    He's a hitter. They only need like a week to get their timing down. The rest is just to sell tickets and give the pitchers someone to warm up on.
  2. Hairyducked Idiot
    So in this spring: Olt showed enough to be the starting 3b with some reason to hope on him The only significant regular-season playing time lost to injury is a few starts of Arrieta. That's a darn good spring.
  3. Hairyducked Idiot
    Dave Cameron is the worst.
  4. Hairyducked Idiot
    Your new depths fuel me to new heights? Yeah, that works.
  5. Hairyducked Idiot
    Your hate fuels me to greater heights.

    Olt optimism I can see. But Kalish? He's hoping for a "isn't it cool how this guy made the roster and wasn't a terrible bench player after all he's been through" type of comeback, not "oh man, now he's finally ready to be the star he was always destined to be." He made a brief appearance or two on the very back of some top-100s, but that was it.

    R/G is 8.3 and trending downward. You better get used to i.
  8. Hairyducked Idiot
    OK, then. Carry on.
  9. Hairyducked Idiot
    Why would that make you nervous, exactly? I meant because he *only* pitched that, then Rusin came in. I was thinking that for the last start of the spring, he might throw more, so leaving after three innings makes me wonder if he's hurt.
  10. Hairyducked Idiot
    Not bothering to create a thread for today's game, but should I be nervous that Samardzija pitched three innings and faced 12 batters?
  11. Hairyducked Idiot
    Under GM Ryne Sandberg

    Well go over the the Donnie Murphy thread because Kyle just said he might be less productive than a full season of Barney at 2B I have a lot of doubts about Castillo. We're talking about a guy who was never that highly rated as a prospect who suddenly bursts out with a 3.2 fWAR season fueled by a .347 BABIP and a +15 run UZR.
  13. Hairyducked Idiot
    Now I hope he also becomes the manager after he retires.
  14. Hairyducked Idiot
    It's perfectly possible for the Cubs to construct the team in the upcoming years in such a way that they are both wildly successful and that Barney remains their best option for starting in the middle infield.
  15. Hairyducked Idiot
    Sounds like that would be a nightmare for Kyle. Nah. I don't think he's that good either. I just think it'd be funny to spite the ridiculous people who think he's worse than Donnie Murphy because they arbitrarily decided that peripherals don't count anymore.
  16. Hairyducked Idiot
    Yeah, that's far from true and 2B might even have a chance at being the worst position this year (phrasing it this way because of OF platoons) if Barney were to start all year. Thankfully, he almost assuredly won't. I'll bet on at least two outfield spots and catcher being worse than 2b.
  17. Hairyducked Idiot
    Five years, team captain, bats leadoff, and gets a few clutch hits so that every casual person who finds out you are a Cubs fan gives you three minutes on why he's a better player than Javier Baez.
  18. Hairyducked Idiot
    Now I hope he bats leadoff. You wanna press for more?
  19. Hairyducked Idiot
    according to BP, for the last two seasons: Kottaras is -44 extra strikes (4700 framing chances), and Baker is +4 extra strikes (3900 chances), which amounts to about a 5-6 run total difference The math checks out. Carry on, Theo.
  20. Hairyducked Idiot
    Because he's not *that* bad of a player, but people act like he is. They've got Barney Derangement Syndrome. The day Darwin Barney is the worst overall player in our starting lineup, we'll be a good baseball team.
  21. Hairyducked Idiot
    I hope Barney starts here for three more years just to troll everyone who moans about him constantly. I hope we trade Castro for some awesome pitching and Barney never leaves our infield.
  22. Hairyducked Idiot
    Our new backup catcher has not had an OPS above .590 or hit a home run since 2009. He'd better be magical at framing pitches or something.
  23. Hairyducked Idiot
    Do we no longer have a vomit smiley? I'm looking for it and not seeing it.
  24. Hairyducked Idiot
    The catcher thing is weird. They must just think there's a huge defensive difference between Kottraras and Baker.
  25. Hairyducked Idiot
    It'd be pretty funny if we did trade Kottaras. Epstein, fearing that perhaps he did too much this offseason, decides to scale it back a notch.
