That is absolutely right. Looking back at it, it is incredible how much went right for 2015/2016 to happen -
Exhibit A for what happens to the rebuild plan when the newly formed "core" kinda sucks.
-
Does is still count as a June swoon when they were already swooning in May?
-
What the hell is that???
-
I think I'd rather have David Ross at this point.
-
I mean, it was a 3-2 count. That guy probably ends up getting on base anyway even without the catchers interference. And Amaya didn't walk the next better and give up the home run.
-
Neris is a bum. JED's bum!
-
I don't know what to do with the catcher position, but this can't be it.
-
You've gotta be kidding me. My son yells for me to go upstairs and tuck him in, just on time for me to miss the home run.
-
I still expect to see Bruce Bochy stumbling out of the Giants dugout for the pitching change.
-
What was the XBA on that one?
-
You don't even have to choose. You get both!

...

If by "that guy" you mean the best hitter in the lineup, he is probably already that.
-
There we go!
-
He seems to be extra complain-y this year. Definitely a lot of harping on umpire strike zones.
-
Yeah, I think it was the right move.
-
That's fine once he has the ball.
-
You must have missed the runner getting thrown out trying to tag from first to second. That was new!
-
Will the Cubs be the first team to ever have a pregame total runs line set at 1.5?
-
They should play one of the good hitters sitting on the bench instead.
-
That's a new way to lose.

Tangentially related to the subject of Happ, I think I asked this before but I don't recall the answer. Is there any statistical measure of streakiness in a player's performance? As an extreme example: Player A: .250 batting average over the course of the season. He went 1 for 4 in every game. Player B: .250 batting average over the course of the season. He had no hits in his first 300 at bats, then followed that with 100 consecutive hits. So both of these players ended up with the same average at the end of the season, but the way they got there was completely different. Player A was a perfect picture of consistency, while Player B was essentially the complete opposite. Is there any existing measure that teams could look to use to try to achieve a more consistent result on offense? Would it actually be a meaningful metric? Are there players who regularly perform more consistently than others or is that not really a thing? Are the Cubs' hitters streakier than most, or does it just feel that way because we experience the slumps and hot streaks with them every game?
-
I just dont know whether he is ever going to hit, period. He looks to be so far from a capable hitter that it might not make any difference whether he spends more time in AAA.

You're missing Jed's grand strategy. It's not about having a 40 homer guy. It's all about accumulating as many 15 homer guys as you can to Voltron them into 40 homer guys.
