    I think Alcantara certainly should be in play. Theres a pretty slim chance that he ever plays for the Cubs, they need to solve that roster crunch, and he's dripping with tools on a rare physical stature, he should be quite coveted. Wicks and Ferris probably aren't going to be enough to headline a deal like that. I do think that Ferris would be quite a secondary piece with his pedigree and easy LH velo at a young age. These are exactly the guys that we should be packaging; guys with high ceilings that probably won't be of major consequence for a few years to our MLB roster. Not crazy about buying a reliever and I'll be less than surprised when he falls off a cliff upon donning the Cubs uniform. But it would fill a huge need and keep the near future intact. The Cubs have the depth to withstand a deal like that easily.

    I think Alcantara+ could land him
  3. We Got The Whole 9
    I'm really interested to see what Hoykins does. They need to clean up the pending 40 man mess and this feels like a great time to do it. Now is the time to get more long-term fixtures. Protect PCA and Horton, wouldn't be surprised to see Alcantara traded, Ferris seems like an arm that would have good weight to it, and see what Vazquez can get you. Cut bait with Mancini and get Mervis up pronto. You add a couple power bats to the lineup and bring in some help in the pen and this team becomes pretty scary.

    1908 hasn't posted this much in game threads since 2017 lol

    It's starting to feel a little 2007-like. I remember it felt like an impossible hill to climb but they got red-hot in the 2nd half and somehow surpassed the CY Sabathias.
  6. We Got The Whole 9
    Easy to see that stupid ass decision coming back to bite us
  7. We Got The Whole 9
    Did not think that was going out
  8. We Got The Whole 9
    Rojas homered again. PCA has a pair of walks Kipp and Birdsell just keep cruising in pretty much each start
  9. We Got The Whole 9
    Cubs clearly only planned to let Wesneski face the lineup once
  10. We Got The Whole 9
    We keep trying to attack Nootbar high and he's killed us.
  11. We Got The Whole 9
    That's so annoying.
  12. We Got The Whole 9
    They horsefeathers did it! A month ago I would have told you there is no way they will ever get to .500. That RD yo
  13. We Got The Whole 9
    And then hit another because of course he did
  14. We Got The Whole 9
    Angels take Ohtani off the market and he responds by throwing a 1-hitter
  15. We Got The Whole 9
    He's been awful for sure but you have to take the totality of the season into account. He's still been far better than Giolito, who btw has a 5 ERA and FIP over his last 5 starts. Stroman's contract probably complicates things though. But the bottom line is that Stroman is still having a Stroman season. Just about every metric is pretty much in line with his career norms. He's never been an ace and has never put up an ERA under 3 in a full season. You get him for expected MORP production and the high GB rate/contact suppression.

    The Sox got a decent 50 prospect for Giolito. We could definitely use more of those. However I can't see Hoyer moving Stroman while the team is pushing .500, especially with how much he talks up the human side to roster construction. I've pretty much accepted that they won't be adding any meaningful prospects. I am really interested in seeing him clean up the 40 man issues we will face shortly though.

    Ballesteros - bad body and defense and all - has to get some prospect love this offseason, right? Gonna be going into AA at 20 coming off of a season where he likely drew more walks than times struck out (currently at 54:50) with a well-below league average strikeout rate (14.7). Currently running a 20 HR/40 2B pace per 600 PA and a 143 over the two levels played at. The kid has raked.

    So the White Sox got a 50 and a 40 for Giolito from the Angels. Quero is the clear get; 20 year old C/probable DH, switch-hitter, whos already doing quite well in AA after skipping A+.
  19. We Got The Whole 9
    Hell of an AB by Tauchman. Just an all around gritty comeback.
  20. We Got The Whole 9
    Good spot for Amaya... I'm convinced they do not trust his defense behind the plate yet... His metrics are not that great... Although they are almost exactly in line with what they get out of Gomes. So maybe they are just stupid.
  21. We Got The Whole 9
    Or maybe it hasn't. There is 10+ years of data on Marcus Stroman. Teams know he's not an ace but he's still a quality 2 and there's still plenty of interest in trading for him. Didn't you also infer we should have traded Bellinger early as well?
  22. We Got The Whole 9
    Old enough to have recorded Company Flow on VHS lol
  23. We Got The Whole 9
    Booooo That's just a dog horsefeathers effort again, Stroman
  24. We Got The Whole 9
    His command is just gone
  25. We Got The Whole 9
    Maybe cut out the 2 out walks. Stop sucking.
