This is why I don't get why some people want to put an unproven Pie instead of Jones. Let pie take his time in the minors and eventually replace him. It wasn't too long ago Pie was hitting very bad in the winter league.

 

If they trade Jones, your getting rid of 25 HR's and around 80 RBI's to that already stacked lineup...Its pointless..He's already our best outfielder,Pie will upgrade the D, thats about it, He's only 22, There is no point in rushing him.

 

That's what he did last year. You can't take a player's stats from last year and pencil them in for this year.

 

Felix projects to be an almost identical hitter to Jacque this year and a much better fielder.

 

I'm just going by Jones average stats,You know he's good for around atleast 20 HR's and 70+ RBI's..Has been having a real good ST too..You actually think Pie in his first year is going to come close to Jones stats? No way..He's got Jones way beat defensivley..But it's hard to even imagine one year in the big leagues that he would put up similar numbers to Jones.

In the other game, Miller gave up 1 hit, a hit batter, and 1 run in the first inning, but it wasn't earned because there was an error by Floyd that should have ended the inning.

 

Sounds like Cliff is making the decision easier to give Murton playing time!

 

No doubt!

PECOTA projects Pie to have a few points on Jones in OPS this year, and PECOTA has been deadly accurate in recent rookie projections.

 

I'm not saying the Cubs should get rid of Jones, but it's not a given that Jones would give them more production in the present, so if the right deal were to come along, they should seriously consider it.

Kinda strange showing no comericals and the announcers have no idea they are still on the air...

 

It's quite entertaining actually. :D
