That is true. Lester was such a great but weird player lol. I remember he could never throw to first base and then one day, he got I think Tommy Pham out by like 30 feet 🤣 good times
The Cubs did it in their WS year and that was without the benefit of the DH. I was going to say instead of Turner, but you are right that one of Kelly or Amaya would need to be able to occasionally platoon 1b to make it work
Unpopular opinion maybe but I really think the Cubs need to consider keeping McGuire around when Amaya gets back. At the very least, he's made it a conversation
So they won't put in McGuire to face a righty in a critical spot vs the Mariners and they put in Kelly to face a righty in a critical spot tonight. Funny!
I love this version of Seiya, even if it comes with a few more strikeouts. Guy is such a horsefeathers beast! One of the best right handed hitters in baseball
Taillon has a FIP of 4.45 in his career with the Cubs. He is the definition of average. I appreciate his durability as a player, but I won't be sad to see him go after next season. That money can be spent on someone more impactful.
