[Jason Ross]

Consider me whelmed. 

[Derwood]

[WhyCantWeWin]

We have our closer boys!!1!

[Stratos]

Given our strong SP, weak hitting, and terrible bullpen that can't hold leads, this team should continue to play in a lot of close games and make a run at the all-time blown saves record.

This man will be a part of that journey.

[CubinNY]

horsefeathers yea!

USA. USA, USA!!!!

[We Got The Whole 9]

His curve has big stuff+ marks in a minuscule sample. The sinker's not bad either. 

[Bertz]

Pitching bot on Fangraphs LOOOOOVVVVVESSSSS him FWIW

Also, weirdly, even though he's a RHH side armer he's been death on lefties

margherriiiiiiiiiiti

[Max Power]

At this point, just keep throwing horsefeathers at the wall and hope something sticks.

Niiiiiittoliiiiiii

I frankly don't give a horsefeathers what FanGraphs thinks of his "stuff". He was let go by the 4th worst team in the league.

Relievers can be weird, sometimes you catch lightning in a bottle.

Looking at Vinny’s numbers, he does look like Jed’s type.

Everyone until now: We have to try something different! 

Everyone when we make a no-risk move to try something different: Lol no, not like this

I'm sure glad you are here to point that out at every opportunity.

You're right, I should join every other person and just find ways to spin every single thing that happens as something negative. That would be way less exhausting. 

[Tryptamine]

Absolutely anything and everything to avoid making a move with actual substance.

You don’t have to spin to find the negatives in the roster construction of this team.

They signed a reliever with a 14 K/9 rate in AAA and a 2.25 ERA in 8 innings in the majors for a league minimum contract to replace some dude who sucks in the current bullpen. We can be neutral, or even ok, with that decision.

40 teams jockeying for that playoff and Arraez remains the only significant trade made. It seems like every teamis waiting, not just the Cubs.
