Oh, nothing. That's just Kris Bryant hitting a Grand Salami in HD. Man-Ram also went deep.

C-Castillo

2b-Alcantara
3b-Valbuena
SS-Castro
COFs-Bryant/WhoCares
CF-Lake
This is what I want to see on Opening Day...or September.
Baez, Soler, and Almora could complicate things, but I don't think Baez will move up this year, Soler needs to settle in after injury again, and Almora is still in A ball.
In short, this is just another way for me to say Valbuena is awesome.
There is a bit of a logjam, though...
Castro, Baez, Bryant, Alcantara, and Rizzo can't all play the infield...
Presuming they all share time in the Majors, SURELY Bryant becomes an OFer, yes?
Or does one of them turn into a slew of pitching and erstwhile prospects?Australian Rules Football...just sayin'Comment

I think Soler ends up becoming a trade piece for a top of the rotation arm, eventually. He's got to prove he can stay healthy for that though.Comment

Looks like the Cubs are in serious talks with the A's on Samardzija. Main piece in talks is Addison Russell. Looks like you need a bigger log jam at SS now.Red Sox: 2018 World Series Champions!!!

Just read that the A's want a Shark extension for the deal to happen..
Shark wants ace money and Oakland is obviously a small market team. I don't see that working out very well. Apparently there are third and fourth teams involved too.
Not getting my hopes up, honestly. You guys know trade rumors usually work out for us.
Edit: and Rosenthal says the deal is done. Lol, that was quick.Last edited by k_mac; 07-04-2014, 09:49 PM.Comment

Re: The Friendly Confines: The Official Chicago Cubs Thread
I like the addition of Russell, maybe Baez becomes a 3rd baseman, Castro goes to 2nd and Russell stays at SS in the future, or Castro has become expendable, which I dont think would be a good idea, he has turned it back around this seasonNFL- Green Bay Packers

Absolutely. And hey, we might even get Hammel back next year as he is only signed through this year.Comment

I've read quite a few things, no PTBNL, just cash, a PTBNL.. No idea.
Even if there isn't a PTBNL, I still think getting Russell is awesome. 3 out of 10 of the top prospects in the MLB is awesome. I'm not worried about an infield logjam at all. Talent is talent.
Hammel is a rental, and it was already decided we weren't going to resign Shark. So, two guys who don't figure into our future plans for a talent as great as Russell's is good in my book.Comment
