In honor of the Cubs' season commencing with a home run by Awful, Awful Soriano, I thought this would be a good time to start a thread for the ongoing "FYC"s we can contribute throughout the season...
FYC!
Chuck's favorite big contract Big Tex went 0-4 yesterday.
BH FYC FAIL.
FYC!
FYC!
FYC!
Two games in, and _already_ two awful, awful selfish solo homers.
Chuck: F You.

Where's the DOOOM thread? I don't feel like looking for it. But they lost, so it's just a matter of time before somebody freaks out.

To be fair--Soriano was a +0 after his bad misplay yesterday and allowing Hall to take 3rd and then score tonight (+2 from the 2 solo shots, and -2 from those plays).
But he's back in the +, and in a big way--so FYC: Soriano +2.

I would like to add an FYK.
Did you buncha screamin' gheys notice who Cleveland removed from the gheym for defensive purposes just in time for their defense to piss it all away? Fuck DeRosa and his VERSATILITY AND LEADERSHIP. D. Lee leads this team and he always has.
I'm gonna start this post off Weebs-style and tell you guys I WAS AT THE GAME. That was a helluva fun comeback to watch. Made all the sweeter by the fact that if Wood would have closed it out, he would have got the save and Herosa the GW RBI.
Thank jebus we didn't have to hear the public gnashing of teeth about GETTING BEAT BY TEH ONEZ WHO GOTS AWAY!!!
Also, Andy White is a defensive marvel and has been hitting some line drives to boot.
If the Cubs decide to stick with Andy White (and obviously that only happens if he can hit anything) they need to swap him and Theriot. Our man Andy is a marvel at second, but he's the truth at shortstop. His bat would "play" a lot better at short than second.

I don't think he can hit anything though.

Please Atheismo, Just let the Cubs play the Nationals every day.
I'd heard tell that the Nats were bad, but I had no idea just how terrible it was possible for a "Major League" baseball team to be. The Cubs have put some shitty teams on the field down the years but this is a whole new level. They need to sack every man jack, top to bottom, and start again because nothing good will ever come of what they have there now.
The highlight of the weekend had to be Bard (who makes Berut look like Hank White, defensively) trying to tag Hart out at the plate by deflecting the ball into right field off his mask.
A truly, historically bad ball club. Thanks for the kick-start, boys.
EDIT : They'll still beat the Mets.
Whatever, Sam Fuld could have done that.

Please Atheismo, Just let the Cubs play the Nationals every day.
I'd heard tell that the Nats were bad, but I had no idea just how terrible it was possible for a "Major League" baseball team to be. The Cubs have put some shitty teams on the field down the years but this is a whole new level. They need to sack every man jack, top to bottom, and start again because nothing good will ever come of what they have there now.
The highlight of the weekend had to be Bard (who makes Berut look like Hank White, defensively) trying to tag Hart out at the plate by deflecting the ball into right field off his mask.
A truly, historically bad ball club. Thanks for the kick-start, boys.
EDIT : They'll still beat the Mets.
I don't know if his performance was exceptional for him, but Nyjer Morgan was outstanding leading off against the Cubs.

I'm sure you'd like to think it was an isolated incident so you can go back to reveling in his failure, but he was heating up before the break, against St. Louis and Atlanta. And even against the Nats, he homered off Zimmermann, who's a pretty good pitcher.

Oh, it may not be "isolated" as his track record with the Cubs is "2 weeks hot, 3 weeks cold," but he needs to do it against the Phillies before this can be called one of his patented hot streaks and not "blind squirrel finds Nats."

I think I've been remarkably silent on Soriano this year.
I suppose I'm emulating Soriano's bat.
So if I understand this right:
All Phillies Pitchers= Good, and worthy of our respect.
All Nationals Pitchers= Bad, and easily dismissed.
I can't wait until he homers off of some asshole like Chan Ho Park and Chuck scoffs, because he sucks anyway.
As we all know no good pitchers (http://www.baseball-reference.com/awards/awards_2004.shtml#NLcya) ever played on historically bad teams (http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/ARI/2004.shtml), at least not recently.

