you aren't splitting them up right, dufus.

 

swap Soler and Coghlan?

 

I had Coghlan in the main lineup originally but for positional purposes I needed an extra MIF for the 2nd team

If you're trying to make them both above average, you need to distribute the talent between the two

[Brian]

you are at best the 2nd most famous Goforth and you have to face Schwarber and then Bryant and then Rizzo :lol: Edited September 22, 2015 by Brian

Ok I misread the question. I took it as "could a lineup of our bench players be league average" my bad. Good lineup

What is this???

[Sammys Boombox]

Bets on how the Cubs screwup this bases loaded 0 out situation?

 

(Kidding).

[CubInOK]

Imb's job with Entertainment720 must not have worked out, so now he's moonlighting as a September call up for a bad baseball team.

[Brian]

SCHWARBER

BRYANT

RIZZO

SCZCZUR

There'd better be a dong coming out of this mess somewhere !!!

By hitting a rally killing grand slam.

Jim just said his favorite player to watch on the cubs is David Ross. :lol:

 

Jim is the Cubs hipster.

I like this, mostly because I don't see Herrera's name. I was wondering about who I would replace him with: Christian Villanueva, maybe Willson Contreras for Ross? I like the Vogelbach pick. The sides look pretty even, too.

Pity on the Goforth family due to IMBs many years of quality posting on NSBB

[ARCubsFan]

Why does Matt Szczur exist

[UMFan83]

Actually the correct answer is "Szczur and Ross"

[UMFan83]

Why does Matt Szczur exist

 

To embarrass Gregory Polanco

[Fred Hornkohl]

Why does Matt Szczur exist

 

The more philosophical question is..... Why does ARCubsFan exist ??
