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

[johnnyredstorm]

The Jays have three pitchers who have each pitched 35+ innings this season. Best earned-run average of that group comes from R.A. Dickey, who holds a 5.00 ERA. Mark Buehrle (5.54 ERA) and Drew Hutchison (6.69 ERA) have sputtered as well.

So guys, some of you killed me for saying Russell Martin was a waste of money, am I still wrong?

Still too early to tell.

all honesty the issue is, you've got 2 old men in there as your 1 and 2 when they're 4 and 5s and your youngsters just can't figure out their control. sanchez and norris need to get on track for the jays to do well.

speculation the Rockies will finally move Tulo and are willing to pick up some of the money. I'd offer Montero, Ynoa and Flores/Cechinni for him. Maybe a ptbnl. but nothing more than that.

Boras :x, the man

 

[johnnyredstorm]

cool read. Boras seems like he's selling snake oil most of the time though, but he's doing something innovative that makes sense.

Beane may as well blow up that team again. Fully expect Kazmir, Zobrist and even Butler to be traded at the deadline.

Also true.

Has Zobrist even played yet?

 

[johnnyredstorm]

feel like he played a week before he got hurt. but he should be back by mid june.

Sonny Gray is the only bright spot for the A's this year.

Sonny Gray is the only bright spot for the A's this year.

Yeah, he's been dealin'. Another great start today. Hopefully they can get him a few runs here.

Reddick has been good as well.

He has but I wouldn't be shocked if Beene traded him

Was going to post an article in here yesterday about how Ellsbury & Gardner batting 1-2 has impacted the Yankees offense. But it's BR and I see it's banned in here.

So if you want to read it. It's in the Yankee thread

Semien has 12 of them by himself. 

Not to be outdone, Desmond picked up a couple more today to bring his season total to 11.
