I propose a one year tweak to keepers. Since this is a half assed season which might not even go all the way how about our keepers for 2021 only move up one round instead of two?

I would vote for this.

If anyone is interested, I still have either Albies (9th round) or Keston Huira (13th round - FA) available for a tarde!

They are available only in the afternoon?

Well, they certainly don't tend to play many morning games.

Do we have enough guys coming back?  Is there a plan? I have someone who might be interested if we have a spot.

I guess this place really is dead.

No posts/commentary on Ross as manager?

The inexperience doesn't worry me. I just want the Cubs to utilize every possible advantage, especially advanced statistics, and I have zero idea as to whether or not Ross will do that. However, I trust the front office, so long as they aren't signing free agents to massive contracts, since most of those have been kind of busty.

Wait, are the Cubs signing those two models who whipped their tits out the other night?

1. Hopefully.
2. I kind of feel the idea of communicating the analytics to the players probably came up in the interview.

Bryant needed tonight to have an outside shot at 30 HR (he should be hitting 35-40).  Rizzo is regressing (not much, but it's still noticeable).  Schwarber remains an AL platoon DH. 

Bryant was on his way to 35-40 HR before he started having knee problems. Rizzo's "regressing" to the tune of 286/400/511, his highest OPS since 2016. And Schwarber's perfectly fine as a LF - if he were in the AL he'd still be wearing a glove.

Engaging in this idiocy is pure folly.  There is a lot to criticize this team over...Bryant, Rizzo, and Schwarber about the bottom 3 on that list.

Also, the bare cupboard just graduated another 1st round pick to the majors.

Also, someone remind which number is bigger: Cubs World Series championships since Theo took over or number of WS championships combined for the Yankees, Dodgers, and Astros.

The "graduated first round pick" is Nico Hoerner, who had an impressive three hit first game.  Of course, unless your name is Adam Greenberg, one game does not make a career.  The Cubs are barely clinging to the possibility of post season play.  Don't worry, I am not going to say that "anything can happen in a short series".  Oh, wait, I just said that, didn't I?

This is a Stanford thing, is it not. Admit it, Stew!!

Seriously.  If he was from Cal, Stew would be putting him in the HoF already.

Is the "ch" in "Nicholas" pronounced like the "ch" in "Chanukah"?  Just asking for a friend,

It is now.

...I have been practicing law wrong all these years.  I read that Kim Kardashian is going to become a lawyer by apprenticing in a law office.  She says that she can do criminal law in her sleep.  And here I have been trying to stay awake in front of juries.  Who knew?

After all these years you're still practicing? Shouldn't you be good enough to actually be a lawyer by now?

IT'S SPRING!    Of course it won't really be Spring until the first pitch is thrown.  But technically, I made it to another season!  Oh frabjeous day!  Tulloo, tullay.

Yeah...this offseason has been too goddamn long.  Bring on the real baseball.

1. I set-up the draft for this Sunday at 7pm Chicago time. Let me know if this works.

2. Please post keepers here OR in the Yahoo board by end of day this Thursday 3/21 so I can make sure to have time to enter in everyone's keepers by Sunday

3. Let me know questions or issues

You set it for 8, sheesh

On the bright side, I was very impressed with how quickly we got the shit done.  In and out in under 45 minutes.

Please tell me that Zagurski's nickname is "Bronco".

I thought his nickname was "Fat Mike".

"Tiny"

So, we're back for 2019?
