PCA so far in his career has either been on fire or dreadful.  Seiya is similar. 

Nico is my Cubs MVP this year.  Productive and steady pretty much all year on all sides of the ball. 

I remember bashing every Hoerner trade scenario preseason. A lot of people wanted him traded.

I'll admit I thought there were some versions of a Hoerner trade that made sense (Bryan Woo was a guy I had mentioned and I'll defend that one as probably a fine outcome for the Cubs based on how good Woo's been). But it would have been a very narrow landing strip to happen (trade Hoerner, sign Bregman, get Woo, etc) that was always unlikely to happen. 

Credit to Hoerner as well for being this damn good this year. He's had some similar fWAR seasons, but his underlying data is better than those years, so I think it's fair to say even with fractional fWAR advantages this year (though a bit of that is due to games played) he's out here having a career year even after the injury.

someone just called you out for pretending to take the moral high ground, and you just do it again right away. this is like the only play you have. act terrible, then act surprised and clutch your pearls when people treat your poorly for it. you don't deserve a real debate because nothing you do or say is in good faith.

Don’t deserve a real debate ….hmmm yet, here you are commenting 🙄

that’s about the level of hypocrisy and ignorance I’ve seen from a few here.

You MAGA freaks are a lot of fun.  I’m impressed you can spell simpleton although it probably auto corrected on your phone. 

Did you take more than a minute to come up with that one? Good job 👍

If we had kept Paredes and Cam Smith plus Shaw i was ok with trading Nico not last offseason but this one.  But no reason to do that now though.
