Gonfalon Cubs: Status of the Roster mid-DecemberFigured it was a good time for a new thread, but it’s also time to take a step back and look at how things stand for the Cubs right now. The Cubs still have some moves to make, though they could field a 25 man roster today if they absolutely had to. Catchers I haven’t seen many rumors linking the Cubs to any backup catcher FAs as of yet. Obviously, Caratini is an option, but as we’ve gone over before it would appear the Cubs are enamoured/comfortable with his defense ... Read More...Moses Taylor, aka Hambone Fakenameington

Related News: Hall of Merit: Mock Hall of Fame Ballot 2018IMPORTANT: Please read: This election should follow BBWAA rules, not Hall of Merit rules. However, we hope to see only players that each voter feels belong on their ballots. Leaving 1st-year candidates off your ballot is also frowned upon. IOW, we would like to see an absence of some of the silliness that permeates Hall of Fame voting by the writers. The election will end Friday on December 22, 2017 (1 PM EST). Results will be posted a short time later. Please don’t post any vote tallies ...

I’ve updated the totals every year since then. You compute Loser Scores in this fashion: 1. A team that has a losing season adds to its Loser Score the total of games under .500, plus the number of consecutive seasons that the team has been under .500. Sox Therapy: A Container of Milk, A Loaf of Bread and a Dude Who Can Hit Home RunsDave Dombrowski heads to Orlando for the winter meetings with a bit of a shopping list. Despite a fairly set roster (see see vi’s previous post) the Sox’ de facto GM (this title inflation around the league is annoying) has some work to do. 1. D’oh! D’oh! D’oh! - Yup, we need Homers (see what I did there? Top notch stuff at Sox Therapy). The market may have gotten a bit more challenging with the Yankees acquisition of Stanton. I think the Yanks were only interested because Stanton ... Read More...Jose is an Absurd Doubles Machine
