Alex Cobb (Part 3)

[NOMAAM]

the 3/42 is obviously just HH referring to where i predicted that in the "Brewers Free Agent Prediction Thread" on January 21st.

 

Huh... I thought he meant that Cobb would sign on March 42nd.

 

March 20, 2042 is how I read it.

[And That]

3/43.

 

Is this the Price is Right? (Price is Righthander?) What happens if I get within $100?

[FVBrewerFan]

You get Cobb plus a jet ski and a beautiful set of luggage.

Doesn't matter how close you are if you're over on the price.

 

I'm going $1.

I think we are missing the bigger picture here. Let's all take a minute to be thankful that the source is no longer in danger and we can, once again, continue to receive the exact same kind of information we received when the source was in danger.

As has been alluded to time and time again, there is really no need to bash, however veiled you think it may be.

[NOMAAM]

I have zero sources but

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

You seem like a decent fellow. I hate to kill you.

 

You seem like a decent fellow. I hate to die.

 

Sorry, but I just couldn't leave that line out there hanging like that...

 

Good heavens, are you still trying to win? You've got an overdeveloped sense of vengeance, that's going to get you in trouble someday.

I just want you to feel you’re doing well. I hate for people to die embarrassed.

I really don't think it's bashing, just playful banter. No different than the ribbing another poster got over the years for promoting a certain lefty pitcher he liked.

 

Plus, you can expect to get some ribbing when you quit, come back, quit, come back, go to twitter, quit, repeat. I mean, come in and offer what you have to offer, or don't. But all the back and forth drama and demanding everyone agree was/is a bit much.

[NOMAAM]

this board is pretty tame. Just don't take folks or yourself too seriously.

It's not playful banter, though, and entirely different than Clancy's love for certain guys. It's just taking jabs to take jabs. While I agree that the drama is a bit much, the bashing just seems to always lead to more drama. And there is really no reason or means for it.

[MrTPlush]

You know what leads to drama? One-liner baiting posts.

 

And you know what else leads to drama? Us still not signing Cobb or another SP in FA.

Let's get back to Alex Cobb, please.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Let's get back to Alex Cobb, please.

 

Agreed.

 

I wonder if the discount contracts over the last 24 hours may tempt some teams previously not "in" on these top free agents to make a play?

I'm thinking the O's will, but I still think the market holds on the SP.

[FVBrewerFan]

After what we've seen lately, I really think it's all about years for these remaining pitchers, including Cobb. My guess is he's looking for at least 4 years, and nobody is offering more than 3. It should be clear to these guys and their agent that's not going to change.

[coolhandluke121]

Let's get back to Alex Cobb, please.

 

Sure, as long as The Price Is Right.

 

I'm so ashamed.

 

Anyway, the Moustakas deal got my hopes up for a bargain, but then the reality check: there are too many teams waiting for Cobb and Arrieta, among others, to lower their price, and that will keep it from falling too far. Fine with 3/$45ish though.

[tigerbrew]

I won't be surprise that the offers to Cobb are much less than the previously rumored Cubs offer of 3/$42 that he rejected.

I'd settle for getting back to Princess Bride Quotes.

[adambr2]

The most fascinating part about Cobb to me is how differently people interpret his value. Some see possible ace upside if he gets his split-change back. Others see anywhere between an unreliable #3-#4 and another Matt Garza.

 

I'm intrigued, much moreso than I am with Lynn, but it's not my money or investment. A lot does seem to depend on whether or not be gets his best pitch back.
