You sly fox.

@fathom next time you share random twitter source bros I'm going to ban you to the shadow realm.

I blame SoxTalk's "Argument against bringing Cease up" thread

Yeah, whenever he gets mentioned its mostly that 1) He's a lottery ticket (which is still true - he just happened to be the winning ticket) 2) Why are we giving up anything other than Erik Johnson? We had basically 0 insight into Tatis back then. The only reason people disliked it was because it was acquiring James Shields, who we all basically hated. I still think SoxTalk basically willed Tatis the super prospect into being.

Oh man, I had almost forgotten about the trade until you dropped this link.

If this offseason taught me anything, it's that I hate random internet insiders.

Why first pitch Yo

I think he's supposed to charge the first base ump? But yeah, that was bad.

Advancing the runner isn't bad, but not what we needed.

Right now would be a good time for a bat flip.

We might not be able to trade him with Colome for Ian Happ and Montgomery if we do that.

Rex Hudler is everything wrong with baseball.

- Get rid of the Competitive Balance Picks. Big market teams might not be as inclined to tank if they know their 2nd round pick will actually be in the 30s. Right now a 2nd rounder for a team missing the playoffs can be in the early 60s. - Do the Bill Simmons tournament, where teams do a single-elimination tournament to set the draft order. Winner gets the top pick, runner up gets second, then the rest is by W-L. - Do the above, but with a twist. Roster has to be constructed as follows: Allowed 5 MLB players (26 and younger), 5 AAA players, 5 AA players, 5 A+ players, 5 A players. All of the minor-league players have to have prospect status in tact. This crazy ass idea will incentivize teams to develop their farms.

Then after The Feathered Serpent is reborn, we flip Q for Kyle Tucker and Josh James from the Astros.

The Cubs currently have Darvish, Hamels, Q, Hendricks, Chatwood, and Lester on the 10-day IL. Unless they're banishing one of them to the pen for Nova, your deal makes no sense.

You don't trade closers for two years of a 29-year-old "solid" RP

Every time I see this thread title

Hard pass. Little control, not young. Would much rather try to get a back end/just outside of the Top 100 at the deadline with Colome.

Just saw he had good stats, so gonna call this one "yoga" rage.

Did he stop doing yoga?

Nothing in Adam Engel's history implies he could be that. That's like saying you'll turn Daniel Palka into the Cincinnati version of Adam Dunn.

The all-timer was Storm Throne, pitcher. Unfortunately, he sucked.
