Wait... are we already 6-8 over the cap? I thought that we were under the cap. If we are already over the cap I'll sign Madsen (+- 10M/3yrs) and Kuroda (12 M/1Y), right away.

You're welcome Jung. If this true (Kuroda out of the list), I don't see Boston giving Jackson a 5yr-contract. Oswalt surly is asking something around Kuroda's money/year. Madsen is the other option, but I don't want to see him as a starter. If they make a move, now is the moment. Remember that NY needs a pitcher too. The money won't be an issue for them, and Kuroda seems to be the best option out there.

I wonder if "M_ _ _ y B _ _ l" term can be used partially (one or few positions) in order to rebuild a team. ORS said that you can use that approach in order to rebuild a team.
-
Yup, Reason why Pumpsie's theory could make sense if we do not sign anyone else. Nevertheless I will be pissed off if we don't make the POs, again.

where's your sense of humor? Cmon!

I think that all of us should move on. As A700 and I said, Cubs won't go anywhere like this. You and others say that they are in rebuild mode, fine. I said that they are using some "moneyball" concepts to fill some positions in order to face 2012 season and maybe beyond. You say that all their moves looks like short-term stop-gaps, fine. It's all about opinion. No big deal.
-
Bingo. I agree with you ORS. IMO he has already started the process and have used this approach in order to fill some positions. On the other hand and as I said, maybe he will be more cautious at FA. Seems like he has been, thus far (at FA).
-
Exactly, They need to get rid of all their bad players and bad contracts and eventually make a huge splash or two to add the players who can put them over the top. Jenks, Lackey, D-K and certainly Crawford (I think he will comeback, He better) are clogging your payroll in order to bring the SP and BP arms, aren't they?.
-
I think that Pumpsie thinks that the Red Sox should do the same. We need to clean up the mess that Theo (Some say LL or a mix) left (FA signings). Maybe Theo has learned the lesson reason why he has been very cautious with the Cubs (at FA) or simply Cubs owners didn't want to open their wallet after seeing the mess he left in Boston. We'll never know. We'll see.
-
Plain and simple E1. Is he using moneyball concepts in order to rebuild his team? Yes or no. To me seems so. Are they going to splash in 2013? I have no idea. BL. IMO Cubs will likely suck in 2012 unless Theo make something magical.
-
I see your point ORS. Still the substance of the discussion wasn't the moneyball thing. Yes, I mentioned it but E1 was who take it as the main issue which i already made clear that it wasn't. I think we can move on. No big deal. On the other hand and now that we are discussing about the moneyball thing... In your opinion, is Theo a moneyballer? if yes, is he going to change his philosophy in order to rebuild the cubs? can you use moneyball approach in order to rebuild a team? is Theo using moneyball concepts in order to rebuild the cubs at some positions, THUS FAR?
-
Beyond the Cubs will or won't suck next season (which was the center of the discussion), when I see guys like Paul Maholm, David de Jesus and some prospects like Rizzo coming to a big market team and not big moves yet, seems like they are applying some concepts of the moneyball philosophy in order to rebuild their team. On the other hand, out there are plenty of examples of Big Market professional sport teams that rebuild their teams with big acquisitions (as base/core), young talent and depth and are set very quickly in order to compete in the short-term (next season). IMO This is not the Cub case, thus far. We'll see.

As I said, It wasn't the center of the discussion, but Light me E1, what is the moneyball approach? I want to learn.