Randy got ridiculously screwed that year.
Even the 14 D-Backs fans were all up in arms.
The D-Backs scored 2 runs or fewer in 17 of his 35 starts.

The best (only?) entertainment you provide is when I have to play the game where I guess if you're being serious or not.
The thing I hate most about this Chuck/Sori business is that Chuck will eventually be right. Soriano will be making like 20 million dollars in 2012 and by then he will probably be practically useless. And everybody will be saying exactly what Chuck has been saying for three years now and he'll feel really cool and confident and be even more insufferable than he he already is. At that point, I'll probably hate Soriano, Chuck, the Cubs, all Cubs fans, the city of Chicago, the United States and beer. I'll just put a gun in my mouth. Fuck it. Why wait?

You can rest easy knowing that Chuck is dead. Or, at least we can keep screaming that ad nauseum until it comes true. And then we can all throw back it in Chuck's face. See Chuck? We

I don't agree. No one with half a brain has said that the Soriano
contract was a good one. It's basically retarded.
[Although, pre-recession, salaries were increasing at such a pace that
< 20 million in 2014 might not have been that much]
When the contract starts to smell in 2012 or 13 then he's not right
and we're wrong because we all knew it will be brutal in the end.
We're still going to be a lot happier with it than Zito's deal.
Chuck's only right if the first 4-5 years of the contract are a dud. So
far I think most of us, and stat fags (http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=847&position=2B/OF) would say if he turns
this year around and does decent than so far so good contract wise.

Chucky, or anybody –
Could you please explain to me why anybody in that clubhouse, or frontoffice, would want to keep that piece of crap on this team?
I can't Ernie. I have no explanation to give you. I went completely insane after he dropped that routine fly ball trying to hot dog it. The most pathetic part is that we're stuck with this shit-for-brains grinning idiot for about another 5 years. They won't just cut him, and team in their right mind will take him. Hendry has done an excellent job at completely fucking this team up. Fucking incompatant asshole GM.
And Yeti, by the way, the Cubs are DOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMED!!!!!!

He must have lost focus for a moment because he was thinking about how long his contract is.
(I mean, that's your beef with Soriano, right? The contract?)
A long contract to a bad player. Short contracts to bad players are manageable. I mean, Neifi Perez was tradeable. A Sor is not.
What reason will you have to follow the Cubs when Soriano and Hendry are gone?
Winning.
Yeah, they sure haven't been doing a lot of that with Soriano around in October.
You suck.

Unlike the much more acclaimed (and whiter and fluent English speaker) Robin Ventura, Soriano managed to touch every base, so as not to screw up the money line.

1-6 with 3ks and he got thrown out at first while standing in the batters box.

Soriano is only half the player Josh Willingham is (http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20090727&content_id=6090838&vkey=recap&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb).

You could show their full season OPS+ and that would nearly remain true (162 to 94).

He welcomed the boos he was getting and when LaTroy got tossed, him and Pence went to Bourn and were shooting the shit and the fellow drunks in the left center bleachers started chanting "Lose some weight" (For me, chanting that warrants a "Pot. Kettle") but after he figured out what we were saying, he turned to us and rubbed his stomach then motioned to his arm and flexed. It was rather entertaining, probably more so because I had been treated with free beer the whole night. So, yea. There's that.

You post too infrequently, C.Dick. You should post for me instead of me posting. TDubbs would love you for it. He might take you out to Murphy's and get you sloshed and distract the other three Chad's surrounding the lone Trixie with a game of cornhole to the death. Which he'd hopefully lose. Win-win-win-win-win.

Jon sends his regards to Chuck.
Namely: that Chuck may get fucked.
Also: I heartily concur.
Oh man, fucked twice before he knew what hit him. Up yours, Chuck.

