We all work together. Same network sherlocks

He is a good #3. The Cubs gave up at top 3 prospect in the game for a guy that has underwhelmed this season until recently. Watch him pitch and tell me he is an ace...its just not there. Who will argue that?

and which lester led the cubs to the world series last year? The one that is better than Jose Quintana, even though he has thrown 1,000 more innings. Not really a validation of your guys' Quintana is an ace argument

I said we aren't getting PRIME Jon Lester. His WAR was hovering around 6 in his prime years, which Quintana (currently at a 2 WAR) is in now Look at it this way, if we were sellers...Do you think we get an as good of package for Jon Lester on the market?

We gave up too much imo. Period

If you think we just traded for prime Jon Lester you are sadly mistaken http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/cubs-accurately-rate-underrated-jose-quintana/ Lester is also 6.5 years older. Compare his 2009-2011 stats with Quintana

Which guy? Santana

Which guy? Santana

Lots and lots of wrong things here. Did you do that on purpose? What exactly is wrong with this opinion?

Meh trade imo. I always thought Quintana was more of a #3 on a good team and I think we paid the price of getting an ace. Would MUCH rather have Archer, who might've been available in 2 weeks. Our farm system is now in the bottom 5 in baseball. We havent had very good drafts in the past 5 years outside of the first round. I hate the fact that I will have to watch Eloy become a star on another team in the same city. It sucks. I think I would have traded Almora/Candelario/Cease for a different guy. Agh

He'll wind up back in AZ which might be what he wanted

I believe that they are sending Schwarber down now and if he rakes they will keep him down there until the trade deadline. They then will flip him for a cost controlled SP. He may have played his last game in a Cubs uniform.

Hmmmmmmmm i guess somebody was right

From my untrained eye he seems to be jumping at the ball or in other words not staying back long enough. I think staying in Iowa until after the All star break is what he needs. Plus he could catch more down there which is his preferred position and might rejuvenate him a little. Too good of a hitter to be struggling like this
