I like Gold Gloves and I cannot lie: the Jason Heyward thread
Sammy Sofa replied to NOLA's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I sense a great disturbance in the Force, as if a million meatballs all just jizzed at once. -
Shut up about all that AND TALK ABOUT THE GLORY THAT IS JORGE SOLER: CLEANUP HITTER.

Lackey and Rondon to DL - Zastryzny and Peña up

Uh-oh...this is turning into a stealth injury thread. KILL IT NOW. -

Absolutely. There's a good opportunity to give guys extra rest between outings and Maddon has to take advantage. This is especially true with a guy like Rondo, when you consider the likelihood that Chapman walks and Hector goes back to closing next year. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. -
Seems like the stupid air there would effect him just like it would anyone else.

Also: NICE.

Look at it this way: how many people would we kill for Heyward to have that line? Heck, let's just randomly look at his second half numbers for fun an-OHMYGOD: .170 .215 .240 .455

GO, JORTS, GO.

Patton's already throwing up on the mound, you sadist.

Wow, talk about being let off the hook. Thanks, stupid Brewers.

Is anyone really freaking out? As soon as the 4th run scored, there was a string of "pull him, he's got nothing" posts. I don't see that at all.

And I'm not saying that the only reason to trade Soler (or, say, Baez) is for a pitcher; it's just A option, and it's not a bad one despite you all but insisting that the Cubs only trade players like that for someone they can immediately slide into action on the big league team. The whole "horsefeathers pitchers/keep everyone" thing is cute, but it's not always going to be realistic, and it's not bonkers think the Cubs are maybe going to have to address their starting rotation sooner rather than later.

You're going to wake up tonight and just find Hendricks staring at you from the foot of your bed. I was only being formal. Plus Jake is still the WAR leader on the staff with 3.7 to Hendricks' 3.0 WAR is prejudiced against guys as mild-mannered-looking as Hendricks. It should be something like 8.6.

Maybe nobody. Pitching depth is a thing, plus 3/5th's of the rotation are likely gone after next season. What, is it crazy to suggest they trade for a pitcher who *GASP* maybe doesn't start the 2017 season in the starting rotation? So you're going to trade Soler for a minor leaguer? Better be a damn good one. Or two. Or it's someone they trade for and send to the minors until someone gets hurt or pitches terribly for a while or until their contracts are up after 2016. It's not a terrible idea to want to see the Cubs look to keep the starting pitching awesomeness going down the line when their internal options and the FA options to do so are so scant, and when what they have right now is so old and basically has no real sustained backup of any kind.

So would you plan to go with a six man rotation all year? If not, who would you kick out for next season? Maybe nobody.

And when they're playing defense they look like this: http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/drunken-peasants-podcast/images/9/9b/Shellshocked.gif/revision/latest?cb=20150717215959
