Swingandalongonetoleft Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 It really does need to change. As insignificant as it may seem, it's a layup for Ricketts that he's overlooking at a time when he could use one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a dumb legend because that happened in 1945. That doesn't account for the 37 years prior to that. They haven't won since before they moved into Wrigley.

I think they also really like Yonder Alonso's ability to crush line drives into the gaps of their excessively large stadium. He is also extremely awful at left field, so he has to play first base.

Steve9347 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I don't get why the Padres don't just move the fences in already. No free agent will want to sign there, and no one will want to watch the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No free agent will want to sign there, and no one will want to watch the games. The Padres hands have been tied for a while now since the ownership situation was in flux. They stripped the payroll to bare bones and havent been able to do much at all. I bet we start to see some changes when the owners are established.

Soxfest Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 According to USA Today's Bob Nightengale, the Cubs are telling teams that "nearly everyone but starter Jeff Samardzija is available." Some names on that list you've heard before: Matt Garza, Ryan Dempster, Carlos Marmol and Alfonso Soriano, amongst others. Apparently club president Theo Epstein is open to moving Starlin Castro as well. Castro "can be obtained for two impact prospects," according to Nightengale. Bryan LaHair could provide pop for a contender. Trading him would open the door for top prospect Anthony Rizzo. Epstein has never shown an aversion for taking risks, so this situation warrants monitoring. On August 1, Chicago's roster may look nothing like it does today.
