What did the dumb hick say? He was just going on about how he’s been a huge disappointment as a Cub and then as Maddon pulls him he goes “man the Cubs are paying some of these guys a lot of money.” Nothing necessarily untrue but in the context of the game it just comes off kind of silly to me. Of all the directions he could have gone with Quintana, he said we're paying him a lot? He's making about 1/3 as much as Homer Bailey.
The problem is we'll still have to put garbage like Schwarber, Contreras, Happ, Bote, Almora (vs lefties), etc. in the final 3 spots. Makes me want to puke.
Because I didn't think about it very much. EDIT: Full disclosure: I finished my first draft and realized I didn't have a 2B, so I just threw Zobrist in. so, your first draft didn't include the cubs most consistent hitter? correct.
why wouldn't you have bryant at 3B, murphy at 2b, and zobrist in rf? i'm pretty sure murphy can't even throw a ball from 3b to 1b Because I didn't think about it very much. EDIT: Full disclosure: I finished my first draft and realized I didn't have a 2B, so I just threw Zobrist in.
Zobrist-2B Murphy-3B Bryant-RF Rizzo-1B Baez-SS Schwarber-LF Contreras-C Heyward-CF is pretty cool, especially when you don't think about defense or people who disagree with the gay lifestyle.
Well he's not the next Mookie Betts, that's for sure. After starting the year with Ozuna, Pham, and Fowler, they're just thrilled to have an outfielder they wouldn't be afraid to have over for dinner.
I always fully buy in to relief prospects who put up video game numbers in the low minors and I don't think I've been right yet. Mekkes is the one though.
Can we please stop the cutesy crap with batting the pitcher 8th? I also don’t think I could come up with dumber reasoning than “trying to give Rizzo more rbi opportunities.”
