QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 12:58 PM) Did you know that Bryce Harper has yet to face a pitcher who was younger than him. That is pretty crazy. That is crazy.

Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi 4m4 minutes ago In suspending Kelvin Herrera for 5 games, MLB went beyond the 3 games LaTroy Hawkins received for similar incident in 2008.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 01:20 PM) Will we see Rodon today? I hope not.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 01:35 PM) Agreed, also I hate how everything the media writes about us has to mention the Cubs too. Can we ever just be our own entity for once? Maybe someday... That bothers me about as much as Sox fans being insecure about what the Cubs are doing. Hell I am more worried about the Royals/Tigers/Indians then I am the Cubs. I'd worry about the Twins, but they are awful.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 11:57 AM) Why is Baez still so easily tradeable for quality pitching? I know he's young and that was a small sample size, but I'd be very very worried about his strikeouts. He may not be an everyday player in the majors. He's the one I don't get. If everything goes right he is Adam Dunn. If things don't go right? Joe Borchard. He still has a ways to go even to get to that ceiling.

QUOTE (Tex @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 10:45 AM) Congratulations! Have you reserved a soxtalk alias for him? I was looking through the registered names and Mydadcantspell is available. Will you be doing his homework? Nah, the oldest is already doing Jason's homework.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 10:43 AM) I would love for Dodgers or Yankees to sign David Price, as that way he'd stay away from the Tigers and Cubs. If the Cubs want to throw a quarter of a billion dollars at David Price, I am OK with that. Same with the Tigers, Yankees, Red Sox, or whoever.

QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 10:31 AM) Totally agree with you. A lot of people that dont want the Cubs to succeed fall back on the idea that its the Cubs and they will find someway to ruin all of this. I just dont buy this reasoning this time. Epstein built this team the right way and now they will reap the benefits. Maybe not a WS victory but they are going to be a force to be reckoned with every year for a long time now. The only thing that I can see get in their way is injuries and it would have to be multiple season ending injuries of key players year in and year out. They still lack of lot of pitching.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 10:33 AM) How bout that Gordon Beckham and Tyler Flowers? For as much s*** as we give them they came up big last night. Being able to use them more as match up guys has been a huge advantage for Ventura. Having a decent bench has been a good thing.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 10:06 AM) Castro has an incredibly team-friendly contract. 3 time all-star at age of 25 who's signed to the following: 2016 26 Chicago Cubs $7,857,143 2017 27 Chicago Cubs $9,857,143 2018 28 Chicago Cubs $10,857,143 2019 29 Chicago Cubs $11,857,14 I am honestly surprised a deal with the Yankees wasn't done in the off season. It just made sense for both teams.

QUOTE (OnlyGillis @ Apr 20, 2015 -> 10:22 PM) Maddon became available when the VP of Tampa's baseball ops quit. Maddon had a clause that if that guy left, he could opt out of his contract. Maddon didn't know that until the Cubs tampered and told him that.
