    La Stella has a 1.090 OPS. He's hitting .375 on a .348 BABIP.

    If Montero spends the minimum amount of time on the DL, you're talking about 10 games. Ross is going to play regularly regardless of who comes up, so you're talking about 2 games or about 10 PA for whoever is brought up. It's very easy to see how that 10 PA is not terribly consequential and that it's better for Contreras's development to continue getting the regular playing time and not have him interrupted by 10 days on the big league bench so that he can be like one single better than Federowicz in a trivial amount of playing time.

    At least 3 players need to be on each side of 2nd base, 2 on the dirt and 1 in the OF. You'd still have people shifting up to the boundary, but that would prevent the LH hitter shift and limit the RH shift.

    It's a flimsy connection but I'm gonna post it anyway: [tweet] [/tweet]
  6. Transmogrified Tiger
    that is one of the worst errors I've seen in a long time
  7. Transmogrified Tiger
    I saw one beat writer saying that is the plan.

    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.
  9. Transmogrified Tiger
    I would assume Happ, Contreras, Almora in some order.
  10. Transmogrified Tiger
    The Cubs are 61-22 in their last 83 games, a 119 win pace.
  11. Transmogrified Tiger
    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.
  12. Transmogrified Tiger
    Happ is in the Carolina league.
  13. Transmogrified Tiger
    Almora with a HR luv luv luv to see the isop climb
  14. Transmogrified Tiger
    (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.

    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?
  18. Transmogrified Tiger
    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.

  20. Transmogrified Tiger
    one pitch one out, excellent
  21. Transmogrified Tiger
    'you're not gonna get Ross on a play like that' luv u JD
  22. Transmogrified Tiger
    I say 7-3 is a goal, better than that is great, 6-4 is fine, 5-5 or worse is a disappointment.
  23. Transmogrified Tiger
    And now a HR for Almora, he's hitting .351/.400/.486, still with the 5/5 BB/K
  24. Transmogrified Tiger
    please no DP Zobrist, I want Rizzo as the tying run at the plate
  25. Transmogrified Tiger
    It's been 15 games Heyward has a 27% LD% and a .225 BABIP entering today Swing changes take time to stick
