If only Heyward and almora could be Palka

Heyward has 26 HRs over 1500 ABs as a Cub.

Palka hit 27 last year in 400 at bats.

Not everyone can be an elite .240 hitter. No doubt impressive

As a casual follower of the sport I thought the modern consensus was that BA doesn't matter. Is that wrong?

Correct as long as the OBP is good...Palka is .294

Clayton Kershaw had a fuckin .340 obp this year, btw. Crazy.

Slugging .484 which is good and brings the obp to a not that bad .778

I did not call Palka elite. I merely pointed out severe the lack of power from the guy you brought up.

Heyward has a .252 batting avg as a Cub. Great speech giver, though.

Definitely worth the $290 million then.

Wasn't he their best outfielder this season?

Probably. Some might say Almora?

Well, that's the typical fan. They want Almora to play everyday until he does play everyday and then they'll understand why he wasn't playing everyday.

No. I still want him to play every day.

He was dealing with a wife in the third trimester of a pregnancy when his hitting really cooled down. Navigating those hormone fluctuations are enough to distract the strongest among us.

He's an upgrade over every outfielder the Cubs have except Heyward.

I did. And you'll see that he is. He was a fucking rookie last year.
