    Beating up on bad teams and teams with horrible starting pitching for 3 weeks was fun, but we aren’t in the same league with the Braves. I had a feeling they were going to humble us real quick. Their offense rakes 1-9 and when they really turn it on, my god they are unstoppable.

    Lineup construction doesn’t matter in the grand scheme. It’s not worth getting mad about daily. Ross’ batting order is definitely not the way I would do it, but again, it doesn’t really matter.

    I think I let him stick in AA the rest of the year. He’s still one of the youngest players at that level. No need in rushing him. Let’s make sure he can sustain the lowered K rate over a longer period. He can get close to a full season of AAA next year and still be well ahead of schedule.

    Need this one with the best team in baseball touching down in Wrigley this weekend. The Braves rake.

    Apparently Jesse Rogers said this morning that the Yankees would have given up Jasson Dominguez + for Bellinger and that they were desperate for him. Dominguez is very intriguing and toolsy as hell, but he’s having a down year. He is just 20 in AA though. It doesn’t matter now, I just thought that was interesting.

    Cuas up for Stroman also

    I don’t know. Just posted his line I saw on Twitter.

    I’ll take my chance with literally any LHP in our system over Kay. He’s gotta go.

    Kilian 6 scoreless with 6K’s tonight
  11. JD94
    Jesse Rogers says no more moves for the cubs.

    Cerami has a serious source in the FO.

    I’m just ready for Sunday. Steele vs Strider. That’s going to be a fun one.
  14. JD94
    I’d be good with that also.

    I’m not giving up PCA or Horton for Alonso. But I’d be willing to give them anybody else and a strong secondary piece. I’d give Alcantara and Ferris for example.
  16. JD94
    We better not give up much for a platoon 3B.

    You have to take into account the LT angle. They aren’t going to go over it. Period. Not this year. Not for a team that’s really mediocre with a lot of holes. They are going to have to get creative to open up some wiggle room. Not much you can do when you only have $5M to play with. That might get you a decent reliever and a okay rental bat.

    Has he been playing since he hurt his shoulder?

    AZ Phil says don’t count out that possibility that Stroman could be scratched tonight and Kilian makes a spot start. Meaning if Stroman is scratched, he’s likely getting dealt, and obviously if not, he probably won’t get traded. I could absolutely see Jed trading Stroman and riding with Wesneski and still buying small pieces to help the rest of the way. Just throwing that out there. I wouldn’t imagine it happens though.
  20. JD94
    Heck yeah!
  21. JD94
    245 tomorrow afternoon
  22. JD94
    Yeah there was a report early they would listen, but it’s been crickets on Alonso for a while now. Doesn’t sound like there’s much traction there to move him.
  23. JD94
    David Bednar has been elite the last 3 years. He’s thrown a total of 152 innings and has a total of a 4.5 fWAR. Cade Horton could most likely get you very close to that same value in 1 year. So no.. I’m not giving up one of the best pitching prospects in the game for a reliever that’s giving me ~1fWAR a year. It blows my mind how anybody could be okay with that. This isn’t a 2016 Chapman scenario.

    I wanted Westburg bad in a Stroman trade right before he got called up.
  25. JD94
    Lord no. That would be an awful trade. Cubs get fleeced. The Pirates would pack Bednars bags for him if we called and offered that.
