Well now it's been so long I'm questioning my own knowledge. Didn't they have a salary cap back in the 90's? I'm losing it. Either way, point still stands. it was the 80s and they called it collusion Andre Dawson called it bullcrap.

Agree. Thread title change, mods?

Trade Coghlan, not Soler. Fowler is an upgrade and a much better roster fit than Coghlan, swapping Fowler for Soler doesn't really move the needle. Also, with being a true CF, Schwarber catching/DHing, and Soler's proclivity for injury, odds are Dex would be able to get closer to 500 PA than 300 once the actual imperfect circumstances of the season play out. I agree with all of this. In fact, my opening day lineup would have fowler in cf and Soler as Dh. Sit Soler any time it's less than 50 degrees; with heyward's tendency for slow starts, you don't need both of them dragging you down. Rest Heyward occasionally in April. After that Schwarber and Soler would have force fowler out of the lineup. And they would. In mid May. Resign fowler with the promise that he's your opening day cf. if they are all 3 amazing in August, trade him and his very attractive contract for something better than a draft pick. If not, you've bought a very smart insurance policy.

Very interesting. For all the talk of the Cubs tanking for high draft picks, there's surprisingly little from draft picks there. Although Cubs draftees were involved in some of those trades (cashner and samardszija) and some of the players recieved in trades wouldn't have been acquired by a team actually trying to win (Arrieta)

What the hell is going on with the Orioles projection here?

I don't get it. 4.04 R/G Aha. Shows 4.05 for me. -
This David as a robot thing has gone through the funny/not funny cycle multiple times and gets more funny and more not funny every time around.

Was Jake Arrieta in a racist fight club?

TOO LATE HE ALREADY PROMISED also, optimistic treebird likes to think this is just him trying to reverse course and position the nl dh as something for the owners to concede in the upcoming labor talks instead of something they actually want. Nobody expects the double reverse fake-out! It's like the fake to first, fake to third.

not agile enough. he runs like a left fielder.
-
No way he signs if he has any indication he's a "fourth outfielder"
-
The one stat that demonstrates he is a star: WAR.

Translator, of course.

Beautiful outline form.

Backup shortstop who won't play because Russell doesn't need a backup. Baez traded for Cobb. Any better?

Fair enough. You were the second guy to comment something that made it sound like I was horrible person for making light of concussions. I just happen to find humor in everything. You name it, I can laugh at it. And my cervix is just fine, thank you. Wait, what? odd that you find humor in everything but tell someone making a joke not to lecture you. Yep, probably should have responded to nonprofitcow's smug response instead.

That must have been one serious concussion. also known as a "concussion" I've had concussions on multiple occasions. A pretty serious one in a flip over car accident that also broke my third cervical vertebra. Don't lecture me. The wording was funny. Made it sound like he was unconscious for several weeks. Lighten up.

It was a little old lady with lots of stuffed animals pinned to her hat. Don't judge her too hard. Theo was great about it.

Yuppers. Joe's approval means everything to me. I almost asked Bosio about Arrieta basically saying (On the Dempster show) Bos had no impact on his success last year. Decided not to create division.
