In a far better world they keep neither.

Guys, come on; surely there's some merit to this "get rid of most of the team" approach. There's no way it could possibly turn out poorly. -

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?
-
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.
-
Man, I am feeling good about seeing a lot more Happ next year.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Seems like a lot of work to hold on to a mediocre minor league pitcher because of, what, 3 starts?
-
Trade them Theo.
