I don’t know why it annoys me that all these guys changed their numbers after they left, but it does. I’m sure there were good reasons, but it still bugs me
Same. I canceled during the lockout and am in no hurry to resubscribe. Just FYI (and for anyone else) - if either of you guys happen to have T-Mobile as your cell carrier, you can get it for free. Nope, AT&T

Absolutely not a defense of the Ricketts, but Stroman would be #2 if not for the desire to split him and Hendricks up in the order. Sure, but he shouldn’t even be sniffing the rotation on a large market team.
Why oof? That's right in the range I would expect them. Lower end of that range but still in there. Like the article points out the Cubs have built a high floor/low ceiling type of team IMO. It's hard to really project them so I'd expect most "experts" would go conservative on them. It wasn’t an “oof” of surprise, it was an “oof” of ESPN reinforcing the awfulness of the roster.
