    Wow, Horton carries himself so much like Kerry Wood.

    I suspect that Ross' only motivation in sitting Mervis is to do with his preference for veterans. He's shown an almost Dusty-level fetish in that regard. The bullpen, through catastrophic failure, forced itself into its current (much better, and pretty obvious from day 1) incarnation. Unfortunately for the fans, the offense will require a much larger sample of vet ineptitude before the need for change becomes apparent to the Cubs manager.

    Caissie's rep is obviously hampered by the K%. The power is 80 and its already in-game at 20 yrs old. That's bonkers. Edit: maybe not 80, but.....

    Taiilon is averaging 3.2 IP per start. Replacing him with a young, breakout SP would be enormous. But I get it.
  5. muntjack
    Caissie is very impressive. Wild offensive ceiling.
  6. muntjack
    Mervis just a bench bat now?

    Morel is 23, yeah? Perhaps he gets better? Sandberg had an 80 wRC+ at 23. Would a trade have been the right move? Sosa had a 100 wRC+ Grace didn't make the majors until 24. 20-year-old phenoms are great, but that isn't the only trajectory for good Major League talent.

    That may be the case, but 50 PAs isn't going to tell us. I won't list the first 50 PAs for the countless HOFers that performed similarly.

    Ian Happ is currently 21st in the NL in position player WAR. Nico is 15th, Bellinger 13th, Wisdom 12th and Swanson 6th. Those are better outcomes than I could have hoped for in March, yet....

    I know I'm not the only one that saw Flaherty struggling, at 22 pitches with one out and the bases loaded, Hosmer coming up, and called the 1st-pitch double play groundball. It was too easy.

    Biggest Mervis stan around but that was pretty bad. Two fastballs down the middle.
  13. muntjack
    wRC+ (NL rank) Hoerner (19) Swanson (22) Happ (16) Suzuki (would be tied for 5th) Bellinger (14) Wisdom (5) I know it's "too early" to bring up Mervis, Morel and Velazquez, but there would have to be some added value in doing it while the majority of the lineup is performing at this absurd level.

    Would love to see another extended inning and get back into the Dodger pen asap. Could really pay dividends over the weekend.
  15. muntjack
    The handling of Nelson Velazquez has been very disappointing edit: Derp. Just saw he was back down as of the 15th.
  16. muntjack
    I feel like the ceiling is a bit higher. 84-88 wins if they call up the boys from AAA in a timely fashion. 88-93 wins if they trade for an ace in July.
  17. muntjack
    I continue to be convinced the Cubs mandate days off after you hit a HR.
  18. muntjack
    I know how early it is, but I'd much rather see Morel/Mervis/Velazquez in Chicago than the journeymen they scavenged.
  19. muntjack
    On board with the Wesneski prediction. I'll add that he is the lone cub in the All-star game. Steele gets shelled and ends the year in Iowa. Mervis is up in May and wins RoY. Cubs ride a ton of above-average (but no star-level) production to 1st place and an NLDS exit.
  20. muntjack
    Miguel Amaya breaks out, gets called up. Owen Caisse posts a > 130 wRC+ Made makes a case for #1 status.
  21. muntjack
    Neifi?
  22. muntjack
    We'll never know. But in all seriousness, I'm happy for Tim, and I hope that the old gang stays active while a bit of new life is breathed into the site. Good luck with the takeover. I'll be here regardless.
  23. muntjack
    I will stick around because this has always been my internet home but I have to say, this whole thing has the same vibe as waking up to find a dude at your kitchen table who tells you, "I'll be horsefeathers your mom from now on, and tearing up your bathroom every morning, but you can trust me, things will be the same moving forward, so perk up little buddy."
  24. muntjack
    Is there another Canario in the system? I thought he was out for another few months at least, but it looks like he got a PA today and played an inning or two in LF?
  25. muntjack
    Seems like they value proximity to the majors more than most, which I can get behind. Still a bit odd, though.
