    The price of getting Theo was giving him a few years of not trying to help him wind down from the pressures of Boston.

    5 years, $112.5 million. http://www.mercurynews.com/giants/ci_20308574/matt-cain-giants-agree-five-year-100-million

    He's got 52 K in 48 IP this year.

    I can see why. Dude is a stud at a hard-to-find position. When they write Cubs Moneyball, he'll get three chapters.

    Presumably largely on the strength of baseball operations, the Cubs are going to be top-half in the Fangraphs organizational rankings. I know it doesn't mean anything, but I enjoyed these articles last year and am looking forward to this year's. They are up to No. 16 and still no Cubs.

    Maybe it's just posturing like the Marlins, but I hate seeing the Dodgers already talking about how much they want to spend. And under competent ownership, they should. Without one of those fancy billion-dollar local cable deals, the Cubs are about to become the equivalent of a mid-market team.

    Ian Stewart with his second home run of the spring. Screw it, I'm sold.
  9. Hairyducked Idiot
    Is it time for the 2013 draft yet? Because that's when this all pays off, I guess.
  10. Hairyducked Idiot
    Anyway, long story short, everyone had better be way better than they were last year.
  11. Hairyducked Idiot
    It makes them pretty close to indistinguishable. Outs are still bad. Disagree. Yes. 2011 Fangraphs Batting Runs Above Average (this is not adjusted for position): Byrd -2.4 Soto -2.3 So all in all, if Soto's season wasn't the second best, then the worst you can say is that it was no worse than a statistical tie with everyone but Castro.

    The scary thing is that you are right about how bad his 2011 was (though the .280 BABIP didn't help), but it was still probably the second-best 2011 of anyone in the current lineup. I don't think that's true at all. Stewart, Barney and DeJesus clearly had much worse offensive seasons. LaHair was busy beating up on 23-year-olds and other roster fill in the Coors Field AAA League. Soriano had a better OPS, but it was extremely SLG heavy. That just leaves Byrd, who hit .276/.324/.395.

    I do. It's just so obvious that he gets his own separate category and it's not worth mentioning him. Like in the old HACKING MASS where they had to make a special division for teams that didn't pick Rey Ordonez, because picking him was so obvious.
  15. Hairyducked Idiot
    The best hitter in the lineup is hitting 8th. The worst* is batting second. * - like Rey Ordonez and HACKING MASS, Ian Stewart gets his own category.
  16. Hairyducked Idiot
    He's a number 1.83
  17. Hairyducked Idiot
    Boston unwilling to consider the matter "closed." http://www.bostonherald.com/blogs/sports/red_sox/index.php/2012/03/29/red-sox-not-ready-to-declare-theo-epstein-compensation-talks-over-weighing-options/
  18. Hairyducked Idiot
    The offense is that bad and then some.
  19. Hairyducked Idiot
    Baker???????????????? Starting 1B D'oh. I guess Campana isn't assured of a slot just yet.
  20. Hairyducked Idiot
    They're both backup catchers, as far as I can tell.
  21. Hairyducked Idiot
    And the final answer is, in order: Dempster, Garza, Samardzija, Volstad, Maholm.
  22. Hairyducked Idiot
    Dewitt and Mather officially make the team. The bench appears to be Clevenger, Johnson, Campana, Dewitt, Mather.
  23. Hairyducked Idiot
    You're surprised they want castillo to get every day ABs? A little. Although I think that's because I keep getting them mixed up. Castillo is the one with a little power potential.
  24. Hairyducked Idiot
    Wood also officially sent down. As was Sappelt, Tolbert, Lalli, Parker and Maine. As Brett over at BN put it: Maybe winning the PCL is the new market inefficiency?
  25. Hairyducked Idiot
    Both a little surprising to me, although Wells moreso.
