...Tad surprised at a Marco Hernandez comp, pretty sure he's supposed to have decent power, good enough for 2B.

 

Yeah, that was kind of depressing. I'd hoped he was signed because he looked maybe special as a hitter. If he's just another defense-first guy, we-hope-he'll-hit-enough-someday, that's kind of a bummer.

 

That's probably unfair, that's just how I felt when I read that. O well, comps are just comps, hopefully he'll not be nearly so limited offensively as Hernandez.

 

Probably this was actually intended as a compliment by Phil.

 

It definitely was meant as a compliment and also, I don't think any of AZ Phil's comparsons are supposed to be too exact, he rarely compared players to non-Cubs.

 

ETA: TT beat me to it.

Anyone with the Win % of the entire Cubs franchise combined? Guessing something like .350
