I’m not always the most patient, but jeez I’d sell on Davis if he has top 20 prospect value in the league.

I don’t find bad umpire decisions to be romantic.

Robo announcers would be an upgrade over a lot of the booths. This years draft picks will in large part be driven by projection systems. Bad managers get fired. Bad umps don’t.

I didn’t have a chance to catch the game yesterday but it looks like it was a rough one for the ump.

With all the hype on Adley Rutschman this weekend it’s funny to note that he’s actually a year older than Soto and Soto already has 106 home runs and a .296/.428/.542 career line. Adley is going to...

I just spent a week in Houston and I do not wish that on Hendricks.

I’ll take Rivas vs a lefty, or Morel with the bags loaded if they walked Rivas over Wisdom in that spot.

The roster is trash and you are right that the state of the roster is the far bigger...

If this game mattered I’d be pretty annoyed that Ross let Wisdom hit in a situation where a single would have tied the game.

I think that’s a 1 year mindset, not a 14 year mindset. I don’t see why $220 is a cap either. They did spend about $240 on 2019 and the lux tax line in 2023 is $233 million. Plus as noted in another...

I haven’t followed the Soto rumors at all. I was kind of assuming the idea they’d trade him now is BS, but the Nats are up for sale right? Maybe the next owner doesn’t want to be in a position to...

The Cubs don’t have any prospects that they should worry about trading for a 23 year old hall of fame level talent.

I’m 100% in favor of them trying to win every year, but they need to keep and sign the right players. They shouldn’t extend him because they need to extend someone. I think the question has to be if...

Yes and then make sure he gets extended. If you can acquire the next 14 years of a guy like that, you just do it.

I dunno. I think committing 6 years to a guy like Happ won’t work out well. He’s never had a 2 fWAR season (2020 was weird and short but if we count that, he’s still only had 1). Until this year he’s...

He’s a free agent after 2023 and they probably won’t be very good before then. He’s in that same “extend or trade” situation as Willson but a year behind. He hasn’t shown yet that he can maintain...

Looking at the schedule from May 28 to the deadline, their talent level, and their current record I can’t imagine a scenario where they are .500 at the deadline.

I think they’ll be making some...

I don’t want to take away his versatility since that is probably his path to an extended career but there are a few spots on the field that he could just take for 2022. I say that as someone who...

They throw a lot harder now and generate a lot more movement on pitches today.

I’d assume that’s the reason why there are more injuries. Plus players return from injuries at a higher rate now so...

Wait till you see where it’s going in the future thawv…

With the performance they have gotten out of him, it’s hard to complain about their usage of Thompson. He’s been excellent and he’s overachieved.

He has some regression coming, but the pieces are...

Yep. Even if Morel bombs you can easily find someone to give you as much value as Wisdom.

Yeah, of course. My concern is just with the bat. He doesn’t seem to control the strike zone all that well compared to a lot of the other top college bats.

Parada yes, but I don’t see Susac as a top 10 talent.

I don’t have very high expectations for Morel, but this team badly needs another infield option. Every infielder other than Rivas (who the jury is still out on) currently active on the roster sucks....

Why is Jung lower risk than Lee? I’d say the opposite.

It’s more likely the Cubs end up with a college hitter just because of the volume, but I think there is a chance Johnson is there at 7 and...
