Jack Wilson?

 

If the Jays unload Halladay I've got to think that Marco Scuttaro becomes an option

 

if people think theriot is lousy defensively at SS, wait til they get a load of scutaro there.

Yeah but his offensemight make the teams good enough that we can overlook it again.

 

I think fixing the black hole of offense at second is more important than SS defense right now. I'm ok with having a Theriot level defensive SS. I haven't seen Scutaro play enough to be able to actually comment on his defensive abilities, so I will defer to those who are more SABR inclined or have seen him play.

[Keener98]

Wow Jake Fox is alive!

his career line is .264/.334/.383/.716... that kinda sucks.

Hasn't he been much better the past couple of years though?

[Careless]

Bradley's OBP is now higher than his SLG

Oh, and it's more than 50% higher than his BA

Nice job by Fox, another hard hit ball from him.

Go CUBS !!

[gflore34]

Just K Hill you'll do more damage by putting the ball in play.

[Fred Hornkohl]

K Hill lined out to third base

[PrimeTime]

Its about damn time the middle of the order did what its supposed to do...Before the season started I used to be so excited how devestating that 3,4,5,6 of Lee,Aram,Bradley and Soriano could be..It they hit like this all together they will be deadly..All I can say is, its about damn time..

It's nice to have one day every once in a while where it all works as it should

[dew1679666265]

Jack Wilson?

 

He has a .692 OPS this year (.300 OBP). I'd rather keep the prospects and play Blanco at SS.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 35-22 when they get a quality start

Is it just me or is that a horrible record?

 

Totally abysmal !!

Imagine a hitting line-up of:

 

Fuku

Theriot

Lee

Ramirez

Bradley

Soriano

Soto

Fontenot (or another 2B)

Pitcher

 

all at their full health. That's pure ownage.

I haven't seen Scutaro play enough to be able to actually comment on his defensive abilities, so I will defer to those who are more SABR inclined or have seen him play.

 

The thinking would be to look for a decent hitting SS and then move Theriot to second. It would allow us to widen what we're looking for and not be forced to only look at second basemen.

Hasn't he been much better the past couple of years though?

 

.795 OPS this year for Scutaro. Below .700 the past two seasons, though.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Rollins grounded out to first, unassisted

[Fred Hornkohl]

Victorino blooped a single to shallow right field

[NeifiIsMyHomeBoy]

I think fixing the black hole of offense at second is more important than SS defense right now. I'm ok with having a Theriot level defensive SS.

Precisely, I was responding to the objection over Scutaro's defense. I'll take Theriot at second with Marco's production at SS of .284/.382/.414/.795 and a slightly above average OPS+ of 111 this year over whatever production the second base platoon has produced this year.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Utley lined out to right field

[WTFCUBS]

Victorino seems overrated. Truth to this?
