I'm going to wait to see what the experts think before I give my opinion.

Keyser already said he'll cut and paste his "opinion" later.

The Keyser Soze Haterade being guzzled around here is flirting with 151 proof.

Keyser is alright.

Just some friendly banter.

When will Theo get some #1 starters? When will he get an organizations top prospect? That usually helps the rebuilding process.

It'll be interesting to see what Garza does the rest of the year and the rest of his career. We gave up Chris Archer who is kicking ass with TB lately, so now with both being ex-Cubs, let's hope at least one of these "prospects" they got for Garza becomes a + WAR guy.

Olt was the Rangers #1 prospect. 22nd overall in baseball coming into the season. And he is the second best part of this deal.

When they buy them and one or two develop from the vast number of arms they draft.

They could have taken a #1 this year, but the organizations philosophy is to draft/acquire vast numbers of pitchers and produce from the numbers. Thus Bryant gets drafted, 11 of next 14 picks Pitchers.

I do agree with you and I just assume right now we are in the "Good Phase" of E Jax.

He had one game this year v AR he allowed 12 hits, other than that, his worst game was allowing 8 hits once and never had more than 3 walks.

All that said, he would probably be a player you could move if he hadnt been passed around the league 3 times and everyone knows exactly what you will get.

One thing you do get is a good pitcher usually right after he is traded.

I haven't heard anyone raving about a pitcher that has #1 stuff. Everyone appears to be middle of the rotation guys.

We appear to have the bats going forward but may have to overpay or sell prospects for arms. I want to see a #1 starter or 2 and I'll be a believer.

I'm with you but why do they have to trade for that?

I mean there are like 15-20 #1s in baseball right?


Agree with BF either a draftee, a fortunate rare unforeseen devolopment of a middle guy, or free agent

It's over. Theo is the greatest GM in Chicago sports history.

:lol: Nope. Those are the words of an unbiased reporter. Make sure not to wear the cap when they win the World Series.

Profar was.


Yea my bad, forgot he didn't start up in the bigs.


Cubs may have as many as 8 prospects in the top 101. Theo could defeat Superman without kryptonite.

Are teams going to be afraid to make trades with the Cubs now? Outside of the COL trade for Dumbfuck, Theo has been burning them and earning them, snapping necks and cashing checks. I fear for the 29 other teams when they pick up the phone and Theo is on the other end.

Well the baseball isn't really better. But it smells better. And the Red Line is still running past the ballpark.

CJ Edwards has struck out all 6 batters he's faced in his debut in Cubs' system.

Theo's done it again!
