    the indians are insane

    We were a baseball team in need of a left handed reliever and a backup catcher and we got both for Candelario who may or may not be an ok backup or below average starter and parades who is an odds on favorite to never make the major leagues. Sucks that Wilson has sucked but its a good bet that will turn around before the contract expires. Avila became our starter, filled in admirably, and had several big or game winning hits for us. It was a good trade and we got the exact return that we needed. this is an absurdly positive take for a backup catcher and a reliever with a 2 WHIP since he got here. Hell backup catchers are so easy to find that we managed to get a backup to our backup for free and he has a .850 OPS as a cub

    We also got back a guy who ended up being our starting catcher for a month while putting up a .257/.368/.432 line. And Wilson could come back next year and be good -- like he has been the rest of his career. Obviously it hasn't worked out great, since Wilson suddenly became horrible. But I'm not quite ready to write it off as a bad trade. yeah but there's no option for "ill hold off" so it's either good or bad, and it definitely hasn't been good.

    i dont care about the guys we gave up, i care that the guy we got back has been a net negative and might not even make the playoff roster when the same pieces could have brought back someone who could throw a strike once or twice a week

    The Cubs stink

    imb replied to imb's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    If you think about it, it's pretty crazy how much has gone wrong. We've gotten very little from all three OF spots (3.4 WAR from Heyward/ALmora/Jay/Schwarbs) Russell sucked and got hurt (or got hurt and sucked,) same for Zobrist. So the only offensive production we've gotten is from KB/Rizzo/Willson with cameos from Happ and Baez. Our SP has gone backwards both in production and health, our bullpen is trash save CEJ and Wade, who both have the same Achilles heel anyway. Our trade acquisitions have been either disappointing or regretful. Even the bright spots are marred by problems — Bryant hasn't had anyone to knock in and is gonna finish with an RBI total in 60s, and Contreras started cold and missed a month with an injury. Even Baez's defense has gone backwards.

    8-year contract $184 million If he stays for that full contract we're looking at less than 10 WAR over the life of the deal

    If you go by fangraphs, Heyward has been less valuable this year than last (due to his dWAR taking a nose dive.)
  13. imb
    Doesnt he only have 53 bombs though?
  14. imb
    what the horsefeathers
  15. imb
    lmao he's an idiot, like no one could possibly blame him.
  16. imb
    i mean if you're gonna shoot your shot it's tough to find a better target
  17. imb
    sticky this plz
  18. imb
    Yeah more than likely the wrist is healed next year and he comes back and hits (he'll probably hit until he's 40) and we'll just have to find a way to continue to hide him on defense. If he doesn't hit, he continues to share space w/Russell and Baez. I'm more concerned about what to do with Russell if he fails to progress next year than I am with Zobrist.

    i generally feel bad for pitchers who are hurt because it must just suck knowing you could explode at any moment but i really enjoy matt harvey getting hurt and blowing goats
  20. imb
    .245/.337/.545 since he came back from AAA
  21. imb
    Baez earned Schwarber that safe call because New York wanted that run to count #ElMago

    Remember that game against the Cardinals when someone hit a bomb off us and someone goes "welp the pirates are winning the division"

    At least gleyber had the decency to get injured. Eloy can't stop raking while Quintana sucks
