    Seemed likely when there was that report earlier today that he was off the market. Perfect fit for our cobbled-together outfield. If there's no trade, Soriano takes left, DeJesus takes CF with Sappelt as his vs. L caddy, and Hairston does the same for Schierholtz in right.
  2. Hairyducked Idiot
    The Cubs gave up after almost two years of begging and him telling them no. He just reminded them of that with that quote.
  3. Hairyducked Idiot
    lol, pretty much spiked the football in Ricketts' face.
  4. Hairyducked Idiot
    Delmon Young to the Phillies, pretty much shutting down the already pretty dead Soriano rumor mill.
  5. Hairyducked Idiot
    It is now day 33 since Carlos Villanueva's agreeing to terms was reported, and still not official.
  6. Hairyducked Idiot
    Everyone's a good defender in the low minors.
  7. Hairyducked Idiot
    I'm not saying I'd make the deal, but Upton is one year removed from an an fWAR equal to Castro's best two. It's not that insulting.
  8. Hairyducked Idiot
    This has pretty consistently been both the story and the obvious answer since Upton rumors popped up: Castro is too much, Baez isn't enough/doesn't interest them, and that's that. No fit.
  9. Hairyducked Idiot
    Objectively, he has some value as a backup outfielder. Heck, he has more fWAR the last two years than Schierholtz in less playing time. But I'm really tired of hearing about how fast and white he is.
  10. Hairyducked Idiot
    My ideal scenario is that one of the HS position players takes a huge leap forward, Houston passes on them in favor of the cheap strategy, and we get him.
  11. Hairyducked Idiot
    I do, too, but I hope he has adequate security.
  12. Hairyducked Idiot
    I hate sports fans.
  13. Hairyducked Idiot
    He won one of his championships up there because the Roughriders got caught with 13.
  14. Hairyducked Idiot
    9.18 K/9 is mediocre?
  15. Hairyducked Idiot
    Potato, potato.

    You do realize that Correa was the number one talent on the board for quite a few people, right? My theory is that most of those people were repeating hype from the Astros. It sure seemed like he shot up the boards late after they decided on him.
  17. Hairyducked Idiot
    The Astros would just take some HS kid who is borderline top-5 and convince everyone he's just as good as the rest for half the cost.
  18. Hairyducked Idiot
    I'm guessing it's less than 50/50 that Rondon sticks.
  19. Hairyducked Idiot
    I'm pretty sure Schierholtz was promised playing time. If Jackson wins CF, I'd expect DeJesus or Soriano to be moved.
  20. Hairyducked Idiot
    He supposedly legitimately refuses to play for Boston.
  21. Hairyducked Idiot
    I'm pretty sure that's been known since talk of the DBacks trading him first started. He can change the list each offseason, I think. So we knew we were on last year's list, but that's the first I've heard it confirmed we are on this year's.
  22. Hairyducked Idiot
    Apparently Cubs are fourth team on the no-trade list.
  23. Hairyducked Idiot
    13 pitchers doesn't seem remotely likely. As of right now, our non-C bench consists of Sappelt, Campana, Valbuena and pressing Clevenger into a Tyler Houston corners role. There's definitely room for LaHair there.
  24. Hairyducked Idiot
    As of right this moment, LaHair would be an upgrade over our current bench. But I'm assuming we'll fix that at some point.
  25. Hairyducked Idiot
    No one here. This is an expression of my ongoing annoyance with the general population of Cubs fans, many of whom I have seen make such statements. Not the rarified air of NSBB.
