Remember when people didn't wanna trade Corey Patterson..Brett Jackson..Donnie Veal.. Josh Vitters..

 

I'm not saying they should do it, it was just a "it'd be tempting" scenario with the struggles the Cubs have had.

None of which ever accomplished anything close to the minimal amount of things Soler has already accomplished at the major league level. (Other than maybe Patterson)

There's few people on this team that should be untouchable, and Soler is almost certainly not one of them. That said, moving him now for a reliever, even Chapman, doesn't seem like a prudent course of action. And actually selling high on those guys wouldn't have meant trading them for relievers, too. Relievers are piles of meat.

How many times can we keep watching the same mistakes and keep justifying them with "youth?" Castro is not a rookie anymore. He also should not be the starting shortstop. A week of benching him would not hurt the Cubs.

MAYBE Patterson? He was a 2.5 WAR player in 2003, 5.0 in 2004, 3.8 in 2006 and 1.3 in 2007.

You want them to bench him right before the trade deadline?

I LOVE Schwarber's bat, but man the Cubs defense is extremely bad. I don't have the stats to back it up, but numbers have to agree with that statement don't they? Between Castro's routine mess-ups, Fowler's notorious bad CF play, Soler's real bad ball routes and dropped fly balls and now Schwarber behind the plate, it is painful. Thank God we'll never see Schwarber behind the plate with Lester on the mound, I would let Eddie Murphy's Nutty Professor character steal on that combo.

The Cubs are dead middle of the pack in defensive efficiency, 7th in the NL and 15th in MLB.

Gotta figure his stay with Iowa will be short.. Whether it be to be called up or traded.
