  1. On his own team sir...that's turrrible.
  2. Who would you rather have - Cespedes 5 years $125M, EE 4 years $100M or Fowler 4 Years $80M???
  3. How about 1 year $17.3M for Jose. Love it. 3 years? pass. Cespedes in RF - 4 years $100M Jose at DH - 1 year $17.3M Coglan or Jay with Upton in LF - cheap platoon. That's likely an improvement over the EE/Jose/Saunders trio we used last year.
  4. Davis was also coming off posting 7.0 and 5.6 WAR in 2 of his past 3 seasons - both of which are significantly higher than any season EE's ever had.
  5. It would be nice if the player's initial request was somewhere in the right stratosphere....5 years @ $25M isn't completely outrageous for EE, but the only reason he gets that is supply/demand and the high number of stupid front offices in baseball. Jose's suggestion of 5 years $150M was laughable. I'd prefer if the players/agents just shut up and negotiated behind the scenes like they should.
  6. Fair point that it's just an ask and negotiation has to start somewhere, but I'm not butthurt at all - I was just making a joke. I'm of the opinion this team is better off not giving EE or Jose long term deals (say 4+ years for EE or anything beyond 2 years for Jose). Both are highly unlikely (although I could see Jose taking the QO), so for me it's time for a handshake, a sincere thank you for their service and you take your draft picks and $ and move on.
  7. Gulp. Have fun taking your chlamydia and parrot to Beantown!
  8. Lets hope they teach him to mix in a strike every once in awhile.
  9. Look at you pulling s*** from your ass. If anything - I'd be more worried about Sanchez's mechanics, but anyway - you could say this about every single rotation in baseball. We have 5 legit, good starters....we need to replenish our 6th, 7th and 8th starters (Biagini could be one if we convert him) - but let's not act like the rotation is a concern.
  10. He was abysmal with the A's last year...there's no doubt, but with the Cubs over the past 3 years his average wRC+ has been 126, 114 and 113 with positive base running and defensive value - all of which added up to 6.7 WAR in 1,063 PA's. He's strict platoon guy, but I suspect he'd bring value to the team at 1/3 of the cost of Reddick (who's a similar profile).
  11. True. But he isn't a good hitter either. He runs fast.
  12. That's a brutal angle
  13. If you like being extremely disappointed...
  14. I like this idea
  15. This is why Conforto is a better target.
  16. 1. Charlie Morton 2. Cecil 3. Fowler (4 yr $72M) 4. Pearce 5. Take draft picks from EE + Jose 6. Trade for Conforto and Duda Travis 2nd Fowler RF JD 3rd Duda 1st Tulo SS Conforto LF Pearce DH Martin C Pillar CF BAM. We have balance, defense, versatility, more speed. Of course this depends what Conforto costs.
  17. You're a tool. It's amazing you've formed this opinion of the guy based on false information. Baez wasn't thrown out at second.
  18. Sure looks like a massive jerk there...We should all know by now that players from different cultures can, at times, play the game in a slightly different manner. Unless you start accepting that - you're going to hate a lot of players.
  19. I think we need an Anthony Rizzo Appreciation Thread...
  20. Really? That's awesome. I already named my first born Maddux, so I can't change that...maybe I'll buy a dog and name it Tony Rizz. I love the guy.
  21. Nah - I think they are. Rizzo has to be one of the most lovable players in baseball. His interaction with David Ross during Game 7 about being an emotional wreck was pure gold. David Ross redemption HR in his final game at age 39, Lester's a cancer survivor, Arrieta's a story of persevering, Schwarber's incredible return from injury, Bryant's a stud, Baez took the baseball world by storm these playoffs, Zobrist is finally recognized for being a phenomenal player (after years of being underrated), Theo cementing his place in MLB history, etc. Except Chapman. He's a scumbag (but really good at beisbol). But you can overlook that. The Cubs have it all. You add in the curse and the 108 years and this simply is one of the most special baseball seasons in ML history. I'll probably look to buy some memorabilia from this season. Maybe a book or something. Something that I can share with my sons when they get older. This is a season that should not soon be forgotten.
  22. I like the Port Charlotte Stone Crabs.
  23. He has more defensive value than guys like Adam Jones, Clutch and Span. Given that was his first ever year our in CF. That's not bad! I wonder if you put him in RF if he'd be a significant plus defensively and jump in WAR like Eaton did when he moved to RF...
  24. A lot of his value comes from his base running and defense and he's 31 now. His average wRC+ over the past 3 years is 99 and his batting style (aggressive, low walks, high strikeouts) suggest his already average bat may not age well (that's my guess - no #'s to back up that theory). In theory - he checks a lot of boxes and I think having someone in the Zobrist versatility role, who adds team speed would be a massive bonus for this team; however, I have strong reservations about giving him anything more than a 2 or 3 year deal. I know what you're saying, but there's a reason he only got a 1 year $8M contract last year, which included a position change.
