CascadeBeta posted:A co-worker of mine's son works in the same company as Bartman. Apparently he works from home and gets groceries delivered because he STILL gets harassed horrendously to this day. Hopefully that changes, because Jesus Christ the 2003 Cubs lost for so many bigger reasons than Bartman. I hope he gets sent first class to the victory parade but does not get mentioned or featured in any way. Just send him out to Chicago, maybe make sure he's not recognized in some way and just let him anonymously soak it all in.

Going 11-2 when you score any runs at all in the postseason is a pretty good record If you extend it out to the NLDS their run differenial was +38 (68-30) in their 11 wins and -20 (7-27) runs in their 6 losses, they were absolutely a feast or famine team

I hope Vogelbach hits a ton of dingers for Seattle but you were one beefy lad too many and you were sacrificed so we could have the guy who closed out the World Series No matter what happens after this the Cubs got value out of that trade Virigoth posted:I"m hoping the Professor gets paid handsomely this offseason since he was on a 1-yr contract. Hendricks is under team control until 2020 and isn't even arb eligible until 2018 but I could absolutely see a pay raise for him The only Cubs who are/could be FA after this year are: Joe Smith Dexter Fowler (5M mutual option that the Cubs agreed not to pick up as a condition of signing him for 8M) Aroldis Chapman Jason Hammel (10M team option/2M buyout) Travis Wood David Ross (Retiring) Chris Coghlan Trevor Cahill I'm not sure any of them are getting QOs since they set the amount at 17.2 million/1 year, you can't QO Chapman and the FO told Dex they wouldn't QO him two years in a row.

Atomizer posted:The Red Sox gave out like 500 rings; it wouldn't surprise me if the Cubs gave out a whole lot more. Aside from retired Cubs, I'm hoping that the guys who participated this season (but where traded) got them as well: Clayton Richard, Warren, and especially Joe Nathan, the latter of whom decided to rehab from his second TJS to try to pursue that elusive championship at the end of his career. For 2004 at least, the Red Sox gave rings to everyone who was on the roster that year, including Brandon Puffer, a relief pitcher who was a one-game September callup who never actually appeared or threw a pitch for the team. He ended up spending a few years in jail for burglary and intent to commit sexual assault. Somebody tried to sell it on Pawn Stars a few years back but they wouldn't take it considering his reputation. If I had to guess I would assume at least everyone who was called up to the team will get a ring, possibly everyone on the 40-man, and then a scaled-down version of the ring for front office staff, maybe Wrigley workers, people like that.

ChiTownEddie posted:N: Dexter Fowler declines 2017 option. Everyone knew that mutual option was put there to make sure Dex got 13 million for this year, it was never ever ever going to be picked up. As much as I think he likes Chicago I also think he likes to get large sums of money and I think a team on the fringe with a CF/leadoff need will probably overpay for a 4-6 year deal that the Cubs won't be willing to match. If everything rumored is true the Cubs will also not put a QO on him.

The way Fowler has played (a full 1.4 WAR above any other year) you have to think he'll be demanding a contract that pays him through his age 35 or 36 season for I would assume an AAV above what he got this year so you're probably going to need a contract along the lines of 5/95 or 6/110 at minimum and that also assumes he doesn't try for Heyward or Cespedes money and look for 20M+ AAV. As far as the 2017 rotation, I already assume Arrieta is gone. As long as he doesn't tryhard himself into some injury and is at least at ~4 WAR form with similar postseason success thanks to salary inflation we could be looking at the first 40M AAV contract going to Jake since I don't really see any other true aces on the market for the post-2017 offseason. That may be a reason to open the wallet for him since the TV money/new channel or whatever will be right around the corner and the plaza across the street should be finished by then for more revenue, but I forsee the 2018-2021 Cubs being a team that will lean a lot harder on their bats and their positional defense versus having multiple dominant starters. I think if the Cubs pay for a closer this year it'll be either Chapman or Melancon since neither can get a QO. Give Hammel 10M for the year and see if he has anything left, ride Lackey into the sunset and maybe try to resign Cahill cheap again and see if you can stretch him and Zastryzny out into capable #4 and #5 starters for the future.

You can't count all that money coming off this year because you have to assume that Grimm, Rondon, Strop and Jake will all get raises in arbitration and Szczur, Montgomery, Baez, Schwarber, Russell, La Stella, Hendricks and Bryant are all pre-arb and a few of those will probably also get a pay bump. I suppose in an ideal world you give Fowler 5/100 or thereabouts and guarantee him through the end of the 2021 season when the team probably blows up since everyone on the 25-man not named Almora, Contreras or Heyward is entering free agency but I do think decisions need to be made about whether or not you start trading pieces because there is going to be a huge logjam in the dugout. Assuming the Cubs carry 12 pitchers, who gets left out? Contreras (2 options) Montero (Can refuse options) Baez (2 options) Bryant (3 options) La Stella (2 options, but are you trying your luck with that again? Also he's essentially untradeable) Rizzo (Can refuse options) Russell (3 options) Zobrist (Can refuse options) Almora Jr (2 options) Heyward (Can refuse options) Soler (1 option) Szczur (0 options) Schwarber (2 options) That's 13 position players so you're fine if you don't bring back Coghlan or Fowler - but if you do you've got to send 1 or 2 of the above to Iowa in their place. This also assumes other 40-man talents like Mune, Candelario, Villanueva and Federowicz don't edge out anyone currently on the 25-man. If Fowler's back I guess Almora heads to Iowa, but given how he was used in the postseason I have a feeling Soler is being looked at as winter meetings trade bait for some kind of cost controlled pitching or as part of a package deal. As far as the pitching goes - assuming Hammel is bought out(but I think they take him for 10M) : Lester (Can refuse options) Hendricks (3 options) Arrieta (Can refuse options) Lackey (Can refuse options) Montgomery (0 options) Edwards (1 option) Grimm (Can refuse options) Rondon (0 options) Strop (0 options) ------------------------WS 25-man ends here Zastryzny (3 options) Patton (1 option) Pena (3 options) Beeler (1 option) Brooks (1 option) Buchanan (1 option, can refuse an outright) Concepcion (1 option) Mullee (2 options) Patton (1 option) Pena (1 option) Rosscup (1 option, must clear waivers) Acevedo (3 options) Johnson (2 options) CubsWoo fucked around with this message at 07:55 on Nov 4, 2016 |

Also why does it feel like Rich Hill is the best starter of this free agent class and how much is he going to get paid for an age 37 season where his 110 innings of work this year was his second largest workload in his 12 year career and I don't know if you would pencil him in for more than that. Beyond Hill you maybe have Cashner as a reclamation project and Hellickson who is good but the Phils are almost guaranteed to slap a QO on him. Maybe Nova too?

Theo at this point could walk into Cooperstown and demand they build him his plaque and place it in the newly created Epstein wing while he sits on a lawn chair, downs tall boys and wings the empties at anyone nearby, he'll have a job as long as he wants one and even if he doesn't any desperate team would pay him handsomely to just be on the payroll as if his presence alone will influence World Series trophies to be attracted to their team
