My favorite teams
Biff part 2?
I think Morel is gonna be slated for third. If Belly is signed (I'd say 95% chance of it) this allows Belly to play CF/1b again and allows the Cubs to float the DH around to whoever is not in the field.
Well the new coach seems to think he is good enough as he literally said he wants to use him at 3b all year.Not going to happen. His 3B D has been graded as poor

For first base, 95% of the ball handling is a throw right at them. It is only the 5% we need to worry about. IMO, not a horrible things to worry about.You can get by with it at third.....the guy at first handles the ball more than any other infielder playing behind the pitcher. A questionable defender there is just begging for trouble.
you say that now....just wait till Morel is sailing throws all around the first baseman this year lolFor first base, 95% of the ball handling is a throw right at them. It is only the 5% we need to worry about. IMO, not a horrible things to worry about.
A mediocre glove at 1B makes everyone in the infield a little bit worse.....if they don't sign Belly or if they do and he falls back into the player he was a couple of years ago, they will not be scoring runs like they did last year. Plus now your infield D just took a hit....that's a lot of pressure on a pitching staff that I'd hardily call elite.you say that now....just wait till Morel is sailing throws all around the first baseman this year lol
Stop digging.I aware the NL has a DH. I pointed it out when I said his team doesn't let him play the field unless they have to play him in the field. You can't score a point using information I gave you.
Since Schwarber is getting about 20M, me saying Wisdom should then get 15M, using yours and Philly's basis, means I'm saying he's 75% the player Schwarber is. Math must not have been a good subject for you. I never said they are equal. Thanks for playing and proving how dumb you are.
Silver Slugger, AS games, and MVP are arbitrary awards from outside sources. Runs and RBI are products of team success as much as individual player success. And I already proved that if they had the same PAs his HR total would be around what Schwarber did, about 25 fewer, not great, but not bad. Not to scare you too bad, but Wisdom was actually better last year in the PA/HR ratio than Schwarber in 2024. Wisdom hit a HR once every 13.13 PA while TOP 20 MVP VOTE GETTER KYLE SCHWARBER hit a HR every 15.32 PA.
Your words were about Mervis having the success of Schwarber post Cubs. If you truly mean that, you must hate Mervis because you want to reduce him to a footnote with a nice highlight reel. That's who he has been since leaving the Cubs. He's a great bat. He's a liability in every other capacity, so much to the point that until the NL adopted the DH, half the teams in baseball had next to no use for him. He had so little value no one was calling up the Cubs to even offer a bag of balls for him just to keep another team from snatching him up first. And that WAR that you love so much went down about 75% despite Schwarber scoring more runs, hitting more HR, driving in more runs, and having a better OBP. Can you explain that?
You might as well try to change the mind of a flat earther.Someone is madddddd
First off,I did refute what you said regarding him barely being playable by pointing out the massive number of at bats he’s had the last two years. Which makes him extremely playable
You’re just too stupid to realize it apparently.
I never jerked it to anything. All I said was if Mervis becomes half the player Schwarber is, he will make a decent career for himself.
You’re the one losing your damn mind over it. Seriously, take a break from CCS before you snap(more than you already have)
No. Just no.For first base, 95% of the ball handling is a throw right at them. It is only the 5% we need to worry about. IMO, not a horrible things to worry about.
