    The Cubs are not the NL 3 seed.
  2. CubinNY
    I think they are happy with Madrigal and Wisdom. I'm not, but they are.

    That's an oldie, but a goodie! Honestly, minor leaguers are like scratch-off tickets. If you are hoping to get rich, you're bound to be disappointed. I'm as high on Shaw as anyone, but the Cubs are not a strong enough team to hold a seat for anyone. And more to the point, we don't know if Shaw can play 3B at a high level.
  4. CubinNY
    It will be interesting to see how they handle this.

    Innings are innings, it doesn't matter if they are in DesMoines or Chicago.
  6. CubinNY
    I don't know, Happ? They haven't had that many.

    I'm interested in what happens when/if they sign Bellinger. I know there are a lot of ABs to go around in a season, but this would seem to at least make the Cubs listen to offers for Armstrong.

    Do you think that Horton is going to get a long look in Chicago this year? I would love that, but Hoyer has a prove-it mentality when it comes to minor leaguers where they almost have to force the issue. I suppose if he starts in AAA (is that likely?) and dominates...

    The Cubs have the makings of consistent offense. They have guys who can get on base, they have high-contact guys, but they don't have the sluggers. This isn't new information or some sort of behind the numbers type thing. I understand all teams go through hot and cold stretches and a lot is dependent on where the opposite team is in their rotation. But it seems strange to insist that the offense was consistently good last year.
  10. CubinNY
    That's not the right question. The need more SLG in the lineup.
  11. CubinNY
    you can keep going until you find a point.
  12. CubinNY
    They had 63 games where they scored 3 or fewer runs. They did have a pretty good "blow out" record. They did not hit HRs. They were a hot and cold team with long stretches of cold. Scoring a lot of runs in one game is not a knock on them, but it also skews the data when you are looking at aggregate data and measures of central tendency.

    It would not be ideal, but I could see the Bears drafting a QB at 1 and then keeping Fields and letting things play out.
  14. CubinNY
    That's a shaky bullpen.
  15. CubinNY
    Those numbers don't support your argument one bit. We all watched this team last year.
  16. CubinNY
    Depending on who becomes the HC, Atlanta appears to be a really good fit for Fields. I still think it’s a toss up if the Bears move on from him.
  17. CubinNY
    Hot and long spells of cold. They are not consistently good.
  18. CubinNY
    I don't know the reasons why they retained Eberflus other than what limited statements they made. It's clear that he's on the hot seat from now until the end of the next season or whenever he is fired. That is not a good environment in which to bring in a new QB. The only difference between this go around and the last is a new OC and QB coach. The Bears are a poorly run professional sports team that finds themselves in the same place they were four years ago. There is no getting around that. I'm sure Harbaugh knows that.
  19. CubinNY
    I'm not sure where Derwood is getting his information from, but no one is giving a 31-year-old pitcher a 9-year contract.
  20. CubinNY
    I like Stro, but he's going to give up a lot of HR pitching in the Bronx. I wish him well.
  21. CubinNY
    He's already in his peak years, so...
  22. CubinNY
    Lots to dream on.
  23. CubinNY
    We have different definitions of trying. Whatever, I'll wait until ST to see what happens.
  24. CubinNY
    I'm optimistic about Shaw given what he did last summer, But he's probably a September call-up at best with this administration. That's ok, It appears that they are not necessarily trying again this year. Nevertheless, I'd like for them to find a better option than Mr. Glass, Mr. K, and Mr. Hands-of-Stone (although Morel's problem appears to be footwork) for this year at least. Maybe Murry will be ready by June. It's what the Ricketts want in terms of building a team, they might as well throw them in the deep end.

    Hopefully it’s a short bridge
