With everyone leaving the NL it might make no difference what Theo does since it will be an AL 4-0 win in the WS for a few years

In a short series, anything can happen, but the AL is always the favored league.

Cool because that's what people say a lot. The Giants and Cards say hello.

Anything is possible. Why the game is played.

I love that Kaplan was the first one to try to "break" the story. And he was wrong.

:rolleyes: Its scott boras, every MLB team is his *****. He will never be a "*****" for the cubs. jesus christ kid.

Just because it's the Cubs? Forget that it's Theo Epstein. Theo is too smart to be taken advantage of in these situations. I think we are clearly seeing that. Boras has never really made Theo his ***** except with the Dice-K deal, which was more of just the international market.

your point? I mean theo got taken on carl crawford, so he isnt unstoppable. If it is boras vs theo, I will take boras everytime. theo isnt this god that you make him out to be, you seem to believe theo will get prince a lot cheaper for less years because its theo. giant homer.

I actually think Theo would sooner let Fielder go somewhere else than to acquiesce to Boras' demands. If the market collapses, though, I think the Cubs might still be able to offer the highest annual salary.

Yeah there's a very small chance that he comes here.. it would have to be very close to being on the Cubs terms.. The only way that happens is if the market completely runs its course.

I honestly can see him going back to Milwaukee more than coming here.

I'd be impressed if the Brewers had that kind of money to play with. They got screwed by K-Rod accepting arbitration and they had to heavily backload Aramis' contract. But I wouldn't rule anything out. They did offer Fielder five years and about $100MM so maybe they have that money earmarked still.

A player collapse is different than being flat out beaten by an agent. I'm sorry that Theo isn't KW. That doesn't mean that he sucks. Leave.

Yeah. The 1987 Twins and the 2006 Cardinals are examples of teams who probably had no business being in the postseason but won it all anyway. The best team doesn't win all the time. That's part of the randomness inherent to baseball.

2011 Cardinals too... they got lucky that the team ahead of them was a major chokejob. They did get hot at the right time though, and having to come back from that deficit is part of the reason they went that far IMO.
