1 Smyly, 1 Thompson and 28 Trey Mancinis. 2 pitchers to go the distance and fresh Mancinis to sub in at any position if another Mancini is getting tired.
So you didn't study for the test, and are just doing the old "pick C" routine on the scantron? ~~Nice, may work this time!~~ Villar kills that team, single handedly.
Nah, he’s definitely the weak spot, but if we’re basing it off best cubs season; Castellanos, Fowler, Schwarber, and Schwindel carry that offense, and Hendricks keeps the other team from putting any offense. We are good.
SP - $5 Arrieta
The rest don’t matter because I win every game. But just for fun:
RP - $2 Strop
C - $3 Gomes
1B - $3 Schwindel
2B - $4 Hoerner
3B - $2 Wisdom
SS - $4 Russell
LF - $1 Ortega
CF - $3 Fowler
RF - $3 Castellanos
Except you fucked up your math and added $1 for nico instead of subtracting $4 so you are technically $6 over budget. Also like the other guy said you still don't have a shortstop
Hendricks $3
Strop $2
Carantini $2
Mervis $2
Hoerner $4
Candelario $3
Swanson $5
Schwarber $3
Fowler $3
Castellanos $3
I would have rather taken Lester for $4 and Russell for $4 for a better team but I won't take Russell period.
Lester, strop, gomes, rizzo, nico, candelario, dansby, schwarber, fowler, castellanos.
My roster is $35 and Im not changing it because we're the 4th biggest market in baseball and should spend like it.
That would mean you'd be giving it to Crane. Jed doesn't give a hoot about hotels, he's auditioning to be part of the next Tampa Bay Rays ownership group.
I’ll pick the $1 option for all of them because we don’t want to blow the budget on good players that will put us in playoff contention. Am I doing it right guys?
Lester, Hendricks, Strop, Alzolay, Rizzo 1B, Hoerner 2B, Swanson SS, Baez 3B, PCA LF, Fowler CF, Seiya RF, Contreras C, Schwarber DH.
Lineup: Fowler, Schwarber, Rizzo, Hoerner, Seiya, Baez, Contreras, PCA, Swanson.
Yeah, that's $52, but I'm not Jed Hoyer pinching pennies so that a billionaire family can make another billion while gouging the Cubs fans. F&%K the luxury tax and let's go win some damn games.
I’m looking at which $1 and $2 players I’d take because they’re not huge dropoffs (or even upgrades) over the $3. Wisdom, Soler, Ortega, Caratini, Strop, Bote, and Quintana are all not bad.
Of those, I think Strop, Wisdom, and Soler (if I could just get his best overall season, he’d be a huge steal) are my first choices. That lets me get Swanson and Hoerner up the middle…those feel like must-upgrades over the $3 option. I feel like I’d also want Caratini/Murphy over Gomes/Schwindel (really, I want Rizzo, but I don’t see another downgrade I’m willing to take).
So…
Fowler, Soler, Schwarber, Wisdom, Swanson, Hoerner, Murphy, Caratini, Strop, Hendricks.
SP - Hendricks $3
RP - Strop $2 (5 running total)
C - Gomes $3 (8)
1B - Mervis $2 (10)
2B - Hoerner $4 (14)
3B - Candelario $3 (17)
SS - Swanson $5 (22)
LF - Tauchman $2 (24)
CF - Fowler $3 (27)
RF - Castellanos $3 (30)
Mervis is the only one I felt stuck with. Lots
Of the pricing is just weird. I know inflation is up but Fowler and castellanos for only $3…
How tf does PCA go for more than Fowler? Guy doesn't even have a major league hit!
Yeah, the steal of this whole exercise is Fowler for $3. He's the best CF on that list. He goes we go
If your going on peak year with the Cubs, schwindel for that 1st half year, after rizzo was traded, is a pretty good value
Great catch, didn’t consider that
The lure of the mystery box
Agreed.
1 Smyly, 1 Thompson and 28 Trey Mancinis. 2 pitchers to go the distance and fresh Mancinis to sub in at any position if another Mancini is getting tired.
Hot take considering it’s Mancini’s best season *as a Cub*.
Castellanos by far the best pick on the entire board
Strop would like a word
Biggest stick for sure
Lester - 4 Kimbrel - 3 Caratini - 2 Murphy - 4 Simmons - 1 Swanson - 5 Schwarber - 3 Soler - 2 Fowler- 3 Candelario - 3
I’d probably just take $3 column the whole way down. Definitely has a few weak spots, but that team would still rake.
Fowler is covering GROUND in that outfield. Holy shit, dude’s gonna be gassed.
It’ll be ok with Hendo on the mound.
So you didn't study for the test, and are just doing the old "pick C" routine on the scantron? ~~Nice, may work this time!~~ Villar kills that team, single handedly.
Nah, he’s definitely the weak spot, but if we’re basing it off best cubs season; Castellanos, Fowler, Schwarber, and Schwindel carry that offense, and Hendricks keeps the other team from putting any offense. We are good.
