  1. What’s the appeal? He doesn’t really walk, doesn’t hit for power (and he’s played in coors), doesn’t make contact, defense metrics don’t like him. Outside of last year, he has always hit 113,110,110 wRC+ his previous 3 seasons. He'd be a solid defensive COF with the ability to fill in a CF when needed. His walk rate should be somewhere between 6.5 to 7% which isn't much below mlb average at roughly 8%. I see him as an .825ish ops guy with 20ish bombs. Not a stud but certainly an everyday quality player.
  2. David Dahl needs to become a Cub immediately.
  3. Adam Miller is a monster.
  4. Granted they aren't playing a particularly competitive team, but Illinois looks fantastic, Miller in particular.
  5. Mired in mediocrity is the worst place you can be. They either need to go all in this year and accept that there's a 5 year rebuild coming or completely tear it down. They already wasted a ton of player value sending a very mediocre team onto the field in 2019.
  6. I laughed out loud and kind of hate myself for it at the same time.
  7. The days of this as a possibility are long gone and likely so are the chances of landing Kieboom. At this point I think I'd be thrilled walking away with Jackson Rutledge and Seth Romero.
  8. Yeah, we're at the point where the only way to get anything of note for Bryant or moving Kimbrel at all would require eating some money and with Ricketts crying poor, neither is likely to happen.
  9. One of my biggest pet peeves is drafting people based on tools and hoping it translates to in game skills. This isn't an egregious case, but I'm not thrilled either.
  10. At least when the Cubs were awful I had the farm that gave me some kind of enjoyment, this is nothing but awful with more awful in the future.
  11. I sad it earlier this year that we're going to look back at week 1's DET drop and ATL's implosion and be pissed off that it cost us a top 5 pick.
  12. Laughably awful play call again.
  13. The question now becomes will they have positive yardage in the 2nd half.
  14. [tweet][/tweet] Yeah, I've given up hope on reaching 200. I'm now hoping for 150.
  15. Really looking forward to Illinois vs Duke at Cameron in the Big 10/ACC Challenge. Nothing to lose and could be a huge win.
  16. I can't wait until 2021 when Nagy is still coach, because blah blah blah good record.
  17. Can someone tell them it's too late to tank for the first pick?
  18. We are approaching next level awful.
  19. 2nd and 16, hand off. It's like he wants to be fired.
  20. I'm done, the tide of the game completely flipped after that TO.
  21. As terrible as That coverage was. Nagy calling that TO was even worse. Every single game without fail he makes an absolutely idiotic decision.