If I were getting FYC'd more often, maybe this team would be, you know, good.
Fuck you for thinking Soriano and his .908 OPS is somehow not helping this team be good. And even though fielding stats aren't perfect, fagstats say he's been about average, just a little above it in the field. He's good this year. The team is inconsistent and shitty. Not his fault.

You sound like one of those crazy soccer haters.. Seriously, pull up anyone's numbers. You'll find nuances like that. I'm sure Pujols has numbers like that this year since he's been "average". Soriano's been pretty good. Even when he's been shitty in the last 19 games, he's been about Derrek Lee. The fact that this team sucks is in no way a reflection on Soriano's play.

Chuck just likes his .300 hitters to get a consistent 1.2 hits in 4 at-bats each game, 162 times a season. Is that too much to ask?

Looks like the Cubs found out that Marcos Mateo is just Bob Novoa reincarnate.
According to Len and Borb, Mark Matthew was puking his guts out in the clubhouse pre-game. He gave it a shot and gave up an infield hit and a bloop single that Kosuke kicked. So with second and third and nobody out, he K's two guys and gets two strikes on that bitch Fowler who broke it open with a double. After that the wheels came off. I'm sorry but I'm just not going to bitch about that effort. He got beat. It happens. But he showed some guts, threw some nice pitches and didn't walk a bunch of dudes like every other son of a bitch they trot out there.
You got a Twitter? Tweet Mark and tell him DoooomPex still has his back.
TheraFlu's a helluva drug. But it aint the best thing since sliced bread or nothing. One pitch away from it. We'll see those purple bastards back up here next weekend. They're the best team I've seen so far. And I've seen like 11 teams.

QuoteSoriano deserves an assist. Castro and Soriano stick to their pregame routine religiously and go to the batting cage together for sessions with hitting coach Rudy Jaramillo.
"That's the only way you can get better is working," Soriano said. "He's good, but if he doesn't work, he'll just stay good. He won't get better."
Maybe, just maybe, Felix Pie's wayward habits were all his own and had nothing to do with Soriano. Though, I do concede that this could be the other way around and Soriano's hot start may be partially attributed to a renewed focus gleaned from the Cubs' new team leader by example.
Probably none of the above has anything to do with shit except for Chuck needing to get fucked again.

QuoteSoriano deserves an assist. Castro and Soriano stick to their pregame routine religiously and go to the batting cage together for sessions with hitting coach Rudy Jaramillo.
"That's the only way you can get better is working," Soriano said. "He's good, but if he doesn't work, he'll just stay good. He won't get better."
Maybe, just maybe, Felix Pie's wayward habits were all his own and had nothing to do with Soriano. Though, I do concede that this could be the other way around and Soriano's hot start may be partially attributed to a renewed focus gleaned from the Cubs' new team leader by example.
Probably none of the above has anything to do with shit except for Chuck needing to get fucked again.
Or maybe, just maybe, Felix was an overrated prospect who never walked much in the minors and had troubel with big league breaking balls?
No one doubts that. But the alarm clock issues have to be attributed to someone. Whenever you overslept and missed class, didn't you blame your roommate?
No I blamed all of the hot random sluts that I was banging rather than being lame and having a long distance relationship with a girl that I got engaged to in college.

Same here. I had no need to blame the third-shift job I had to pay my rent while I took classes or the evil bitch I lived with and got engaged to that kept me up nights yelling and cursing and reliving the entire Vietnam war in our living room - and the fact that I decided to smoke a shit-ton of weed to deal with all the stress from all of the above.

I think this conversation belongs in another thread. I also think that when Wells and Cashner get back the Cubs are going to catch the clusterfuck of rancid teams in front of them and bump uglies with them for a few months. If that's not your idea of a good time, Fork has a bottle of something for you to try.

While I may be Bin Ladenish, Soriano's line isn't much better. Since Osama's grey matter met sunlight:
Soriano: .278/.333/.361 with 1 HR, 3 RBI, 14 K and 2 BB.
Osama has only 2 fewer walks.

