    I felt bello started slowly in 2025, but gained confidence as the season progressed! He may have run out of gas in September, but he grew a lot in 2025! That said with bello, you want to believe he can take the next step forward and become a solid number 2 in the rotation, but reality says he is a slightly better than .500 pitcher, who is a did number 4 maybe number 3 starter through his prime years which is why the development of Tolle and early is so important in 2026!!!
  2. Larry Cook
    You think he is stopping with just Soto??
  3. Larry Cook
    Being on a 1 year deal, he had incentive to excel!! if early and/or Tolle step forward big time, gray could also be tremendous trade bait for prospects come July for some nl contender

    I can live with this lineup! We may be susceptible to superior left handed pitching, and injuries but I like our position players. I really think Anthony and Mayer take a huge step forward! I think Duran bounces back toward 2024 levels a bit also. And I hope Cora lets Duran run wild on the bases this year!! Duran creating havoc on the base paths should allow other hitters to see more fastballs

    I think the lefty who might have the ability to maybe fit with the strikeout numbers bres-slow prefers in Dominguez! But I think a lot of teams are keeping an eye on him!
  6. Larry Cook
    I doubt anybody is out bidding cohen (or perhaps maybe the dodgers) on skubal next November!!

    Dude, not signing Bregman is not the end of the world! I applaud bres-slow for having the discipline to not give out long term contracts to guys over 30! I like our lineup and hope bres-slow does not trade any of our outfielders or early or Tolle!

    70 million of Bergman’s 175 million is deferred. Wow!!! The cubs went all in that’s for sure We still need a left handed reliever !!!!
  9. Larry Cook
    Donovan bats lefty, I think we need a right handed bat! I was hoping that maybe now, bres-slow could focus on a number 2 starter for our rotation. But none of sufficient quality to claim that role appear to be available now! I think we need another lefty reliever and bres-slow should be able to sign one!
  10. Larry Cook
    Cubs finally signed Bregman!!
  11. Larry Cook
    I think grey is a fine number 3 in our rotation. the “hole” is that our rotation does not have a number 2 starter. Someone that can take the ball in game 2 of a playoff series and have a reasonable expectation that he can outduel whoever Toronto, the Yankees. Cleveland, detriot or Seattle is pitching against us! does anybody think grey can go toe to toe against fried?? I don’t!!
  12. Larry Cook
    Witherspoon has not thrown a pitch in pro ball yet! Not all 1st round draft picks that did well in college, become average or better pros! I think Romero has a chance to be the next average or better position player in our system.
  13. Larry Cook
    He starts the year on the DL or DFA or traded!
  14. Larry Cook
    The “good ball player” hole on our team is a number 2 starting pitcher! another left handed relief pitcher would also be greatly appreciated.

    1.) anthony 2.) Bregman 3.) Duran 4.) Contreras 5.) abreau 6.) story 7.) mayer 8.) narveaz 9.) rafeala bench - Hamilton, Eaton, sogard, Wong Cassas starts the year on the DL.
  16. Larry Cook
    One of the beat reporters said we offered 6 years and 171.5 million. Some people think the cubs are going hard after Bregman. Others think it is Arizona. no one is mentioning Detroit, but everybody says our offer mirrors the Detroit offer from last year!
  17. Larry Cook
    Radio guys say Bregman is choosing between us the the cubs!! looks like both teams have 5 year deals on the table
  18. Larry Cook
    So if Crawford and Sandoval start the year on the DL, who is our 5th starter? (Assuming crochet, gray, bello and Oviedo are the first 4)
  19. Larry Cook
    I thought giolita was a win until he broke down on us.
  20. Larry Cook
    To a minor league deal.
  21. Larry Cook
    Assuming we resign Bregman, does bres-slow still pursue signing a lefty reliever ???
  22. Larry Cook
    So who are we bidding against? Detroit?
  23. Larry Cook
    The question is, does he get the pitch movement back after the surgery? if yes, he was a decent pitcher. if no, there is always the bullpen.
  24. Larry Cook
    Wouldn’t the earliest houck could return is around June 27?
  25. Larry Cook
    I wonder if we can get the Bregman signing done this week, because it appears the Phillies and Mets are in on bichete now!!!!
