He shows up big time in big games

Any chance Collins pinch hits against a eighty or naw? Risky of course

Getting Robert on an extension would be pretty nice. Not sure he does it give his signing bonus. If he truly earns a call up this year, getting him acclimated and ready for next season would be great. He has so few minor league at bats though. Probably a pipe dream.

Killing my Benyamin Bailey buzz.

Benyamin Bailey is gonna make it. That's my uneducated meatball take.

Trading Sale, Quintana, and Eaton for prospects isn't rebuilding to you?

Eloy was a product of the rebuild though. Without the rebuild, there is no Eloy, no Giolito, no Yoan. The team would be very ugly without the rebuild.

He showed a decline in his early 30's then regained godlike form and is pitching as good as ever, at age 36. This season and last season are arguably his best ever. It's just rare a power pitcher has career years at 35 and 36

Guess they'll have to ban Eloy from Wrigley now

What's the most popular Cubs site? PSD? I went looking, but there's no forum as active or even as close to as good as soxtalk. I figured given the giant fanbase they would have one halfway decent site.

@greg775 are you ready to admit the rebuild was worth it?

No, I don't

Baseball is being taken over by a bunch of PC wimps.

Yeah that's a blatant ripoff of the Bronx Bombers. That's why mine is better

Bronzeville Bomb Mob

Treat Goober with some respect or I report

You forgot ron

What happened with Moncada exactly?

Are the AAA parks equipped with the technology n/to capture that data? Or is it just from foot soldiers marking where the hits went?

You said 35+ HR and 100+ RBI don't go for a dime a dozen. Abreu hasn't done that for a long time. Don't post incorrect things if you're going to get butthurt when you get called out for it.

I don't really get the bolded. If he's lying then why sign him for 3 years? Anyway, you don't sign him for 3 years because you don't need to. You can find guys like him in free agency all the time. Plus, we'll have plenty of hitters with Collins, Vaughn, Burger, Eloy, etc that will be the DH/1B

This is a quote from somebody on Reddit about him. "He's from Panama, and comes from a youth program that has placed several prospects in different organizations (including a few that have progressed very quickly). He's very big, but lanky, and is known for his natural hitting and some raw pop. In his youth ball, he was the star hitter on his team, and played a combo of 1B and OF. He has the size and speed to stick in the OF and might be able to play in center. He will likely bulk up once stateside, and that power should be more evident."

This Benyamin Bailey kid looks extremely exciting, from his size and the stats he's putting up. 6'4, 215 at 17 years old! Has 10 walks to 10 strikeouts. He's stealing bags and everything. C'mon futuresox, why don't we have a DSL writer?

Is MLB farm still a solid resource? I use the milb affiliate wide stat page. Nvm, I see they are the same now. I remember when it was just MLBfarm.com

His swing is quite long. I fear the same as well.
