    Yeah, he's going to play the role of Bonifacio for now. Is it just me or is it very clear EXACTLY who (and in the same role) each of our super prospects will be replacing? Almost as though each of the stop gaps was brought in to hold a very specific spot... I think it's very much up in the air. Are you saying Starlin is a placeholder for Russell? I really think that they have a lot of options with the types of players they have in the minors. Everything is up in the air because some of the super prospects may not make it and/or will be traded for pitching at some point. Not so much Russell and Castro, but definitely bonifacio, olt, Sweeney, Barney for alcantara, Bryant, Soler and Baez. Obvious it is possible (probable?) they don't all pan out, and you have to "plan b" it here and there, but it seems like there's a connection.

    Alex Gonzalez, learn how to field a routine GB Yep. And it's not even close. Not sure why I just watched the 8th inning of that game again. I want to die.

    Except that free agents like Lester aren't knocking down the door to sign with a perennial cellar-dweller. If you can do it without including any of our top 50 guys, do it.

    Can we delay it until 2015?

    I don't know that I've ever seen an opposite field homer a) get out that fast and b) get out at such a low angle. That man's power is unfair. Seriously who the [expletive] hits home runs like this? http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/0/v33771229/chcmia-stanton-lines-a-tworun-home-run-to-right Looked like mcgwire's 62nd. Edit: except opposite field, wow!

    I remember these 2 like it was yesterday. Bo Jackson invented PEDs

    These guys were using the good stuff, that will probably end up prolonging their lives and allow them to live out their childhood fantasy and live a financially independent life. Except Sammy. He paid cash in the Dominican for the stuff that turns you into a Michael Jackson post-"thriller" apocalypse zombie.

    Holy [expletive] are they ever delusional. In my head, this was read by Commandant Lassard

    http://i.imgur.com/7lIeZdX.png?1 Maybe not bad but his ERA- is 123 and his xFIP- is 109. Certainly below league average. BTW I am formerly "MrWood". Had you chosen to acknowledge the context, my point was more that pitching is dominant this year, and numbers that I used to view as impressive, are now the norm. Maybe its just me, but I had adjusted my expectations on hitters, but was still subconsciously impressed with an ERA in the mid 4's and an xFIP of around 4. Maybe everyone else already knew this, but it just struck me yesterday. Pitchers are dominating. Change "Travis Wood is bad" to "Travis Wood is slightly below average, and much less impressive than I had thought" if it makes you feel better. I would have responded quicker, but the effort to change my username made my account "inactive" for awhile. Great performance by Wood. I hope he keeps it up. That doesn't change the fact that he's slightly to significantly below average on the year. You know, we could have just renamed your Mr. Wood account rather than you create a new account. I sent Tim a pm asking for exactly that.

    Actually my last name starts with Wood. But yeah, loved Kerry. Probably time for a name change though, I suppose.
  14. Bull
    I just realized how very low league average ERA is this year. Pitchers are dominating. Travis Wood is bad.

    enjoy it for what it is, man.

    I feel like this was said in a scottish accent.

    Still one game better than the worst record in baseball. and we're about to get swept by the cardinals. this is gonna be rough. No, I go to at least one game here every year and I haven't seen a Cubs loss in several years. I'm going Wednesday so we should take that one to avoid the sweep. This is your year, man.

    I'm pretty sure it was on every elevator in America within a week.

    Probably the guy with the "most blocked" view.

    I'm probably on the low end of income for people on this board, granted, but $2500 is an absolutely stupid amount to spend on a ring. (I spent just under $900, before anyone asks) How long ago? My wife's $1200 ring 15 years ago would cost me $2500 today.
  22. Bull
    me too. I'll go 86.

    Any chance of getting the thread title edited for spelling?

    I'm looking for real reasons YOU think one approach or the other is/was better, not cynical reflections on possible flawed reasons the respective front offices employed each. Particularly your original thoughts on the final question.
