I cracked up when he said people talk about him having a bad season but noone mentions the 9 very good starts he had when he went 7-2...lol 9 out of 23 isn't bad 😅
-
They sure are.. you think they're going to add another FA that plays 3B ? Morel is 100% the OD starter there and Mastrobuoni is 100% on the team over Madrigal.
-
Mastrobuoni will likely make it as a LH bat who can play 2B, SS, 3B, and OF of needed. Cooper RH bat who can backup 1st and DH Canario, Mervis, and Peralta are likely battling for final spot I do think they may end up making a couple of minor trades for minor league depth in lower levels. Wisdom, Bote and Madrigal could be moved
-
What a fast game, liking the Cubs 3 lefties in Steele, Imanaga, and Wicks, they can win alot of games with them 3 and the bats scoring at least 3 to 4 runs in their starts. Wonder which 2 lefty CC will slide Hendricks between, im gonna guess Imanaga and Wicks.
-
With the season 2 weeks away, is it fair to say that the Cubs are done adding any significant players to the main roster ? So, Bellinger(return) and Imanaga were the only significant signing and a trade for Busch. Seems like a pretty dull offseason for them, I like the pitching, hopefully it holds up.
-
I'm excited this season with the pitching overall, just not sure about the bats. I'm hoping they grab another good bat for DH.
-
I just saw him on the FA list, didn't know he was suspended
-
I'm still holding out hope they can make a deal with Montgomery.
-
None on the other catchers are going to be used off the bench.. With the DH, teams need to make sure the other 4 guys can play multiple positions, good glove, and can possibly be used as a pinch runner. There's no room for just an end of bench 3rd catcher anymore
-
Be interesting to see if Cooper and D.Smith continue to have a good Spring if Jed will consider taking offers for Mervis and or Wisdom .
-
Cause there are meathead fans that if a young talnted player don't perform in their first 50 pro AB or in ST they have an over reaction response and peg them a bust. 🙄
-
I'm gonna guess they're giving him the long look with Wisdom hurt.. They likely have Cooper/Canairo/Wisdom competing for the RH DH spot and D.Smith and Mervis competing for the LH DH spot.
-
They can still play in games, but they now get more practice/work in with their minor league club over getting in what they can with the regulars getting the bulk of it.
-
Unless I missed him, haven't noticed Amaya playing much, did he get hurt?
-
CC mentioned that he hopes he makes mistakes early on so he can learn from them
-
Morel not having a good defensive game today so far, but I think he'll still be the starter there come OD.
-
Luke Little should be on the opening day roster
-
Madlock wanted a multi-year deal in an era when Cubs ownership and management didn’t really want to give those out. It was right at the dawn of free agency, which the Cubs didn’t really participate in either. The Cubs offered Madlock a $110,000 contract for 1977, far below his market value. The New York Times reported: Madlock wanted a multi year deal of at least 200K per. So the Cubs traded him.
-
Yep, he was Santo replacement after Santo was traded to Whitesox, he should of been there for years but PK was a cheap ass.
-
Madlock- considering the big stars black players on that team before Madlock, I doubt it was because of his skin color.. PK was just a cheap ass that wasn't going to pay anyone
-
Theyll probably start the season on a HR tear hitting one in a bunch of consecutive games 😅
-
I didn't say he was supposed to make them forget Santo. I just remember the local sports media at the time and even Harry and Stone were all excited with him in 96 and 97 when he was in minors and his rookie year and they kept mentioning him as the kid who can finally be the one to take over 3B cause they haven't had a set 3Bmen since Santo.. He was supposed to be their long awaited answer to 3B
-
Orie was supposed to be "the guy" at third that the cubs finally had long term there since Santo
-
Cubs can have a pretty good bench this season along with position depth with players in AAA/AA. If Busch(1B) and Morel(3B) can produce all season without going into any longggg slumps, itll be huge for the offense. Bench... Amaya Mastrobuoni Mervis/Dom Smith Wisdom Tauchman Also, with all the OF talent in AA and AAA, itll be interesting to see what they'll do as far as promotions and trades during the season.
-
The potential this team can have this season and next with some of these kids is pretty exciting, and they still have quite a few in the lower levels that are talented.
