    Welcome to the dark side
  2. Jays24
    If I was an ump, I would utilize the Altuve method of having my chest strapped up for balls and strike to be near 100% lol.
  3. Jays24
    I think the part of moving Moreno to 3B like they've been trying recently is exactly for that reason. Keep Kirk at C and use Moreno at 3B, which let's us keep both. Then one of Reese or Jansen can occupy the backup duties while the other gets traded for whatever we can get.
  4. Jays24
    Lol...I thought Bryant would have easily been a better defender than Biggio at 3B but I haven't watched any Cubs games so can't say anything there. It's definitely a position of upgrade we need, more so defensively.
  5. Jays24
    While that's a nice trend, the games before May 5 count just as much as the ones after. I think most are looking for a huge defensive upgrade at 3B just as much as we'd like an offensive upgrade. Bryant's not the answer imo since we are not likely to re-sign him with Semien already being a FA too.
  6. Jays24
    Agree with that. If we thought Kimbrel was worth 16M then we should have just tried to sign Hendricks in the offseason. Cubs would for sure have to pay some of that salary or attach another player with him if they expect to get anything decent in return.
  7. Jays24
    This I did not know... That changes my perception quite a bit. Then it doesn't make sense for the Cubs to trade Bryant for anything less than the value of a compensatory pick. That would only happen for teams likely to re-sign Bryant. With Semien already on board, I don't see it happening.
  8. Jays24
    Ya, I'm in the same boat where I love Biggio as the 9th/10th man in the lineup but I would easily package him to upgrade major areas of need like Closer/3B/top end starter. Now only problem is whether you love Kimbrel/Bryant/Hendricks enough given their contractual statuses. Biggio/Jansen and a lesser prospect seems like a no brainer considering we'd get a compensation pick if Bryant leaves us. It was only because of that pick that I had us giving up a top prospect as well.
  9. Jays24
    I thought Hendricks was a bit younger but he's still under contract for 2 more years at 14M per. He'd become our 3rd best starter assuming Manoah and Stripling fall back a bit. Kimbrel is under contract for another year at 16M while Bryant is a free agent. We would get a compensatory pick if Bryant leaves us at years end, which adds value to his status. We can keep Gurriel/Biggio and include a lesser prospect if that makes more sense. We could solve all our remaining needs with 1 trade but it would suck having Semien and Bryant on the team who might both leave after the season. That's the part I could understand us not being fans of.

    Cubs' Hoyer ready to sell after losing streak: 'Life comes at you fast' https://www.thescore.com/mlb/news/2186574 Let's go get Byrant/Hendricks/Kimbrel in a Marlins type Blockbuster. Bryant and Kimbrel shouldn't cost too much given their contractual status but Hendricks would be the one that would cost a lot. Groshans, Jansen and one of Gurriel/Biggio should be enough for a basis of the deal.

    I said these words before the season even started. I saw enough of him last year at 3B to feel he wouldn't be good there. Now that we got enough sample size there, think it's all but a forgone conclusion that 2B is his only full time spot. Still a great super utility guy to have on the team.
  12. Jays24
    Optioned to Mars would have been better.
  13. Jays24
    Why don't shatkins take any blame for giving Montoyo this crap to use? They've been in the organization for like 6 years and have complied this level of pitching thus far. Great job on the hitting/position side though.
  14. Jays24
    This is clearly a development year to see where our youngsters stand going forward. If we were trying to win this year, Semien would have started the season at SS.
  15. Jays24
    Just like our starting rotation, missing some top end talent. Still better than it was a week ago.
  16. Jays24
    Tellez reunited with Shaw and Vogelbach to form a great offensive line for the Packers... i mean Brewers lol.
  17. Jays24
    Please tell me the return is good. I was still a believer in Tellez and would have given up only after next season since we still had an option left.
  18. Jays24
    There was a time and place for his style. It just wouldn't work today where people need to be entertained for every second.
  19. Jays24
    Baseball as a sport has too much break in actual action. What the hell else are they going to talk about? Lol
  20. Jays24
    Thing is that for all the reason why we'd want to keep Gurriel are more reasons why other teams will want him for the eventual top end starter we need. Now the chemistry part is very underrated since it seems like Gurriel has a great connection with Teo/Vlad/Springer. Seems like our front office knows exactly what they are doing so it does feel nice that we can sit back and trust what they eventually do.
  21. Jays24
    Ya thats true, we were planning on platooning Tellez/Grichuk this season. Replace Tellez with Dickerson and maybe we even see some Gurriel at 1B when Vlad needs a day off.
  22. Jays24
    Grichuk/Gurriel are too good to be sitting that many games since majority are RHP. I don't think we would keep 5 OFers on the roster with Biggio being able to play out there too.
  23. Jays24
    Agree with this but Dickerson becomes the 5th OFer. If he's healthy, I can see this setting up a Gurriel + others trade for that top end starter we're all looking for.
  24. Jays24
    Ya this seems like a lesser version of the Lirano trade where's its a win win for us just because we were willing to flex some financial muscle. Great move. Now just repeat this a few times and this will be 2015 all over again but with a young core and a great farm system still.
  25. Jays24
    Loll... makes sense to read into it when Shatkins said get ready for some moves. It does make sense to add Dickerson's left handed bat as our 4th outfielder and then trade from a position of strength (Gurriel/Grichuk) for a good pitcher. It's happening... book it!
