With this regime the person responsible for most of the good draft picks is the guy before Theo. The draft and development of this regime has been atrocious. Look at the Dodgers. They draft in the late first round every single year and they have prospects flowing out of their ass year in and year out.

Hendry was a great GM. He would have done better FA wise than this group. Baez was his pick let us not forget.


and Contrearas

arguably the two most key pieces on this team

I also think he would have been able to Bryant, as he was the clear pick at that spot



if u think Bully Hendry was so great, please also respond to this thread:

ok, what hot prospect did the cubs have to play RF or CF at the level Heyward has? None. Or, who could/would they have targeted in free agency they could afford or desire to sign long term in the years since? there aren't many.



its amazing how people are stupid and lose sight of things.

YOU STUPID SHIT, THEY HAD SOLER AFTER A SUPERB 2015 SEASON, AND THEY DESTROYED HIS CAREER BY SIGNING HEYWARD.

If someone can't see how well Heyward is swinging the bat and making blistering contact right now...I'm not sure what you could say. He is squaring up balls.

.775 OPS in June is "blistering"
.882 OPS in June is "light hitting"

Shocking that you haven't found that front office gig yet, IMU.

Someone doesn't know that batted balls can be caught for outs... shhh, no one tell him.

Was .091 in late or close situations earlier this week and it's probably worse now.

There is no way to know who voted for Jason Heyward. Braves fans, I bet.

He shouldn't even be considered to be the all star bat-boy until he refunds about half his salary to the cubs for stealing from them for all these years

.415 slugging is the definition of light hitting.

Especially in a power position.

He's been having short spurts where he looks great all year. Then, it's much longer periods of being horrible. That's why he's the Jay Hey kid. He'll break your heart.

Heyward is hitting .282/.378/.462 over the last month. As I've said, ignorant Cubs fans.

Last 30 days .236 .325 .368 not including today's crap performance.
Hes barely got a positive war and I'm pretty sure I saw a negative dwar last time I checked which was supposed to be his strong suit. After a very hot may and a couple good games in June his numbers are pretty bad and dont justify a starting spot on a team trying to win in a solid division.

That is his last 30 games. Not the past month.

And now if we go with his last 30 games

.304/.388/.461 for an .849 OPS.

14 walks to only 20 strikeouts.