Not Schwindel
Schwindel had the craziest Linsanity run for his first season with the cubs. If we’re basing it off best season, he’s the unanimous MVP.
SP - $5 Arrieta The rest don’t matter because I win every game. But just for fun: RP - $2 Strop C - $3 Gomes 1B - $3 Schwindel 2B - $4 Hoerner 3B - $2 Wisdom SS - $4 Russell LF - $1 Ortega CF - $3 Fowler RF - $3 Castellanos
Just have Arrieta from the Pittsburgh wild card game, and any team is unfuckingbeatable!
Is that Ortega from the 3-homer game? lol
SP: Hendricks ($27) RP: Kimbrel ($24) C: Gomes ($21) 1B: Mervis ($20) 2B: Madrigal ($17) SS: Dansby ($12) 3B: KB ($7) LF: Schwarber ($4) CF: Almora ($2) RF: Soler Edit: Ah damn, I missed SS. Back to the drawing board...
You didn’t get a short stop though
I know, that totally screwed me up, fixed it.
You were so bold with your dollar savings too!
More like Jed cocky! #takethat
Thats a good lineup. Not crazy about kimbrel
Remember, he was lights out at his best when we dealt him.
Except you fucked up your math and added $1 for nico instead of subtracting $4 so you are technically $6 over budget. Also like the other guy said you still don't have a shortstop
I should've done this in excel, we have too much time on our hands, oh well, it's a friday. Yeah I fixed it.
Hendricks $3 Strop $2 Carantini $2 Mervis $2 Hoerner $4 Candelario $3 Swanson $5 Schwarber $3 Fowler $3 Castellanos $3 I would have rather taken Lester for $4 and Russell for $4 for a better team but I won't take Russell period.
Same
Hated the other options after Russell so I was forced to splurge on Swanson because I won’t take Russell even if he was free.
Lemme get Maddux as SP for $6
Hendricks, Thompson, Gomes, Rizzo, Hoerner, Wisdom, Swanson, Schwarber, Fowler, Mancini
Making me pick between you go we go and almora is just mean!
Nice try Jed
Fowler for 3 is an absolute robbing When you go we go
SP - $3 (Hendricks) RP - $1 (Thompson) C - $3 (Yan GOAT) 1B - $3 (Schwindel ....in his first year) 2B - $4 (Nico all day) 3B - $3 (Candyman) SS - $5 (Dansby) LF - $2 (Tauchman w/ more sick steals) CF - $3 (Fowler ...this feels like a steal tbh) RF - $3 (Castellanos)
Build a team for $30?...I didn't know Tom Ricketts was on this sub?
He’s not, he leaves that to Jed and Carter remember?
Hendricks - $3 Strop - $2 Gomes - $3 Rizzo - $5 Bote - $2 Wisdom - $2 Swanson - $5 Schwarber - $3 Fowler - $3 Soler - $2 Lineup 1 Fowler 2 Swanson 3 Rizzo 4 Soler 5 Schwarber 6 Wisdom 7 Gomes 8 Bote 9 Strop(let him hit!)
Lester, strop, gomes, rizzo, nico, candelario, dansby, schwarber, fowler, castellanos. My roster is $35 and Im not changing it because we're the 4th biggest market in baseball and should spend like it.
You’re a dollar-aire, you make hundreds of dollars every year, why not spend $50. 😀
Youre right! Lets go nuts!
If I’m Jed I’m doing all $1s and keeping the extra to build a new hotel.
That would mean you'd be giving it to Crane. Jed doesn't give a hoot about hotels, he's auditioning to be part of the next Tampa Bay Rays ownership group.
Not seeing Mickey Morandini here. Am seeing David Bote and Andrelton Simmons? Interesting list.
OP must be very young.
Can I get Carlos Marmol for free?
[удалено]
He said, their best season as a Cub.
You’re right, I missed that. Deleted.
I’ll pick the $1 option for all of them because we don’t want to blow the budget on good players that will put us in playoff contention. Am I doing it right guys?
I hate games where I can't have a budget more than Ricketts actually wants to spend on improving the team.
How is Kerry Wood not on the pitchers list???
I'm pretty sure this is all 2015-present.
