  1. Uh, no. We kind of split the difference between Javy and Bryant.
  2. we already have him, and his name is kris bryant. Some of the experts will have Russell ahead of Bryant.
  3. I'm OK with it. You don't get super-elite prospects without some real pain in what you give back. And lol still no top-flight pitchers.
  4. Nobody could seriously try to wrap their heads around this this early. It's too big. 1) It's definitely cool as hell 2) I trust our front office not to get completely ripped off 3) We knew these two would probably be traded, it's just crazy to think some team was audacious enough to grab both of them with four weeks to go to the deadline.
  5. Seriously, though, a lot of people had speculated lately that prospects were becoming overvalued and someone should take advantage of that. Of course it's Beane. Not on this board Huh. I can't keep track of what gets discussed where, but I've seen it discussed on several Cubs boards lately. I'm surprised it didn't come up here.

  7. I honestly can't wrap my head around it. Just have to wait and see.
  8. Dude, that would be *fun*. I trust our guys to get good value no matter who is involved.
  9. David Kaplan ‏@thekapman 1m I'm on vacation with my family but I made calls + am being told Cubs/A's talks are real. 1 source: "Deal could + I repeat could be stunning"
  10. He built up some credibility and blew it. I don't worry about it that much.

  12. True. But the ratio of doofy kids with nothing to doofy kids who are actually pretty good at hustling for sources is about a million to one.
  13. Writer for "Call to the Pen" with 17 K followers. 15-year-old kid in a bowtie who claims to be a member of something called the "International Baseball Writers Association" :( It looked legit for a minute and fooled me
  14. He's now roster fill too. Our *roster* is gonna be *filled* with these guys pretty soon.
  15. "serious talks" twitter-fests fizzle out a lot, sure. But just about every big trade during the season seems to build up with one. Garza definitely did.
  16. There's been a lot of chatter lately that prospects are becoming overvalued on the trade market (Friedman came out and said it the other day) and hence speculation that a smart GM would start to work trades the other way. Beane strikes me as *exactly* the guy to do it.
  17. Slusser is a writer for the SF Chronicle, btw Here's her article: http://blog.sfgate.com/athletics/2014/07/04/report-as-in-talks-for-cubs-hammel-or-samardzjia/
  18. Russell is awesome, but for both those guys I want like five more cool things
