    Cubs have enough George Clinton. They need some Bruce Dickinson.
  2. We Got The Whole 9
    We would be balling if we had Harbaugh. Warren needs to go. Letting personal differences get in the way of what is best for the team is inexcusable. He does not deserve to make this hire. I want Lex Luthor from Amazon to make this call more than him.

    Damn we won in Boston with their whole squad healthy? Was that Ayo on Holiday all night? Jrue's line was brutal. Zach had a killer game. Vuc is almost shooting 50% from 3. Those 2 have elite efficiency this year and damn near every team should be on them. You really care if your C plays defense if he's putting up a 70% TS? How about an explosive guard who can shoot the lights out but gets lazy and clumsy at times? Y'all can take those salaries. Let's get some good offers, we need 1s.

    Good thing they only need to be bench players then. We have plenty of offense, we don't need to spend precious dollars on the bench, especially when we have 5 more top 100 prospects in Iowa and big needs in the pen and rotation. They have a backup C, a lefty masher that can cover all 3 OF spots if needed, and 2 guys who can spell all over the IF. Those guys aren't spring chickens and they've been productive prospects that project to be around 85 wRC+. I'd be fine if they traded for one but not at a 7M price tag.

    We had 4 unproven players carry us to the NLCS once

    Again I hope they don't spend big on the bench. I hate the idea. There's so many prospects that we need to start integrating this year. Buy 2 of the best pen arms you can get for 20, give 20 to a SP and call it a winter.

    That's actually pretty amazing. We don't need to think so rigidly. You can find amazing value this way.

    I didn't realize Pablo is so young. I'd far prefer him to Castillo.

    Never gave a horsefeathers. That man was the only reason to watch after Kerry lost it until 2003. 292 HR in a 5-year span will never be topped. Let's not forget that he was 30-30 twice and 20-20 twice before the steroids. 2004 was ugly but that season broke all of us and closed the chapter on one of the most exciting times we had as fans. Gonna watch a reel now. And those bombs he hit off the Marlins were insane. I can't imagine what it was like living in the neighborhood at that time.

    The thing that has always jumped out to me with Shaw is the oppo% and I believe he will have to adjust. KB was an oppo monster in MiLB and almost completely removed it from his game in 2016 and intermittently found success thereafter. He likely found it more difficult to let the pitch travel against big leaguers, but Wrigley's preposterously deep RF and inviting LCF surely had something to do with it. I'm sure teams are gonna challenge the hell out of him to pull fly balls. Javy and Sammy hit a lot of oppo homers but there weren't many that had consistent success doing so. The Cubs are gonna hammer him with the league success of pull/oppo and we will see if his rates normalize a little more in MLB. The MLB hitter he reminds me of is Matt McClain. He obviously had a lot of success in his one year, so we will see.

    I agree and feel like they will all take 1 or 2 year deals. Right up Jed's alley. I think Minter and Yates would be absolutely insane and give us the best pen we've ever had.
  12. We Got The Whole 9
    I shouted this pretty much all year but his floor is that high. Just hope his reckless abandon doesn't send him on lengthy IL stints.
  13. We Got The Whole 9
    I don't really know their roster but there's not a bench player worth talking about?
  14. We Got The Whole 9
    How the horsefeathers is Ryan Feltner worth Caissie?
  15. We Got The Whole 9
    Had an article pop up on my feed saying the Yankees should trade for Tristan McKenzie and I'm low-key hoping Carter beats em to the punch, but maybe there won't be room for him.
  16. We Got The Whole 9
    They probably insisted on Caissie or Alcantara and he's not worth that coming off of the season he had and the questions of his health.
  17. We Got The Whole 9
    If PCA goes down do they use Tucker in CF or just call up Alcantara?
  18. We Got The Whole 9
    Wow feels a bit like 16-17 again. If PCA hits, look out.
  19. We Got The Whole 9
    Triantos and Gray enough?
  20. We Got The Whole 9
    Teams are only 15-12 when their QBs throw for 500, almost added another loss with Goff coming 6 yards short.
  21. We Got The Whole 9
    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.
  22. We Got The Whole 9
    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.

    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.
  25. We Got The Whole 9
    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.
