  1. But would you pay 30m for a 3 WAR position player? And ones who are prone to injury including surgeries where you're out 1-2 years.
  2. If Imanaga goes to the IL and they decide they don't want to bring up Horton for whatever reason my guess is Flexen gets some starts and they activate Tyson Miller.
  3. Cubs pen tied for 2nd for most BS, tied for 5th in losses. 22nd in pen ERA.
  4. Does he work alone when he does Iowa games? Maybe that's something to do with it?
  5. New unis are decent. Not in love with it, wouldn't buy the jersey.
  6. Both this year and last year, hitters have lit up Ben Brown's fastball. High EV and high xAVG and xSLG on it. Good fb velo but maybe it's a location thing.... hopefully. Have to assume guys are probably sitting on that fb too because the curve is very good. As people have said, he may need a 3rd pitch longterm to stay in the rotation. He's been working in a change up
  7. They can keep being a really good hitting team but there's no way the Cubs offense can keep up the pace they've been on all year. Bound to regress to the mean a bit.
  8. That could be it, but in Turner's defense he isn't playing everyday and it's hard to hit like that. I think Counsell wants to keep guys sharp and get the bench some playing time, but there's downsides to that too if they just haven't been good.
  9. He definitely has a lot of lift in his swing. Guys like Kelly, PCA, Tucker prove you don't need crazy power to hit HR, just the right launch angle.
  10. Good lineup change. Amaya can hit 4th as well. Dansby at 8th behind PCA will give PCA lots of pitches swung and missed to steal 2nd LOL.
  11. Best defensive infielder in baseball, been better than Turner and Bogaerts at significantly less cost. Shifts a 4 WAR gold glove type SS to 2B. Good guy and leader, plays every day and a competitor. Winning all around.
  12. Lefty Byron Buxton (hopefully more healthy)?
  13. Good news is Phillies are 1 of 3 teams with a worse bullpen ERA than the Cubs. Cubs = 5.17 ERA, Phils = 5.56
  14. This day will live in infamy. Current MLB leaders in WAR:
  15. If it's legal it's bush-league. That's something that could get a fielder a ball in the booty next time he's at the plate.
  16. IMO Alex needs to be demoted to Iowa permanently. He's the only guy I switch on The Score for. I agree he sounds forced and trying too hard. He just needs to be himself. He and JD don't feed off each other at all.
  17. They should be very conservative with him on IP and pitch counts. He only pitched 34 ip last year and his body couldn't handle it.
