fathom Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Can't believe they didn't review, as Rizzo never tagged the guy. Joe West is just the worst Matt Spiegel @MattSpiegel670 59s59 seconds ago 7th inning on, reviews are umpires decision. But Nats can ask them to conaider it. Not sure why they didn't.

fathom Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Ha, just saw it's the same crew (Rob Drake in particular) that had the awful ejection of Bryce Harper earlier this year. It's just a shame Hawk wasn't doing this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Cubs are playing David Ross a lot over Montero, or am I just not watching enough? They talk about Ross like he's the new team mascot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) 119 ab's and 43 gp for Montero so far....hasn't he also been on the DL? 762 ops the most productive numbers on the board since 2012. Edited June 5, 2015 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Cubs missed Scherzer today due to a rain out earlier in the week, and they also miss Price and Kluber in the next 10 days. Seems like the Sox haven't had such luck missing aces this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipps Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Not that I would do it but I may think about it. The Sox do well with producing draft picks and under the radar pitchers into useful and sometimes great pitchers. They havent had much luck in producing dynamic offensive power in the lineup through the draft or trading for prospects. Baez has the potential to be something special in power at shortstop.

shipps Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Oh and I would most certainly trade Quintana for Schwarber. He is exactly what the Sox need right now. It would be a ballsy move and maybe wound up looking really stupid in the end but you have to roll the dice when it comes to obtaining premiere offensive talent.

I might do that just because I feel bad for Quintana and he would finally get a team around him. But it's a lot more intriguing than Baez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Quintana is one of the most valuable trade pieces in the game. Baez is on a fast track to bustville. No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks. If this is true then you trade him. You need offense and this is a different era of baseball. This is not what we once knew of pitching being a premium. The tables have turned and now dynamic offensive hitters are a premium. Quintana on this team that isn't going to make the playoffs. Quintana has never been a pitcher that he accumulated wins. Get an unbelievable can't miss prospect out if him now before his stock falls so far it's not even a possibility. Because it will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baez has bust written all over him. You can't be serious about the wins comment, his horrific run support is not Quintana's fault. Even though his ERA doesn't look great this year, his peripherals are still pretty good (3.25 FIP). He's also got a very team-friendly contract for a while and has a proven track record. No way in hell am I trading him for Baez, who looked horrific in his short stint last year. His K rate may be down this year but it's still high and he's not facing ML pitching. I wouldn't trade him for Schwarber either, give me a proven hitter if you want to trade him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) Baez and Schwarber haven't proven they can play a premium position well. If there was ANY confidence in Schwarber sticking at catcher in even a "Piazza-esque" way, you'd have to consider that move just for the sake of the future offense. Russell has that ability...and then you move Tim Anderson over to 2B. The problem is the Cubs now have Baez with a broken hand, so they don't have the luxury of trading Castro for pitching because you have to cover both middle infield positions (and no, Alcantara isn't the answer at second, either).

Russell+ is what I want for Quintana. You don't get The Flying Serpent for cheap. Schwarber + Baez would make the most sense, but Baez just has too many flaws to trust his game right now. The other bats like McKinney or Almora aren't immediate or even short-term fits in our current line-up. Maybe Schwarber, CJ Edwards and Gleyber Torres/Pierce Johnson/Duane Underwood.
