Major league scouting has been dog shit for a long time now. Got absolutely ridiculed for saying it and saying we should not trust Rick hahn to have a good off-season. And he sure didn’t.

We seem to be pretty tight against the budget right now tho

What's the point of trading kimbrel if they're not going use the money? jimmy seems confident that they are waiting but do have offers on kimbrel. But he's not confident on conforto. Are they trying to trade kimbrel merely to be under budget? the front office and rumors have me scratching my head

But bullpen is the single most volatile position in baseball. And even then, they didn't have to go and sign three of them to player friendly deals. Especially when there are bigger, more important holes to fill like guys that play everyday in RF and 2B.

Well was there some disconnect between Hahn and Jerry? How did he know the budget but also do this bad of a job preparing for the offseason? Why did he refuse to upgrade needs? Was there a misunderstanding as to what the budget was? This just makes no sense.

sorry it's a rhetorical question, wish I could bring some sourced news here for ya.

(what if they don't have any offers for kimbrel at all)

As someone who feverishly called out the front office back in November for their inability to allocate funds efficiently and identify and analyze big league (not minor league) markets correctly, and got yelled at for those takes, it's nice to see the board wake up to the ineptitude of this front office.

Great information that i appreciate hit men. So in worst case scenario (which is a complete possibility at this point), waiting to make the moves that fill the needs of the ballclub is a mistake, because we will have no time to make those moves (if it gets to this point of course). The worst thing that could happen to us is ending the lockout in like june and starting the regular season a few weeks from there. Would give us no time to fill our holes

anyway, the avalanche are winning the cup

reported today that the blackhawks are going to try and use statue of limitations to dismiss the kyle beach case. What a classy organization

what happens if the lockout lasts until june? Im assuming they would give teams enough time to make moves to the start of "pre season" (usually known as spring training). This ix completely unprecedented to me

he was pretty good last year

Aren't the ricketts worse?
