jaysblue Old-Timey Member Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Whiffs at what? Giving them Sanchez and anyone else still relevant in our farm for Garza? I don't think you'd have to give them Sanchez. Likely Gose + someone like Nolin and some other pieces.
8D Verified Member Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 We sent a bunch of org guys to the Astros, there's a difference between quantity and quality. Nobody in that trade will ever be of much consequence. Time will tell mah fren.
Laika Community Moderator Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Wow Olt and Grimn too now? Amazing deal for Cubs. Absolute robbery.... and I don't like Mike Olt very much at all.

Don't get me wrong: I'm glad it didn't happen. But still, LOL at AA for even trying to make another panic trade right now. He should be fired immediately.

connorp Old-Timey Member Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Where is ksaw? He was so positive MG was worth a C prospect at best
FireAlexAnthopoulos Verified Member Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 He should be doing his due dilligence about SELLING our so-called "talent" for a rebuild. Attempting to shuffle the deck chairs on the Titanic by adding on to our flawed joke of a core only serves to waste the team's money and the fans' time.
John_Havok Old-Timey Member Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Retool, not rebuild. Hard to rebuild when you have nothing to sell except pen arms.
FireAlexAnthopoulos Verified Member Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Retool, not rebuild. Hard to rebuild when you have nothing to sell except pen arms. Bautista, Encarnacion, hell, even Reyes could get us SOMETHING worthwhile in return, along with selling off the bullpen. "Retooling" is useless when your core is fundamentally flawed.
John_Havok Old-Timey Member Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Trades made out of frustration and emotional responses to failure are destined to fail themselves, IMO.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 LMAO... AA whiffs again! Hey Alex, take the hint and blow this pathetic excuse for a team up already - then resign before you can screw it up even worse. Ban plz
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 The Cubs are going to be a force pretty soon. Theo and Hoyer have nailed it so far. Rizzo/Olt/Bryant/Castro/Baez/Almora has the potential to be a very nice lineup in 2-3 years. They can probably spin off E-Jax and Soriano for some decent prospects too, and they'll have tons of payroll to reload in FA while tanking for a very high pick next year.
John_Havok Old-Timey Member Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Ban plz Hoe you reported him. He clearly created this account as a vent with no intention add any meaningful discussion.

According to one of the prospect lists (KLaw I think) a lot of Cubs' prospects don't exactly take many walks to say the least.
Laika Community Moderator Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Where is ksaw? He was so positive MG was worth a C prospect at best If only I had a nickle for every time that kirksaw tried to sound smart/informed and failed...
Laika Community Moderator Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 The Cubs are going to be a force pretty soon. Theo and Hoyer have nailed it so far. Meh. Trading good/decent big leaguers and building org depth is the easy part. The payroll flexibility that they'll have on the upswing will definitely help though.
Angrioter Old-Timey Member Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Meh. Trading good/decent big leaguers and building org depth is the easy part. Syndergaard + TDA for Dickey? Wocj + Comer + Perez for Happ?
