    Must. Have. Veterans. At . Every. Position.
  2. We Got The Whole 9
    Agreed, was thinking SP prospect(s)
  3. We Got The Whole 9
    Surprised we've gotten no wind on the return
  4. We Got The Whole 9
    The budget.
  5. We Got The Whole 9
    What in the horsefeathers.
  6. We Got The Whole 9
    Inconceivable unless they deal Nico
  7. We Got The Whole 9
    Am I reading the situation right? It sounds like he wants to stay in the middle of the country somewhere and will not go east or west. The mystery team is in one of the central divisions.
  8. We Got The Whole 9
    If this happens I imagine they would trade Nico to SEA, no? This would really block Shaw, unless they are just trying to pull a Bellinger again and rent him for a year or something.
  9. We Got The Whole 9
    Wouldn't be surprised if the Reds are in on it. They're supposedly competition for Estevez as well.
  10. We Got The Whole 9
    Make it happen, Jed.
  11. We Got The Whole 9
    Yeah I really like Pressly, I'd be down for this. I think he's a good fit. I'm a little susprised they weren't able to expand the Tucker deal to include him. It wasn't exactly a secret that he was available.
  12. We Got The Whole 9
    I could not be more bored with every post-Tucker transaction.

    Just read the article that basically said Ohtani led the push hard for L.A. They pulled out all the stops and appealed to his senses in several ways. Why rent out the biggest sushi restaurant in town (like TOR did for Ohtani) when you can just have a minority owner open his mansion and hire the best sushi chefs? Magic Johnson lives and breathes L.A. in a way the GOAT never does for Chicago. He got in on the recruiting. The team has made the postseason for a decade straight, are the defending champs, have 2 of the most prominent legends from the NPB already, a massive Japanese-American population, has the best development system in the league, has unlimited resources and 100% willingness from the owners to do whatever it takes to keep getting better. It was pretty much a foregone conclusion.

    Go super hard in FA. I mean spend it all. Besides the guys chasing rings we should be the prime destination to every FA. Plug every damn hole you can.
  15. We Got The Whole 9
    How do you not pivot right to Yates after losing Scott. Is our interest level not as high becuase he's RH?
  16. We Got The Whole 9
    Jed could have landed those guys and instead chose the quantity approach. I am so annoyed.
  17. We Got The Whole 9
    My comment was criticizing Caleb, not Daniel's. His comp% was only ok for a rookie because he lived in the 0-10 yard range. Anything beyond that he was historically inaccurate.
  18. We Got The Whole 9
    Under 10 yards, sure.
  19. We Got The Whole 9
    Yates and Robertson please. Stop horsefeathers around. Estevez is meh.
  20. We Got The Whole 9
    You guys make too many excuses for Caleb whose accuracy was historically awful. That wasn't all because he couldn't set his feet and square his shoulders to throw before the rush got to him.
  21. We Got The Whole 9
    I legit feel like they should win 130 games and make a mockery of the league.
  22. We Got The Whole 9
    I would have been fine with that contract for Minter.
  23. We Got The Whole 9
    I hate it too. It needs to be an acronym. Just use ED for Edge Defender, I guess. Unless there are words for GE I am unaware of and it's been a full acronym the entire time.
  24. We Got The Whole 9
    Well you want explosive athletes that also have a good approach at the plate and Hope definitely showed that. But that is an insane jump. It looks stupid right now.
  25. We Got The Whole 9
    Random - and this is just an observation and not a complaint or lamentation - but do we have the least amount of Latin American representation on a team in the league? I count Amaya and Assad as the only 2 major contributors. As many as we have Japanese players. If Brujan makes the team we have 3. We have to have the whitest team in the league. Our lack of ability to develop LA talent is pretty astonishing. On the 40 you also have Palencia, Vazquez, Canario, and Alcantara and only 1 of them was drafted/signed by the Cubs.
