    Schwarber was used

    The sports teams in this city are hilariously bad
  3. r_mack
    Is it a bad time to let people know that Matt Adams just hit a go ahead homer in the 8th
  4. r_mack
    Still need a QB
  5. r_mack
    What happened to all the top hitting prospects that were going to make this team a force for the next decade?
  6. r_mack
    I'm not an Almora fan but one of Almora's strengths is hitting velocity.
  7. r_mack
    I've never looked or cared about pitching WAR. Just look at the advanced stats (FIP, xFIP, SIERA), or don't in the case of the Cubs

    You forgot NASCAR So does the TV audience

    They get a ton of credit for the high first rounders (Almora, Bryant, Schwarber); that's not easy. But what have they done outside those picks? Bote? They were good at getting talent out of the 1st round in Boston, I guess the loose money restrictions played a huge role in what they did. Happ, Cease, they drafted Rizzo in Boston, Willy (not a pick but developed), Torres/Eloy we used for the exact reason they were signed as capital to add real MLB talent (argue about the return all you want). Didn't mean to leave Happ out. I don't count the IFA's, they went way over budget that year something you can't do in 2018. The truth is, teams are on a more even playing field now and other teams are doing better at finding talent than them.

    They could actually draft in Boston This is a nuclear take, even for you They get a ton of credit for the high first rounders (Almora, Bryant, Schwarber); that's not easy.

    It’s funny because both good and bad, this is exactly how his Boston run went. They could actually draft in Boston

    I mean the loss of Morrow has made minimal impact at best. Teams like the Astros are winning despite not having Altuve, Springer, and Correa.
  13. r_mack
    The Cubs can trade Happ, Almora, Russell and their top 5 prospects and that wouldn't be enough to get Mike Trout. The Astros can literally just go to the Angels and offer both their top 10 prospects (Whitley and Tucker) and a few fillers and it would beat that offer. The only way the Cubs have a legit shot if Trout was on the market is if they included Bryant or Baez in a deal.
  14. r_mack
    Trout isn't just a superstar... He's BY FAR the best player in MLB and in his prime. It would take an insane offer for the Angels to even consider trading him. Trouts better but looked what extemely young Arod and Miguel Cabreras fetched in a trade. Im not saying that 5 for 1 deal gets it done. But 3 young bonafide mlb players that were elite prospects plus 2 more good prospects has to put you in the convo. Nobody in the idiotic Cubs package proposed above is in the same universe as Alfonso Soriano
  15. r_mack
    Roquan will be well worth the draft pick whenever he gets signed
  16. r_mack
    Maybe this is why the Cubs didn't use Almora vs RHP at the beginning of the season

    Goodbye sweet prince

    Good, hope Maddon keeps pissing people off. This one makes no sense though because almost every manager would bring an outfielder into the infield.
  21. r_mack
    Who are you replacing him with?
  22. r_mack
    Oh he'll do that too
  23. r_mack
    Pretty sure it's the players now and not the hitting coach
  24. r_mack
    Of course
  25. r_mack
    Yeah, please don't celebrate. Only Baez is allowed to do that.
