  1. It's hard to consider the loss of Alexander an actual loss. If he's pitching regularly, things have already gone sideways for the Brewers.
  2. The variance on Bellinger is so large I can't even begin to predict how he will perform this season. Nothing would surprise me at this point.
  3. Pretty much. They still have a nice core but very little depth behind it, which is why projection systems are so low on them.
  4. Unlike ZiPS, PECOTA has Milwaukee and St Louis basically neck-and-neck at 87-ish wins. The Cubs come in a few games under .500 with 77-ish wins with the rest of the division being (expectedly) terrible with 70 or fewer wins. Thoughts? https://www.baseballprospectus.com/standings/
  5. Looking to get into some new pods, hoping all of you can recommend some good ones.
  6. Last year's draft is going to be among the worst in Cubs history. It's really inexplicable. Seems a bit premature to declare final judgment on a draft that's a little over six months old. While the top of the draft doesn't look great, it takes over half a decade to truly see how the middle and back of the draft class performs.
  7. Oh, I know. I was just making a dumb joke at the expense of the Astros.
  8. Amorality is the new baseball inefficiency.
  9. That would easily cement their place as the Division Villains, for sure.
  10. That's a pretty aggressive isoD. His career mark is around .065 and it was even lower than that in 2022.
  11. I really can't get a read on that guy, which made it really hard to evaluate the value of any contract offer. He had a really nice 2020 but so did lots of guys. I basically don't count anyone's 2020, good or bad. His offense slumped quite a bit in 2021 with a 99 wRC+. Last season, he surged forward offensively with a 115 wRC+. His defense remains good so he'll be positive value no matter what happens with the bat but what kind of value do you see Swanson providing in the next 2-3 seasons?
  12. "Embattled" is certainly a generous way to refer to that man.
