  1. Feeling a bit sick , the article and comments perked me up . As usual well thought out and intriguing.
  2. PD pieces are one of my reasons for subscribing here . Nice work .
  3. Awesome stuff, fits with the technical and mental points , that Bergman has been counseling him on .
  4. That he is as far down on the depth chart as prognosticators have him , Is an excellent sign for the Cubs ability to navigate the 162 game marathon .
  5. What are the pros and cons of an arm slot change , as specific to Browns arsenal.
  6. Well thought out response . I had similar thoughts . The Cubs continue to close the depth gap , while fielding 3 WAR players at most positions . The Author , clued us into this gap in depth , over a year ago . The Cubs organization has mitigated some weaknesses in a consistent and incremental fashion .
  7. Your pieces , elicit the same anticipation as the Wednesday Sporting News arrival did In my Youth . I use them as resources during the year .
  8. The gap between the Brewers and Cubs was rooted in PD . The depth of the Brewers 40 man and 26 man gave them an advantage every year . The Cubs have closed that gap to where the pitching Department ( Zombro Tread …) have improved via targeted acquisitions and maximized value, through specified development means , This has supplied usable pitching depth . Thr Position side had a record year with a myriad of 3 war players and now has a chance to have a bench that can sustain quality performances, over the 162 game grind . The Depth void is being filled and the work is ongoing .
  9. Is this the Deepest 40 man roster and group of minor league contact signings the cubs have pieced together , since HOF JM was the skipper ?
  10. Insightful and informative. Did not realize this had been implemented. I agree with your premise’s. I have thought for a bit , the budget was going to trail only . lA , the big Apples , and Tor and Philly . With a signing like Gallen ,being the lynchpin . Soild piece
  11. Solid analysis , spring Performance, Health and roster flexibility ( minor league options ) , will play a large part in the decision making process . Thoughtful, contextual work . We appreciate it .
  12. In a vacuum yes , but in this “ Development era” improvement surprises , could shake up the final grouping also .
  13. Peace be with you , and Zobrist junior is going to be bringing 3 plus WAR .
  14. Depth is huge to Counsell and Team . He could be critical piece . That is how team sees it .
  15. Good use of Shaw . 162 demands depth and versatility.
  16. Some interesting trade conjecture . I still think Shaw and Hoerner give positional strength for 162 , that would be difficult to lose .
  17. Last 3 third baseman , all under 5’10, interesting .
