i'm mad at the tigers for not just trading him to us for almora and crap at the regular deadline

With Uehara,CJ,Strop not being as dominating in the second half, I wouldn't mind bringing Verlander on to be an Andrew Miller 2 INN RP type in the playoffs. Let him throw 8-10 innings in a series. verlander would probably refuse to report to the team if the cubs tried to do that.

He's also still our best SS and it would be stupid to trade him I don't believe he is our best SS going forward. At least not in terms of offensive upside. I believe J. Baez can be just as good as A. Russell on defense if he cleans up a few things. He has unquestionably the strongest arm on the team. He makes plays no one else can make, including A. Russell. J. Baez is improving and getting better... I can't say the same thing for A. Russell. I really haven't seen any improvements from A. Russell at the plate or in his approach. I really doubt he improves much beyond hitting for more power. He should be getting better, but I'm almost positive his scouting report says "Don't throw him a fastball in the zone" and "really struggles to hit good breaking pitches inside and outside the zone". I mean the same thing can be said for Baez too. Baez is showing some improvement, but occasionally regresses and goes back into his bad habits. Look, I'm fine with keeping him (Russell). I said he's still super valuable because of his defense and power at SS, but I think Baez is better and has better chance of reaching his ceiling now. No harm in exploring trades for this kind of talent. I never said T. Turner for A. Russell...I said for a "T. Turner + J. Ross" type package. Personally, I do like T. Turner more than A. Russell as well, but I doubt Washington would even consider doing a Turner for Russell 1-for-1 swap. T. Turner is the better player and has a much higher upside IMO. I have no problem trading Russell for prospects, but they would have to be excellent consensus Top 100 prospects. you accidentally called a. russell by just his last name a couple times, please consider editing

hope he only gets to 65, i want sammy to keep the clean hr record

Well regardless of how well you post, you are still the 2nd best Navin to post at NSBB. Cool. I may change my screen name to Avis then. you should change your password and then forget it instead

az -16 no one bet on cobs

yeah i'm getting that immediately.

So anyone stupid enough to do this horsefeathers to him is now going to magically stop because the Cubs gave him a WS ring? no, no one thinks you're ever going to get over it.

crush the stupid brewers they are terrible

no

rip peterman too beautiful to live

fully expected this to be a link to faces of death

i want a full explanation of what is happening in your life from everyone who watches this game on purpose

montero is going to tweet some wild horsefeathers after he gets released, very excited

Things are fine. montero is quietly kind of a bad teammate between stuff like this and openly complaining about not playing enough last year.

he has more walks than strikeouts what are you talking about

everyone on last year's team besides fowler either voted for trump or didn't vote. it's nice that they are good at baseball to entertain us, but they aren't good people.

my friend of a friend who does stat stuff for the cubs is in this picture, I'll let you guys know when he texts me a picture of the big board

only one correct answer, gumshoes

i am totally fine with davis never pitching three days in a row barring extreme circumstances. and early june against the shitty cardinals does not qualify as extreme circumstances.

really not nice of the cubs to go straight trollface on the nl central and make them think they had a reason to exist in 2017, and yet here we are. release da dongs.

yes i am sure he would take our money if our money was the most money

cubs won the world series last year. can't have a fatalism thread anymore.
