In the game thread last night I brought up the possibility of facing Degrom, Thor, Nola, Arrieta, Scherzer and whatever is left of Strasburg in a two week period. Well seeing as Nola is pitching right now and Arrieta is pitching tomorrow I did the math and if they stay in the same order the Cubs will miss both in Philly.

I'm just intrigued to see how low his slugging percentage can go. Right now, it's at .346.

 

Addison Russell is crappy.

 

Second half Addison Russell:

 

.202 .242 .228 .470

Posted

Two player lines

Player A

OPS .669

OPS+ 75

 

Player B

OPS .663

OPS+ 74

 

Player A is Jose Macias' career line (remember the Gremlin?) Player B is Addison Russell this year. (his 2nd half OPS is somewhere around .450 FWIW)

 

He's not only toxic off the field, he's so bad on the field that we can't even justify trading him in the offseason because we'd get absolutely nothing in return.

Everything about Russell makes me want to horsefeathering barf. His ceiling right now is, like, Castro with good defense, and he'd be lucky to even get to that.

I'm hoping that he could be included for a closer that is an upcoming FA on a team rebuilding (like Herrera), but I doubt he has enough value for that.
