    Nah. With his speed and power, PCA always had a chance to BABIP his way to crazy numbers. And I think that's part of this. But that's not to take away from the plate discipline improvements -- which appear to be real. He's making much better swing decisions.

    It's worth noting that Javy batted .299/.371/.515 and put up 2.0 fWAR in 47 games there. He was actually worth a pretty good prospect haul. Just not this much.
  3. Rob
    He heard that.
  4. Rob
    Not this early. Not with our pitching staff. Maybe around the 7th inning if the lead is holding up.
  5. Rob
    Lol Dansby.
  6. Rob
    Angel Guzman and Junior Lake are the correct answers.

    1. Please no. He's a piece of human garbage and I don't want my money going in his pockets. 2. Please no. He was bad in Japan last year. 3. Please no. He's 35 years old. There's not much reason to suspect he's going to get any better than he was last year. 4. Please no. He was never all that great to begin with. He had two great years - 2018 and 2020. For the rest of his career, he floated between a 1 - 3 fWAR guy. 5. Please no. He'd be a distraction for the clubhouse. 6. Please no. Only the chuds would be excited by that signing, and I hate chuds and want to deny them any happiness.

    Take it and run with it. I haven't written an article here in like a decade.

    If that metric doesn't already exist, it should be pretty easy to manufacture. Compare baseline performance to monthly splits or preferably some sort of rolling 10 game average. Calculate who has the largest standard deviations. Compare. I'm not a math guy or a programmer, so I'd love to be told how wrong I am.

    Cubs hitters are currently leading the league in walk rate. PCA, Busch, Dansby, and Amaya are all sporting career best figures. I'd be curious as to the how/why so many guys are taking big steps forward.
  11. Rob
    I was just looking at this. He's still on pace for a 4fWAR year and tied with Busch for the second best position player on the Cubs. I guess defense is still important, eh? Edit: I see he's also running a career-high walk rate.
  12. Rob
    Fellas, I think Dansby may be coming out of his funk.

    Sweet baby jeebus. Can I ask what you mean with the clone player issue? (Not angry, just looking for clarification)

    Drop: Alex Bregman ($50) Add: Jose Ramirez ($100)

    Drop Aaron Judge ($200) Add Mike Trout ($75)

    Yeah, he's the only way I took this across the finish line.

    Last year, I had a three week blowout where my team hit 71 bombs. You probably don't have to get anywhere near that just to claw your way back up into contention.
  19. Rob
    Yeah, a good chunk of my cash is tied up in him. Ketel Marte and J-Rod aren't helping much either. I'm just lucky my bench players have picked up the slack.
  20. Rob
    Don't forget to tip your dealer.
  21. Rob
    Google having some issues...
  22. Rob
    Is Mike Trout CF eligible? I thought the wiki had him at DH and RF.
  23. Rob
    I can't see him keeping the BB% up that high when big leaguers realize he can't do any damage to them. For some reason, I see the big league version of him looking like James Loney with more walks and strikeouts.
  24. Rob
    Drop Francisco Lindor ($100) Add Corey Seager ($75)
  25. Rob
    I still hope he's traded to San Francisco.
