Lets go Cubs… I like Raley’s last outing, just no run support.
Wow: only one Rox player (CarGo) is on any team in either of my Fantasy Leagues! At least the Cubs have Castro and Rizzo in both leagues! (Sori just got dropped from one and he never was taken in the other.)
Anyone know what Raley is projected to be in the Cubs’ rotation? #3 starter or is he more of a backend starter?
Realistically, he’s probably a middle reliever.
Yep….Kevin Goldstein was asked that on twitter a few weeks ago and he said he is more of an up and down guy…..Cubs truly need one of these guys to exceed expectations and turn into a real option for back of rotation…..on another note I am just shocked the RedSox got so lucky and were able to hit the reset button….gives me faith that maybe someone will snag Soriano and more money off the deal than I thought before next season
agreed – I think he could blossom into a poor-man’s sean marshall considering raley throws the kitchen sink at you. I like him better than Russell, not as much as marshall. But hey, at least he looks MLB caliber in some capacity.
Agreed. Could be effective as a reliever, only.
way to go Bjax!!………you can see in his at-bats he’s getting smarter and looking for pitches and staring to turn on them……….there’s a some clue there. if he can end up around .230-235 that’s good to work towards next year
vitters……….way lost. more AAA i think.
absolute great decision to double steal with mather! brilliant dumbass!
So uh are you mad?
not really, i expect stupidity with the cubs
So uh are you 12?
not 12 and really dont give a shit what you think regardless. its the truth, cubs play stupid baseball, deal with it.
Easy, man. My comment was a reply to Carew, not to you. Though, I must say, your hostility is sorely tempting me to ask if you are mad.
my apologies to you BF, could not tell who you were referring to. my bad and yes i am mad.
Nope, just bored and immature
