MexSoxFan#1 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 07:37 PM) Arrieta will regress, Lester in overrated and Price not a real good postseason pitcher.............Cubs guys could have Sophomore slumps and win 80 games. Cubs being good on paper means nothing. And it's not like the Cubs are the only talented young team out there. The Astros might be better next year. The Cubs being perennial contenders is absolutely not a given... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Tizzle Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Oct 21, 2015 -> 07:57 PM) Pass I'd consider it if we were able to add another piece. Cheap, power hitting LH bat with plate discipline is what we need. His splits against LH's are worrisome, but overall he's an immediate DH upgrade over Laroche. The problem is, we need more than a one for one deals to improve this team. ANY deal for our pitchers should bring atleast two ML players back in return, or several good prospects close to the majors Edited October 22, 2015 by Flash Tizzle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Schwarber is basically a 1-tool player? He has no defensive value, strikes out a lot, and can't hit LHP for s***, something we already really suck at. He has had a good playoffs but was bad the last 6 weeks of the season. Quintana is really good, I'm not trading him for a one dimensional DH.

Quintana is really good, I'm not trading him for a one dimensional DH. And so are LaRoche, Cabrera, Abreu and Avi Garcia. The problem is we have no lefty power threat (see Melky Cabrera, who's now more of a 2 hitter) and haven't since 2009 in Thome (unless you count Dunn from 2012-2014). Compare that to the Royals, with Hosmer, Moustakas, Morales and Zobrist (switch-hitters), Gordon (although he might be gone). On the other hand, multi-dimensional players like Alex Gordon, Cespedes and Heyward will cost you a mint. Justin Upton and Chris Davis also will, although they're flawed players, too. Even second and third tier guys like Parra or Dexter Fowler aren't cheap. Does anyone believe spending X amount of money on Parra or Fowler will get us close to .500? Let's say Cabrera moves to DH, LaRoche is dumped and Parra, Eaton and Fowler was your new OF. Still not seeing that team anywhere close to .500 with 3b, SS, 2B and catching issues. Maybe with nearly 100% health again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