Well, there are the Bears fans who think a team that lost in the NFC Championship was terrible, and the Bulls fans who want to blow up a team that made the conference finals and the Hawks fans who want to trade the guy that scored the Stanley Cup winning goal and...
I used to think that maybe the meatballs were just an extremely vocal minority of SPORTZ fans. I'm not so sure anymore.

There was the pie graph that said over 60 percent of Bulls fans thought their team was better off for not having signed LeBron James. But I think the best basketball minds among that fanbase don't have computers or internets.

Nice job chuck, people like you make chicago the WORST for slumping superstars. (http://www.suntimes.com/sports/baseball/cubs/6098830-573/cubs-alfonso-soriano-calls-chicago-fans-toughest-on-slumping-stars.html)
I'm trying to work up some good OUTRAGE over this, but he's right. Chicago SPORTZ fans are awful.
Give us hell, Sori!
We are worse than New York, who typically has winning teams. I think we just solved the riddle. If the cubs didn't suck, people wouldn't care about Soriano as much.
Well, there are the Bears fans who think a team that lost in the NFC Championship was terrible, and the Bulls fans who want to blow up a team that made the conference finals and the Hawks fans who want to trade the guy that scored the Stanley Cup winning goal and...
I used to think that maybe the meatballs were just an extremely vocal minority of SPORTZ fans. I'm not so sure anymore.
There was the pie graph that said over 60 percent of Bulls fans thought their team was better off for not having signed LeBron James. But I think the best basketball minds among that fanbase don't have computers or internets.
The results were skewed by Rick Telander who voted 10,000 times because he thinks that LeBron James is a robot who wants to steal our basketball jobs.
Chilling, really.

What's the over/under on FYS's this year?
Figure 25 homers plus about 10 other "key" hits all year, so 35?
Anyone who is watching these douchebags know how many "key" hits (or plays) we can give Soriano? I'm guessing 15.

Not to mention shortening up and hitting a ball through the left side to score the second run. Oh wait, I just mentioned it.

Hello, Karsten Whitson.
The guy who's always hurt?
I guess that sounds about right.
What's even more demoralizing is watching them suck, and also watching the few bright spots like Starlin Castro and Bryan LaHair start to fall back to earth. I know the latter is inevitable, but it makes it that much more deflating. I don't expect anything from the Cubs at all this year except I was really hoping to watch Castro and maybe Rizzo and Jackson develop later in the summer.

While I always held out some small Brett Jackson hope, that was tempered by remembering that Jim Hendry drafted him and oversaw his training.
The only guy in the organization that Theo/Jed have their plans built around is Anthony Rizzo. That he's performing at the level he's at while no one else is hasn't diluted my confidence in the new guys.

You mindless cretins. Even when Jackson put up a combined .869 OPS between Tennessee and Iowa last year, with an OBP over 100 points higher than his batting average, and was ranked the #32 prospect in baseball coming into this year, Chuck just....
knew that he'd be a bust. He just waited until now to tell all of us.
So Chuck, are you saying that because no one else in the minor league system has matched Rizzo's 15 HRs and 1.115 OPS, that they're all Hendstink failures?

Oh, I'm sure they were hopeful they could get lucky and find some useful pieces. Just maybe Ian Stewart doesn't suck. Or Volstad or Maholm. But I don't think they looked at any of these guys and saw, "Key player to World Series winner."
I doubt they have much long term use for anyone outside of Castro, Rizzo and Concepcion who are in AA or higher. The rest are trade bait or stopgaps. Samardzija will be an interesting case has he is under their control through 2015, but will get very expensive very quickly as he goes to arbitration this offseason.
I'm sure they hope guys like Jackson pan out. That would make their job easier. But I'd also bet they aren't counting on hardly anyone else. Hendry left the cupboard bare.
I wonder what they think of last year's draft class? At least they can train those guys in the "Cub Way."

You forgot Posey and whatever race Soto's ass (||) is.
The SF Chronicle predicts that because he showboated while rounding the bases in the ninth, Chuck's favorite player can expect to get plunked at some point during this series. What I don't understand is why every NL pitcher who is not wearing orange doesn't plant a pitch in the ample gut of Pablo Sandoval at least once a game.

