You don't move a gold glove CFer in the prime of his career. I don't think moving him to LF or RF would help/preserve his career either.

Believe it or not, I miss SS2K5. Hope he is well.

I always argued for a second generation rebuild. Trading off Eloy, moncada, kopech, etc. the future "stars" we got in the first generation of the rebuild. Before they were really known commodities. Imagine how stacked the farm would have been. We'd be in good shape now if that was the case.

That's the thing. It would have to be one of the greatest packages ever for a single player. It would definitely require some young ML talent, not only minor Leaguers.

Way too early to say that. The dude is only 21 and already in the majors.

Screw it. Trade Robert if a good enough package comes through.

"Useful" may be a stretch

Man, f*** the new rule about not being able to get above the #10 pick.

I always thought Bummer was a perfect fit for the Cubs with how solid their middle infield defense is.

I thought she swam at Kentucky?

LOL I forgot how often he brought that up. I was wondering why people kept joking about Nicky Lopez.

@caulfield12

Remember how Hawk was one of the first to imply that Brooks Boyer was a problem? And most of us just thought it was Hawk being a cooky old man?

Exactly. He was an intern for B&B. He is obviously The Score's guy. I don't see this massive gap between Monaco and Benetti when it comes to calling baseball.

Bernstein and Holmes fucking suck. I think Benetti is good, but is talent is so over exaggerated on the Score. I hate to sound like a dick, but I think he has become overrated because of the obstacles he has overcome. It's incredible what he has done and he is an inspiration, but I don't think he is an otherworldly announcer.

Lmao come on. That's just ridiculous. His lowest fWAR the past 3 seasons was 3.7, which was last season. Somehow he has zero trade value now?

Stacey King?

Do you have any inkling or thought that Jerry could be potentially ready to sell the team? I've read a few people predict that. I assume nobody really knows yet though.

Feel free to vote for who you WANT or who you think will be the replacement. I know those are different questions, but who cares. Are there any obvious candidates I missed? Kasper is staying on the radio I know. Gordon is a color guy. Those aren't realistic candidates.

Julie DiCaro filled in as an announcer?

Let's not go that far. If Julie DiCaro becomes the announcer, I'm becoming a Cubs fan.

@tray 's schtick is playing the contrarian view EVERY single time. I mean the guy defends Reinsdorf whenever he can. It's lazy trolling if I say so myself.

Holmes is such a fucking dweeb. My favorite thing is how he constantly feels the need to overstate his athletic ability. I remember were talking about how Justin Steele's 4-seamer has so much cut, that it tricks fangraphs into thinking that he is actually throwing a cutter. Larry chimed in and said he understands, because his fastball has a lot of cut as well.

LOL I know there is some joking/trollage in this post, but bringing Hawk back would be hysterical.
