i have a bad feeling that randy wells will suck next year.

 

I like that you type this after today, and have previously said nothing like this.

 

ok? i've hardly paid attention to the cubs the past month.

 

i shouldn't say he will suck... i guess he might be your typical #5 but i don't think he will be better than that. although i did just arrive at this after watching him pitch four innings poorly, so what do i know.

Wells is neither the pitcher he was for the majority of the summer, nor is he the pitcher of the last two starts. He is likely going to fall somewhere in between and probably end up similar to a Marquis type pitcher

So worse than Marshall then?

I would say close to the same level, probably a little better than Marshall. But I would say from next season going forward if both were given 25-30 starts their final numbers/results would probably be very similar.

ok, now that I agree with. regression maybe, but I certainly don't think "he'll suck". he's shown quite a bit of poise on the mound this year.

 

I'm just trying to find some positives on the team this year man :\

 

fair enough. he strikes me as a league-average innings eater more than a middle-of-the-rotation guy, but i suppose we could always use a cheap innings-eater rather than paying out the butt for a jason marquis type. i've always kinda liked wells as a long man or back of the rotation guy; maybe my statement about him sucking next year is just feeling cynical about the team in general. i think he is a useful part.

Probably, I guess Sean has more value out of the pen since he is lefthanded.

Marshall's value is definitely higher out of the pen, I would say best case scenario out of either guy is league average #3 type starter and worst case for Wells is #5 type innings eater and Marshall's is probably LOOGY/long relief.

A typical #5 sucks.
