KCCub

He’s who I’m moving Shaw+ for. Ground ball pitcher who is a bulldog. Would love to have him at the top of our rotation the next 2.5 years.

I know the Giants have some decent prospects at catcher, but they’re someone to watch with throwing in the towel early. It’s been a horsefeathers show there with Posey, Devers, Tony V, and recently Webb slipping up and saying he shouldn’t have even been pitching when he had a hurt knee.

There's absolutely a narrow path that I would be for the Cubs taking a risk on Skubal. So many factors in play though that it's tough to answer that question right now.

There goes the Skubal TDL dream (Or does it?)

That’s what I was thinking. I’m slightly confused on the verbiage I’m seeing reported. The report above is the most detailed and sounds like it came directly from CC. Taylor reported “full TJ”, so I originally thought it wasn’t the brace surgery.

Do they stick Brown as the closer or is it just committee/matchups at this point?

Yea, that’s my preferred setup at the top. I was hoping CC would stick with Nico at leadoff moving forwards and I just really like Busch in the 2 hole.

Bregman is pretty slow isn't he
