    What kind of trade ? Significant/Major one would likely be in offseason. Minor/bandaid one would likely be tomorrow
  2. chibears55
    Couple of things worth watching.. How long Stroman pitches, if he does make his start, who not in the lineup tonight and of course the hug watch or who gets taken out of game early. Off topic.. PCA just got promoted to AAA today
  3. chibears55
    Decent start from Hendricks today if teams decide to make offers for him.
  4. chibears55
    I hope they extend him after the deadline, he young enough to be a big part of the future that could actually contend for a WS, build around him.
  5. chibears55
    They have a chance but that about all they might do, and then what ? They're not winning the WS with this roster, they now don't have the extra prospects in their system that could be a part of their near future roster. Yes it great They're beating up on the Cardinals the last week and beat the Whitesox to get themselves above 500, but do you really think theyre gonna play above 500 ball the rest of way? They're not winning the WS and the majority of this roster won't be a part of this team in 2-3 seasons, so there no point in keeping it together just to hope to win a crappy division and then be even further behind in the rebuild after the season.

    I'd like to see them buy younger ready to play now prospects and sell the guys that has no part in their future and they can get good prospects for
  7. chibears55
    Probably a bad secondary lead by Bellinger
  8. chibears55
    I agree with you, my thing was he could of gone at least 1 more and continued as long as he was pitching well. No reason Smyly couldn't come in the 5th, 6th, or 7th if Wesneski was shutting them down.
  9. chibears55
    No reason to pull Wesneski after 2 innings, he was pitching well and could of gone 1 more...
  10. chibears55
    Yep, for me with looking ahead to remainder of season, I'd like to see with Steele, Wesneski, and one or two others from the system to finish in the rotation the rest of season to see if they can be a part of it next season.
  11. chibears55
    Given that the majority of this roster more then likely wont be on this team after this season or next two, itll have very little affect.
  12. chibears55
    I just hope that Hoyer truly believes they have a great opportunity to not just make the playoffs but win too, hate to see them stay as is, or just add a couple minor upgrades, only to dip back under 500 by mid August or to be a one and done in the postseason.
  13. chibears55
    I dont know, I just feel like if they stand pat or just add a couple of guys, it still won't be enough. I just feel like they have another bad streak or two left in them that'll knock them out of any playoff hope
  14. chibears55
    What Stroman has done the last 10 years has no bearing on what he has done lately, no team gonna give up more for a guy who been struggling his last 6 or 7 starts based on what he done in the past. Cubs aren't going to get as good a value for him now, then they would of gotten for him 3-4 starts ago.
  15. chibears55
    I had mentioned at PSD before the break that maybe Hoyer should consider trading guys sooner rather then later to avoid bad starts before the deadline. Stroman value has been declining rapidly this month plus...
  16. chibears55
    Alzolay a boss.....
  17. chibears55
    I do, I think he does or will do what Hoyer asks, I don't see Hoyer asking him to do much though.
  18. chibears55
    I was just gonna say the same thing, we've been see him alot lately.
  19. chibears55
    I just feel the only way he returns is if they decide next season will be a transition year and they go with a couple of their younger SP plus Taillon, and Hendricks is there to be that vet SP to help them along with limited starts and pass the torch. (sorta speak)
  20. chibears55
    I'm only guessing, but if Hoyer does decide they're more pretenders then contenders after beating a couple of down teams in the Sox and Cardinals, he has 3 players he can move and get decent returns for in Bellinger, Stroman, and Hendricks.
  21. chibears55
    Tonight could be Hendricks last start as a Cub, and tomorrow could be Stroman last start.
  22. chibears55
    Yea, that a big reason why I haven't watched much Sox games the last few years, I couldn't stand Harrelson and Stone seems to be declining alot on the mic. For the record, I'm not a fan of Boog either
  23. chibears55
    Gotta feeling if they sweep the Sox and take 3 of 4 from the Cards again, we may see the Cubs stay as is and probably just add a couple upgrade to the roster. 3B, relievers, maybe a SP
  24. chibears55
    Right, he needs to have a high OBP and that starts with his batting average because he doesn't walk much.. he just not a guy you want on a contending team, he useful for a team rebuilding or going through the motion of putting a team together.
  25. chibears55
    Agree, id rather trade Suzuki and move Bellinger to RF
