  1. Hope you're all holding onto your hats.
  2. Wow, you really think so? I thought it was pretty much a meaningless move, but I'll listen to you and believe it has saved the season. Thanks!
  3. They did have both Jose Iglesias and Hanley Ramirez, but chose to trade them away during that period.
  4. Knowing what we know now, OCab was a bad hombre and had to go. Rentawreck was a truly horrible signing. Theo's crush on Lugo was clearly misguided. I will speak for everyone and say how we all loved Marco Scutaro and Alex Gonzalez. Gonzalez should have ben on the '07 team. Trading Scutaro for Clayton Mortensen was really dumb. Scutaro and Middlebrooks on the left side of the IF in '13 might not have cut it.
  5. I'd say trade for Edman, but he's owed about 45M left on his deal.
  6. 45 starts at DH last season. The transition has begun.
  7. -37 OAA for his career. Benintendi needs to be a DH.
  8. Why did he try to become Mr Workout in 2019 then?
  9. Settling on a different player each season is far different than throwing 4 guys at one position in one year like the Red Sox have continuously done at 2b. LAD LF '25 Conforto 129 Games '24 Teoscar 115 Games '23 Peralta 108 Games NYM CF 100+ Games Nimmo '23 > Bader '24 > Taylor '25 NYM 3B Baty '23 > Vientos '24 > Timeshare '25 Boston Red Sox 19-25 at 2b: The only player to amass over 100 games at 2b over that time period was Christian Arroyo, with his highest GS in a season at 51! It's just not the same.
  10. This would be a Cubs deal then, not a Stros deal. Or worse?
  11. Wong has played 29 innings at 2b since '22. Hard to count him.
  12. Looking great in the uniform doesn't always provide on field results. That's why scouting has become less important than metrics over the past 25 years.
  13. Trading Hoerner or Shaw would immediately alter the Cubs’ plans for the coming season at least, and moving Shaw would have a longer-term impact since he only just made his MLB debut in 2025. Hoerner is a free agent next winter, and with Bregman now locked into the hot corner, the thought has been that Shaw could take over from Hoerner as second base. (The Cubs are also considering Shaw as an outfield option to expand his versatility.)
  14. “If we can trade a guy to potentially get a left-handed bat or something like that, we’ll consider it,” Brown told reporters (including Matt Kawahara of The Houston Chronicle). “But I think right now we have a really good infield. We do have the depth. We have a long season, 162. We have some veterans that we’d like to give some breaks during the course of a season, and to have this depth is good.” That’s the tone Brown has struck all winter. He said as early as the GM Meetings that they weren’t motivated to trade Christian Walker and had no interest in moving Isaac Paredes. He again spoke about those corner infielders today. “Right now, both of them are still part of our roster. We have plans for both of them to play. So right now, the plan is for both of them to be there,” Brown said.
  15. We're still allowed some good in our lives. 🤩
  16. Maybe? As a PH in '25: 16 PA, 732 OPS, 4 H, 1 2b
  17. Aside from 2b in LA and LF in NY, where are the issues?
  18. '22 was the only year that it was settled.
  19. They aren't signing Pham. Don't worry about it. They are just trying to look busy right now.
  20. If Duran is DH'ing, Masa (also GB heavy LHB) has no place on this team.
  21. Maybe: Story came in with a known injury that was bound to take him out and eventually did lead to TJS. The other two IL stints were due to a fractured hand by being hit by a pitch and dislocating his shoulder awkwardly diving for a ball. If we squint, we could say that it was just a case of bad luck and expected TJS that was widely known at the time of signing.
