Bailey/Tanaka to DL

[Cubswin11]

Bailey looks done for the year as he was put on 60 day DL with an elbow injury and Tanaka goes to the 15 day DL with wrist tendinitis and a forearm strain.

Cubs currently have 4 of the top 25 starters in MLB for xFIP

 

Hendricks doesn't qualify yet, but he's at 3.19, which would be good for 24th ahead of Zack Greinke and Max Scherzer

That's crazy that Lester has the 2nd lowest xFIP in baseball.

 

Between that and the expected onslaught of dongs, things are looking to get even better.

Do you mean Hendricks would be the 4th if he qualified or he would be the 5th?

Hendricks would be the 5th, although since Wood is 25th he technically wouldn't be in the Top 25 if you want to split hairs: http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=pit&lg=all&qual=y&type=8&season=2015&month=0&season1=2015&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&sort=18,a

They're actually the same. The internet gives the impression that there's more. :)

You have an article to back that up? Because for a purely subjective perspective that can't seem true, but like u said, Internet.
