Apparently PTBNL is from two lists. One full of decent prospects if the Rangers either extend Garza or win the WS, the other is scrubs/filler.
-
Joe Ortiz?

If the 3rd player is a pretty good prospect arm, the Cubs won this deal. They bought low on Olt and Edwards has the potential to be a very good pitcher. I believe the investment term for trying to buy low and finding out that it's nowhere near the ultimate low is "catching a falling knife," though someone with actual finances may have to corroborate.
-
That's impossible, because Edwards > Olt
-
Yay, all better.

Did anyone say that had something to do with it? I thought it was reported he just loved Sosa as a kid. -
SOLD. Matt Garza: Opening Day 2015 Daytona Cubs starter, rehab assignment

You say that like it's a mark against him. If it's not what he wants, I don't want him to just settle because it's "close". I said it both ways. Personally, I find it to be a mark against him, but YMMV.

One thing I remember Boston fans saying is that Epstein really seems to revel in taking deals to the brink and then pulling the plug. Or, more charitably, he absolutely refuses to cave to the pressure of a nearly done deal.

Trade imminent, this player for that player, drawn out for weeks, never happens, etc. And all of that. This time it has pushed on 18 months.

The fundamental problem with defensive stats is that you can't really measure value and ability at the same time without sacrificing a ton of accuracy.

IIRC (and that's always questionable), it was much more popular (rightly so) on NSBB than elsewhere.
-
I'll believe it when I see it.
-
Yes, but it hasn't seemed to help his K-rate much.
-
That only matters if he can hit, and he can't.
-
Oh, please, let's rehash all the "Brett Jackson isn't broken" arguments with Olt. It'll be fun being right again.
-
These comments would be funnier if they were getting less than 1 out of every 30 guys they went after. The dig isn't at them.
-
They've locked in their participation ribbon. Whether or not they get the player, or if he's good or not, is gravy.

MLB already has revenue sharing in place in addition to the competitive balance picks. Which is why I used the qualifier "total." The system still benefits the Cubs far more than a totally balanced system would, even if our various owners have been bad at taking advantage of it.
-
Would you rather we have total revenue sharing and cut the other teams in the division a check for $15m each?
-
They came from Kaplan :( Besides, if that were true, the deal would be done already. The Cubs would have autocalled.
-
That the Cubs don't have a need for above average 27 year olds? Not really in the outfield, they don't.
-
He's been on the DL in three consecutive seasons. That's got to be getting close to injury-pronishness.

I love that all these ignorant idiots get their shameful tweets put on permanent display on Deadspin for all to point at and mock If you're going to demand that someone speak English, spell "pastime" correctly.
