    as much as i hated the giants winning, at least we didn't hear about anyone naming their babies posey or panda

    Chicago's first baby of 2017 named in honor of the Cubs
    by Mike Oz | Big League Stew — 2 hours ago

    If you were wondering whether all the Chicago Cubs hoopla of 2016 would spill into 2017, well, that’s a silly thing to wonder. Of course it will. And it most certainly will in Chicago, where they’re going to celebrate that World Series win until someone wins the next one.

    For proof, look no further than the area hospitals. The Chicago Tribune, while doing the typical first-baby-born-in-the-new-year story, showed us just how much the Cubs hoopla is still raging.

    Wrigley Rose wasn’t supposed to arrive for another few weeks, but she came into this world with two distinctions: a World Series-worthy name and the (unofficial) honor of being the first baby born in a Chicago-area hospital on New Year’s Day. After a short labor, Ellen Dalbey delivered Wrigley at 12:12 a.m. at AMITA Health Alexian Brothers Medical Center in Elk Grove Village. She weighs just under 6 pounds and has a bit of blondish hair, her dad, Aaron Dalbey, said. She will go home in a Cubs-colored car seat to a pink nursery. ​

    Let’s all say it together: Awwww. This was no isolated incident. Another Jan. 1 baby in Chicago was named Addyson.

    Her parents, Jennifer and Chuck Barham of Elgin, are big fans who honored their baby girl with a bit of Cubby blue and named her Addyson, a nod (though with a twist on the spelling) to both the street bordering Wrigley Field and shortstop Addison Russell. Also an early arrival, Addyson weighs 4 pounds, 15 ounces.

    “She already has a Cubs outfit, and it’s a really cute outfit,” said Chuck Barham, who said the couple ended up with a butterfly-themed nursery even though he liked the idea of a Cubs theme. “We can’t wait to take Addyson to her first Cubs game.”     ​

    Nobody named their kid Zobrist, huh? Seems like a missed opportunity. Baby Zo has a nice ring to it.​

    Drew Storen is going to the Reds on a one year deal. Surprising that he chose that destination as it is somewhat a shitty division for pitchers and that home park ain't too grand either. The dude does have a knack for falling apart in the clutch, being that the Reds are going to be terrible this year, may workout for him to stay out of place where the lights get too bright.

    Addyson is an ok name, but I feel bad for the girl named after chewing gum.

    FWIW, back in 2011 I was at a dog park in Vegas and someone called for their dog "Come here Buster Posey!" They didn't name the dog Buster. They didn't name the dog Posey. They named the fucking dog Buster Posey.

    I see a lot of Manny parallels, on a one year deal i think he could be magic but certainly do not envision him becoming a fixture in the organization. Good point about the pick. However I think our farm system is stacked enough. I'd like to see them floor it this year. I think the move would be ballsy but not foolish.

    I'm not sure Bautista is better than Puig over 162 games but I'd rather have him in a playoff series by a mile. But yeah not worth the pick.

    So there's a player you would rather have have in the playoffs by a mile, but that's not worth a pick?

    Meanwhile, our biggest problem is winning in the playoffs.

    So if he WRC+ 125 and moves to LF...what's that good for? A 2 WAR? I just don't think it's worth the pick. Although I understand the appeal.

    You're right, just really saying that Puig's defense and ability to hit LHP make him a 2-3 win player in the regular season, but don't trust him at all in October.
