I have a 3 week old. "Son, it may not seem like a big deal now that the Cubs have won 7 out of the last 10 World Series, but I promise you, it was huge back in 2016." Eta: hammel in a 9-0 win over the Reds. Eta: my son, not me.

I love NSBB!

I get what you are saying, but I don't see Bryce becoming a 1b anytime soon. I just think Bryce is the better hitter and that ages better. Bryce was slightly better last year. They are pretty close this year so far. As a side note, Trout is already a pretty average defensive CF. Most of his positive dWAR comes from his play on the corners. They are the two best players of this generation. Like I said, I'm not sure there is really a wrong answer but I'd take Harper moving forward. Edit- maybe I'm an idiot with dWAR but the biggest difference between the two players is the positional adjustment between Trout who mostly plays cf and Harper who mostly plays RF. Their numbers prior to the adjustment are not that far apart. Bryce in a very limited sample has also held up fine in CF. I'm not sure the defensive gap between the two of them is as large as their dWAR suggests. JMO, Harper could handle CF if a franchise threw him out there everyday. ---- I wonder if there's a "where there is smoke there is fire" situatuon brewing with Trout? I do not think that idiom means what you think it means.

David Ross is awesome and deserves his own thread
Bull replied to Cubfanintheknow's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Unless you are willing to carry 24 for a maybe, no. Aside: Quick glance is that median salaries are lower than I suggested but Cs are still cheaper than the others. He's saying Ross is not on the 25 man roster. Then schwarbers rehab goes bad, and Contreras gets hurt, then you add Ross to the 25 man (and ostensibly the 40 man). I would think that it would take a 60 day dl stint to 2 of Montero, schwarber, and Contreras to make it cross Theos mind. Cubfro should be banned for thinking such perverse thoughts. -

Bingo. I somehow missed where raw action non-committedly mused on trading Montero, and I was having trouble understanding why people were even talking about it. You take what you get from Ross and don't expect anything but him making Lester happy. The real question is: what happens to Lester next year? Will he be happy with Contreres? Montero? Schwarber? Do you pick up a defensive specialist in the offseason? Questions for another day, I suppose. -
Why can't I give more than one post love to this perfect post?

I hope you used the wrong preposition here.

All joking aside, I really do think Heyward and Soler both warm up with the weather.
-
HR/FB ratios are not crazy predictive. Soler's has a decent chance of going up, especially when the wind blows out. And he's not cold. The man is freezing. Give the man a freaking parka!
-
Did he ever develop another pitch? #onepitchrich

Warm day today= outfielders get it going. Dongs by Soler and Heyward. Somebody post that chart again, plz Wow, I take it back. Usually Chicago is 5-10 degrees cooler than my location. High here today is 82, 58 in Chicago.

Read this with a cockney accent.

Wow, sorry I thought it was understood not to take anything I say TOO seriously. I mean it, but mostly tongue in cheek. Theo obviously prefers a certain mold that Javy doesn't fit. I also believe part the greatness of this team is the cumulative effect of a whole line-up of patient hitters knocking a pitcher with his best stuff out in the fourth inning without scoring any runs off him. I also understand that 1 player doesn't COMPLETELY derail that scenario on a given day. I also understand that Theo will make this team better (according to his mold) if an opportunity presents itself, and that won't necessarily include trading Javy, and would only happen at his peak value. Also understand that there may be just a little hubris involved in "tearing it down to the studs" (pun intended; TM). But mostly I was trying to make a funny.

thing I love about this team #462: overworked relief pitchers in Iowa get called up, rather than overworked RP on the big club being sent down. (Also, the relief pitcher with the most appearances in Iowa is their closer)
-
See, that's what I've been hoping for, and it's kinda why the Zobrist signing was a "meh" for me. I'm worried Baez is never going to get a real shot with us and then we'll end up trading him. For Adam warren. Previous regime guys are superfluous to the master plan. Someone help me remember... when Theo was recruiting someone (Joe?, lester?) there was a "2016 projected lineup" that included Heyward in the pitch. Was Baez in it? Fuzzy memory details may be all wrong.

I love how Nathan can't even believe the call.
-
He gets on base at a ridiculous rate. What else do you need to know?

Neil Ramirez to Bereavement List; Spencer Patton Recalled
Bull replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
His 1 loss and 10 (what's the opposite of a hold, making the deficit worse) got the Cubs Baez. -
what christian rapper is that he's listening too? dc talk? DC Talk? Is this from 1994?

i do not consider this to be true this is insulting; for his career, Russell is +21 UZR/150, better than every other SS in baseball during that span...yes, Javy might theoretically make for a better SS except for all the errors he would sure to make PlusPlus hands

No, awkward cousin hanging with the crew,or going into a club, or a backroom deal and zobrist is the new guy. "He's cool, he's with me" vouching for the new guy kinda deal. So now he's Donnie Brasco? Or Mr. Orange? DAMMIT, WHY IS THIS SO DIFFICULT. Yeah, he might be a cop.
