John Dewan says the Cubs are projected number two best team in the NL +21 (after the Mets). If they keep up the pace the Cubs will win 93 games.

 

.600 winning pct.

 

Who's John Dewan?

 

President of Baseball Info Solutions and CardsFanInChiTown's life partner.

 

:twisted:

 

Inside joke or you trying to tell us something? :lol:

 

All I know is that Jacque Jones in CF would be a disaster. Rivers would start flowing backwards, cats would grow feathers, and the sun would implode. There's no way Jacque Jones can play CF in the big leagues.

 

:wink:

 

Uh huh :lol:

 

Context:

 

It was suggested last year, before the signing of Soriano, that the best way to maximize Jacque's value would be to move him to CF, a position he played in the past until being moved to RF for Torii Hunter.

 

Michael's argument was that Jacque Jones rated poorly as a RF in Dewan's Fielding Bible, so it would be disastrous to move him to CF.

 

The counterargument was that his offense would outweigh any defensive range problems, which were probably overstated anyway as Dewan's park factor calculations are skewed by the odd shape of the Metrodome RF wall.

 

I'd rather have Pie than Jacque in CF, but Jacque's numbers - current or projected - look a whole lot better in CF than in RF.

 

Now, I get it... Yeah, I think it's fair to say that the argument against Jones is CF is overstated.

Marquis pitching pretty good.

[TruffleShuffle]

wth happened to LaRoche this year

 

Three-year splits for April (not including this year):

 

206/294/392/686

 

LaRoche always starts out terrible... just not usually this bad. Still, the second half of last year he put up a 1.042 OPS. He'll heat up with the weather.

[Rob]

A 320 foot shot that just went foul results in a soft 4-3 out two pitches later.
