  1. He’s who I’m moving Shaw+ for. Ground ball pitcher who is a bulldog. Would love to have him at the top of our rotation the next 2.5 years.
  2. I know the Giants have some decent prospects at catcher, but they’re someone to watch with throwing in the towel early. It’s been a horsefeathers show there with Posey, Devers, Tony V, and recently Webb slipping up and saying he shouldn’t have even been pitching when he had a hurt knee.
  3. There's absolutely a narrow path that I would be for the Cubs taking a risk on Skubal. So many factors in play though that it's tough to answer that question right now.
  4. That’s what I was thinking. I’m slightly confused on the verbiage I’m seeing reported. The report above is the most detailed and sounds like it came directly from CC. Taylor reported “full TJ”, so I originally thought it wasn’t the brace surgery.
  5. Do they stick Brown as the closer or is it just committee/matchups at this point?
  6. Yea, that’s my preferred setup at the top. I was hoping CC would stick with Nico at leadoff moving forwards and I just really like Busch in the 2 hole.
  7. Calling it now, we're going to have a juiced ball season.
  8. Looks like Chourio has a broken hand.... Also, here's a nifty site for all you fantasy baseball savants. (Take a peep at Wrigley today) https://www.ballparkpal.com/Park-Factors.php
  9. He did the same in 23. Touching 97 multiple times with a big K against Alonso I believe. I got way too excited for him after that.
  10. CC said at the winter meetings the plan is for Busch to start against lefties in 2026. They obviously still need a plan in place for injury, struggles, etc, but the hope is Busch no longer needs a full time platoon partner.
  11. Glad we didn't end up trading for Pablo Lopez
  12. I get wanting to have a near playoff ready roster day 1, but IMO there's more value in giving Mo runway at DH vs blocking him with someone who at most is going to be marginally better. If at the TDL he has a 115 wRC+, great, you don't need a LH hitting DH. If he struggles, make a move for a platoon bat (they're a dime a dozen) and send Mo down to work on the what they've learned about him facing big league pitching.
  13. Ended up being two Comp B picks according to Passan - Cijntje is #91 on pipeline. 2024 15th overall pick.
