Should the Cubs Call Up Catcher Owen Ayers in September?
Victor Reichman replied to Jason Ross's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Excellent article. Discussing both pro and con and then coming to a conclusion. Thanks. -
Assad has come to the rescue for the Cubs with their injured pitching. He never should have been sent down again. Cabrera is a total bust and a worthless pickup at least so far.
-
Article undervalues what Ramirez' offense can gain, esp. with playing almost everyday.
-
I am totally against giving up good prospects for rental players. I like the reliever, but all the rest are rentals. How did we do with Tucker, not that anybody really wants him now with his mad money
-
Glad we didn't fall into the Skubal trap. A 2 month rental in exchange for several top prospects. He will pig up a payroll when he hits free agency.
-
It appears that the Cubs are unlikely to win the division. This puts them squarely with many other teams in the Wild Card position, where they now sit comfortably. However, I wouldn't give up any top prospect for a rental. We made that mistake with Tucker. If it's someone with club control, that's a different scenario. If they were on top of their division, it could have been different.

Bregman has changed from being a strictly pull hitter to using the entire field. His home run to right proved this point. He had the comfort of the short porch at Houston and the LF wall in Boston. The Cubs down the line are 353 and 355, actually more than most parks. It is wise that he will expand to RF, much as Hoerner does.
-
Hard NO on Soler. We have better bench players in Ramirez, Shaw, Triantos and whomever isn't catching.
-
Dean Kremer of Baltimore as Balt won't make playoffs and he won't be expensive. Not a top tier pitcher but has good stuff.

Cubs Trade For Beleagured Starter Aaron Civale
Victor Reichman replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I still like Dean Kremer of Baltimore. Baltimore is a very long shot to get a playoff slot. Not a frontline starter, but really good stuff. -
Trading Matt Shaw will haunt us in the future. I would have preferred his near minimum salary to paying $175 mil for Bregman, a good player, but who cost us a small fortune. Between the two, I would take Shaw. His fielding is excellent as is Bregman's. Shaw's speed is 2nd only to PCA. He hit 10 Hr in the 2nd half last year. He needs to play a lot more and can play every IF position and likely every OF position. Huge mistake if he is traded. Whoever said his fielding wasn't excellent, didn't watch nearly every Cub game as I did.

Hard pass on the 2 relievers mentioned first. They don't project better than what we already have, which isn't great.

Both Hoyer and the GM have to accept responsibility for the unnecessary signing for big money of Bregman. Normally., a good player, but we had a young 3B in Shaw who was inexpensive and hit 10 Hr in the second half. He fielded his position superbly and his speed is 2nd only to PCA. Now with this inane contract, 32 yr. Bregman signed for another 4 1/2 yrs. He blocks that position from Shaw and Ramirez and can't expect to get much better. That massive contract should have been used on pitching.
-
We are playing Baltimore starting tomorrow. On Wed. Dean Kremer is supposed to pitch for the O's. We should try to obtain him before that start. He isn't a top of rotation arm, but is good enough to be in our rotation now. O's have almost no chance to make the playoffs.and the price shouldn't be that high/
-
A better option than all of the above is Dean Kremer of Baltimore who have little chance of making the playoffs
