2015 Cubs Offseason: Building a Winner Around David Ross

[World's #1 Astros Fan]

I wish we had the slogger where Eli was a little mortified when I saw it for the first time.

Ha. I was indeed. I think you had picked up on the "time to post" thing at some point, but it was a few weeks until you found out there was an actual flowchart. And I felt some brief guilt about you being offended, since I live constant, crippling fear of someone being mad at me. Fortunately, you can take a joke.

a) It would take an awful lot to offend me.

b) If I dished it out and couldn't take it, I'm pretty sure I'd get piled on pretty heavily. And I'd deserve it.

It's a shame the link is broken on the flowchart.

It's a goddamn outrage is what it is.

I know last night was a meaningless exhibition game, but it would sure be nice to see Grimm offer that level of filth on a regular basis.

Good to see the inspiration for this thread title, and arguably the most valuable player on the team, getting some national recognition.

Speaking of this thread, thank fucking Christ there's less than 80 hours left until we get this sumbitch started.

Math is dumb.

The Braves can fuck right off with their Soler for Miller talk, by God.

If the Cubs decide to move Soler, it's going to be for a fuckload more than Miller.

Miller's worth maybe Coghlan/Wood and a warm body from the system, or two mid-level prospects.

So I mean maybe Fork wasn't that wrong

I thought he was overpriced this winter, but I figured he'd at least provide Kyle Hendricks-level competence. I'm positiving the shit out of the assreaming The Genius took on this one.

I'm pretty sure Fork wasn't alone in that opinion.

I mean we all thought Arizona overpaid for Shelby Miller, I was making a joke about Fork deeming Miller's trade value to be "Chris Coghlan and Travis Wood" and how we rightly made fun of him for it before Miller got traded for a king's ransom.

I still wish I could have heard the phone call where the Barves wanted Kris Bryant for Miller.

Coppolella: We want Bryant for Miller.
Theo: Everyone asks for Bryant, but we're not trading him.
Coppolella: OK.
Theo: This negotiation is proceeding well.