Quote--LF Alfonso Soriano hit his ninth home run of the season, an opposite-field three-run shot to right field, in the first inning. It gave Soriano a homer in eight straight series. The Cubs hadn't had a player homer in eight straight series since Derrek Lee and Corey Patterson each did it in 2004
Also, he homered tonight.

I was going to make mention of his stats, but I knew Chuck would come through with the mention of his streakiness, or selectively grab a section of ABs within the section I chose, and point out how he still has been shitty.
For example, he has 30 hits in his last 102 ABs. Chuck would find a stretch in there he went 1-12. HE SUCKS.
Actually, my new favorite Cub might be Soriano right now. Despite Gil and Mr. I Married Some Big Ole Titties, I don't think he is an asshole. It's not his fault he got overpaid and old. So, Fuck Chuck, and vote Soriano into the 2012 All Star game.

Wha' happened?
QuoteThe Cubs threatened with two out in the sixth, but a breakdown by Alfonso Soriano helped end it.
With runners on first and second, Middlebrooks dropped his hard liner to third. Soriano never ran, though, and was thrown out at first.
A crowd that had seen lapses from him before let him have it on the way to the dugout and when he trotted back out to left field. There were more loud boos when he struck out in the eighth.
But the way Soriano sees it, he didn't deserve that kind of treatment. He said the boos were unfair and there really wasn't much he could do on that play.
''I think that they don't understand the game,'' Soriano said. ''It's a line drive, nothing you can do about it. If it's a ground ball and I don't run, they can do whatever they want. But a hard line drive right at the glove? I don't know what they want.''
While the fans made their feelings clear, so did the Cubs. Put simply, they had Soriano's back.
''It's one of those things where 100 percent every player in the history of baseball would do the same thing,'' manager Dale Sveum said. ''I did it a lot, a lot, of times.''
Soriano is a lightning rod for fans, though - fair or not.
''Sori takes a lot of heat for a lot of things,'' Samardzija said. ''Obviously, it is what it is. There's not one guy in that locker room that has anything bad to say about him.''

Fans are idiots. Roped line drives aren't the same as dropped popups or near-home runs that don't go out, which can cost you an extra base. Of course, maybe if Fonzie hadn't dogged near-home runs and dropped popups in the past, people would have let it go, but the fact is those are two totally different sort of plays.
My comment was in reference to the Chuck-like reaction by the fans.
(and none of it was helped by Fonzies 0 / 4 day)
And now I'm going to spend the rest of my Father's Day watching some killer soccer.

I will say that Soriano was worth every penny for the several weeks at a time he'd carry the Cubs in 2007 and 2008. At this point, he's a sunk cost. If he's not causing problems and if he can produce like this, it's counterproductive to trade him to a team that won't pay his salary nor part with valuable youngsters.

If only the whole damn team (including Soriano) not collapsed in October to render it moot but yeah, there was a time that that deal was perfectly acceptable. Of course, to a man, we all pretty much knew this before the 2007 season started--that the heft of the contract was going to be easier to stomach earlier than later. Pretty sure most everyone was uneasy with the last half half of the contract
at the time.Still, thanks to the DH--and Soriano's apparent offensive resurgence--he'll be gone this time next year and the team won't need to eat such a Zambrano-sized percentage of the remaining contract.
So in short, fuck you, Chuck.

Which is why I've come around to the "Keep Soriano" side. He's way, way in the black (racist) as far as his effect on this team. Unless someone takes on all ze moneys, forget it.

Is there a spinoff thread coming?
We previewed the FYO thread after the Olympics.
Anti-semite.
I'm more Jewish than you are.
Pope Benedict is more Jewish than Oleg.

Bumped for a walkoff RBI single capping a comeback from 6 runs down.

