    Say his name 2 more times and he'll appear.

    Who are we blaming here? The Cubs don't have a lot of control over this Dempster thing, you know that, right? Also, they can't make Garza magically not be hurt, or not have a kid. I'm not blaming anyone. I'm just upset at how this deadline, one of the few aspects of this season that held a sense of promise, seems to be bottoming out. Just generalized frustration with the state of the organization.

    I didn't expect the Cubs to go to the playoffs or even finish with a record near .500, but Jesus Christ, this team can't even do a [expletive] firesale right.

    Per Rotoworld: Perhaps Demp's refusal to go to ATL emboldened Colletti to part with Eovaldi.
  5. MWV
    As of now, its more a case of "wouldn't".
  6. MWV
    If there is an upside to Eovaldi going in the Hanley deal, would it not be that the Dodger's presently need another starter (when is Lilly due back)? That offers the Cubs a little leverage, although not nearly as much as they once had.

    Other threads may have been longer, but I think this is the first to feature Morrissey.

    I can't help wondering if the Cubs FO knew all along that Demp would only accept a trade to LA and were simply playing other suitors for leverage. To go a bit further, if Atlanta suspected as much, they could've designed this leak to ascertain the truth.

    Maybe he meant 4th in WAR among NL pitchers? Or maybe he's just a another [expletive] idiot columnist.

    This has probably been discussed previously, but how does MLB define/determine the size of a team's market?
  12. MWV
    The Marlins are 12/16 in NL attendance this year. I'm too lazy to look this up, but when has a team ever opened up a brand new ballpark in a major city and managed only to improve from dead last to 12th? Why does this team even exist?!

    The only of Sanchez ever did well was strike people out, and he hasn't done much of that this season. He's still awesome at walking people though. (K/BB of 0.82 in 53 IP this year). And it's not like he's all that young anymore at age 29. Our internal options suck, so there's that, but I certainly wouldn't give up much for him.

    I don't believe Jackson has started a game since June 11, so hopefully the 'pen is the plan.
  15. MWV
    Who would have guessed that Loria & Co. would try to whip up offseason enthusiasm for their new ballpark (that they didn't pay for but still stand to profit from) only to sell off their assets shortly thereafter? Pretty much everyone.

    Problem is, it's unfair to demote Shoulders who still has an .804 OPS despite a low average. Any chance of leapfrogging Vogelsbach to Peoria? Boise has a DH.

    Congrats on 800 XBH, Soriano.

    It was, in fact, wrong. The chance was 100%. Their models were inaccurate, due to data they couldn't have, I imagine. This was predictable this morning with perfect knowledge. Knowing the weather 6 hours in advance to that level is just not unknowable in that way. So if someone hands you a die and says there is a ~17% probability that you roll a 4, and you proceed to do just that, is that person wrong or right? From a guy who regularly states the % likelihood of things happening, I expect a firmer understanding of probability. In other news, this baseball game needs to happen.

    JIM HENDRY HAD THE STONES TO TAKE CARE OF MATTERS HIMSELF!

    I imagine Dave Kaplan finds it tragic that Giancarlo Stanton will never fulfill the tremendous potential that Mike Stanton once possessed.

    Vitters BB.
  23. MWV
    Give the old man a break. This is his final opportunity to be a curmudgeonly prick.
  24. MWV
    Vitters 2012 by month: April: .261/.307/.304 (69 AB) May: .284/.333/.550 (109 AB) June: .324/.387/.583 (108 AB) July: .375/.432/.563 (32 AB) He's clearly still progressing as a ballplayer. And that's to say nothing of his defense. Let him finish this season in AAA, see where his numbers plateau. He's still among the youngest players in the PCL.

    First, Dempster presently boasts a 2.6 bWAR in 35.2 fewer innings pitched. Second (and more importantly), that trade was a $9.5 million salary dump for the White Sox. If the Cubs kick in a considerable portion of Dempster's salary, it is reasonable to expect that they will receive better prospects than Jason Frasor and Zach Stewart.
