    Schwarber leads AA in almost every offensive category. Um. No. He doesn't even lead his own team in most offensive categories at the moment. He does, however, lead both Arismendy Alcantara and Antonio Alfonseca in almost every offensive category.

    No one thinks you're a troll. 2003 is a real bad memory for most of us. ;) Because Baker killed prior by sending a rookie with 200 innings on his arm for the first time ever back out in the 8th inning of an 8-1 game with 131 pitches... 131 freaking pitches...how stupid can you be! breathe, breathe, br. **passes out** Guy has a point, Maddon is better.

    Several references on yesterday's game thread to great ABs by Herrera. What did he do to "get in shields' head?

    Krismas and Krismas Eve [expletive] that. We're making it an 8 night event celebrating the 8 games in which we had to burn through [expletive] 3B. Krismukuh. Upvote

    What is this "pitching prospect" you speak of?

    For two more days, one more game.

    Add any 5 consecutive random games of Baez last year to those numbers. I would imagine it would drop them to middle of the pack. The direction is clear, and I don't think javy can adapt.

    There may be a way to turn this to the Cubs' advantage. I would love to see our catchers start throwing to first after pitches to surprise runners who try to exploit lester's blass-sax-knoblauch disease.

    Yeah, when thinking of rosters, think of it as a limit, not a requirement.

    Hits are fun!

    Arrieta is amazing. Go-go gadget offense.

    The day Bryant is called up.

    Beautiful! Now offense: activate!

    Any chance umpires are watching all this talk of framing, looking at the lists and adjusting?

    I just ordered the ultimate nachos at Buffalo Wild Wings. I'm a cord cutter in the STL market, so mlbtv is blacked out for me. Go to BWW and eat nachos. Twist: I have not eaten nachos in years, and don't particularly care for them. I was the nacho hold out. First game loss was on me. I have learned my lesson.

    You should be flogged for even thinking this.

    Okay, you got me ... why aren't rookie-eligible players, and in Sands case, a guy who is many years away from the bigs, considered prospects? Ah, I see you edited that to say pitchers. Still, even if you want to discount value because TINSTAAP, they still have value of some fashion. No such thing.
  23. Bull
    Not sure who Rivero and Sands are, unless this refers to the pitchers by those names. But, then, I thought we were voting for prospects, not pitchers.

    Not much room for Schwarber in that lineup if it turns out he can't catch. But, I suppose that's a good problem rather than a bad problem. Baez to Japan, Bryant to 3B, Castro to 2B.

    The union shouldn't. Rosenthal should. He should know better. He's essentially arguing that the Cubs be held to one standard and every other club another. The rule is stupid - Ken is correct. It needs to be taken out in the next CBA. But the place to fight the battle is when that's negotiated, not by filing a nuisance grievance over Bryant. How would you propose that the rule be changed? Serious question. Make accruing a service year require much less than 172 days. Someone from Fangraphs suggested 100 as a round number that could do the trick, that'd eliminate the incentive to keep someone down for a short amount of time to gain a much longer amount of time of control. Sure there'd be instances where teams would wait out that 100 days depending on the situation(e.g. Polanco last year), but for the very obvious cases where team control is the primary factor, lowering the length of the service year would help a bunch. 120. That's 4 months and 2/3 of the season.
