Word is Keith Law downgraded his grade for Theo on this pick from A++ to A+

Yup. He contributed greatly to a World Series winning team.

I'm a big dumb shitlib baby

will trade Anderson, Rodon, Fulmer for him.

2016

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

Les Grobstein's huge hog is proof that God has a sense of humor, isn't it?

Can someone explain how the heck being sent off to face considerably less-talented pitchers for a while is going to 'Make Kyle Great Again' when he comes back to face Major League pitching?

Hey Bill, look, I can see you're struggling with your house-building skills, so what we're gonna do is send you back to the office for a few weeks to build some small-scale homes with Lincoln Logs, which will be much easier for you to deal with, and we figure it'll 'clear your head' and thus make you a better builder when we bring you back out into the field.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

I'm not interested in placing blame anywhere or on anyone. Schwarber should have been sent down earlier though without a doubt. That said..I heard Maddon in the pre-season when talking about Schwarber as lead off....He indicated he always gets stats and info from the front office, and that there was encouragement from the front office to put Schwarber at lead-off. So...it may not have been all Maddon's idea. Again...the move was obviously wrong, and the Cubs & Maddon played it out too long without making the obvious change. I get what you are indicating on Maddon...I just remember what Maddon was saying about getting info and encouragement to place Schwarber there.

Go Cubs!

He won't be an anchor and basically an automatic out in the MLB lineup. He also doesn't have to play the field all the time, as the minors has a DH.

You can take "again" out of your statement. He was never great. At his absolute best, he was a .240 hitter with power.

didn't Law express surprise at the pick?

The Cubs World Series has taken a lot out of dolphin.

If you thought my purpose of writing the phrase 'Making Kyle Great Again' was to indicate that I thought he was great before, then maybe Bob, et al, have a point.

And it wasn't long ago you were saying there would never be a championship.

I have never talked of multiple championships. I was very happy to win one. I hope they win more, but nothing is guaranteed.

I couldn't foresee the teams the Cubbies would play in the playoffs losing a major pieces. Congratulations on your luck!

Remember when it was laughable to suggest giving up Schwarber for Andrew Miller?

Mike Trout was once sent down. Last I checked he was pretty good once he came back.

Glad to see expectations for Schwarber have been tempered. It used to be comparisons to Babe Ruth, now we're down to Mike Trout.

oh for crying out loud...he was not comparing him to Trout, he was using Trout as an example of a really good player that had to go to the minors.
