    If only they had one of the deepest and highest-rated farm systems in the game. Then maybe they'd be in position to replenish that depth...
  2. Hairyducked Idiot
    I'm not sure there's been a player in baseball history more Javy than Javy.
  3. Hairyducked Idiot
    It's a stretch to call him a star. And he was the only guy to trade and potentially get back a haul. The haul wasn't there, other teams knew the Hawks were against the cap. If Stan found a deal I'm sure he would have been gone. But that being said the cap crunch coming Im glad they kept Sharp for another Cup run. Probably wont make a serious run again until 2018. If they had wanted to trade Sharp, the haul was there. They've proven time and again that the "teams will know they are up against the cap" theory is silly. As long as you have two interested teams in a player, you have plenty of leverage.

    Trying is scary because it carries with it the possibility of failure. Basking in the glow of perpetual but vaguely defined progress is more fun.
  5. Hairyducked Idiot
    Sharp hurt. TT time?
  6. Hairyducked Idiot
    That makes me kinda want to trade Wood.
  7. Hairyducked Idiot
    Blowout games where the key players stop trying are completely killing me.
  8. Hairyducked Idiot
    Many on NSBB would have gone he same route (except for Kyle) Almost nobody here wanted this path until they took it. Except for the visionary davearm. But that's over now. We're about to be awesome.
  9. Hairyducked Idiot
    OK, this guy is pretty damn cool.
  10. Hairyducked Idiot
    I just remember wanting to let Ramirez walk because I assumed the savings would be spent on other good MLB players.
  11. Hairyducked Idiot
    Would you rather have our IFA class or a normal IFA class and the ability to go nuts on that guy?
  12. Hairyducked Idiot
    Just the opposite. I was super skeptical of it when it first started coming out and now I feel dumb.
  13. Hairyducked Idiot
    It's been that way for an offseason or two.
  14. Hairyducked Idiot
    I don't think this signals a Wood trade. It's pitching. Anything short of too much depth is not enough.
  15. Hairyducked Idiot
    We should have paid a guy $100k to teach Renteria to manage like Maddon.
  16. Hairyducked Idiot
    He's a guy.
  17. Hairyducked Idiot
    Maddon's agent is on our side in this one. It's not like he's some independent, impartial observer. And MLB can confirm that the Cubs asked for permission to talk to him formally, but that doesn't disprove that they had previous contact. But agreed, it doesn't matter because it's not going anywhere. Everybody tampers all the time and nobody can ever prove it so it doesn't matter.
  18. Hairyducked Idiot
    Nothing's going to happen. Tampering never goes anywhere. It would barely be a story if people weren't bored. But the fact that the Cubs have a version of events doesn't end it.
  19. Hairyducked Idiot
    Uh, he's not wrong. Not that it matters. He's not wrong either.
  20. Hairyducked Idiot
    Guys they *say* they didn't do it! Tampa will totally drop it now.
  21. Hairyducked Idiot
    And that should end the tampering discussion. Tampering won't get anywhere, but the people accused denying it won't end the discussion. Um...that's more than a simple denial. If they got permission from the commish's office, it will, then Tampa has no case. What if Tampa alleges that there was contact before that official contact? Right back where we started: they say/we say.
  22. Hairyducked Idiot
    And that should end the tampering discussion. Tampering won't get anywhere, but the people accused denying it won't end the discussion.
  23. Hairyducked Idiot
    Teams can talk to free agents now. They can't sign them for five days after the WS ends, so ... Tuesday?
  24. Hairyducked Idiot
    Managers still don't matter that much, but every time Epstein does something like this (annoy the rest of baseball while paying top dollar to make sure the Cubs get the best of something), I get a little glimmer that maybe the version of him that was active in Boston could show up permanently.

    Bulls just won the Eastern Conference by the rarely invoked Early Season Daisy Chain rule.