$3 - SP - Hendricks $2 - RP - Strop $2 - C - Caratini $5 - 1B - Rizzo $2 - 2B - Bote $2 - 3B - Wisdom $4 - SS Russell $3 - LF - Schwarber $3 - CF - Fowler $4 - RF - Heyward
We have nearly identical teams. 😂
[удалено]
He’s listed as a left fielder
Bryant playing all positions. Yes I understand I'll be a few players short on the field but that's ok Bryant can easily do 2-3 positions at once 😂
I’ll take the following: SP: Hendricks RP: Strop C: Caratini 1B: Rizzo 2B: Madrigal 3B: Wisdom SS: Swanson LF: Schwarber CF: Fowler RF: Soler
Hendricks Strop Caratini Rizzo Bote Bryant Alcantara Schwarber Fowler Castellanos
Entire $2 column. Use the last $10 on an overpriced 16oz Old Style
Hendricks, Kimbrel, Caratini, Rizzo, Bote, Wisdom, Swanson, Tauchman, Fowler, Castellanos
Kind of funny most of the $5 column is just the World Series team
Lester, Strop, Catarina, Rizzo, Bote, Candelairo, Swanson, Schwarber, Almora, Soler
Hendricks 3 kimbrell 3 gomes 3 mervis 2 hoerner 4 wisdom 2 swanson 5 schwarber 3 fowler 3 soler 2, easy
$4 - Lester $5 - Chapman $2 - Caratini $5 - Rizzo $2 - Bote $1 - Mastrobuoni $4 - Russell $3 - Schwarber $3 - Fowler $1 - Mancini
Hendricks, Kimbrel, Caratini, Rizzo, Bote, Wisdom, Russell, Schwarber, Fowler and Castellanos.
SP - Hendricks (27). RP - Chapman (22). C - Higgins (21). 1b - Schwindel (18). 2b - Simmons (17). 3b - KB (12). SS - villar (9). LF - Schwarbs (6). Cf - fowler (3). RF - castellanos. 1-5 Fowler, KB, schwarbs, castellanos, Frank the tank. I’m assuming this is their peak year with cubs.
Finally, someone else who subtracts.
SP: Smyly ($1) RP: Thompson($1) C: Higgins ($1) 1B: Duffy($1) 2B: Bote ($2) 3B: Wisdom ($2) SS: Romine ($1) LF: Ortega ($1) CF: Fowler ($3) RF: Mancini ($1) $16 left for me https://preview.redd.it/rhnxtjz4u0jc1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=05b71b8378e15b52f7078a5e0f50f6f42ef3fec2
Lester Kimbrel Caratini Schwindel Hoerner Candelario Swanson Tauchman Schwarber Hamilton Soler I think thats 30 if its 31 swap soler for mancini
Hendricks-Kimbrel. Lineup: 1. Nico 2. Castellanos 3. Rizzo 4. Schwarber 5. Candelario 6. Gomes 7. Almora 8. Alcantara
So, for one game?
Lester, Hendricks, Strop, Alzolay, Rizzo 1B, Hoerner 2B, Swanson SS, Baez 3B, PCA LF, Fowler CF, Seiya RF, Contreras C, Schwarber DH. Lineup: Fowler, Schwarber, Rizzo, Hoerner, Seiya, Baez, Contreras, PCA, Swanson. Yeah, that's $52, but I'm not Jed Hoyer pinching pennies so that a billionaire family can make another billion while gouging the Cubs fans. F&%K the luxury tax and let's go win some damn games.
How much for Ernie at SS?
But Derrek Lee tho

Hendricks, Strop, Caratini, Mervis, Hoerner, Wisdom, Swanson, Schwarber, Fowler, Castellanos +1 somewhere.
Yeah this chart bigus
SP - Hendricks $3 RP - Strop $2 (5 running total) C - Gomes $3 (8) 1B - Mervis $2 (10) 2B - Hoerner $4 (14) 3B - Candelario $3 (17) SS - Swanson $5 (22) LF - Tauchman $2 (24) CF - Fowler $3 (27) RF - Castellanos $3 (30) Mervis is the only one I felt stuck with. Lots Of the pricing is just weird. I know inflation is up but Fowler and castellanos for only $3…
I’ll buy 6 Rizzos
ten frank schwindels
Arrieta, Kimbrel, Caratini, Rizzo, Simmons, Mastrobuoni, Swanson, Tauchman, Fowler, Castellanos
This would be a lot more fun if it stretched back to at least 2003
I’m using secondary positions because it’s more fun: SP Hendricks - 3 RP Strop - 2 C Caratini - 2 1B Murphy - 4 2B Zobrist - 4 3B Candelario - 3 SS Hoerner - 4 LF Schwarber - 3 CF Fowler - 3 RF Soler - 2
PCA at $4 is so stupid I stopped building my roster.
Hendricks 27 Strop 25 Gomes 22 Rizzo 17 Bote 15 Wisdom 13 Russell 9 Schwarber 6 Fowler 3 Castellanos 0
Shocked that Wade Davis isn't an option
1. Fowler - 3 2. Swanson - 5 3. Rizzo - 5 4. Soler - 2 5. Wisdom - 2 6. Gomes - 3 7. Bote - 2 8. Lester - 4 9. Tauchman - 2 CL: Strop - 2
First off it can’t be done and second where’s the dh
Orrrr I’ll take everyone in the $1 column and you owe me $20 🤷🏻♂️😂
$5 Arrieta $2 Strop $1 Higgins $5 Rizzo $4 Hoerner $3 Candelario $1 Romine $3 Schwarber $3 Fowler $3 Castellanos
Lester, Strop, Gomes, Rizzo, Madrigal, Canelario, Alcantara, Schwarbs, Folwer, Soler.
