    How many games does the 2016 team win with this version of Javy?
  13. We Got The Whole 9
    So sick of the walks. Way too many, Cole.

    Nah I like Eloy, I hope he rakes. Just Q should also rake Nothing against the guy but I am so sick of hearing the complaints about how we gave up a generational hitter for a bottom rotation pitcher.
  15. We Got The Whole 9
    So Q is back to being at least a 2 and Eloy has an OPS sandwiched between Bryant and Schwarber with absolutely no defensive value added. This should keep up and I would be a very happy man.

    And he wants to be closer to his family in Chicago

    https://twitter.com/cubs_live/status/1120481748931022848?s=21 Man, is that depressing... Sealboy hitting for this much power makes no sense. Honestly not sure I agree. He has the bat speed and pitch recognition; all he needed was to raise his launch angle. It's easier said than done but with a guy with his hitting aptitude, it should be doable. Moving forward I would rather put the eggs in the basket of contact hitters and help them develop loft, rather than take 'power (it's a bit of a misnomer to me) hitters' with whiff issues and hope they can correct those. Look all around the league and 'slap hitters' are finding they have more power in store than previously suspected. With teams no longer pigeonholing every player based on prototype and tooling their swings to maximize loft. You will see more guys pop out of the woodwork showing more power than they were projected for, IMO.

    Here's the video. You really never see an ITPHR off of this type of contact. Definitely a poor play by the LF. Nico is almost to 3rd by the time it is fielded. https://t.co/SospJVaFcR
  19. We Got The Whole 9
    He really has 'lost' quite a bit of his pull power on inside pitches that was so prevalent in 2015 and 2016. I know this is me just repeating myself but the profiles demonstrate it quite clearly.
  20. We Got The Whole 9
    Nico hit a line drive down the left field line and they couldn't tag him before he crossed the plate. Apparently he did it in just under 15 seconds.
  21. We Got The Whole 9
    One thing is for certain: it doesn't look like he's trying to work around a dislocated shoulder as he attempts a shotput, like it did last year.
  22. We Got The Whole 9
    He can't pull a ball for horsefeathers this year.

    That Cain contract is going to age incredibly poorly for the Brewers. He’s 33 and he’s got three more years and $51M left after this year. Even if the Cubs got 2018 Adam Jones OPSing .732 and playing a bad right field, he’d be pretty easily worth the $3M the D-Backs are paying him just to get Almora’s bat out of the lineup. People do this all the time: they love to point out that the back end of a contract could be ugly but completely gloss over the fact that they're possibly going to get surplus value on the deal by year 3. Last year he was 6.9 bWAR and 5.7 fWAR and this year he's added another 1 to each of them in the first 6th of the season, so he's well on pace to do that again. That will cover the 80m contract and then some if he gets to 12 WAR. Who gives a crap about what happens thereafter.
  24. We Got The Whole 9
    Could've just signed Cain for a quarter of that and won the division by almost 10 games last season

    Bryzzo needs to be Bryzzo. Sick of their garbage.