More to the point, Soriano is comfortably first on the Cubs with a WARP of 3.4 (Barney is second with 2.2). He's also played nearly a thousand innings in the field with 206 PO, 9 assists (already more than in 2009, 2010 or 2011) and precisely NOT ONE SINGLE FUCKING ERROR.
Seriously, Chuck. I think an apology is in order, don't you?

If Soriano drives in a 100 runs on a team with only one regular with an OBP above .320, would that in any way compare to Steve Carlton's 27 win season for a 59 win team? Just spitballin' here, but that strikes me as a pretty impressive accomplishment.

Yes, like most enlightened fans, I don't use RBI as meaningful barometer of an individual player's success--certainly when there are cleaner metrics to use which are more team-independent. However, it's still a statistic and in this context, it's a team-dependent statistic being used for a player on an otherwise godawful offensive team. And it's impressive, by any objective measure. Now go get your shinebox.

Fine. If you want to be impressed by a gaudy RBI total for a guy on a team that can't score runs, The Artist Formerly Known As Mike Stanton is smoking Adolfo, 7 RBI behind Sori on a team that's scored 7 more runs than the Cubs, and Stanton has 100 less PAs.

He'd be the third to do so
1. Nate Colbert
2 had 111 RBIs for the 1972 Padres and Tony Perez had 102 RBIs for the 1967 Reds. Colbert's season is more impressive, not just because he tallied an extra 9 ribbies (!), but because he knocked in 22.7% of all runs that the Fathers scored that year. The '67 Reds scored 604 runs, so Perez "only" accounted for 16.9% of their runs. Fonsie is sitting at 18.6% -- 88 RBIs out of the 472 runs the Cubbies (!) have scored
1. This assumes a "regular" is any member of the same team with at least 300 plate appearances.

This guy had a hell of a five year span from 1969 to 1973. What happened to him? He didn't hit for much of an average but the guy could flat out slug.
Also, bring back Jack Murphy Stadium.
EDIT: back problems ended his career at 30. That sucks. This guy would have been fun to watch on a shitty team.

Colbert's season is more impressive, not just because he tallied an extra 9 ribbies (!), but because he knocked in 22.7% of all runs that the Fathers scored that year. The '67 Reds scored 604 runs, so Perez "only" accounted for 16.9% of their runs. Fonsie is sitting at 18.6% -- 88 RBIs out of the 472 runs the Cubbies (!) have scored
1. This assumes a "regular" is any member of the same team with at least 300 plate appearances.
2. Who the fuck is Nate Colbert?3

Soriano two-run dinger to put the Cubs up 4-2 in the eighth. Moves to 28/94.

Soriano is awesome when they win 88-90+ games and when they lose 100. It's everything in between that makes him awful.

They need to play LaHair every day so it keeps going down, and then they'll only have 2 with OBP over .320, granted both Rizzo and DeJesus will probably wind up over .350.
Castro went 4 for 5 last night to reach .320 exactly.
Nonetheless, I want to hear Internet Chuck admit that 30/103 (and counting) on a shitty team, 12 assists, 6 DPs and one solitary error is anything but awful, awful. Come on, Internet Chuck. For me. You can do it.

Also, Chuck, that single off the wall went like a rocket and came back just as fast. He might have admired it for a fraction of a second but that was all. He could have turned it into a double but I've seen far more egregious examples of (deliberate or accidental) lollygagging. To wit: Castro not taking second when Sweeney was thrown out without a cut-off at the plate.
As usual, though, you've taken precisely the wrong example. In the last game against the Reds, Soriano stood and watched his homer for a good fifteen minutes before setting off at a stroll around the bases - despite the fact that it only landed a couple of rows back. THAT I had a problem with.

There's this good 13-year-old kid out there who likes baseball, who enjoys the Cubs, who enjoyed the Cubs' last three wins over the White Sox. He's taken abuse from the meth-addled Konerkophile eighth graders in Glenview over the years, but he's soldiered on. Today, he's thrilled about the Cubs' win. So, what's a proud father to do? Well, if you're Internet Chuck, there's only one answer:

I'm assuming, my Tonker's post[/] that he did something last night in an AL park also, but I really am not interested enough to check, just as Tonker could barely be troubled to FYC in the first place (and why I'm delinquent). It just reminded me that I was hanging onto my FYC since Saturday.
Too big for anal?
Time to PANKpost?
Nice use of the quotes,champ'd.
I'm gonna miss this thread.

