Thank you @Corn Hawk for returning to the thread and reaffirming that GMDM is the BFJ. He has no idea what talent is if it Danza slapped him in the face.

We are godawful, swept by the fucking Disastros? Good god. SMH

Who loves Carlos Ruiz?

Papelbum does!

[Corn Hawk]

Earlier in the game he hit one off the wall and was held to a single. Not a particularly fast runner.

Jose Reyes gift-wrapped a win today though.

Seitzer had to be laughing pretty hard at the Royals today. Funny that they fired the hitting coach when they got to Toronto.

And Utley is the 4th best 2B of all time.

 

[Packfan]

 

[R2D2]

I'll take:

LF Bonds $5
CF Griffey Jr $2
RF Aaron $4
SS Ripken Jr $2
2B Utley $2
3B Chipper $1
1B Gehrig $3
SP Ryan $2
CL Rivera $5
C Molina $4

 

[DeadMan]

Would anybody really take Piazza as their catcher? I know he is one of the best offensive catchers of all time, but he's probably also one of the worst defensive catchers of all time

 

[GatorTD]

Kimbrel is 4 dollars and youre arguing about Piazza?

 

[DeadMan]

Kimbrel is 4 dollars and youre arguing about Piazza?

Fair point You can get Kimbrel or Champman ... or one of the greatest relievers of all time for less than either one of those

 

[GatorTD]

Rose also has more games in the OF than at 1B.

 

[DeadMan]

SP - Maddux
RP - Wagner
C - Ivan Rodriguez
1B - Gehrig
2B - Robinson
SS - Wagner
3B - Schmidt
LF - Williams
CF - Griffey
RF - Babe

Lineup:

5. Aaron
6. Jones
7. Ripken
8. Rodriguez

A little RH heavy, but pretty flipping solid in my view.

 

[Gooksta]

cubs scouts will be at Dylan Bundy's extended spring training start... aww snap

 

[Orlando]

I love this as a Cubs fan, but the the O's would be so dumb to make that trade.

 

[Packfan]

2:27pm: Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun adds to the story, reporting that the Cubs had one of their top talent evaluators — one who is not typically assigned to low-level minor league games — present at one of Harvey’s most recent start for Class-A Delmarva.
Connolly asked Orioles executive VP Dan Duquette about the timeline for trades, and Duquette replied by pointing out that the team just made a trade to acquire Nick Hundley this weekend. Duquette added that he and his staff are constantly talking to other teams, though naturally, he declined to comment on Samardzija specifically.
Of course, as Connolly points out, even if the O’s are being aggressive, it doesn’t necessarily behoove the Cubs to deal early. They could potentially extract more from a deal by getting other teams involved in the bidding to drive up the eventual return.
10:42am: While we’re still more than two months from the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, multiple sources have indicated to Bruce Levine of CBS Chicago that the Orioles are the “leading team of interest” in the early stages of the Jeff Samardzija sweepstakes. According to Levine, there’s mutual interest between the two teams, which isn’t surprising given the Orioles’ wealth of young pitching.
Baltimore has built up a strong crop of top-tier pitching prospects in the form of Dylan Bundy, Kevin Gausman, Hunter Harvey (who, as a 2013 draftee, is ineligible to be dealt until after this year’s draft) and Eduardo Rodriguez. Each of those players ranked inside the game’s top 61 prospects, per Baseball Prospectus. While Harvey didn’t crack the Top 100 lists of Baseball America or MLB.com, the other three are all present on those lists as well. That crop makes the O’s a particularly logical trading partner for the Cubs, who are stocked with high-end hitting prospects in their well-regarded farm system but lack potential high-impact arms.

 

[osick87]

Yeah the Jays can't really throw together a group of prospects like that.

 

[Gooksta]

jays scratch Stroman from his minor league start..

 

[Gatorfan4life]

really dont like that list. Kimbrel and Chapman? Utley? but id be pretty satisfied with this:

SP Maddux
CP Rivera
C Pudge
1B Gehrig
2B Jackie Robinson
3B Schmidt
SS Ozzie Smith
LF Ted Williams
CF Willie Mays
RF Stan Musial

30$ used. Only Compromise I made was getting Jackie at second instead of Morgan in order to get Mariano

 

[osick87]

 

[osick87]

jays scratch Stroman from his minor league start..

He's rumored to maybe start tomorrow

 

[Corn Hawk]

Omar Infante just got thrown out by Bautista on what should have been a single. Yes, just like Butler yesterday. Royals, man. Royals.

 

[Corn Hawk]

Plotty, thoughts on the performance by Aaron Brooks today?

No BFinJaying here. Welcome to Major League Baseball, son. Insert penis in ass without lube.

See you in Omaha tomorrow.

 

[atlbraves]

Plotty, thoughts on the performance by Aaron Brooks today?

There's only one Aaron Brooks that I trust to make the throws @Reel @GR8 2 B FL G8R

 

[Packfan]

This is not a recording: Kris Bryant has homered again! It's his league best 18th of the season & gives the Smokies a 2-1 lead in the 1st!

 

[Gooksta]

is that 5 in his last 6 games?

 

[GatorTD]

Astros become first team to sign an extension to a guy with 0 service time.

 

[Gooksta]

great deal for them though

 

[osick87]

 

[Plotty]

In a shocking turn of events, Royals play like they give a fuck on E!SPN and on verge of winning.

sure loved the reminder of the 28 year absence from the playoffs.

 

[Gooksta]

Kris Bryant is in a Slump. went 2 for 4, with walk and a run scored.. both hits were Singles.

 

[R2D2]

@goblue96 Can't wait until Ryne is fired for Ruben's inability to build and manage a team.

 

[Packfan]

that is why I am glad the Cubs didn't hire him, not sure I could stand to see him struggle
