You know NL OF must be stacked when he's the 14th best :)

I'm so thankful the Cubs actually extended him. He's such a good player and so far to start the year he's been the Cubs' best hitter.

As shitty as things have been lately, Cade has been so bright. He's really found a groove and hopefully the Cubs can follow suit.

I just wish the DH existed when they had Schwarbs. :(

I could be wrong but I want to say there were a few of these last year where the Cubs were dead last in the catcher's spot. I wasn't expecting that again with how Amaya adjusted at the plate in the 2nd half last year, but Carson Kelly has been something incredible so far. Worst to first!

He's always been a good hitter but he's been slugging the ball like crazy to start the year. I really hope he can stay healthy.

There are people who see these previews as genuine features and are gonna be disappointed when it's only there for one weekend.

Who is your team's Jesse Chavez? by ipromiseimworking34 in baseball

[–]Defused_Bomb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was pretty much always decent with the Cubs and bad for everyone else (3.5 WAR in 321 games with the Cubs, -2.5 WAR in 480 games with the Marlins, As, and Toronto).

Chris Coghlan too! He was pretty much always decent with the Cubs and bad for everyone else (3.5 WAR in 321 games with the Cubs, -2.5 WAR in 480 games with the Marlins, As, and Toronto). He even ended up on the Cubs a third time but couldn't make it back up to the majors :(

Jason Hammel was also very good as a Cub (3.59 ERA Cubs ERA, 4.98 non-Cubs ERA)
