Addison Russell is awesome and deserves a thread
sneakypower replied to David's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
i'm like 90% sure we keep Fowler around -
we're 5 up on our pythag... also 27-17 in 1-run games, and 11-5 in extras no way of knowing his actual real value as a tactician, much less clubhouse leader/whatever, but i'm sure there's an argument that could be made
-
i actually do think he's had a pretty immeasurable positive impact also it shouldn't be overlooked that no other skipper in baseball conducts the Coghlan @ 2B experiment; hell, we saw 2 other managers ignore his/Junior Lake's potential versatility in completely lost seasons...and that substitution was partially the impetus for our strong 2nd half push
-
look on his 2nd half numbers ye mighty and despair
-
well, he does lead MLB in win prob. added, so it's not totally & completely without merit...

calm down, that amounts to like, one robbed single -
I can't remember, does the shift depress BABIP? "Fangraphs looked at the 44 players that hit against the shift at least 100 times in 2014 and found that their BABIP against the shift was .281 and with no shift their BABIP was .291" last year Rizzo had 20 pts higher BABIP hitting against a shift (219 Batted Balls into Shift)
-
and his HR/FB is 50th of 156 qualified hitters (68th percentile) so he's not coasting on an anomalous rate of FBs leaving the field either he's just a monster
-
next year is Arb 3, then he becomes a FA (assuming we don't first offer him a Ryan Sweeney contract he can't refuse)
-
today i noticed Coghlan has same OPS as Justin Upton as a Cub, he's got 5.1 fWAR in 815 PA...so basically a full season 4-win level
-
still not an all-star still not a top-50 trade chip
-
lol at Giancarlo the superhuman http://baseballsavant.com/apps/hit_leader.php?game_date=&abs=50&sort=5,1&type=batter

Russell's just so smooth in the field
-
Matt Garza had too good a year in 2011 cost us Carlos Correa

pretty unbelievable finish in Sounders game... closing seconds of stoppage time, refs call penalty and what seems like the whole of Olimpia was trying to fight Brad Evans before the kick, he ends up scoring on it to win and taunts the keeper for the hell of it (and keeper kicks the ball at Evans) [vine] [/vine]

guess i don't mind being blacked out of this one...

Zelalem loaned out to Rangers

apropos of nothing, he's been one of the worst hitters in baseball for driving in runs and the #3 hitter doesn't relatively face near as many of those situations as the other spots that surround it edit: on the other hand, hitting the P eighth probably flips this on its head...MOVE HIM DOWN
-
Damn...Cubs playoff chances have increased 23% over the last 7 days and 48.7% over the last 17 days because we didn't disrupt team chemistry with any big-name deadline deals
