Greinke's deal + inflation is basically the benchmark as long as he doesn't fall off dramatically or get hurt. I'm not diametrically opposed to putting 6/225 in front of Jake myself, but predicting the Cubs' payroll situation and the free agent market 18 months in advance isn't an easy target.

I would assume Happ, Contreras, Almora in some order. -
The Cubs are 61-22 in their last 83 games, a 119 win pace.

cubs and white sox have home games first and last weekends of May, which I always thought they tried to avoid (having both teams play at home at the same time) that's something that is impossible to avoid in two team cities. It only happens a couple times a year so I think the schedulers are pretty deliberate about avoiding it where possible, or at least they used to be.

Almora with a HR luv luv luv to see the isop climb -
(Rizzo walked)

Again, the deadline is not exclusively for players that can help over the ensuing 3 months. Prices are higher yes, but not prohibitively so in many cases. If there were someone underperforming or hurt in the rotation, the deadline would be a prime time to plug that hole and add strength to the 2017 rotation, for example.

Let's talk about our awesome pitching
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Aaron_Kennelly's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
All 5 Cubs starting pitchers are in the Top 30 of MLB in fWAR. 3 of those are in the Top 12 in RA9-WAR, including Arrieta the far and away the leader Also: [tweet] [/tweet] -
Everyone knows Ben Zobrist is a perfectly normal person. What this book presupposes is, maybe he isn't?

Jake Arrieta: King of Weak Contact This was the biggest reason(outside of homerism) I didn't have a problem with Arrieta winning the Cy Young last year. He's underrated by FIP-based measures because he induces more weak contact than anyone.

one pitch one out, excellent

'you're not gonna get Ross on a play like that' luv u JD

I say 7-3 is a goal, better than that is great, 6-4 is fine, 5-5 or worse is a disappointment.

And now a HR for Almora, he's hitting .351/.400/.486, still with the 5/5 BB/K -
please no DP Zobrist, I want Rizzo as the tying run at the plate
-
It's been 15 games Heyward has a 27% LD% and a .225 BABIP entering today Swing changes take time to stick
-
That ball drops, Heyward's didn't pretty emblematic of the way the game has gone
-
good hitting those two at bats, neither of those were bad pitches
-
Strike 3 just looked like a nasty pitch to me, but I wasn't looking up the whole at bat
-
lol there's the pitch that Hendricks didn't get, sigh
-
on strike 4, frustrating
-
Hendricks' changeup is downright dirty this year
