Oh the irony. Is that why the cubs have been sucking for the last century?

Sucking and bragging about division crowns isnt that much different, if thats your argument
Naw. It doesn't take much to contend the this division. Especially with their pitching.

Well allegedly their shopping ian kennedy and cashner. And how much of their good pitching is attributed to that ballpark and heavy ocean air?
But strategically. If their ballpark is an offensive graveyard.. why not invest heavily in bats and lay back on pitchers? If an average pitcher can be lights out in petco.. go invest in some bats to be able to scratch out a few more runs and let the ballpark carry ur pitching?

oouch... that hurts pretty bad.the way to win in San Diego is let other teams invest in shitty infielders
Actually the splits for the current crop of pitchers aren't as extreme as you'd think. They are just good pitchers and they have a ton of depth. But honestly who cares? They need to score more runs either way. Trading Kennedy makes sense though.
to your second point, that's exactly what they are doing. But you also play half your games on the road. You gotta score runs and pitch well on the road. Look at their home record last year. Best ever in petco.

The Royals big winter meeting pick is.......Kendry Morales. A Latino Billy Butler. Nice.

Then Dayton admits publicly he should have resigned Butler? Good grief. That is why we cannot have nice things. Even though with the success we had last year, we still have penny pinching money bags as owner, and a GM at times who jumps to conclusions. Yet he was GM of the year last year. Guess the sun shines on a minkeys ass sometimed.

One of the funniest things i have heard is dave cameron going off on kendry morales's baserunning ability.. went something like
He is easily the worst baserunner in the league.. if he gets on first with a single or a walk.. i am not sure 2 base hits could get him home.. LMAO
doh
THANK YOU Dermott McHeshi
Cubs have now won the press conference AND off-season. Do we just hand them the WS trophy now?
Giants waiting things out. I think they're in on Shields to a price point. I don't see them giving up a lot in a trade for a 3B/LF. I think they're just waiting out the market for some deals.

I started listening to his podcasts and his voice is quite odd. Did he have throat cancer?
@Orlando @Mr. Radpants making moves. I thought the Nationals were really high on Souza

I like it for all actually. Kemp deal along with this deal makes some sense.. now pads can trade/dangle venable/quentin/smith also

He is MLB ready and blocked. Pretty solid flip for Rizzo though.
Ross and Turner are really nice pieces.

Its interesting what the Padres are doing. I like it. Start trying to win. I don't love the Kemp deal and I love Wil Myers but they might've given up too much but it's really hard for them to sign guys. So you have to trade for them then win and maybe some dudes will sign.
I think the Giants would be into Carlos Quentin at the right price. Sabes loves the RH LF power plus LH defensive replacement formula he's been using the last couple WS titles. He's also really good at buying low on guys like Quentin and having a feel for if they have anything left. Plus there's no 2016 commitment.

CQ can still hit, its more about him being healthy. I just wonder what he would bring in return. Same with Seth Smith.
I also really like what the Padres are doing. They were able to bring bats in in the 2000's when they were winning, so I am hoping if they start doing well people will sign. Once players come to SD, they normally will resign too. There is a definite upside to the location. They have never had issues bringing in pitchers.
