Drafts? How many pitchers has Theo drafted who have been good starters?
-
My point wasn't that he builds his pitching staffs on the free agent market, but that he builds his staff on the open market from outside his own organization, Arrieta and Hendricks were not products of the Cubs system. Theo has not been very successful at drafting and developing pitchers. He builds from outside his organization.
-
Last year's crew was a lifeless bunch, and the smurfs need a leader. Betts is a really good player, but he is not an imposing player by any stretch. A centerpiece, leader type is needed with some TNT in his bat.
-
Theo knows how to build a pitching staff on the open market.
-
Speak for yourself, but I plead guilty to being a crazy Red Sox fan.
-
And you don’t spend $13 million on a coin flip. That was not a “guess”. It was correct when I took the position and proved to be right. It was no more of a “guess” than any projection of player performance by experts.
-
Stop the nonsense Bell. It wasn't a guess at all. Buch had a long track record of pitching left than half of a season even when he was performing well. At the end, the quality of his performance had become inconsistent. Being available for only half of a season and forcing the team to find a replacement made him not worth it in my opinion. Most importantly, his performance had deteriorated.
-
I took that position with foresight, and I was right.
-
People only do something good to assuage guilt? That's more than a little cynical.
-
But not for $13 million
-
Like the Buchholz options were no-brainers.
-
But he has had 2 terrible years out of 3 in a Red Sox uniform. Two out of three is bad. I wouldn't have done that deal every day. They could have got him for half price after that first year.
-
i hope this guy is not a head case. I'd rather trade for Encarnacion or Machado and look for an elite bat in next year's FA group.
-
We reportedly have expressed interest in Encarnacion. I don’t know if I believe that. We have Hanley and Moreland sharing first base and DH. Where would Encarnacion fit?
-
The Press is tough on most of our players, but I go to lots of games and I don’t recall the fans giving him a hard time. I don’t consider Talk Radio call ins to be fans. They are mo mos seeking attention.
-
I don’t remember Crawford getting booed at games. I think the fans were very patient with him.
-
Rosenthal is usually wrong.
-
He did that twice, but that rich extension didn't kick in until after the first of those awful seasons which make the extension more absurd.

-
i guess that you just can’t get enough of 15 and 17 loss seasons with ERAs closer to 5 than 4 and leading the league in HRs for $21 million/season. Don’t sign me up, and you are fired as the GM.
-
I didn't get the eagerness to give him the 4 year extension. We should have traded him last off season when his value was high.
-
I am yet to hear of an instance where quitting one's job and sacrificing a career has saved a marriage. It didn't work for another Ryan too -- Sandberg. He walked away from $14 million/2 years to save his marriage. She filed divorce papers 3 weeks after he retired. He came back to play the following season for $1.5 million. Two Cubbies named Ryan neck and neck in the dope contest
-
Hopefully, the truck can pick up a big hitter en route.
-
My opinion that Dempster was a dope to walk away from $13 million. He is a hero to John Henry. His wife divorced him shortly thereafter. I wonder if she cited stupidity in the divorce papers.
-
Pedroia thinks that he will be ready by Opening Day, but he has always be overly aggressive. The team says that he will be ready by the end of May, but I think they tend to be conservative to lower expectations. I am going with May1st.