I vote for Robinson Cano. It's win-win for us.
1. The Cubs don't sign him despite Chuck spending 3 years saying the Cubs were going to.
2. The Cubs, by some bizarre happenstance, do sign him. He immediately becomes the new Soriano, an overpaid, declining former Yankee that Chucks hates.
Now that I type it out, maybe 2 is what Chuck was hoping for all along.

Get so fucked, Chuck.
Fuck You Deep Chuck.
Chuck, you fuck.
Have an early inning Fuck You.

Throw in a late inning Fuck Charles.
Chuck, Fucked, In His Presence
Second half-opening FYC!
Chuck, you are cordially invited to engage in self-fornication.

OK, one last time
with feeling. But I don't see why Chuck couldn't/wouldn't/shouldn't continue getting directives to self-fornicate even with Fonzie hitting garbage-time home runs in a different color of pinstripe.
Fuck yourself, Chuck.
I'm just gonna toss out an FYC for posterity's sake.

Which Cub will Chuck hate now? Starlin Castro? Junior Lake? Travis Wood?
So long, A Sor. Thanks for the 43 pages of memories.

Yes.
Identify the two players listed (all numbers are from 2005 to 2013):

Player 1: Soriano
Player 2: Cano
Not really sure what this proves, though. Cano plays 2B -- a position where you're hard pressed to find 25 HR hitters so his offensive output is more valuable due to the greater opportunity cost. Left-fielders who hit 25 HRs/year practically do grow on trees. He's also 7 years younger. Not that I want to sign the guy...

Player 1... Fangraphs WAR: 26.1, B-R WAR: 15.4
Player 2... Fangraphs WAR: 42.5, B-R WAR: 35.0
The difference is mostly down to position.

Considering how Baez is starting to crucify Southern League pitching, I think the role of Expensive Second Baseman will be played by Starlin Castro soon enough.

I just think it's interesting that Chuck advocates for Cano so much, yet the offensive production (side by side) is pretty similar, even when Soriano was in his 30s. Yes, the positional difference is there, but does Cano play 2B when he's in his 30s and does he maintain offensive output, or does it regress to where Chuck would (if this signing actually happened) bitch about it?

Which Cub will Chuck hate now? Starlin Castro? Junior Lake? Travis Wood?
This is my bet, given some hints in the past.
Eli and ChuckD have a far better command of developing accurate algorithims to predict such nonsense, but doing a little regressive analysis and developing a proprietary formula, I have the list of who would have been the object of Internet Chuck's scorn for each Cubs season before 1993, when the World Wide Web was born.

QuoteCubs manager Dale Sveum was doing his pregame media briefing Sunday morning when he was interrupted by a roar, drowning out his thoughts.
Former Cubs outfielder Alfonso Soriano had just hit his first home run as a Yankee since returning to the Bronx on Friday, and his former teammates screamed and shouted as though they were sitting in the right-field bleachers at Yankee Stadium.
Starting pitcher Travis Wood was getting loosened up and heard the shouting.
"When I came out, I was like, 'What happened?' " Wood said.
Soriano is what happened, providing a clubhouse spark even while wearing Yankees pinstripes on the other coast.
"We were so happy we jumped out of our seats because we saw our boy hit a homer," Welington Castillo said.
That was all the players needed to psyche themselves up before a 2-1 win over the Giants, sealing their first series sweep in San Francisco since September 1993.

If these were game-used, I suspect they would have referred to them as "game-used" rather than just "bats autographed by." Kind of my whole point.

Would it even live up to the anticipation? Maybe she just lays there, expecting you to do all the work. That is, if you even get to that point, after you decide Chuck's right, she's not that hot anyway, she's too fat.
