Boog calling him P-WIZZY is just awful. They should both be punched in the groin when that happens, and someone should grab Taylor's tits for good measure.

Only Pat Hughes should be allowed to call him P-WIZZY.

I had high hopes for Boog but I think it's obvious he is more suited to a national broadcast without homer enthusiasm....especially when it feels forced.

You can't let Hosmer and Mancini get anymore at bats. Even Gomes/Barnhart are outhitting them.

Do you want them to never sign a FA again? Nobody will sign with them on a 1- or 2-year deal if they are going to be glued to the bench after 18 games, several of which were in shitty weather.

I realize that you are obviously smarter than any MLB GM, but give this a little more thought for the longer term implications.

Hosmer is owed three years and $39 million by the Padres (minus the Cubs 720k major league minimum). He's a prime candidate to be released if he stuggles. The Cubs wouldn't look bad benching then down the road releasing a major league minimum salary player.

I thought going into spring training that they should give Morel a chance to claim 3rd base. Wisdom just had too much swing and miss. I liked his defense, particularly the arm. He runs the bases well and has plenty of pop, but just a whole lot of strikeouts. But I think perhaps the Cubs have their 3rd baseman. Wisdom is making contact more consistently and covering pitches on the outer half and at the upper quadrant of the strike zone. He is showing more confidence and for good reason. Love the early returns.

Wisdom getting moved around to get Madrigal playing time strikes me as dumb. Wisdom belongs at 3rd. Full time.

They gave Happ the day off today. Wisdom is the 4th OF on this roster.

I really thought that 3rd base was a position the Cubs needed to address. When you decide to try Nick Madrigal there, it seems certain you need to look for someone to man the hot corner. But Wisdom is KILLING it. Not ready just yet to declare him any kind of cornerstone, but perhaps they have 3rd base squared away?

Man it's waaaay too early. He's hot now but let's see what happens when the league finds the holes in his swing again. I don't believe much of what I see until June. The cubs aren't this good, the Sox aren't this bad.

Seems right don't it?
