2016 MLB thread. THE CUBS HAVE BROKEN THE CURSE! Chicago Cubs are your 2016 World Series champions

You said they'd win last year too, though. That staff doesn't worry me, especially since Darvish doesn't pitch against Oakland well (If memory serves right) and Garza is likely gone.

 

[N41D]

Garza being gone is a blessing. He sucks.

Darkish, Holland, Perez, healthy Harrison is good enough to win the West.

 

[champcruthik]

they might win the West...but not much more than that

I'm about that JBJ, X, Middlebrooks life.

1-6 with a 4.30 ERA in two years. 51 SO/23 BB.

Linked to Twins. They'll give him the money per he's requesting but not the years. That's the hold-up. Minny revamping their entire rotation with Hughes, Pelfrey, Nolasco. Pitcher friendly second to Oakland.

Last I heard about Garza was teams being concerned about his elbow.

Dirk, are they sticking Feliz in the pen?

Twins still ain't ****.

JPZ and 651 never get upset when I bash them, only nnarum used to

You gonna be mad when Meyer, Buxton, and Sano thrive.

 

[champcruthik]

Feliz is back in the bullpen. Eye on closing. Competing with Soria and Scheppers. Scheppers may be better off as a setup man as we witnessed setting the table for Nathan.

[N41D]

Feliz will have a chance to beat out Soria for the closer job..

 

[proshares]

I got nothing against those fools, I just always mess with the Twins I'd be happy if all 3 worked out. Knowing the Twins, they'll do something to screw Meyer up

That's good for Feliz. I think those three can be a nice 7-8-9.

 

[N41D]

Ownership needs to out their nuts on the chopping block and go get Tanaka.

Push Ogando to the bullpen and go Alexi/Felix/Scheppers/Soria on the back end with Robbie Ross, Neal Cotts and Jason Frasor.

Balls of steel if Daniels splurges like that to pair with Tanaka. Takes fortitude to outbid the Cubs, Yanks, Mariners, and Dodgers.

I like the sound of Ogando, Soria, Scheppers, and Feliz. I think Neftali can reclaim his 2010 and 2011 form.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

No, Rangers need to stay right where they are.

You wish the same was true of Brett Hundley.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

I'll be proven right on both.

 

[champcruthik]

We'll see. I need my dude Devin Fuller to flourish.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

You mean at QB? Because Woulard is next in line at QB, not Devin.

Man you better get that idea outta your head

You both won't get Tanaka.

As a receiver. I want to see him used like McCluster, Percy, Tavon.

 

[proshares]

Gimme some lotto numbers then chief I could use it!

 

[champcruthik]

Pro getting hurt feelings because the proud Yanks are about to march out Nuno and Phelps in a star studded rotation.

 

[madj55]

Hoping my dude Rickie Weeks has a bounce back year. He's been awful lately :x

no one is hurt here bud. Who do you think he ends up with if not NY or Texas? You still think LA or is it the Cubs?

 

[champcruthik]

I was teasing, Pro. I don't think Texas because of what Daniels said after signing Choo. Rangers are finished with major moves. Prince and Choo completed their signature action.

Yankees have a chance but must outbid Cubs which is possible. However, I think the real serious competitors are Dodgers and Mariners.

 

[651akathepaul]

The Mariners.

 

[champcruthik]

Jerry Crasnick is trying to convince us Arizona is a contender for Tanaka.

Saw Rocco Baldelli's name today on mlbtraderumors for the first time in years
