Feel free to post rumors about how in/how out the Cubs are on Fielder. Or whatever else you guys want to talk about. Carl and I are taking the weekend off.

You’re not alone… I’m here creepily liking all of your comments.
that, once again, didn’t nest correctly
Stupid Reds went out and got Mat Latos. They gave up a ton for him (including Volquez), but still. Now we have to face Latos 120 times a year.
BLAH.
and he will shut the cubs out every time. Yay
C’mon that’s only like 4 shut-outs per season, max.
More if the Cubs and Reds both make the playoffs..
Oh, that’s so cute!!
“Playoffs? Don’t talk about playoffs. Are you kidding me? Playoffs? I’m just hoping we can win a game, another game.”
Looks like Toronto came in with the high bid for Darvish.
That’s probably for the best anyway. Didn’t one of the former Cubs talk about how Yu’s fastball was arrow straight? If he doesn’t have any movement, he’s going to get shelled on this side of the pond.
When’s Woody getting signed?
It could be that they have no desire to SIGG Yu, but bid high to get the rights just to keep him away from the Yankeess or other contenders in their division.
Today’s Fielder rumor comes from Bruce Levine…and the Cubs are indeed negotiating with Fielder according to his 2 sources.
Tomorrow we’ll hear the opposite from someone else.
Cubs are reportedly interested in Anthony Rizzo. Interesting.
Rizzo was drafted by Theo in 2007 and went to the Padres in the Adrian Gonzales trade.
Also, Baseball America recently listed Rizzo as the number 1 Padres prospect.
2011 21 Tucson PCL AAA SDP G93 PA413 AB356 R64 H118 2B34 3B1 HR26 RBI101 SB7 CS6 BB43 K89 BA.331 OBP.404 SLG.652 OPS1.056
Pulled these minor leagues stats from Baseball-Reference. Rizzo is a first baseman, really had an outstanding season at AAA Tucson with a .331 BA, .404 OBP and .652 slugging percentage. He also played 49 games with the Pads last year and hit under .150 with a lot of strikeouts. He does take a lot of walks as one would expect with a Theo draft pick.
Anybody have any idea on the percentage of players who perform as poorly in their first major league season as Rizzo did that eventually had productive or even stellar careers? Or will the Cubs create an offensive desert on the infield corners with Stewart and Rizzo both hitting below the Mendoza line?
From MLBTR & Boston Globe baseball analyst Nick Cafardo:
Cafardo is skeptical that the Cubs are legit contenders for Prince Fielder, saying right now the team’s mindset is “let’s not spend until we’re ready to spend and right now we’re not ready to spend.”
I was JUST about to give you shit that the “Day” isn’t the “Weekend” so where were you???
Well played, my dear!! <3
