  1. If I remember right, Haren's family wasn't happy last year with him pitching outside of the west coast or something. He wasn't coming here.
  2. I think my preference is: Jimenez > Samardzjia (for lesser prospects) > Nolasco > Porcello >> Samardzjia (for Sanchez/Stroman).
  3. This is a read from a Chicago paper (so take it for what it's worth) http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2013/11/05/wisch-the-cubs-can-trade-castro-but-not-to-the-cardinals/ This was of relevant interest:
  4. Janssen is in the final year of his contract. It makes no sense for a non-contending team to want him as a major chip. Gose doesn't come close to getting Castro unless there's something seriously wrong with him that I don't know about.
  5. Cubs are rebuilding, so I don't see them having any interest in Janssen. They definitely appear to need some SP though. I think to land Castro would take Sanchez or Stroman in the deal, but we may be able to put together something intriguing enough in volume to get Samardzija without.
  6. 2010 and 2013 were both September callups.
  7. Also want to say grats! That's awesome!
  8. Cubs hang up the phone with extreme prejudice.
  9. I'm actually quite excited by the idea of Drabek (although I'd rather get a high end starter + Porcello). The issue with Drabek (aside from the TJ's) has always been the walks since he came here, but last year the reports were that he finally realized he's got to trust his stuff and stop walking people, and he put up a 1.3 bb/9 and 5.83 k/bb. Not surprising the other numbers followed.
  10. Unless they need to make McGowan the 5th starter to avoid losing him (which probably isn't the case), I actually think Drabek may be 1st in line for a rotation spot, with Hutch a close second.
  11. Probably almost anything we could give them that doesn't involve our big two or Lawrie/Edwin/JB would be a win.
  12. He'll probably be back next year for the final month, then some extra action in the fall.
  13. Think it's closer to a year now.
  14. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2013-disabled-list-team-data/ Man, look at that loooooong line for our pitchers ... and that was with Dickey pitching 1/2 the year when he probably shouldn't have been.
  15. That might be easier said than done if they are up against the cap.
  16. With this deal and Nova arbitration, this probably puts them around 120M with only two starting pitchers, no Cano, and lots of arbitration guys. 70M may sound like a lot, but it's gonna get eaten fast.
  17. Castro would be fantastic (although incredibly unlikely).
  18. If we are in on him, I could definitely see the deal expanding.
  19. Let's all thank the Rockies for making the Yankees pay more!
  20. could be 5/80 plus some options
  21. In many ways, they'd probably be better off going after Russell Martin next off-season.
  22. A catcher like McCann hitting in that stadium is just unfair lol. I wonder how it will affect the Yankees getting under the cap?
  23. We don't need any spots filled in Buffalo (for once). More generally though, I do think that teams should take a shot on some guy late in the draft who has excellent pitchability but without major league stuff, and develop them strictly as a knuckleballer.
  24. Nah, they link to blogs and stuff all the time. This is one of their latest: http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2013/11/baseball-blogs-weigh-in-fielder-tigers-kinsler-miller.html
  25. Yeah, got confused on how that was set up. You quoted me before I could delete the post lol
