    Cruz was one of the oldest looking 20 year olds I've ever seen

    god what a dark and horsefeathers couple of years that was trading sammy and throwing him under the bus, replacing him with jeromy horsefeathering burnitz, nomar rips his groin off like an hour into the season, surprise d-lee becomes a superstar, next year d-lee still looking superstarish and smashes his wrist 3 hours into the season (and is never really the same, albeit still v good), all the while we all come to the slow realization that 2003 mark prior is never coming back and kerry wood's career might also be over Ugh, I was at the game when Furcal barreled into Lee's wrist. The ink had barely dried on his new contract when that occurred. What a heartbreaker. He was off to a hot start too. Looked like he was gonna prove 05 was no fluke.

    Hicks was an absolute animal and deserved DPOY votes if you tossed records aside

    I'd take Cahill over Cashner any day of the week

    I usually say that players in their 30s aren't going to improve their plate approach all that much but this guy came into last year with a career Oswing around 34% and had never posted a single season under 32, and yet, he posted a 25% last season. His contact% didn't reach new heights and neither did his batting line, but still, he sure tried to be super patient and his improvement in that area was quite remarkable.

    Phil Coke trying to come back as a knuckle ball pitcher. If successful he would be the first LH knuckler since Daniel Boone retired in 1990. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

    Bryant is going to hit a new level of offense and have his best season yet

    So excited for Urlacher's induction. He changed the game. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

    Fine, I'd still keep Sitton
  10. We Got The Whole 9
    I went with the Sheffield waggle a lot. Before that I remember positioning my legs like Dawson used to.
  11. We Got The Whole 9
    He would make more than that. 3.5 is just the savings of they cut him. With the injuries and PEDs, I find him the easiest cut of that group. Also, fyi on Sitton, they have to make the option within the first few days of the league year. Its an option and becomes guaranteed once taken. So they won't be able to play the FA market the same way as some of the other guys who have large unguaranteed portions. Freeman signed a 3/12 deal and has a 4m cap hit. I'm not gonna complain if we do cut him but I think when he's healthy he's one of the better ILB in the game. He can captain a defense and has a great nose for the ball. As depth I don't think we can do a lot better in terms of actual play on the field and he will be cheap. The suspension doesn't really deter me. Sucks that he got caught but there's not a lot of risk at that price IMO. Thanks for pointing that out with Sitton. I would absolutely pick up that option. Kyle's body is ravaged also and we have no idea what we will get from him. Cody had a poor year and has plenty of questions surrounding him as well. We can't guarantee the signing of anybody in FA so pick it up and keep the OL as strong as you can and hope to make it even stronger in FA.

    I would probably cut em all except for Massie, Sitton, and Freeman I understand we need to address and overhaul the OL in this offseason but I think we should keep the vets for depth. If we can sign Norwell then I say adios Sitton, but if not, I think his play on the field, albeit in limited availability, is worth the money. Massie improved quite a bit after like week 5 or 6 and ended the season on a decent run. Might as well see what you get out of a contract year, the RTs in FA aren't too appealing, and I'd rather not force a draft pick into a week 1 starter. I'm hoping Pace doesn't go OL in round 1, unless it's in a trade back. This is a decently deep draft for quality OL and we could bolster the unit with a couple mid rounders. Freeman is just too cheap to cut IMO. Gotta think he is capable of avoiding injury eventually and he's good depth/vet savvy IMO. I think Kwiatkoski is coming along very well and he and Trevathan make a good pair inside. Freeman backing them up for 3m is fine.

    Verlander and Cole are controlled for 2 years. They can slowly bring Whitley and Martes along and keep them around in case of injuries. I don't think they intend to trade him. He will only be 25 when those 2 are FA.

    They did well in that aspect FWIW. I imagine we are at the bottom in terms of major injuries to prospects in the last 5 years. But they missed out on the high ceiling arms in doing so. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

    What do you guys think of Edmunds if we stay put and he's there at 8? Talking about a guy who is very raw but is getting Urlacher comps for his size and athleticism combo, who can be deployed in many different facets within the defense, and will be 19 on draft day. Really rare specimen, but with plenty of risk.

    Among the 4 major sports Chicago had 5 All-Star selections for this year. I believe Kane was the only starter. I feel like this is the lowest total in quite some time. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

    Boras says MLB should step in and prevent teams from tanking. He says their intent to win should be treated similarly to the Black Sox. Some of the remaining FA are talking about holding their own spring training together. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

    I like Cain as a guy who can give you 8-9 WAR pretty comfortably over the next 3 years but I would be terrified of owing him 35m for his age 35 and 36 seasons. And a NTC, to boot.

    He said zero relief pitchers will be ready to contribute from within the system by 2020. He doesn't even baseball.
  24. We Got The Whole 9
    They're reporting that we likely can't get a 1st unless it's a 3 way trade and things are obviously a little more complicated when that's the case. I think it'll go down to the wire and I'm cool with that.
  25. We Got The Whole 9
    Would you rather they maximize their value or simply move them to expedite the tank?
