Right now,Josh Harrison (Pirates) & this Justin Bour from the Marlins would have looked pretty good in Cub uniforms. I'm not blaming anybody though because all teams have guys like this playing well for someone else.

You calm down. His stat's measure up pretty well against most of the current Junior Cubs.

In reverse, Fergie Jenkins and Ryne Sandberg.

People always say about Brock being worst trade ever but these 2 trades are equally as bad.

I was mad about Dontrelle Willis for a while, but he flamed out pretty quickly.

Look at his stats against LHP.

He has never had more than 410 AB in a season.

He is a butcher at first. That is why they switch him out in late innings.

He hit two home runs against the Cubs. That doesn't make a career.

No one wants Bour over Rizzo.

Bour is having a nice little run, but he has no place on the Cubs right now.

he was kinda like hideo nomo; once people figured out a way around the wind up hijinx, they realized there wasn't much more behind it. but while he was dominant he was fun to watch. except against the cubs.

According to Bernstein the other day, Brock is the worst player in the Hall of Fame. The way he said it, you'd think Brock was a bum who never amounted to anything. DB's defense of the Cubs apparently extends to their front office from 50 years ago.

Typically, my Sox fan brethren wanted him out as a piece of shit worthless "guy".

Remember everyone lamenting Chris Archer? 7-17 this year. Good shot to lose 20. I'm sure the metrics will show he should be 17-7 but just doesn't get any run support .

Well, on almost any other team he wouldn't be 7-17, that is for sure. His ERA+ is 98...just about league average. Mix that in with a bad Rays offense and you have a pitcher who would be a couple games under .500.

I'd be trying to buy low.
