Chase Utley
hawkeyecub replied to sontensei's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
if you could get utley and trade them castro + mid level prospects it would be great. would free up alot of money in the offseason You're giving up Castro + mid level prospects for this version of Chase Utley? Just stop. Someone mentioned Starlin's salary and you've been acting like he makes $20M the last few days. He's due less than $8M next year. -
Am I missing Addison here?

Reports that Montero is expected back on Thursday. So you're probably just looking at someone like Szczur for 3 days on the bench.

Because that's something you can just do with no repercussions. Is it? Because who the hell knows, assuming the player is down with it. As I recall, a few years back when Zack Greinke came out with his social anxiety disorder, and suddenly underpermforming players such as Dontrelle Willis and Milton Bradley were coming out of the woodwork saying "oh yeah, I have that too," there was debate (I believe S.I.) over whether or not a seperate DL for "mental breaks" should be a thing. Maybe it should be. Cripes. No, I was being sarcastic. Starlin isn't going to agree to a phony injury to be shut down for 2 months in a playoff race so that someone younger and cheaper can take his job, thus ending his season with the worst numbers of his career.

Yes, by OPSing under .600 this season, he's definitely done that. Yes, everyone knows he's had a terrible season. Talking about DFAing or releasing him at this point is dumb. Incredibly. At this point, they may as well just DL him, call up Javy, and send him back in for repairs in the offseason. Because that's something you can just do with no repercussions.

7/31 Cubs (Hammel) @ Brewers (Jungmann) 7:10, WGN
hawkeyecub replied to soccer10k's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
That's what I was thinking. I know he rates well as a framer and he may have gotten a few last night (or home plate was just bad) but he hasn't looked good behind the plate the last two nights. -
Oh for [expletive]'s sake.
-
Yeah I'm sure it was just like that.
-
Whoa, look at Mr. "Don't say anything that's not nice to posters or they'll all leave and that would be terrible!" lashing out.

Rangers keeping Gallardo, Nightengale says Red Sox staying pat.
-
Astros out, Yankees not hearing back. Who else is in the mix?
-
Go away

Padres beat writer was just on MLB Network, said Baez is the guy to keep an eye on. Thinks the Padres are really high on him.
-
I don't know where you're getting that from. I don't see many demanding that they go "all in".
-
I wonder if they're haggling over Baez and what would have to be included... [tweet] [/tweet]

7/30 Cubs (Arrieta) @ Brewers (Nelson) 7:10, CSN
hawkeyecub replied to soccer10k's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
tell that to the royals The Royals ran into a collapsing Oakland team and got a home game in that Wild Card. The Cubs are all but guaranteed to get a good Pittsburgh team in Pittsburgh. If they win that? St. Louis. Yeah, totally different from the 88 win Giants winning at Pittsburgh then taking care of the 96 win Nationals in 4 games, then the Cardinals in 5 games. -

2015 trading deadline

What? That writer is a putz. -
Except for the 35 points of OBP and 58 points of SLG.

He's a [expletive] 21 year old rookie!
-
He joined this year and has started approximately 839 threads with people saying the same thing for the last 676. 1. He isn't going anywhere because of that. 2. If he does, he does. Same for you or anyone. It's a [expletive] message board. If people post stupid things you can make fun of their post. The goal isn't to rack up as many people as possible here. If you want to go somewhere with the most members, go for it. 3. The forum isn't going to die because cracked out threads that are started everyday earn a sarcastic comment.

Going in for the games vs. the Rockies next Tuesday and Wednesday. How has the market been around Wrigley this year? Am I better off going StubHub? Obviously if anyone here has any for sale, let me know.

Pitchers aren't going to publicly complain about his game calling.
