I don't think the money is that crazy, Darvish has pitched well. The biggest worry I'd have is his health. Last year was really his first fully healthy season in 4 years.

They also dont have to surrender a pick for Darvish and will get one back when Arrieta signs. |

He made 31 starts, so he couldn't have had more than one 10-day DL stint. His injury timing in 2014 wiped out 2015 and part of 2016, but that TJ is the only significant injury in his career. It's a deal that could be rough on the back end, but the money and terms are much friendlier than I think many expected. Darvish Lester Quintana Hendricks Chatwood/Montgomery/Butler... All of a sudden, the Cubs rotation depth is excellent, and they're geared up for the next 3 years.

Also: if Darvish only got 21/year... hard to see Hosmer actually getting that much a year on a long term deal.

Pitchers and Catchers report today. I'm hoping for three first round draft picks to make the major league roster out of spring training; Hunter Dozier, Bubba Starling, and Kyle Zimmer. Let the rebuild begin.

That is a tall order... I imagine we'll see them at some point this season. I'd think Zim has the best shot of breaking camp as our bull pen is a mess.

I don't see that happening. MAYBE hunter Dozier makes the roster.

And, if Zimmer makes it, odds are he'll be off it, and onto the DL, by the end of April. |

And WTF is Hosmer doing at this point? Waking up every day hoping the Royals or Padres caved and are willing to give him 8 or 9 years?
Maybe he'll get lucky and some All-Star first baseman on a contender will tear an ACL the first week of spring training and the team will be desperate for a replacement. |
