    Stanek does nothing for me. Outside of 2022 he has been mediocre to bad. Robertson is the obvious option.
  2. Tryptamine
    That list has so many Cubs having way below average years. Apparently Seiya is going to have the worst year of his career. Tucker his worst year since 2020, PCA will put up the same value in 50% more ABs, Happ will have his worst year since 2021, Dansby his worst year since 2021, etc. etc. Fantastic projection system when it has everyone getting worse, some significantly.

    Surprised it was Vazquez. Not that I had much for expectations but I could have seen him be a multi position guy who can OPS 675ish, maybe even .700.
  4. Tryptamine
    Look, I'd absolutely love to add King, but you just cannot trade for both Tucker and King if you're not resigning at least one of them. That is just a huge waste of assets betting it all on 2025.
  5. Tryptamine
    Anyone blame him?
  6. Tryptamine
    Brown's future as a starter is more unlikely than likely at this point and Horton needs to hit 100 innings in a season before I'm ready to pencil him in as a starter.

    I take the mid rotation arm. The Cubs have some very exciting arms that could fill pen spots like Brown and Neely. I don't think they have any mid rotation arms that are immediately ready to step in.
  8. Tryptamine
    Add Robertson and the pen is filthy. I still hate the bench and really wish there was an addition of a more reliable mid rotation arm than Boyd. With that said, they go out and grab Robertson then add a legit bench bat, then I'm on board. That's a 90 win team.
  9. Tryptamine
    Frankly I thought Pressly was going to require the Cubs to add another year to waive his NTC. Happy that didn't happen.
  10. Tryptamine
    Still a still a good SP or good reliever/bench bat from me feeling really good about things.
  11. Tryptamine
    There was a game earlier this year where i checked the box score and the teams combined for something stupid like 110 3 pointers attempted. That's absurdly boring to watch.
  12. Tryptamine
    On the high end this should be no more than like Canario.
  13. Tryptamine
    I'm not sure I've watched a game start to end in 5 years at this point.
  14. Tryptamine
    Where does McCarthy go now? Obviously can't go back to Dallas.
  15. Tryptamine
    There are scenarios in which adding a bench guy like Bader makes sense, but given how horrifically awful the bat benches are, he just doesn't for this team. I'm not sure there's a single current bench player who even sniffs a .700 OPS.
  16. Tryptamine
    Yeah, there is about zero chance Jeanty gets past Dallas, it's about the worst held secret in the draft.
  17. Tryptamine
    He's not good. On a bench filled with guys who cannot hit, adding another guy who is all glove no bat wastes a roster spot and payroll.

    Well as of now, the bare minimum of things to address between the draft and FA are one edge, one DL run stopper, one left tackle and one right tackle or center. Further down the list is Safety, maybe a RB and perhaps a WR.
  20. Tryptamine
    Pretty happy about this. Now go out and grab one of Allen or Saleh as your DC and I'm thrilled until draft time.
  21. Tryptamine
    I'm not exactly going to sweat 2 really good players signed below market value.
  22. Tryptamine
    They finally got someone to take their money.
  23. Tryptamine
    I can't wait till we find out that Ben Johnson wanted the Chicago job, but the interest wasn't reciprocal and Chicago had already decided on McCarthy. Just a little extra kick in the nuts that Chicago sports likes to provide us every couple weeks.
  24. Tryptamine
    But you could do that for Robertson. Get a better reliever and on a shorter deal.
  25. Tryptamine
    Counterpoint, can we just pay a guy who is actually just good and they don't have to develop?
