Fill out the 3rd FA acquisition.

I'm sorry, I thought the game was called baseball. Not hitball. The goal is to get on base and score runs. Batting Average only tells you how often a player gets a hit. There's more to baseball than just hits. Plus, it doesn't tell you anything about the hits. A player who hits 3 singles every 10 times, it just as good as a player who hits 3 HRs every time times.

Also, 2010. He didn't hit under .230 then.


Negative. Geo had a .385 wOBA, Posey had a .368. Geo had a wRC+ of 135, while Posey's was 129. Geo's ISO was also 17 points higher than Posey's at .217. Soto's OPS was also .890, while Posey's was .862.

Soto > Posey

I love you yap sample size to me when judging Ramirez's postseason failures, yet Soto has 100 less plate appearances than Posey.

Geo over Posey now? CO what do you smoke?

Which is why I didn't use counting stats. It's not Geo's fault that Lou Pinella played Koyie Hill more than Geo.

I never said Soto is better, I said Geo had a better year in 2010, which he did.

Every stat is a counting stat! Every stat is based off an actual plate appearance.

Soto had a 100 less because of injury.

You just said Soto>Posey in 2010.

That means you just said he's better than Posey

Every stat is a counting stat? So explain to me OBP. Or SLG. Or OPS. Or, for that matter BA.

Soto was better than Posey in 2010, that doesn't mean that Soto is a better player or that I would rather have Soto. It means that Soto outperformed Posey. Just because Soriano was better than Carl Crawford this year, does that mean that Soriano is better or that I would rather have Soriano? No.

Molina option will be picked up by STL...so he wont be option....

Honestly i go after only 2 FA hard

Fielder 27 y/o 1B

Edwin Jackson 27 y/o SP


Then i would resign A-Ram cause Fielder will need protection. So basically 3 FA

Then NEXT year i go after 2 STUD SP in FA named Hamels and Cain

So in 2013

Hamels
Cain
Garza
Jackson
Cashner

All be under 30 y/o :fap:

No way in hell the Cubs could afford both Cain and Hamels. I also really doubt that either will leave the team they're currently with.

It's more of a pipe dream than anything. He can dream.

If I could see either of those two pitchers on the Cubs, I'd be ecstatic, especially if that one ended up being Hamels.

For sure. I'd take Hamels any day.
