Wow, I didn't see this coming!


Lol

I want to see Mr trade Wil Myers for Jair Jurjens guy swing a bat

That fat **** has never played a sport past junior high

I could handle Petro being so egregiously amateur when it comes to baseball opinions if he wasn't so goddamn sure about things and adamant about his opinion in the face of evidence or baseball common sense.

Mondesi is a toolsy 21-year old with great potential at the plate, who still hasn't put all the tools together.

Even the otherworldly Mike Trout was pretty awful in his first September call-up.

Mondesi has two game impacting tools already - his defense and his speed on the base paths. His bat has a ways to go, but you can see why he has been so highly regarded. The bat has a lot of juice. Even if he's a .250/.260 hitter as a young player, he will be good enough in other areas to be a positive contributor.

Petro might be one of the few tolerable local guys on radio? I don't know anymore. It's been years since I have really listened to sports talk with any frequency. Though I did catch a few segments of Jay Mohr's show, and while it's sports lite, at least it's entertaining.

Kevin Kietzman, for one.

My biggest beef with Petro is that at times he so transparently tries to be the contrarian just to stir shit up, especially when he starts yelling. That's when I have to turn him off, because it's grating and he's obviously (to me) being insincere.

I still listen to him far more than KK, though.

Said it before, and I'll say it again. If I had to pick between Moose or Hos, I'm going Moose.

Quintessential blue-collar guy, whose remained humble coming up and dug in when he was struggling and receptive to instruction and trying anything to help his play and the team.

I like both guys, but I don’t see any way you'll get full value on Eric's next contract. Hell, you might not get it back on either guy, but Moose's contract numbers gives you a lot more flexibility for a small market club.

Now, the second question isn't so much about picking one or the other. With guys in the farm system that could be reasonably an equal level replacement, is it wise to commit that much salary, and what could you get in prospects for moving them and really start stockpiling your farm system?

If they walk in FA, any rebuild is going to take you at least twice as long.

I think it would be enviable in 3 or 4 seasons to be sitting where the Cubs are at with a roster littered with young cheap talent with years of control and the ability to add a few difference makers in FA thanks to cap space.

I, personally, like Petro. And Parkins. 810 morning guys are okay but can get annoying when St. John is trying to be funny or Bukaty brings out his crush for everything Sporting KC.

Other than that, its pretty rough. Especially Fescoe, I can't believe that guy still has a job.

I've wiped KK from my memory - that guy is the most pompous know-nothing imaginable. And the way he asks questions by making a statement and then asking the guest to agree drives me insane.

I agree Khatru. I think Petro really knows his sports, but when he gets on a rant, he's obviously just stirring stuff up. The latest two things he seems "stuck" on are:

-How the Chiefs apparently mishandled Houston's injury
-How bad Mondesi is at the plate

C'mon, Soren, you're better than that!

As per Keitzman, not sure what's happened to him, but he really doesn't offer much anymore.

Bukaty is brutal when SSJ isn't there. The guy can barely talk. Awful.

True statement, which is why the rarely ever have him hosting alone. They'd be better off just playing an old show or letting Jake host when SSJ is gone.

Yup, when left alone, Bukaty seems to talk a LOT. He definitely needs a co-host to sort of calm him down. I do like SSJ though. Seems passionate about his sports and his family. Seems like a really good guy.

Yep.

I like SSJ, I think he's funny (although he's driven the whole "Fister/Pounders" thing into the ground). But I get why some people wouldn't think so.

Nate also can't ask a question properly to save his life. It's painful listening to him to interviews.

Um...have you heard him call a Sporting game? My goodness
