That should tell you that it's completely unreliable. He was a -8.8 in RF. How many games? That's a per/150, over 500 innings. Most innings he saw at any position.
We already have Chris Coghlan and hopefully we're looking to get rid of him. he hits the ball very far and lots He had a -40.3UZR/150 in LF last year. That's worse than Any year in Adam Dunn's LF career. That should tell you that it's completely unreliable. He was a -8.8 in RF.
So they traded Lester for Porcello. Obviously not as simple as that due to contacts and future value but interesting. They traded 2 months of Lester in a year they weren't contending for a year of Porcello.
Meh, RoboDavid has them as like the 20th best franchise. Why would Lester ever pick the Cubs over the Giants if the money is close? Good God. Oh and Jake Arrieta [expletive] sucks. So does Carlos Gomez. Those are different.
If that is the case, which I am all in favor of, then why did the Cubs tender Wood? Does he have any trade value whatsoever? Maybe we're finally swinging our big-market dong around.
Only if they're not smart. Just by waiting a month, you gain an entire year of control. Even if Bryant is worth 2 more WAR (he won't be) than Valbuena, that's about 1/3 of 1 win. Just wait the month. And miss the playoffs at 87.66666666666666666666-74.33333333333333
