    Friedman is a suit, Maddon is more like a father figure. Atmosphere and comfort are part of the process in choosing a city to commit to for 7 years. Rizzo/Bryant/Russell/Soler/Fowler, pretty good core. I realized afterward it was tongue and cheek.

    Haven't found one yet but if you look at the link they have 2016/2017. Not sure if they just left those columns blank because they are coming off the books or were just lazy.

    I doubt he gets 7 years. Maybe, but I doubt it

    hear what you're saying
    i'm debating because you said you were 100% sure he was going to chicago
    you cited maddon as a factor, i countered with friedman
    neither of us knows their relationship(s) nor who they favor
    and $$$ can also provide a measure of comfort...

    He's not 32 like Shields was.

    That doesn't mean he's getting a 7 year commitment.

    I'm not projecting any scenario. Just what Zimmermann is likely going to get (He'll be a Red Sox).

    50M more than Homer Bailey over the same length? I think not.

    Yeah, my bad. The last full season we saw from Bailey was better than Zimmerman's 2015. Let's stay with Shields.

    I'd say you are better than that, but you aren't.

    Sure, I could be wrong...not that the big prize is " being right". And it all is whether Price would be as good as Greinke anyway...We'll see who the great FO is willing to sign in the coming months.Yup, we'll see.
    As good as they all are, and that includes Kershaw and Arrieta, they are nothing to write home about in the post season...none of them. As good as Greinke was in the regular season he was meh in the playoffs. And Arrieta shit the bed against the Mets...IMO. At least CK has exorcized his post demons somewhat...and Price is nothing at 0-7.
    If you think Price is viable as a Greinke sub, OK.
    I don't. I just do not see it.
    We've had many shots at it all. Many chances.
    Failed at them all.
    I think we watch for a while...and then we can read about how we "need to wait" a few years to justify it.

    Sure..if Price is your No.3. But replacing ZG?
    That's different.
