Horrific/dumb article

Cubs position player leaders in terms of fWAR this year were all drafted(or IFA signing) except Rizzo


Kris Bryant 6.7
Anthony Rizzo 4.0
Willson Contreras 3.2
Javier Baez 2.2
Ian Happ 1.8


Pitching, all players except Lester and Arrietta were either prospects or acquired with home grown draft assets

Jon Lester 2.7
Kyle Hendricks 2.5
Jake Arrieta 2.4
Jose Quintana 2.0
Mike Montgomery 1.3
Wade Davis 1.1

Troll harder/better


You can write the same kind of post when Eloy is leading the Sox to the World Series.


The only thing Eloy is going to lead, is the DL along with your last hero (Carlos Rodon)

So what are saying is that 0 out of the top 6 fWAR pitchers on the Cubs were not drafted by the Cubs.

In other words, every single one of those players was available by way of other than tanking.

If they arent tanking they dont sign Scott Feldman as the oft mocked (Flip gamble)and trade for Jake.
If they arent tanking they definitely dont trade Dempster for Hendricks
If they arent tanking they dont draft Bryant


Seems like those 3 guys helped.

It's sad that you guys stole "2016" from the White Sox and yet you won't just accept that "2016" is an answer to everything. Who cares how you won it all? You did.

Agreed. Injuries hurt them significantly.

This is just another situation that shows no matter what happens or does not happen with the Cubs dolphin is going to create a thread to mock them. I would say it is a pretty good likelihood he already has some threads queued up based on the different outcomes for this upcoming playoff.

Speaking of swinging and missing, I'm pretty sure this isn't the MLB section.

All of his MLB thoughts are garbage, he should be banned from any MLB thread til he pulls his head out of his ass. He's hands down the worst baseball poster here.

Should I ever invoke superiority over you, be assured that it is because every objective and subjective metric has indicated it is so, rather than a generalized prejudice.

It's great to be in the playoffs and not have to worry about this stuff.

You guys will get there someday too! We're rooting for you!

Sustained success......it is a reality, thanks to the drafting prowess of the Cubs, along with smart trades and some key free agent signings. They will need to address the significant potential loss of Arrieta and how they do that is going to be key. But the wimdow should be wide open for several more years.

I'm really happy for the Sox fans. They never seem quite so joyful as when the Cubs are doing well.

When are they going to bring that Juan Alqaeda prospect they got from Boston up? I'll bet he's going to be good.
