    Fat players are the new market inefficiency. You heard it here first.

    Man, get Chatwood in there or something. Ryan's toast.

    Any particular reason Hamels was PH for?
  5. Sammy Sofa
    Eh; he did REALLY suck for a while down in the minors after that. I'm gonna say they made the right call in thinking he still had more to work out down there. But Russell was suspended and Descalso existed, so Happ could have added value at the beginning of the year Well, they weren't expecting Descalso to turn out to be the calamity he ended up being, Bote was hanging around, and they still had Zobrist at that point. Like, super shitty Happ wasn't going to bring any more value than those other guys sucking (well, the ones who didn't mysteriously disappear).

    BVE: Big Vic Energy.

    Him spending half the year in AAA was Top 3 most puzzling moves of the year Eh; he did REALLY suck for a while down in the minors after that. I'm gonna say they made the right call in thinking he still had more to work out down there.

    Happ horsefeathering slaps.

    [expletive], Hamels has been merciless so far.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    Man, I am feeling good about seeing a lot more Happ next year.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    It would be cool if Hamels sends off his Cubs career with a baller outing.

    Wait, why would it be either/or between Nico and Happ? 2B and CF both need to be filled.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    If they're going to give Happ more of a shot, isn't he likely to be the one that ends up in CF? Who would be less destructive between him and Nico at CF or 2B?

    I state again: trade them Theo.

    If you could save $4-7 million it makes sense to move him, especially if that money goes towards a 5th starter and Mills slots in the swing man role. I’d be fine keeping both I think and rolling the dice a bit on the 5th spot with them to start the year. Use the money on rounding out the roster elsewhere. Man, I'm figuring Lester is a problem that needs to be fixed next season, too.

    50 career innings of mid 3s ERA and FIP baseball, idk if you’ve watched him at all lately but it’s hard not to like what you see when you watch and not at least think there’s a solid BOR starter/swing guy in there with maybe MOR upside. He’s only 27 and won’t cost any money, just gotta guarantee him a 25 man (or I suppose 26 next year) roster spot. Dude's minor league numbers are a snooze the last 3 seasons. Doubt this is little more than tiny sample size based on the book not being out on him.

    Then why look to move Chatwood? The Cubs aren't exactly swimming with pitching depth.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    Seems like a lot of work to hold on to a mediocre minor league pitcher because of, what, 3 starts?
  20. Sammy Sofa
    Trade them Theo.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    One of you clods get it going, dammit.

    The death row backlog is as follows: TMan92 (0-2) SouthSideRyan (4-3) Banedon (4-2)

    Well, horsefeathers; that's it then. I mean, you look at his numbers over the last 3 seasons, the main thing that jumps out is how his HR% jumped up. Yeah I think the ball is a big part. And not to go all woe is us, excuse maker. But looking at the pitching and offensive profile of the team I think the Cubs have been adversely affected by the juiced ball. The pitching was largely contact dependent since 2016, the offense was based on OBP and power (doesn’t seem like any guy got a real power boost with the ball, they all maintained their talent which would’ve been above average with the old ball). Yeah, I'm still baffled how the dong surge seemingly didn't hit the Cubs in any obvious way outside of Heyward, maybe Castellanos, and Almora for, like, a month.

    Fangraphs has him worth over $26 million this year. Honestly, the main outlier for him has been the dongs. The concerning part is that that issue first showed up in 2017, and isn't considered that this league-wide power surge didn't happen until last season? The juiced balls came in sometime during 2017, idk if it was league wide but they were in the system at some point during the year and fully in for the playoffs and World Series (the pitchers were all complaining about the ball). Well, horsefeathers; that's it then. I mean, you look at his numbers over the last 3 seasons, the main thing that jumps out is how his HR% jumped up.
