  1. That’s true, assuming Bellestaros mashes. The 4.2 fWAR and 110 wRC+ from the catcher position is likely a blimp though. I’m not sure which PCA will show up either. I hope the second half slump was stabilizing to the mean rather than a trend. To a much lesser degree of course.
  2. People don’t talk about that enough. That and letting Todd Collins and with his 0 passer rating sub for Cutler and waste a few drives is another thing drove me nuts.
  3. Would’ve been nice if they signed Bregman last year to cash in on their 1 year with Tucker.
  4. Suzuki will end the season with around a 130 wRC+ where he always is.
  5. Way to go out on a high note Aaron.
  6. Because some players have a preference. Assuming he doesn’t then he’ll be a valuable DH option in spots.
  7. Loveland now has more receiving yards on the season in equivalent games despite spending the first 6 games behind Kmet on the depth chart.
  8. I wonder if there’s a clause in his contract that requires playing X amount of games at third base. DHing vs lefties with Shaw in the lineup and starting at third base seems logical if they keep all 4.
  9. Having better depth options and a healthy Assad+Cabrera means 15 less starts from Ben Brown. Also a major addition by subtraction. Unless anyone believes he was worth 1 fWAR.
  10. You can pencil in at least 3.5 more wins from third base in 26. Last year Cubs third baseman had a cumulative 0 fWAR.
  11. We don’t win without Loveland’s game breaking talent either. He’s that dude we haven’t really had since Brandon Marshall and he’s only 21.
  12. Biggest Bears win since the NFC championship and yet I have to fast forward to the final 4 minutes of the highlight video because everything before 10 PM sucked.
  13. One thing you have to give Jed is he rarely if ever gives out bad multi year contracts. I trust his judgement on this especially with how risk averse he is. And as someone who’s criticized for never “getting his guy” he finally muscled up.
  14. This is what came to mind. Jed loves year to year to consistently and players who are well rounded hitters and fielders. He’s the type I’d bet Jed sees as getting a sure handed return on his investment. The rest makes sense too.
  15. What are your thoughts on why Bregman was Jed’s guy?
  16. I’m guessing it has to do with Bregmans consistency and a sure bet to play up his contract, He’s been a lock for over fWAR his entire career and is well rounded as a hitter and fielder. Right up Jed’s alley.
  17. Bregman has a higher career OPS on the road. His OPS was 114 points higher away from Fenway last season.
  18. It was almost as clever as the Kmet handoff vs the Browns.
  19. They need help everywhere. Look at how slow they are.
  20. He doesn’t know what he’s seeing. That’s what it looks like anyways.
  21. No. Mason Rudolph, Shadeur sanders and JJ McCarthy made them look mediocre. The last 4 games have been a big reality check. Problem is all the free agent talent and high draft picks were invested into the offense and they’ve been nearly shutout again in the first half.
