  1. Teams are only 15-12 when their QBs throw for 500, almost added another loss with Goff coming 6 yards short.
  2. Jed knows what's available better than we do and if he's going after Luzardo he believes he is the best of the bunch and has the expendable ammo to make it happen.
  3. In this scenario, Minter makes perfect sense if they won't go after Scott. They love reclamation projects and his ceiling is significant. Might take 1/9 with a option for 11 for 2026 or something like that. I kind of believe we have enough RHRP to piece things together, but we are in dire need of a LHRP IMO.
  4. 2 players had big wide open touchdowns today and decided to drop the ball right before the goal line lol How can players be so dumb. Just hold the damn ball.
  5. Triantos and Caissie probably do have about equal value considering the SB chops Triantos just displayed and Caissie might hack it in LF for a few years before moving to DH. I'm skeptical of his value outside of the bat. They quite possibly could both be peak 3 win guys. I'd rather hold onto Caissie because our immediate OF picture could get dicey pretty quickly in the next couple years. I'm starting to feel like Alcantara isn't on the table for Jed this year.
  6. Glad they're building around Rooker
  7. The Brewers weren't afraid to hand the keys to a rookie(s) and let him take his lumps and they ran away with the division. There's enough cover in the lineup to throw Shaw to the sharks. Similarly they're not afraid to put rookies on the bench either. It's up to Counsell and staff to put them in advantageous spots and develop their games.
  8. I'd trade Aliendo. Ramirez, and Gray for him
  9. I really hope Amaya has been working like a dog to improve defensively this winter, becoming more flexible and explosive.
  10. I'm thinking Tucker should command a salary not too far below Soto's, right? We're talking about a more complete player and more of a chance to provide defensive cover for 5 or so years. He's probably thinking he should get 12/500 or even 600 if he has another monster year like that.
  11. Those murmurs about Davis were known since right after the signing. We definitely talked about it here.
  12. Now I'm thinking they trade for that guy and sign Minter and Robertson. That would be sick.
  13. Happ Suzuki Tucker Dansby Busch Nico Amaya PCA Shaw
  14. Screw the bench pay for premium relief and Flaherty
  15. To Astros in 2023: Can I interest you in Chris Morel, Hunter Bigge, Hayden Wesneski, and our first round pick from this year?
  16. Do the Cubs make this trade if they don't have Shaw?
  17. Well this looks to be going down. Jed talking the big swing we've been waiting for. LFG.
  18. I'm preparing to lose Smith but really hope Caissie is the main prospect.
  19. To this I believe the difference is the approach. PCA is a different level of aggressive. But I've also shouted from the mountain tops that I thought his floor was really high because of the other parts of his game. I really didn't think 1.5-2 war would be outsized expectations for a guy that has absolutely mashed at every level and then took his OB game to new heights last season. I do believe he's capable of being above-average with the bat and the rest of his game will determine how valuable he really is on a WAR level at least.
