    Stroud looks strong in the 1st half.

    It looked to me like both Wicks and Steele ran out of gas last year. I expect they’ll be ready for the grind. I think Steele will have a harder time replicating the results than Wicks will. But I’m bullish on the Cubs starting rotation.

    Totally agree. The job here is getting the BPA. You aren't doing that if you are going over the coach's head.

    Houston is going to make one last run before they dismantle

    If the choice is Bellinger vs. Chapman, the choice is easy. Bellinger, he's younger, plays a premium defense and a premium position, and is a better hitter. He's more versatile. I honestly, don't know what the debate is about.
  6. CubinNY
    Has there been any rumors or are we running here? It seems like a false choice.

    I'd love to have had Soler. Also, Davis hated Chicago. I think he's kind of a dickhead.

    I hope the Bears do their homework before they draft, that's all I'm saying. There is nothing wrong with changing plays if you have the talent to make it work. Peyton Manning is probably the pinnacle example.

    Lovie was fired after a 10-6 season, but they missed the playoffs.

    Rinesdorf is 87. He bought the White Sox for $19M!!!!! in 1981. I think he only owns like 20% of the team, but it's the largest majority. Crazy stuff. That's all I have to add.

    Keep banging the drum.

    The Cubs are not the NL 3 seed.
  13. 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.

    It will be interesting to see how they handle this.
  16. CubinNY
    Innings are innings, it doesn't matter if they are in DesMoines or Chicago.
  17. CubinNY
    I don't know, Happ? They haven't had that many.
  18. CubinNY
    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.
  19. CubinNY
    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.
  21. CubinNY
    That's not the right question. The need more SLG in the lineup.
  22. CubinNY
    you can keep going until you find a point.
  23. 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.
  24. CubinNY
    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.
  25. CubinNY
    That's a shaky bullpen.
