I can't wait until he's pictured at Sidetrack.

Still an excellent hitter though he's nowhere near what he's been the past two seasons. Also, a horrendous defensive player.

UPDATE 3: In the midst of the flurry of updates, I feel compelled to note that, three years ago, Murphy told the world that he disagreed with the “gay lifestyle,” and those comment were rightly ill-received. It is unequivocally unacceptable to suggest that gay men and women are simply deciding to live a gay lifestyle. They are who they are. Period. Murphy has supposedly broadened his thinking since then – thanks to MLB’s Ambassador for Inclusion Billy Bean – but I’m going to want to hear it directly from Murphy.

oh,brother :roll:

The man who brought the Cubs down in 2015. Maybe when he walks in the clubhouse,they beat the shit out of him.

His defense is gonna make us rage. He has the worst range in the league. Best bat on the team now though.

He has a good bat but his OPS is 134 points lower than last season and 201 points lower than 2 seasons ago.

He was not fully healthy when they activated him, he struggled a bit at first. OPS of .943 over last 28 days.

Merlot Joe is the master of using different pieces. Itll work out. Always does.

I think so. I'd guess Baez to 3rd and then SS and Addy bench when Bryant comes back. Where does Zobrist play? He's been our most consistent hitter all season. You already have a rotation of Happ, Schwarber and Almora.

Like KD insinuated, im guessing Bryant is not coming back this year. Hope I'm wrong.

Has there been something said about this or just basing it off this move?

My first thought was Addy's hand injury is a lot worse than they've shared.

The KB thought is very scary.

It would be more about Addy's injury than Bryant's. Last reported, his rehab has been going well so I wouldn't worry about it guys. He will be back by the 1st unless something goes horribly wrong.

I think this signing is more about scoring 4 runs in 4 games vs bum pitching.

Bryant at 3B, Baez SS, Murphy 2B. And Heyward/Schwarber/Zobrist/Almora in the outfield. Heyward can play CF on some days. No more Happ and Russell please.

I think there is a subsequent trade in the works involving Bote and Caratini for Scherzer.

Russell can't keep getting place appearances. Either he is hurt or the league has figured him out, or both. Put him on the bench for defensive purposes, or put him on the DL and stick Baez at short.

Except nowhere in that article does it say the author hates the move.

Just curious, why make that comment when the link you posted leads to the very article you mischaracterized.

Odd.
