Wisdom, Hoerner, and Madrigal. Plus waves and waves of talent will be coming from high draft picks. The future is bright for the next Cub Dynasty!

It will be some time before sell-offs become a viable way to fast-track a rebuild again. The Sox were really the last to do it and I don't think anyone is going to move on from blue chip prospects again any time soon.

Mediocre trolling. You sound like you live in Beverly with a bunch of cops stuck in dead end jobs.

They will bring back Castellanos for either LF or 1B and extend Contreras. That will be the core of the clubhouse.

This is pretty funny.

I think Sox fans have more joy in the Cubs rebuild than if the Sox won the World Series.

You guys have a pretty good team with a shot. You should run off and enjoy it.

Is it really true Hoyer turned down Crochet for Midget?

I doubt it. Crochet is worth significantly more.

There does seem to be a concerted effort to move away from launch angle guys to contact guys, which kind of contradicts the "expert" analysis back of the baseball card memorization types that have been polluting WSCR over the past few years.

Baseball seems to have figured out that while the chicks dig the long ball, the chicks get pretty bored watching a strikeout parade as they wait for the one or two solo homeruns from their heroes.

Here's the thing: It's all about pitching and always has been. Everyone knows this, whoever is pitching is best (or gets the hottest) come October most of the time takes home the hardware.

And pitchers do not like batters who draw a lot of walks, force high pitch counts and are constant threats to crush any mistake a pitcher makes into the outfield stands. Pitcher do like batters who get themselves out without working a count and only usually capitalize on hung breaking balls or misplaced fastballs with a single or double.

Its makes for a shitter, more unwatchable version of baseball no doubt. I hate it. But its just what wins games. A lineup of slap-hitters who can't hit home runs and don't work counts (since their strategy is to get on base with their bat, not by the umpires discretion) won't terrorize opposing pitchers, and if your starter outpitches and outlasts the other team's starter you more often than not win the game.

Even for the Sox it wasnt a fast=track. It's been 4 years since they traded Sale and 4 years since they got Eloy. It took a while. This is my point. Bully Hoyer thinks he will be good again in no time, and that aint happenin'.

Fuck him.

The Sox probably would've been pretty good last year if not for the virus craziness. And they should've been much better in 2019 than they were, it was a bit of a fuck-up.

It is a terrible trolling attempt from a guy who will be at more Cubs games than Sox games.

West Beverly, maybe....more like Mount Greenwood. But the Bev cops I know are retiring at 52. Insane.

Well, they are sad.

I won't lie. I wanted to watch Eloy as a Cub. That's gonna hurt.

You might see a spiteful post from me from time to time.

Who fucking doesn't want to see a World Series in Chicago? I like you guys. Enjoy.

But I didn't grow up in Chicago with your weird regional prejudices.

The bad Sox fans on here started this Dr Ken. We all know the names and you know the truth but are trying to be diplomatic.

Most post all-time in the Cubs section:

1.Frank
2.HY
3.Dolphin
4.Jorr

Three Sox fans and Mult most of us have on ignore.

It’s really only Caller Bob’s dumbass from what I see, but I don’t spend a lot of time in Sox threads.

For the most part the majority of Cubs fans on this message board agree with criticisms of their favorite Chicago team.

Saddest Cub fan of all is conns who was second only to bigfan in trolling the Sox section.

That’s unfortunate Conns participates in such chicanery.

He’s an otherwise solid poster IMO.

I am glad JORR and Sox fans are feisty like this. Makes it fun around here. Cubs fans enjoyed our run now it is their turn.

Will be interesting to see if their waves of talent can do better than the Cubs run.
