Harold's Leg Lift

Bobby Witt Jr is a monster.

Jonathan Cannon is shut down with a forearm strain. I hate everything.

Cermak hit 3 home runs yesterday including 2 grand slams. DUDE.

I was told Montas is going to a team out west.

There is no doubt Hahn had a brutal off season but back in Novemeber I agreed with the decision to not to offer Rodon the QO because it was far too much money and there was a lot of indecision on if he was going to accept it. I'm not going to use hindsight to change my opinion. I agreed with the decision then and I agree with it now.

So you're saying Rick Hahn knew Rodon was going to turn down the QO but decided he just didn't want the 2nd round pick?

Again we don't know that. With the uncertainty of the lockout looming Boras could've very easily accepted the QO and with it secure a 600% pay increase and said thank you very much.

The Sox know him better than anyone and they didn't trust him at that number. The Sox had to make a decision back in November and didn't have the benefit of hindsight so it doesn't matter what the Giants or any other team thought.

The legitimate injuries is why they only paid him $3M last year and didn't want to risk paying him $18M+ this season.

Yep. He worked harder in the off season than he's ever worked in his life and all he could get out of his arm was 24 starts and 132 innings.

Ramizez agent earned his commission on this one.

Rocker's leverage is gone. He'll sign for what a team offers him or he'll sit out again.

It is but I'm starting to think that's the direction they're gonna go with their 1st pick. Campbell, Cannon, Tidwell should be in the mix along with some of the injured guys like Preilipp, Sims or Rocker.....

They're catching up.

Yes I think it's safe to assume that.

Nothing on trades. Just the minor league deal stuff.

Yet. Beware of the Rick Hahn panic trade.

I was told that last week so I assume Cueto was one of them.

I don't think this signing happened because of the Lynn injury. I think this offer was out well before his injury occurred.

I was told they had offers out for two pitchers on minor league deals. I was not told the names.

It's just a hammy. He's fine.

It's too bad they couldn't figure out a way to get Ryan Borucki as part of the McWacker/Collins trade.

A player has never looked better in a Cubs uniform.
