Even Soler strikes out quite a bit. High teens, low twenties at pretty much every level

Right I believe the Arizona Diamondbacks from about 5 years ago hold the team record for Ks in a season. Wouldn't be shocked if the Cubs challenged that mark soon. Also wouldn't be shocked if the offense was above average despite that fact.

2010 DBacks and 2013 Astros are the top 2. With just over 1,500 per season. I can definitely see that happening.

The 2010 dbacks were above average but below 70 wins. Pitching and defense need to be there

And scored because of it. See why I think crap like this matters? I can understand why some would think I'm being too academic about stuff but crap like this does matter. Often people are far too worried about how many RBI's a guy has or how many HRs he hits when stuff like walks and advancing extra bases on a hit are what truly win games.

I can't speak for others, but it's not that I think that walks don't matter... in fact, I think I value them reasonably appropriately. I just wasn't convinced that Baez was never going to take a walk in his MLB career...
I'm being facetious (I know you didn't say that he's never going to take a walk), but my point is that it's way too early to freak out about any of his results. Give him some time to settle in and make adjustments... I mean, isn't that explicitly the reason Hoyer said that he got promoted now? That he needs more time to adjust than some others?
I think all of us should be expecting pretty significant struggles and failures at this point in his very, very young career... like I said, if he's not showing significant improvements all around by like mid-next season, I'll start getting really concerned about his future as a major leaguer... until then, I'm gonna just try to enjoy his hopeful growth and occasional flashes of brilliance...

Arrieta's curve is filthy.
Pretty good outing so far...
5 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 1 B, 8 K on 76 pitches.

Yep, I've got a little mancrush on Arrieta.

Never been so happy to be utterly and totally wrong on him. I mean, I liked him as a trade piece for Feldman but I thought his start was unsustainable. Though, with his HR/FB at 4.7% it seems still some what lucky.
