I don't think the way Kepley's hit this year compares to any of the other guys mentioned, I'll also say I'm not here to die on the Kepley Hill, I just don't think it's that weird if he starts AA next year instead of next Mon.
Yeah, this probably makes the most sense. No need to waste a resource to trade for a guy who's barely gonna play. I'm sure Pedro could figure out 1B but I would also be shocked if he's in the Cubs org on Monday
