Yeah, he was trying to catch those without the list being updated, so just a mistake. You guys should swap him for Trout anyway, which we can do after noon central time today.
Oh, [expletive] me for not thinking of Trout as a bench choice. So the bench is different than the past, right? We can make moves on that prior to the ASB?
I'd be willing to bet heavy money that when he signed with the Cubs they tried to make swing changes to unlock that untapped power and apparently screwed him up permanently in doing so. It was in fact reported at the time that the Cubs believed they could make changes to unlock his power. If you recall, they tried to do the same thing with Starlin Castro and it completely tanked his performance for 2+ seasons I wonder why the Cubs have had such a difficult time developing prospects What we wanted: What we got:
I just realized I charged myself $250 for Ohtani when no player costs more than $200....but I'm gonna leave it, because it's hilariously stupid AND Ohtani rules that hard.
