Last off-season we had a lot of speculation on here as to who we would need from the Cubs to trade Roberts to them. Now that some of the players discussed last year are no longer there, what do you feel we be a reasonable return?

Jeff Samardzija (p)

Darin Downs (p)

Marcus Mateo (p)

Nate Spears (2b)

Is this too light?

That trade is great at first, then is not so good at the end. But it is an acceptable trade and I would take it.

I would be verry happy to get one of Samardzija, Vitters, or Pie.

I continue to have some interest in Pie, I just am not sure what to do with him unless we trade Scott. I think Scott could have an even better year if he plays more, but it doesn't look like that will happen if they are looking for a platoon.

Asking for Samardzija or Vitters isn't very realistic, IMO. We'd be hardpressed to get either of them for 1-year of BRob. Now that might chance if we take on a bad contract (i.e., Fukudome), but I doubt AM would do it.

Any trade for BRob would start with Hill and Cedeno. Maybe we could get Hill, Cedeno and Fontenot if we threw in another player with BRob?

I won't mind taking on Fukudome. 359 OBP in his first year in MLB isn't bad.

We should take on a bad contract if we could get Samardjza or Vitters. How about if we trade Roberts and Scott for Samardjza,Veal,Cedeno, and Fukudome?

Are we giving up too much? Too little?

      I sort of don't get Elias's plan

      Traded for Bradish, traded for Irvin, traded for Burnes, traded for Flaherty, list can go on.

      Pablo Sandoval was pretty good for a five or six year stretch. Prince Fielder was a fat slob as was his dad. John Kruk was not  remotely athletic and had a good career. Surprisingly, Andruw Jones was not what I would consider an elite athlete but is probably the best defensive centerfielder of the last 30 years. No, being an elite athlete is not required to be a good baseball player.

      I wonder what your scouting report of Bobby Witt Jr was in 2022.

      I think they are trying to tune the robo ump to more closely match the called MLB zone.  The AAA robo ump zone isn't 100% accurate to the rulebook zone, and while the called MLB zone isn't either, it's quite a bit closer.  Specifically balls fading out of the zone are more likely to be adjudged balls by the robo-ump because they're only checking pitch location on a plane at the midpoint of home plate, so for example, a curveball that clips the front of the zone, then drops below it when crossing the midpoint of home plate, would be called a ball by the current robo-ump, but is a strike by the rulebook.

      Perhaps people shouldn't get personal with you, but you do bring it on yourself. You say outlandish things, presumably to troll, get called on them and then double, triple, quadruple, etc down until people take shots at you.

      ??? The only sports where people peak younger than 20 is stuff like womens gymnastics and figure skating, where women have to delay puberty in order to maintain a body type ideal for the sport.  Nearly every other sport's athletes  peak between 22-27.

      Ok several of you want to compare JH to Gunnar.  I am happy to do so: JH is 20 years old and has a .909 OPS at AAA after putting up a .941 OPS as a 19 year old at four levels. As a 20 year old Gunnar had a .826 OPS across three levels, .944 at A, .775 at A+ and .561 at AA (5 games) Even at 21 Gunnar went back to AA for almost half a season and his OPS at AA was .894 I am not saying JH will be as good as Gunnar but people saying we should trade for some pitcher we could have for a year or two have lost touch with common sense.
