Tell that to Maddon when he takes him out late in the game for defensive reasons. While I don’t agree with your overall argument, this point kind of makes the discussion irrelevant and your argument functionally true. What? How? Joe Maddon making a decision doesn’t make it the right decision. And i...

You said " he’s solidly average or above average defensively". Neither is true. The numbers say otherwise Tell that to Maddon when he takes him out late in the game for defensive reasons. While I don’t agree with your overall argument, this point kind of makes the discussion irrelevant an...

Because I would have traded arismendy alcantara for babe Ruth if only they had listened to me.

The damage Chili Davis wrought upon KB’s swing may be irreversible.

Chili Davis sounds like a name a warlock would choose if he was trying to blend in with society.

LITERALLY ANY.

A time traveler from April 2016 sees Heyward’s stat line and shrugs. Then learns that the Cubs won the world series and declares that LITERALLY ANY sequence of events flowing to that moment and/or from it are worth it. "If we find out that the Ricketts' are all Nazis and Theo goes bald, I don'...

The icing on this poop cake will be when Russell is lauded as having "saved the season" as the Cubs inevitably turn it around some time in the next 20 games.

"Cubs' record before Addison Russell return: 11-17 After: 41-26" or some such graphic around the all-star break.

One thread cannot be expected to contain the negativity this year.

First, I almost forgot this thread is about the Hendrix extension. With that in mind, I would like to say this is not the time to extend Baez. Second, I feel like Javy is likely to injure himself with his 125% play at some point in the next few years, unless is actually freezing and unfreezing time....

I'm assuming this is misinformation, but can anyone illuminate Heyward's 2020 contract status?

That's what happens when you take a rest in the middle of a race while the other runners keep running.

Yeah, but this race had a finish line in the middle.

WIth a profile like Maples', I think the line between "effectively wild" and "control issues" is a fine one. Once he is "feared," I think major leaguers swing at those. But until he's proven that they could be strikes, there's no motivation to offer at them.

For the Cubs fans here who are cheering against the Cubs now, are you happy about this deal or upset by it? Paul Goldschmidt does not strike me as the type of player who loses all baseball talent in his early thirties. There are some players who baffle me. Guys who seemingly fall off a cliff in the...

Nope. Badger is Indigo Montoya.

Think more personal. Its all about Theo's hairline.

I have been here since 2003 and somehow missed all this. The price you pay for avoiding the social forum like the plague. But now it’s ALL social Forum.

Can we get a baseball forum back?

Also, I’m still confused with all the name changes, some of which are several years old. (TBS is IMB! ?)

25.4 per year...or put another way Brandon Kintzler plus Cole Hamels plus .4 million Horsefeathers Theo just as much as Tom Now think about what Russell is making Chatwood + Duensing + Descalso + Russell + Kintzler = $25.9M.

Derwood wrote:I don’t see why any team would help the Cubs get Harper by taking Heyward and Zobrist in a trade.

If it is the giants, it theoretically gets them two decent players at a discount, adds to their farm AND keeps Harper out of LA.

All theorectical though. Totally not happening.

Yeah, the Cubs are fine as long as everything goes right, but the odds of everything going right over a long season aren't great. Since they didn't spend the money or make any trades (yet), we have to hope the semi-injured bounce back, the old-timers stay "young" for another year, and eve...
