I didn’t say he was one of the best, but he is average and has had an above average season. Stow your argument away, it’s materially and objectively wrong. You said " he’s solidly average or above average defensively". Neither is true. The numbers say otherwise
No idea, but when I Googled his name along with Russell's to see what you were talking about, the top result was a Muskat article about Russell celebrating Mother's Day in '16 with Melisa that should probably just get pulled down. The name looked weirdly familiar, and he's been on various Cubs FB pages today as an Addison apologist
Schedule is set up for it. Angels without Trout, Marlins and DBacks are the next 8 games. Unfortunately it looks like we get both Greinke and Robby Ray in that Dbacks series. Still probably win 2/3, but it's not the laugher of a series that it potentially could have been. Greinke kinda sucks, though
