Jose Abreu

Well now I'm excited. This bidding war can't come soon enough. I'm still skeptical but as many have stated in prior weeks, it all comes down to whether or not we offer the most money. I don't really trust us to do that but this rebuild has been full of surprising moves so I guess you never know.

I got that quote from Merkin, here's the full article.

Was gonna create my own thread for this but it works here. Reading between the lines, given the other comments he made about pitching and our many outfield prospects, I 100% believe he's talking about Machado here.

News flash, they are

I don't know how anyone can say this is a 5-7 win team. I know the schedule gets tougher but barring major injuries, I have a really hard time seeing the Bears any worse than 8-8. With development from Trubisky they could even be a 10 win team this year.

Moncada

Did you watch the game or look at the box score

Nice to see Giolito with 5 "earned" runs. The error stat really sucks

Obviously different players/situations but teams had no problems acquiring Chapman and Osuna, so I don't think it matters to them much

Hilarious that they still might not start Mayfield after last night

Not to mention he was great in August too.

If you think this is bad, the Moncada thread started due to his .154 batting average... on April 5th.

You know how half of this thread is the same three people complaining about how Moncada is so much worse than Albies? At this moment, they have identical .310 OBPs.

The measurements can definitely be wrong in sports sometimes, an example being that Kevin Durant is 7’0- which is pretty well known- but he’s listed at 6’9 because he finds it funny. As for these two, there’s really no evidence to support them being 5’11.

Lauri the troll

I was on the Delmonico > Palka > Davidson train a month or so ago but now I’m definitely leaning towards Palka > Delmonico > Davidson.

Kyle Schwarber is good now though

Roster rankings with literally no weight for upside are pretty much useless to me. I understand that upside may be overrated in regular rankings but it still matters a lot. I'd take Luis Robert and his ceiling over the vast majority of those guys.

GOAT ^.

Castillo injured?

Don't get me wrong, I really like Mahomes. Way more than Watson or Jimmy G, in fact. My point was more that every week, there's a new young QB that Trubisky is being unfavorably compared to, and now it happens to be Mahomes.

Because that logic just doesn't work in reality. The Bears could trade for Aaron Rodgers this afternoon. With your logic, Aaron Rodgers would then "suck". You just can't use the "because X happened before, X is going to happen once again" line of thinking when it's just not something that can be proven mathematically, but rather is more likely just sheer luck.

If I had to make a complaint re:Nagy, his clock management on the drive to end the 2nd quarter was abysmal. The Seahawks' field goal to end the half is 100% on him.
