys who takes the fall for the nightmare season. everybody wants changes, and he's an easy guy to get rid of. an unknown guy with no experience who was basically getting a one year tryout this season. now we know he sucks and can move on.

Front Office Concerned About Spending Big $ on One Player
17 Seconds replied to MrCub14's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
The fact that they didn't trade Pena makes me believe that they are going to try and keep him next season because they aren't going to go after Pujols or Fielder. -
i had no idea what to expect from quade going into this season, but i didn't think he could be this bad. yikes.

god i hate baseball
-
my reaction to this: "whatever"
-
i love when people give hendry extra credit for the 2 division titles just because the cubs happen to also be horrible in the decades before him and how did that turn out for the cubs? certainly none of those big contracts have hurt the cubs in the past few years. but hey, we were pretty for 2 years in a row, so who cares.

Ubaldo to the Indians
17 Seconds replied to BCVM22's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Yeah probably until this offseason or next years trade deadline please, do explain The Indians, after a hot start, have gone 22-36 since then. They probably aren't that good, and will likely eventually learn that themselves, and when they realize that and realize that Ubaldo has the most value on their team, they will probably put him back on the market again. why do the yankees have an advantage over other teams in acquiring him via trade? -
what the i don't even

remember when baseball was fun?

Its awfully quiet ...

I wouldn't have much interest in trading those guys either. -
Oh, it was definitely a great move. I'm not complaining about it. I'm just saying that in the short term, it is going to hurt us, just because Campbell is a good player. As far as long term, this offseason was great. We got out of Campbell's contract and only gave out small contracts. I was just disappointed that we didn't come away with more quality depth, but like others have said.... there wasn't much out there, so they were probably smart to sign all the cheap one year deals and save assets to improve the team when better opportunities arrive.

Bulls announcers said "Michael" for years Michael is Michael. Brandon is not Brandon.
-
pirates alone in first!
-
how has it gotten a good deal better? who was the best player we got? andrew brunette? steve montador? i think we're going to miss campbell a lot more than people realize.
-
that's not really true
-
i hated that contract at the time, but it ended up being pretty solid

Moneyball starring Brad Pitt as Billy Beane

i love the three point contest so i'll definitely be watching this -
michael brantley is still talking about "clutch"? i don't think he's allowed to talk about that word after the edwin encarnacion incident a few years ago
-
campoli not coming back? i don't think there's any way you can say this team has gotten better this offseason. i guess we'll just have to hope for rebound years from guys like keith/seabrook/hjalm, etc. this is disappointing.
-
I figured it was because they got a first round draft pick for Troy Brouwer. But it will probably be one of the last first round picks. I think he would have had more value to us on the roster this upcoming season. The deeper the team is, the better. They already used the pick on a guy they wanted. It was about value for a replacable player, not getting rid of Brouwer. And like I said, I think Brouwer had more value to next season's team than the value we got for him. We have plenty of young talent, we needed to be adding quality depth for this years team, not dumping it.
