What do the Cubs do with Zobrist Next Year?
jersey cubs fan replied to Garapp's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I think they have him play, more than most, less than some. -
-
He didn't do anything to stand out, even amongst our rag tag group. I think we could find better production after cuts. Failing that, I'd rather develop Gentry or Davis. well you can't keep gentry

Pet peeve, calling a trade a signing

Aka college football

No no no no no no Looking at this stat is nothing like looking at OBP on its own w/o SLG. when i made that post, i had no doubt in my mind that you'd make this exact reply. people are the point is that there's a lot more that goes into how good he is and how bad those guys (sans jameis) are than just the one stat. it's not a catch all and neither is obp. obviously, outside that basic common relationship (that it's only one aspect and not a composite measurement of performance), OBP is much more a corollary aspect of being a good baseball player than this completion percentage is for a QB. but the point is while those guys may have been very accurate, they still could've been garbage by throwing a bunch of 2 yard passes to achieve it, while mitchell was making throws of a pretty high degree of difficulty. (for the record, there are occasionally extreme cases where a baseball player will have a good obp and still be horrendously horsefeathers. see jeff blauser 1998. nobody remembers that he still managed to have a .340 on base that year.) if you lead the league in OBP you are badass. If you have a .340 OBP on the 98 Cubs you have the 6th highest OBP on a slightly above average team.

The other names on that graphic make me think being on the graphic doesn't mean all that much. well, a - it's just one stat... like looking at obp on it's own without looking at slg. it's not like it's some all encompassing composite performance metric. and b - yes, obviously, preseason stats are meaningless, especially against the competition he mostly faced, but it's still cool to see the trait everyone raved about him translate directly into his performance to the point that he was the best of any qb No no no no no no Looking at this stat is nothing like looking at OBP on its own w/o SLG.

seems odd to make a move for next year at the playoff roster deadline. not that it couldn't be. but we have a month to figure out if he has a place on the playoff roster. thats what a verlander trade would have been largely about if it happened. Every move they've made this season has been as much about 2018 as 2017.

I'm not going to hold it against the city for actually holding the privately held enterprise to its agreeements.

Why do you care? who do you care that i care? i care because kaplan is terrible and in no way merits a long form article in the chicago tribune. and i posted it because that's what this thread is for. Kaplan was the leader of the Hispanic players are lazy brigade and Mike North is just a huge bigot and the Chicago media spent the past 2 days talking about how hard these 2 guys work.

He's going to be very very good. http://pixel.nymag.com/imgs/daily/vulture/2015/gifs/lucille-bluth-005.w529.h352.gif

there is not one singleGood reason why you couldn't bring jay back and draft trubisky

Glennon is truly one of the most bafflingly short-sighted signings in Bears history Uh, no? And I hate him but this is just a really strange statement. Nothing baffling or short sighted about it. Nah, it was both baffling and short sighted. Spend $20 million just because. That's dumb.
-
You have to realize that best case scenario is glennon starts bears lose a lot and fox gets replaced with good coach.

do you even read, bro?

If I could have whatever I wanted I'd probably choose to play baseball too http://i.imgur.com/M2GjuUm.gif

of course this guy has a dumb opinion about everything.

One guy that can throw, but won't play. And garbage receivers.

Long may not even start the season. If Grasu starts at center and Whitehair shifts to G that seems much worse than last year when Kush/Larson stepped in. Again, it may just be my constant sense of impending doom, but the line just feels thin. Another reason for my concern is the defense stacking up against the run since the WR depth is so poor top to bottom. A one dimensional running game doesn't seem like the recipe for a winning team. I hope I'm wrong and you're right. The pieces are there, I'll give you that. one dimensional running game? they have two distinct type of backs that can share the ball. Whitehair at guard is better than Long at guard and moving Grasu to center isn't different than playing Kush or Larson at guard. i'm not worried. I thought he meant one dimensional offense relying heavily on running game.
