Vince44 202 Posted January 24, 2016 I was really hoping that Cespedes would go anywhere except back to the Mets. The pitching staff they have doesn't need a lot of run support, but they certainly need some run support, and he was the difference maker for that offense once they traded for him. I am still think the Cubs won the offseason with Heyward, Zobrist, and Lackey. They got exactly what they needed and filled the remaining holes from last season. Arrieta, Lester, Lackey, and Hendricks is a solid 1-4 in the rotation. Heyward and Zobrist joining a lineup with Rizzo, Bryant, Soler, and Schwarber will give them the best offense in the NL.

Mungwater 588 Posted January 26, 2016 Cubs clearly won the offseason, but I'm a little weary of theos history with FA. Also, I know that Jed is the GM, but you get my point.

Not being a , but during the 90's, wasn't the regular season no big deal for a Braves fan? I'm a Yankees fan, but it always seemed that there was someone breathing down their neck in the 90's. Maybe not 98, but every other year. I'm kind of glad it was that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I have to wonder - do I really want a guy who was so brilliant to turn down a $107m deal, to then sign for $8m on my team? Head case. Use to be a great hitter until he got enamored with homeruns, then the strikeouts went way up, average and homeruns went down. And it affected his play at shortstop, which was GG worthy. Perhaps a change of scenery and position will do him good. But honestly, leaving 100M on the table might ruin you for life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Desmond has a home in Left for sure.I'm buying him as the number one overall ss next year. their is an 11ft decrease in right from the nationals home park to the Rangers. he hit 19 Homers last year in a down year. In the band box in hot weather I'll take the over at 25 Homers. he might still hit .240 but he's gonna crush. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just wait until Texas has the tie run on 3rd with one out in the 9th and he swings at three balls at his eyes, when all they need is a sac fly or a ground ball. Not a team player. But yeah they'll get the solo homer in the 2nd inning. You could say I am down on the guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
