The White Sox bit is pretty funny, but it highlights the point that all fans overvalue their own players.

Though it wouldn't take much digging to find some gems on this board.

If the Cubs were to make a deal, they MUST acquire Brad Hand too.

This ring any bells:
That is right. This past summer you guys agreed that two relievers and a toolsy prospect that a nice rebound season in 2012 to reemerge as a viable prospect was too much to give up for the best starting pitcher to get moved at the deadline. What did Greinke get moved for? Jean Segura who was the number 57 prospect in baseball in 2011 and 55 in 2012 according to Baseball America and two other prospects, but two relievers and a guy that checks in number 9 in what is agreed upon by most experts as a bottom 3 system in baseball would be too much.
That took about 60 seconds of digging to find. I am sure there is more.

wow you are an idiot.
At that time:
Free Agent to be
Overrated as fuck
has head issues
My opinion on a player. why would I want to give up anything for someone that is a hype?
in your post you seem like an angry, bitter old man that is pissed off that his team hasnt won a WS since 1908 and is on course to be a shoe in to contend in 2014 or whatever year you state with such for sure prospects as vitters,soler,jackson oh and that guy shark who is now almost an untouchable by most of the cubs fans....with the amazing SP that theo built with edwin jackson and company.
Now out of the million fucking useless posts from you, can you please waste more of your time and dig up every post where you bashed the cubs for something PLAYER PERSONNEL related? i mean there has to be atleast 10 where you actually bashed your team right? please tell me there is some withing the tons and tons of kool aid drinking posts. so if you have time please check and post them as I am too tired to do so.

If the bolded had anything to do with the topic that you
at I would be more than happy to waste yet another post on, but as usual this is a diversion from the actual point which is all fanbases are prone to overrate their own players.- Joined:

ummmmm it has nothing to do with my players it has to do with how I value greinke, thats the whole point.
Why would I give up young arms whether or not they are relievers for right now, cheerleaders or transexuals..for a guy who is a head case, isnt a TRUE ace, and who is 29 years old (which wasnt going to resign with the...lets say sox for topic purposes due to the contract) in other words a rental. makes zero sense. the angels got fleeced...end of story. oh and the dodgers got DPd.

Whatever dude, you wanted to
at the post, but seriously we have facts here. Greinke got dealt for a top 100 prospect and two other players. Sox fans on this board didn't want to trade the number 9 prospect in one of the weakest systems in baseball and two relievers for the best pitcher on the market at the time, but yeah at me for saying all fans overrate their own players because you guyz are so much smarter than us Cubz fanz.- Joined:

helllo mcfly!!!! anyone home?!
Again for the challenged: I dont care who or what position player/pitcher that would have been mentioned or could have been dealt and so on and so on for that type of player. Its not OVERRATING SPECS!!!!!! IT IS NOT WANTING A.... FA TO BE, 29 YEARS OLD, HYPED, HEAD CASE OF A PITCHER! What dont you fucking get?????!!!!!!! This isnt rocket science.

I want you to acknowledge the fact that in the context of this post that the rest of baseball would have laughed at you guys, but you are so much smarter that I guess you shouldn't care.

on a side note:
your farm is better than ours but it really isnt that good. I mean I wouldnt be fist pumping with the situation over the cubs farm. just sayin.
