I believe so, he was a utility infielder,
-
Defense is way cheaper than offense, just like soft tossing sinker slider pitchers are cheaper than those with velocity, it's always about spending responsibly.
-
Bears situation is far more favorable than what Young was drafted into, it's roster with a good QB is a playoff team.
-
I think you're very close, for Hoyer and the Cubs its all about keeping the ball down, pitch to contact, generate ground balls coupled with good defense. It's the relatively cheap easy way to mediocrity. Just don't understand it, to be so aggressive with on the managerial front, only to do nothing to improve his roster.

Hey, now, they signed Counsell, didn't they? Come to Wrigley Field and watch him manage, see him sit in the dugout, chew some gum, drink some water.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto to...the Dodgers? Really? Again?
gflore34 replied to UMFan83's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Imanaga is definitely the most Cubs plausible of Ohtani, Yamamoto and Imanaga. He's older, won't cost as much in terms of contract length, I'd be OK with Imanaga. -
Settling? I knew the THE THRIFTY NICKLE was and is the plan, Ohtani and Yamamoto were never going to happen for the Cubs, not close to the realm of reality. Soto was a far more realistic outcome however, it's no surprise Jed punted.
-
I am wondering why the pretty much complete the lack of action on Hoyers' part. What's he waiting for? Every worthwhile FA and trade target to be signed or traded? Is the Cubs biggest off-season move going to be signing a manager?
-
Thinking about the draft, if the Bears pick from Carolina holds and they move on from Fields. I don't believe Williams will have any problems with going to the Bears. Their roster is far better than a team who is normally picking number one, Poles will probably further improve upon it. So, there's a good chance they'll have a winning record and be a playoff team. For the record, I believe Poles is taking Maye, he has the pro to-typical QB size which I think is a point of emphasis for Poles.
-
They've got a good team, still not in the group with SF, Dallas or Philly but, probably the best of the rest.
-
Lions whining about the no call on Fields grounding the ball, I say suck it crybabies. On top of being terrible the Bears have royally fucked over by terrible officiating - the numerous no calls on targeting/roughing of Fields - its about horsefeathers time the Bears got the benefit of terrible officiating.
-
Poles, Getsy et. al. didn't create Fields' flaws nor can they or anyone else coach his flaws out of him. Best thing they can do is put him in a position to succeed.
-
Never going to happen, just isn't capable, these must be his last 4.5 games as a Bear.
-
I think its pretty easy what just transpired is exhibit A for how Fields is a hindrance to winning, take you're chances with Maye or Williams.
-
This is why Fields needs to be jettisoned from this team, no reason whatsoever for that sack. I'm so done with this clown.
-
The old GB pitching staff plus great defense MO again? It may help you have winning record which may result in a playoff appearance but, more than likely we're looking at 83-87 wins not, terrible but, also not a serious WS contending type team. This run prevention approach is as tired as a good running game plus a strong defense is in the NFL. Of course, not surprised, never thought the Cubs were serious contenders for Ohtani, Yamamoto or Soto, knew, somehow, they'd end up this way.

Ohtani to Dodgers for an ungodly amount of money
gflore34 replied to JD94's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
This off season was and is about Chapman, Hoskins, Glasnow type moves, I don't know why so many twisted themselves in knots thinking Ohtani, Yamamoto or even, Soto, for that matter, were even the remotest possibilities for the Cubs. -

I also don't believe the Cubs are a realistic option for Yamamoto. -

Never thought the Cubs were a realistic option, just glad it wasn't the Dodgers screw them. -
Worked for Pickett last year.
-
This Illini team is big, smallest player of their starting 5 is 6-6, the height and physicality showed last night and against Rutgers. Loved what Domask did last night, he did what Pickett did to the Illini three times last season.
-
How would actively trying to keep you're QB from success be rewarded? Doesn't QB success go hand-in-hand with winning? In fact, wouldn't Fields improving shine a positive light on Getsy?
-
Should have blown out the Lions as well.
-
Had they lost would it have been enough to finally part from Bear "tradition" and fire Eberflus along with Getsy?
-
If the Bears draft position remains the same what about the possibility of dealing 1OA to say, the Cardinals, swapping first rounders and getting more 2024/2025 picks. Then taking MHJ at 2 along with drafting Bo Nix at 4?
