You've had another rough day.
-
Did you already take down your Cubs aquire Detmers article?
-
You sure about that?
-
Such a sad sate of affairs pitching wise that this otherwise mediocre talent merits an article. Cubs org is an absolute pitching desert.
-
Id trade him in a NY second if I thought he might bring even an inkling of controllable pitching. His batted ball metrics remain abysmal despite the convenient small sample size. He is bad at fielding despite the media narrative creaming over his supposed versatility which fails to make up for his putrid baseball IQ. Im quite certain hes the dumbest player I've seen play for the cubs since Ryan Theriot

When you consider the putrid history of this franchise its not that shocking that his season ranks among the the franchise best .

Oh you sweet sweet summer child.

There were like 29 teams waiting to swoop in and steal Jed from Ricketts last year. Thank God the billionaire son born on third base had the foresight to extend him before those nefarious goons could . Same could be said for his pitching guru from the Indians who no one has any idea of what he does. Cooper Higgins? Hawthorne? Whatever that alleged GM's name is.

Hes a guy. Thats really it. MLB history is littered with garbage back up catchers.
-
U didn't even mention his disappointing defense or beyond abysmal base running. I never paid much attention to this guy , kinda thought of him as Ian Happ type of player, fungible at best. I had absolutely no idea he was this unathletic. His paper makes him Heywardish when considering how Ricketts and Hoyer operate. This will leave a scar that lingers.

Will The Cubs Turn It Around?
tornmeniscus replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in North Side Baseball Front Page News
Depends if I u consider contending for the 3rd wild card slot in an extremely watered down mlb as " turning it around ?" Keep in mind they continue to outspend their division rivals by about a 2:1 ratio. -
There was literally zero reason to extend Hoyer. There was no chance of another team swooping in to scoop him up. The Brewers are such a better organization from top to bottom its boggles the mind, there is no standard of metrics from which this team measures up to .Milwaukee. Despite more than twice the resources and a decade of far less success. The cubs are indeed the little brothers of Matt Arnold and company.

Paralysis by analysis thats what this article and site is. Get a real job , its not that hard. Hes a middling player and everyone knows it.
-
His defense and complete lack of speed warrants a deeper dive than his offense. Hes been horrible on defense and the basepaths. I had no idea he was this unathletic . Im about done with his six steps and a poor weak ass throw on routine plays. This contract is not looking good.

Easily your best article . Although I'd point out that you yourself are probably the biggest purveyor of an " analytics darling."
