We sacrificed Palka and Yolmer but it was worth it.

Good call. The little talent Yolmer had left must’ve been transferred to Yoan for the greater good.

If Moncada could field, he'd be a poor man's Baez.

Tim Anderson is another player that surpassed Baez this year. You’re struggling.

Yep.

The left side of the Sox infield is FAR SUPERIOR.

We’re like a month away from me actually feeling bad for Cub fans. There desperation is already showing as they see the winds of change blowing.

Tim Anderson is another player that surpassed Baez this year. You’re struggling.

Per Joe Sheehan from his Bernstein and McKnight appearance and Bernstein's column:

"Anderson's peak is going to be as a 4-to-5 win player...He's not someone who is going to be one of the five best players on a championship team, but he's going to be part of that next group of players that really puts the team over the top."

Anderson seems to have an ability to make people talk out of both sides of their mouth. He's got great range and a strong arm, but a cement glove. He's got good power for his position and hits for a decent average but strikes out a ton and doesn't walk. Now it seems that Joe Sheehan is also afflicted. If he's a four to five win player wouldn't he just about have to be one of the top 5 players on a good team?

Anyone who says he has a cement glove just doesn’t watch him play, full stop. That’s not where his defensive shortcomings come from. He’s already made one of the best catches of the season by any player.

If you think Fox is a star right now you have an embarrassingly low bar for “star”.

You said he will be the best PG in the NBA by 2020. If you stand by that opinion then don’t ever talk to me about credibility again. :lol:

Not shitting you. FF is on a great run. Almost as good as the left side of the Sox infield.

Keep up.

Hopefully the Cubs get their shit together. I start a simple thread praising Moncada and Cub fans start immediately tripping over themselves to dismiss it and embarrass themselves. I guess it’s what happens when a window closes.

If the season ended this weekend, Tim Anderson is the MVP of the AL, Yelich for the NL.

Hopefully we'll have to. I've never rooted against him.

I'm suddenly a little more positive about the Sox. Just let Anderson, Moncada, and Jimenez move forward. That's all I'd ask for this season.

Agree with 90% of this.

I also ask for Giolito and Lopez to move forward, along with Rodon starting at least 28 games.

Best player in the city is Lester. It's been Lester since he joined the Cub.
