    This guy’s awesome. Unlike Cubs dude this guy even invented his own stat whereas cubs dude was all talk no action when it came to being an intellectual heavyweight. Fangraphs will add a fourth run value category for EFV2B if they catch wind of this.
  2. Geographyhater8888
    They have the option of plugging a more refined Shaw into the everyday lineup. Last season it was between Shaw and Berti for whatever that’s worth.
  3. Geographyhater8888
    He’d have to be borderline unplayable to not make the opening day roster since DH is his spot to lose. Shaw was putrid and was still in the opening day lineup.
  4. Geographyhater8888
    For now on walks are effective singles.
  5. Geographyhater8888
    With all due respect, Sabermetrics are complicated enough. It took me a while to accept and apply fancy stats like WRC+, WOBA and FIP. Effective 2B (EFV28) is information overload. Let’s pump the breaks for now.

    Great spot to tailgate at least.
  7. Geographyhater8888
    He can be 300 Ibs and still rake if that cheater Bregman lets him borrow his buzzer when he’s at bat.
  8. Geographyhater8888
    It did seem generous.
  9. Geographyhater8888
    Just to add to that he’s only listed at 195 lbs.
  10. Geographyhater8888
    Mo will likely always be around 20% body fat? That’s a healthy range for for him. For PCA 15% would be relatively chunky. No amount of dieting and conditioning will get give him a visible six pack with his frame. .
  11. Geographyhater8888
    That’s what I’m thinking. I’m guessing players would be either be benched, demoted to Pawtucket and or have their buzzer wearing privileges taken away if they refused to publicly speak out in favor of Bregman as a favor to Cora’s cheater in crime entering free agency. The Redsox are at Cora’s mercy.
  12. Geographyhater8888
    I didn’t know that. I stand corrected. What matters though is he had $5 billion to finance SoFi stadium with.
  13. Geographyhater8888
    They might want to sell some private shares if they want more funding.
  14. Geographyhater8888
    Thanks. The only thing I have to add is that the McCaskys are Beverly hillbillies whose only source of income comes from owning an NFL team. Of course they want funding from the state in some form. Kronkie is a self made billionaire too, I’m also curious why they’d chose a toxic wasteland to build a stadium in Hammond. Unless it’s adjacent to a major highway is it the optics of being in walking distance of the Chicago border? I just imagine Fox coming back from commercial with an Ariel view of wolf lake with a close up of a guy in a hazmat suit collecting water samples from wolf lake outside of the tide detergent done

    It looks like an image shot in norilsk Russia.

    I won’t pretend to know horsefeathers. What are the Bears asking for from the state of Illinois out of curiosity?
  17. Geographyhater8888
    What gives you the impression that the cubs don’t already have these programs in place?
  18. Geographyhater8888
    It’s a pain in the ass of a location for anyone north of the city. Either way it’s not like they’re moving to Kentucky. Hammond is right across the street from the city anyways. You won’t smell the rotten eggs in a closed air stadium either so not the end of the world. Bad look for Illinois though.
  19. Geographyhater8888
    99% of Busch’s regression will be because Miles Mikolas is no longer on the Cardinals.
  20. Geographyhater8888
    It’d be great if Brown improves his command and can become a viable replacement for Keller.
  21. Geographyhater8888
    Bregman has more career homers and a higher OPS away from Houston and Boston. His OPS was 114 points higher away from Fenway. He’s not the type of the hitter than benefits from short dimensions on his pull side like Peredes or Bellinger.
  22. Geographyhater8888
    87 grade for a B+.Jed did about as good as we realistically thought. Jed made a big statement signing Bregman too in the manner that he did so he gets credit there. He took no half measures with the bullpen, (ensured that it won’t suck at least) added more upside to the rotation by trading for Cabrera. This is the most well rounded and complete cubs team on paper since 2018??? It does seem like this teams super high floor is way too close to its ceiling with the lack of any true high end talent. Can’t give the offseason an A with Tucker walking either. Shotas QO horsefeathered up their payroll flexibility too. They have enough high AAV safe pitchers. I’m intrigued by a rotation with a healthy Cabrera, Horton and Steele. That’s basically their ticket to a deep playoff run. Shota, Taillon and Rae are nice insurance options for $48 million but that’s $48 million that wasn’t used on Tucker or Devin Williams or cease. Etc on the flip side they’ll keep our fragile arms fresh for September/October and allow them to skip starts. That’s an elite backend rotation though and I Like our chances vs anyone in a best of 15 playoff series.
  23. Geographyhater8888
    I like Shaw’s range but should I worry about his arm in right field? .
  24. Geographyhater8888
    Bellestaros lacks positional flexibility so I’m guessing Jed likes his higher contact rate relative to Cassie and they’ll give him reps at catcher where his bat will be very useful.
  25. Geographyhater8888
    Since outfield is a bigger question mark after 2026, was Cassie moved simply because that’s who Miami requested or because of, and or a combination of the Cubs prioritizing players who can make consistent contact? Cassie strikes out a ton so I’m curious if Jed had a preference for Bellestaros the entire time.
