  1. If Moncada is really a super-rare 1.1 talent like some of these stories have claimed, then fine. But if he's a Soler-type, I don't think I want to blow $60m or whatever off our 2015 baseball budget that could be used to help the MLB team win.
  2. He seems to be pretty good at basketball.
  3. I'm worried that we're going to decide everyone is too expensive and just sit on a ton of empty payroll like last offseason. I'm not a huge Martin fan, but he's not nothing.
  4. Someone on GWB posted "All this time we were worried about how he'd deal with the fastball, but it turned out to be the curve he couldn't handle.
  5. The Central in general doesn't look as scary long-term as it did a year ago.
  6. Defining it that way would make the penalties moot. I don't think MLB would take too kindly to that.
  7. Initial stat scan says "crappy version of Dallas Beeler."
  8. The draft screws over amateur domestic talent so hard.
  9. They stopped doing the strict conference thing.
  10. The idea of getting a really good, slightly cost-controlled starter is making me miss Jeff Samardzija.
  11. All of the projection systems are awful.
  12. hey look the Hawks are outshooting Tampa Bay 19-6 through one period but losing.
  13. 1.5 years of Samardzija, an inferior pitcher, got Addison Russell.
  14. So either a) We aren't liking the way the FA pitcher market is setting up b) We're trying to send out signals that we aren't liking the way the FA pitcher market is setting up c) None of the above I love offseason rumors.
  15. Great! My willingness to trade him is based out of concern, not actively hoping he fails, so it's not like a player on my favorite team turning out to be good would be a bad thing. It might ruin our draft position and cost us the next Kris Bryant.
  16. We're probably being too optimistic talking about Yoan in this thread. It's weird to me that people think it's a serious possibility we can convince him to just wait 7 months to sign or whatever.
  17. They got in a fight at an FBI party.
  18. It's a dealing. The entire point of the rule is to (rather futilely) prevent those precise kinds of discussions.
  19. Hey, I didn't make up the definition. No, you just made up the source you chose to take it from. Words aren't allowed to have different definitions in different contexts. That would be chaos.
  20. Maybe I'm being super-paranoid, but I'm wondering if our sudden love of Russell Martin came about from getting vibes on the big FA pitchers.
  21. You've never heard of Jose Abreu? Jesus he made the all star team and everything. We couldn't have used him because neither he nor Rizzo could have handled LF, or something.
