Lol, Willson is the best

Alright, score more runs jerks
-
Get Ross warming up

If this does get rained out and they don't schedule a DH the next 2 days it will be funny if there is a make up game and we send a roster of Montgomery, Zastrynzy, Patton, LaStella, Coghlan, Baez, Almora, Montero, etc. to Colorado in September to make up the game.

Lackey and Rondon to DL - Zastryzny and Peña up
Cubswin11 replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Yeah, I posted that in the general cubs thread. Great news indeed. It would be ideal for both hm and Rondon to get a good 1-2 weeks at the end of the year of tune up outings before the playoffs. -
Strop was apparently throwing off of flat ground yesterday already

Hey anything to get Hendricks a start over Lackey in the playoffs, at least the DS. -

Seems like the stupid air there would effect him just like it would anyone else. I just remember reading somewhere awhile ago that the Rockies actively look for sinkerball pitchers to fit their environment. Guessing because there isn't as much movement on it compared to a curve or even a slider/2 seamer. That said, a sinker that doesn't sink as much especially for a pitcher who isn't acclimated to pitching at Coors will lead to weak contact ground balls being turned into hard hit fly balls so who knows. I don't think that worked, I think they have shifted to acquiring pitchers who throw really hard.

Russell is really starting to put it together, he's going to be sooo good
-
30 seconds might be the longest interval he's ever spent on a treadmill regardless of a knee injury

Assuming Fowler isn't brought back, which I think is more likely than not barring another offseason nobody pays him, I don't think it will be hard to get Soler, Schwarbwr, Contreras, Baez, and Heyward all 400-500 abs next year and then Almora/backup OF/CF 200-300 given the versatility of them and lineup flexibility Joe shows to employ. And it's not like some of those guys shouldn't be shielded anyways Baez vs RHP, Schwarber/Heyward vs LHP and defense for Schwarbs, and maybe some RHP and defense for Soler and Contreras so it's likely u don't even want some of them reaching 500 or more PAs anyways.

Or you'd want juicy OBP in front of the guy who walks or puts the ball in play 85-90% of the time

Sweep these fools

Personally, I think his key flaws are mitigated significantly if he can be a DH, hence him ideally having decent value despite those flaws after finally a sustained stretch of hitting. What kind of value are you getting for a DH only? Seriously asking, seems like you'd be lucky to get an Odorizzi level talent or else would have to take a gamble on a injured guy coming back with upside like Garrett Richards
-
You guys sure are pointing out a lot of flaws for an asset you want to bring something of value of back with. The answer is keep them all, spend money and prospects on acquiring pitching.
