Addison Russell

[Edith Cox]

 

 

highest on the IF outside of 50% of the infield is pretty damn cool use of stats

 

Javy, Bote, Descalso Garcia all have lower OPS than Russell in the second half.

 

So your point is that Russell is better than Javy, Bote and Garcia?

 

 

He's 100% better than 2 of them and a better SS than Javy

In July Garcia has a 1.020 OPS to Russell's .723. That's a bigger sample size and a much bigger margin. Also Jon Lester has a 1.400 OPS in July. Arbitrary sample sizes are fun.

i know you are being sarcastic but arbitrary sample sizes that make Russell look bad are fun

Unfortunately who he is, is not fun.

Trade him for Samardzija

Garcia came in hot but the league is already figuring him out as he's 2-for-16 with 6 K's his last 5 and while he has power he has a .233 OBP his last 10 games. Also Russell sucks off the bench but has been great starting.

Addison Russell has been worth 0.3 WAR over the past calendar year, a calculation that unfortunately does not take into account him physically and mentally abusing the mother of his children.

 

Robel Garcia has been worth 0.3 WAR in 14 games, hits massive dongers, and to the best of our knowledge is not a terrible person.

counterpoint: russell sucks as a whole and i'd prefer he not play for the big league club/minor league club/baseball in general.

[Edith Cox]

So Russell at his worst is as good as Garcia at his best? Robel over his last 10 games .214 with a .233 OBP what happens when every hit stops being a XBH after they stop throwing him FB like they have since his last HR.

 

You guys are blinded by the DV stuff with Russell, but he's 100% one of our best 25 players we have. Theo brought him back so be mad at Theo, but if he's in the organization I want the best 25 on the roster.

I'm sorry

[Chocolate Milk]

Who cares if he's our 24th vs 26th best player? This guy is human garbage and the Cubs should fire him into the sun.

[Flames24Rulz]

I don't think he's as dumb as D.Rose. Rose was genuinely an idiot. Like "can barely read" dumb.

 

Russell seems more like a lazy and entitled brat who doesn't think it's important to know things he should know, and thinks he can get away with things he shouldn't get away with.

 

are we sure Russell can read?

The part about him being in the organization hurts more than his poor play.

 

His mental lapses gave them the reasoning to send him down, pride has kept him from being released.

 

Same with Descalso, although his is strictly production but neither should see Wrigley beyond the stands.

[Edith Cox]

Who cares if he's our 24th vs 26th best player? This guy is human garbage and the Cubs should fire him into the sun.

 

Anyone who wants to make the playoffs should care. We have a 3rd catcher who can't hit for a guy who has nearly a .800 OPS starting 38 games and has a .800 OPS since the break. Defense takes a major hit since now we have no legit back up SS and out best defensive 2B is gone.

 

If Russell gets you triggered Blame Theo.

 

If Theo is going to bring him back and give him 3M+ then he should be on the team as that money could been spent with the other money he wasted on Descalso and all the random BP guys he signed and who done nothing and got one good player rather than a ton of nothings.

[Backtobanks]

Trade him for Samardzija

 

Trade him for Keone Kela. 2 headcases that might benefit from a change of scenery.

Let's see if Edith can hit on all the key words

Maybe Russell would hit better if he pretended the baseball was one of his baby mommas.

[Cubswin11]

Can this idiot be banned already

[Edith Cox]

Can this idiot be banned already

 

Why should I be banned?

 

I don't condone what Russell got accused of. Theo brought him back at 3.4M plus incentives, be mad at him not me.

Oh no, this sounds really serious. Cancel the season.
