    Time to find alternate employment, it seems. Or, keep him around as a mop-up pitcher hoping he improves late in the season again. But there will become lots of pitchers to fill roster spots in the next few weeks, if they don't keep getting injured.

    Thank you. As for Ramirez' weight, I think fat is overrated.
  3. Arlen
    Why is that?
  4. Arlen
    A-hem Matt Shaw.
  5. Arlen
    Zackly. Remember, remember, those days in September...
  6. Arlen
    Trade him and free up that payroll. Use Shaw, or Shaw and Ramirez.

    As you so likely know, SimLeague Baseball doesn't provide this season's players till after the season and it is far from perfect, but it is quite good and I think it will provide a more accurate result.

    Nice article. Try the knuckleball, Shota! Come on! ;-`

    Bethancourt's 2024 with the Cubs was pretty tremendous in both primary phases. He deserved consistent opportunities last year, preferably again with the Cubs. Raw numbers don't tell all the story, thank you.
  11. Arlen
    Just by the looks of him focusing and springing that swing, I bet he will cut down on strikeouts enough to hit the bigs bigly. (Now watch the trade rumors by bloggers and pundits.... yearning for 30 year old or contract-season stars.) #eyeroll

    Why is this comment showing up here?
  13. Arlen
    Did you tell your classmate that visible stars are from 4.4 to 15,000 light years away? #JustAsking In this age when pitchers are coached to blow their arms out, along with other body parts, what pitcher isn't a big gamble? (Mike Marshall, where are you?)

    Can anyone explain why Christian Bethancourt is not in the big leagues?
  15. Arlen
    Yes... seems the Cubs' current RBI leader has a BA under .200. And we don't have anyone named Chris Davis on the team, bless the hearts of each man..
  16. Arlen
    Psst. It would be so nice if you used actual black letters in your typeface, and thicker.

    Should I say it again? I don't think the Cubs should have spend all that money to Bregman to watch him likely decline over the years, per how most ballplayers perform. Yes, Matt Shaw should be playing full time at third base.
  18. Arlen
    Yes, and Shaw and for that matter, Ramirez have a lot of upside... plus a minor leaguer or two that can play third.
  19. Arlen
    Bregman outlay looks unnecessary. Not surprised.
  20. Arlen
    Ethan Roberts being sent down. What are they trying to do? I trust not, wreck him.
  21. Arlen
    And Rea is healthy! Maybe he didn't get the shots.
  22. Arlen
    I maintained from the start that with Matt Shaw at 3B, spending big, long-term money on Bregman was wasteful.
  23. Arlen
    If you added the prospect presumed to come to the bigs this season, the Cubs have an entire 5-man rotation injured, and a fine one that that. Justin Steele Matthew Boyd Cade Horton Jordan Wicks Jaxon Wiggins

    I caught that comment and I'm going to leave it hanging out there. Not pulling it into the comment zone. ;-`
  25. Arlen
    Trading Webb right away might be a fine idea.
