    Sure, but Smith should probably have had those plate appearances in the minors, yeah? And then wouldn’t have made them while learning a new position at the MLB level. (Of the team that just traded a perennial all-star for you. Yeah, a bit of an excuse, but still gotta be hard on a kid, I’d think. Shaw is also almost two years older (loose math.)) Watching Ramirez’s at-bats these past few weeks, he doesn’t look like a kid up there feeling for hits. He looks like a potential dude finding his footing (to an armchair scout.) I’d hate to see him go. (Maybe I’m a bit enamored with the Mookie and Jose Ramirez comps earlier this year, but he looks so damn calm and polished.) (Morel was me! He made those ****** teams enjoyable to watch because he was so damn joyful, along with some fun moments. But yes, he never turned those tools into anything useful.)

    I dunno. Calling it ‘value for a 6th round pick’ doesn’t feel right. He was paid second round money. And it’s not like we have fuckall to show for our past few drafts. If Pedro is traded, that means both Cam Smith and he were traded to keep horsefeathers Matt Shaw around.

    South Bend in a delay

    We have one legit prospect, be nice to not trade him for a rental. If the Cubs can get better, and keep PCA, Ramirez and Hartshorn, I’ll feel great about it.

    Kenley Jansen is a right handed back of the bullpen arm, I haven't heard much about him

    Yeah, this TDL should give, theoretically, a hint at what direction they are going in RF next year (I firmly believe if they offer Happ a QO, he’ll take it and be back in LF doing what he do. Seiya might as well, considering if there is a lockout, he’d still get paid. I don’t imagine FAs do?) CC seems to be sour on Alcantara, ONKC is gone, Hartshorn and Kepley are both a bit away. Does anyone believe Shaw is a good answer for RF next year?

    Up that price baby!
  8. JunkyardWalrus
    Most goddam true thing I've read on the internet.
  9. JunkyardWalrus
    Is Shaw better defensively than Ramirez? Is Shaw even alive? Where's he at?
  10. JunkyardWalrus
    I kinda hope they do? At least it would deplete some of their farm before they sign him in the off-season.
  11. JunkyardWalrus
    In a row?!
  12. JunkyardWalrus
    Yikes. He and Hodge were two I was high on. (And Adzolay, Marquez… )
  13. JunkyardWalrus
    Is that Luke Little in AA?
  14. JunkyardWalrus
    I horsefeathers hope not.
  15. JunkyardWalrus
    Still need at least one OF next year, two if somehow Happ turns down the QO.
  16. JunkyardWalrus
    That's generous.
  17. JunkyardWalrus
    Borthwickson?
  18. JunkyardWalrus
    So, not South Bend?
  19. JunkyardWalrus
    Pendulums swing, but the idea of changing how pitchers are used is most likely the evolution. Starters and RP have already started to blend (opener.) Seems like something between starter and RP may be a sweet spot, 100- 120 innings? I dunno. Maybe more yoga?

    Every time someone writes 'Conrad' I read it 'Comrade.' I still don't believe he exists.
  21. JunkyardWalrus
    Only ARam had that luxury cowpoke
  22. JunkyardWalrus
    If Happ is given a QO, I can almost guarantee he stays. 50/50 on Seiya on the QO. I highly doubt both are gone come next season.
  23. JunkyardWalrus
    Why'd Montgomery get the trophy? That must have been a wild ride.

    How often can you see the actual ‘wins’ in WAR as they happen?
