  1. i am a teensy bit afraid that alcantara can't really play cf, so this would be nice for that reason as well.
  2. he stepped on the ankle by accident but immediately relished the opportunity to try to seriously harm someone. he really deserves no benefit of the doubt at this point.
  3. matt forte has been the bears' mvp this year. who is second?
  4. Seriously? Baez + (1 of those 3 guys) for 1 year of Ben Zobrist who will be 34 in May???? Are you kidding me? I like Zobrist as much as the next guy, but holy cow, what an overpay. You do realize you're talking about a top 10 prospect (Baez) and then basically a top 100 prospect or fringy for Zobrist. We got that package for Shark and Hammel. i really don't think intelligent people in baseball actually value Baez like a top-10 prospect; For the same reason I don't value a $100 bill as an actual $100 bill if I think it may accidentally fall into a paper shredder in the future. baez is a $100 bill that you had a sneaking suspicion was actually a $50 bill all along and is now on fire
  5. relying on big defensive numbers from a 34 year old who already doesn't play a premium defensive position seems like a bad plan to me

  8. i think they insist on Baez / Russell as centerpiece; i'd obviously be willing to part with Baez & one of Almora/Johnson/Vogelbach re Shields, i think i recall seeing his agent wants 5/110...i'll laugh when he inevitably 'settles' for 5/80 they can insist on on russell or baez when they have a guy who isn't old/reliant on 2b defense to trade
  9. yeah, i was wondering if that was a translation issue or something.
  10. oh my god is the starlin mspaint going to be depressing
  11. what's that about pillow gifts
  12. Who talks like that? someone reading off a phonetic cue card written by his brother
  13. why even link that i just threw up all over myself
  14. BURY HIS BAD NAME FOREVER
  15. REAL TALK after looking into the rules of the league i am sort of horribly intimidated. if you want to get to an even number by bumping me out rather than adding someone else on, that would probably be okay.
  16. i don't think you will be very excited by the davenport translations from the puerto rican lavendar farmers' league or whatever javy is in right now
  17. I'm just a known idiot, but I am aware that this crazy thing called "Spring Training" exists. "Hey Kris, go spend twenty minutes tracking down fly balls" on some high-sunned March morning. Boom, he now can handle left field. this post just makes me want a 20 minute video of you trying to catch fly balls on a sunny day. 1 minute of Kyle trying to catch fly balls, 19 minutes of him being loaded up and taken away in an ambulance. omc would be suuuuuuper into that video
  18. i don't think we have the cash on hand for maeda this offseason so i say this is a good thing. let's throw him onto the pile of starters to potentially go after next winter. also this is exhibit z in why signing actual available players (like jon lester!) is awesome and waiting for non-existent illusory players sucks.
