  1. Don't forget Correa relative to Buxton. *ducks*
  2. I'm not saying they should abandon it, but eventually the market will catch on to the inefficiency that is giving them guys like Hammel and Feldman and Maholm. You can't count on it forever.
  3. High-profile pitchers age 29+ have historically not been great value.
  4. It'll be nice that Belgium already beat Mexico and thus won't be pressing to win today as much.
  5. Alcantara's looking more and more like he could be another one. Meh. I just can't pencil him for more than averageness in his first full year.
  6. My enthusiasm for 2015 is rising. I said earlier in the year we were four players short assuming a Samardzija trade. Arrieta and Bryant could be half that.
  7. Recipe for 2015: 1) Arrieta never gets hurt like every other good Cubs pitcher in history 2) Keep Samardzija 3) Bryant is good at baseball 4) Add one decent outfielder in the offseason. The resulting team is easily over .500 and in the hunt at worst all year.
  8. http://37.media.tumblr.com/503f4ed81eda62a76d521b24708f7bc2/tumblr_mh5z57lJta1qmxhwpo1_500.gif
  9. If I were a contending team I would pay so much more for Arrieta than Samardzija.
  10. He's gonna blow out his arm in the next year regardless. Let's go for tonight.
  11. So he wasn't tipping his pitches then? OK, yeah, that doesn't make sense now that you mention it.
  12. what are you talking about, good pitchers can tell guys what's coming and they'll still be good If they significantly outclass the level, sure. But nobody outclasses MLB to that degree.
  13. Seriously it was 2013 and you can still find pitchers for basically free who put up 2.04 FIP just because you noticed they were tipping their pitches and nobody else did.
  14. Nope. Learning curve to MLB is steep as heck and they are too far back.
  15. They're still living off the sustained success that Hoyer brought them.
  16. Nigeria look perfectly capable of winning this game.
  17. Letting one of them go? No way. Trade, maybe in the most extreme of circumstances. That's what I meant, but yeah.
  18. Do you even consider the possibility of letting one of them go if the cap hit is too high? In the abstract I want to at least consider it, but I just can't accept the idea of losing either.
  19. Did he pull his hamstring jogging to first?
  20. a) That was awesome. b) Whatever intern labeled it a "world class golazo" can take a long walk off a short pier.
  21. Convert him to catcher.
