  1. $25 M per year for 5 years is starting to look like the number. Much better than trading the future IMO.
  2. Kopech as the centerpiece of a deal has the potential to haunt us for 10 years. He just might be better than Snell this year. Vaughn might be very good but DH/1st. basemen are rather plentiful. I've said it before...Snell is good...but not as good as Sale. Free agents only cost money. Need to make trades very carefully IMO.
  3. I would prefer that we let Katz do the unlocking.
  4. Over the years much has been made of how Harry Caray leaving us for the Cubs really helped the Cub brand. Maybe this is the start of a reversal of that trend.
  5. I would rather spend the money on something we actually need like a right fielder and pitching.
  6. The Joc/Engle duo makes a lot of sense...especially if Bauer is on the radar.
  7. Even sports reporting is now biased.
  8. Abreu was very good defensively last year. Better than all but the very best IMO.
  9. I hope Kopech can return to the land of high promise along with Cease. Lopez could be useful if he changes his tempo and learns how to throws strikes. I have high hope that Katz can work some magic with this staff. Coop once had the touch but seems to have lost it.
  10. I could get on board two Q type starters that usually give you 6 innings and 3 or fewer runs. Build up the pen with two Colome back of the pen types. Just another way of competing if JR doesn't have the stomach for 150 million dollar contracts.
  11. Hard to believe Rodgers does this for a living.
  12. Colas has Chicago White Sox written all over him.
  13. If we don't get Springer or Joc because all the money was spent on Bauer...I'm happy with Adam.
  14. Would need to work on getting a bulldog attitude. Needs to go into attack mode. One or two innings of being mad at the guys trying to get hits off him.
  15. If you are referring to the money quoted...I thought that was obvious. My comment was intended to say a contract for Q as depth wouldn't surprise me. One year with an option is probably more realistic, however.
  16. Seven years is not happening. Quintana for 2 or 3 years would not surprise me at all.
  17. I hope LaRussa is the HOF manager his past accomplishments say he is. Good lineup construction coupled with good on-field decisions. Good management of the pitching staff. Why would anyone want the Sox to fail? Not much of a fan I think.
  18. You can bet the other competitors are doing the math for them.
