[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1275848, member: 26283"] It's really going to be hilarious about 15 months from now when we start hearing, "How did the rest of MLB let the Cubs pick up this guy (whichever one who clicks) for virtually free!?!" Ignoring the fact that the Cubs also picked up 5 or 6 other guys with nearly identical profiles who didn't do squat, and that the Cubs broadcasted pretty loudly exactly what they were trying to do. It continues to amaze me how, 1. Theo straight up tells everyone exactly what his plans are; 2. The rest of baseball lets him carry out his plans with virtually no interference; and 3. The rest of baseball then scratches their heads in wonder at how Theo accomplished his goals. It's going to be like '12-'14 all over again... Theo: "I'm going to pick up cheap free agent pitchers with inflated ERAs compared to their FIP and then flip them for prospects when their ERA normalizes." The Rest of Baseball: "Ooooh! Lemme give you some prospects for that guy!!!" [/QUOTE]
