And what's worse, there's still considerable downside with him if I'm reading right that he has nearly a .400 BABIP.

yes because they pitch around him to get to the pitcher. My teams are giving me ulcers.

Anthony Rizzo, since getting moved to the lead off spot is 15-27 with 8 walks in 8 games and has raised his average from .236 to .262, although the power hasn't returned yet. The Cubs coincidentally have won 6 of 8 and taken over first place in the NL Central. So, Rizzo may be leading off for a while longer. With Baez suddenly having an MVP type year, the Cubs don't really have an urgent need for Rizzo in the middle of the lineup.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

David Bote is getting some plate time this year resulting in a .943 OPS. On the Cubs, it's understandable that a 3B option lacks sunlight, but this seems a bit much. If he hits anything like this he seems to have viable OF defense. Is that bat really that good or is it small sample size?
Here is the Fangraph prospect paragraph:
David Bote, UTIL, 1.7 KATOH – Bote hit .272/.353/.438 at Double-A Tennessee in 2017 and capped his year with an impressive Arizona Fall League. Scouts are buying the bat. Bote generates most of his thump with his lower half, and he’s capable of driving the ball deep into all parts of the outfield. He lacks a position. Bote has seen time at all seven non-catcher positions throughout his career but doesn’t have the hands for the infield or the straight-line speed for center field. He fits best in an outfield corner, but once you start putting that kind of pressure on the bat, the 24-year-old’s 14 home runs at Double-A this year start to feel quite fringey. Some scouts think he’ll make it work as a bat-first bench option.
Is he another Willie Calhoun?

After three months of uncertainty and false hope, the Cubs announced today that Yu Darvish is done for the year. Do the Cubs now use the same doctors as the Mets?“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

What is the prognosis for 2019? Darvish is 32 years old but still racks the Ks. Can he get an ERA under 4.00 in 2019?

The remedy being applied is rest and according to Epstein that his TJ surgery from 2015 shows no damage ligament-wise. What I didn't read was how long does he need to rest.Originally posted by onejayhawk View PostComment

My issue is why the Cubs haven't put him on the 60 day DL. I would get $33 in Fabb money if they did. Our last Faab is Wednesday. I don't know what they are waiting for.Originally posted by pitbull View PostComment
