    if the cubs' payroll is at or near 75 million next year, i will take that as the final invitation i need to ditch the franchise. not particularly concerned that this will actually happen though. sullivan likes to say things to upset people.

    i was at my parents' house and i was watching the cubs game and checking espn.com all day hoping for nomar news. when the deadline passed and they said it wasn't happening, i was super sad and left the tv on and walked out of the room. i was hanging out in the kitchen a while later and i looked over at the tv and i saw nomar's face and the headline and ran around the house jumping up and down. also, thinking about this has made me think about the nomar cartoon thing i made way back then. if i remember correctly, i initially tried tried to make a recap of the day's events using legos. it was a complete failure.

    Well he's safely in the top 7 so that's pretty much semantics. it can't be semantics when we're talking about numbers. we know what numbers mean. it would be arguing over semantics if someone said sano was an elite prospect and someone else said he's only near-elite and then we had to hash out definitions for those terms.

    it would be okay with me if starlin kept that line going for the next, say, 7000 plate appearances or so

    I really think you're pulling that assumption out of thin air. Just because the big rumor guys needed something to throw at a wall and heard Towers called the Cubs again about Shark doesn't mean there's any doubts or concern about Shark. That's possible, but the mentions have been varied enough in both time and source to make me wonder. I'm not angry at the news itself, but the repeated mentions give me some uneasiness for reasons already mentioned. As for the Pirates, I wouldn't treat them any differently than any other team. The price for Samardzija should be prohibitively high. On the order of Cole/Delgado/Bradley Jr + Taillon/Skaggs/Webster + another piece of significance. If the Pirates are the team that wants to pay that price, let them. i think you're underselling your previous point here, which was a very good one. i am not really concerned much at all that the cubs aren't planning on being good while samardzija is under team control, but the idea that the front office may value samardzija less than i'd like them to (whether due to insider info on injuries or something involving his underlying performance) does give me pause. i like samardzija a lot, so if people who are smarter than me and have way more information than i do like him less than i do, that's a bad thing.

    vitters doesn't appear to be a third baseman at this point, which is really bad for him. playing really good defense at third can allow for a lot of mediocre hitting while still providing value. it's obviously going to take some doing for olt to get himself to be even a mediocre hitter in the majors, but vitters needs to figure out how to hit even better than that AND learn how to play a new position even adequately if he wants to be of similar value. vitters and olt both have a lot of work to do to become useful major league players, but i think olt has an easier path and is more likely to do it.

    i'm not saying you should murder him but maybe that would fix all your problems

    passed balls should be errors.

    that would be AWESOME if the indians were too cheap to send out a scout and insisted we put lake in games on tv so they could decide whether to trade for him

    "and what about matt harvey?" "well, you know, he's a stud." "thank you."

    luke jackson PROS throws hard, strikes out lots of guys CONS walks lots of guys, suffers from early 2010s white man tool hair/hat malady mike olt PROS looks like a power hitting third baseman, used to hit like a power hitting third baseman CONS currently hits like [expletive] neil ramirez PROS currently striking out everyone in aa CONS is 24 in aa, is in aa because last year he was sort of a disaster at aaa, first name won out over last name and therefore is white ON THE WHOLE this would be okay i guess because i really don't think we are considering re-signing garza at all, but it would be nice if there was one prospect here without an "uhhh, this will need to change completely for him to be a real major leaguer" red flag attached.
