I'd like to see the Cubs move on Quintana, Could put a better package together than Houston.

Better than Lackey, Hammell and Montgomery.. Young, cheap...what's not to like?

I tend to agree with JORR on him as a pitcher.

But I also do not like the price that it would take to get him. If the Cubs are going to put a package together for a pitcher I would rather it be Archer or Sonny

that's a horrible offer for Q

It wasn't an offer

Would love to reel the Yankees into Q talks but I dont know how they would feel about re-acquiring a guy they let go.

Yeah I'm dumb

The Cubs are going to be the Evil Empire very soon.

We'll see what happens with the Cubs. Hendricks was a very important thing for them. You could see that starting pitching was going to be a problem for them and an obstacle to Elmhurst Steve's fantasies. Arrieta will be too expensive to make sense, although they certainly could sign him if they want to. It would likely make their situation worse. Lackey will be gone. I don't think Montgomery is anything but a mediocre starter. And they'll probably be choking on Lester before that deal is over. The acceptance of Hendricks for what he is- very difficult when pitchers are judged first on their "stuff", how hard they throw- was a godsend for the Cubs.

I think the real loss is Fowler.

the team will score more runs next year.

I'm gonna guess not. They got over 800 last season.

You'd have gone broke, cause I know you would have bet everything you owned against the Cubs winning the World Series last year or Bryant being MVP.

Confucius say: bet with head, not with heart

Stop doubting these boys, this big blue train is just getting started.

Confucius didn't speak broken English.

I don't see Fowler leaving having any effect, Almora is better defensively and even if he isn't quite as good as Dexter, Schwarber getting 500 at bats and Heyward hitting better should be a net gain even minus Fowler, the team will score more runs next year.

Quintana is gonna take a heavy package. As a white sox fan, I think he’s a better player than sale. He doesn’t put up the sexy stats but he’s more consistent and never hurt plus he has a cheaper salary and more years of control

Which boardmember?
