Theo Epstein is doing a great job IMO. Cubs will be in a good position in 2016 like the Pirates are now, competive with plenty of prospects on the way still.

Agreed, Arch. There has been a ton of hype surrounding Olt for a long time but its nice to get him for 2 months of Garza.

Yeah might get 5 Guys out of this. I think the prize is the A ball pitcher. But Olt and Grimm give two guys that have and Will give a handful of vet cheap mlb players with a ton of upside.

Great deal when you only give up 10-12 starts from a good I but plagued pitcher.

Oh no I was wrong?!

No one has ever come up on the wrong side of a prediction on a sports forum!

Remember when you said you like to do more "constructive" stuff with your free time rather than watch television?

Is this what you meant? Pointing out incorrect Internet predictions?

Good stuff.

Should I wrap it up with a "LOL" to really drive the point home?

You're wrong more often than not. It's not my fault. Just pretty hilarious commentary on your part.

This stuff is constructive for me. Knowing what the squares are thinking helps business, bucko. Thanks again.

Marlins called up Yelich. The FO has been calling him the LF of the future. This could be the end of Juan Pierre's career. Guy had a good run but his OBP% is tragically low and his arm has long been well below average. He was always a fan favorite down here.

Jon Lester has become a JAG.

Base hit his first AB. Sweet swinging lefty.

Base hit 2nd AB

I know no one cares but I'm excited.

Pierre will find another home. He always turns up somewhere, like Scott Podsenik.

Yelich with a base hit in his 3rd AB

He's going to the HOF with Puig

 

[Archie]

I'm excited for Yelich too!!!!!

 

[Tron]

They brought a lefty in and he lined out to CF

His induction into the HOF is on hold

Puig is still going in first ballot, though

 

[MrMonkey]

Sorry to see this happen Saulty! Braves have had their share of injuries! That's was nasty!

 

[FairWarning]

The price for Peavy just went up.

Marlins pitching staff made history in the series vs the Rockies despite whatever it was that Kevin Slowey did in the 9th inning.

First team ever to allow 3 ER's or less in every game of a 4-game series at Coors.

you gonna let Puig get up to the same amount of games as Harper's 2012 season to make that comparison?

Puig might end up with 7.5 WAR

not that i'm a fan of Puig
