Archie was right about FDR running for a third term. Many people thought the same thing back in the day :

He definitely is not the nuclear option.

I don't get all the board hate for Strop.

Is he a little to walkie? Sure. Is he a little to HR-ie? Sure.

That said, his ERAs as a Cub have been 2.83, 2.21, 2.91, 2.85, and this season he sits at 3.72. It wouldn't shock me to see him near or below the 3.00 mark at the end of the year. He's been relatively healthy save for a blip last season.

Is he the guy you want closing out games? Nope. But that's not his job. He's your 3rd or 4th best bullpen arm. And if that's his role, he has been really productive.

He's also got a playoff ERA as a Cub of about 2.50 if you care about shit like that.

He's done all this right at, or below, league average salary.
