Panerista Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 15, 2015 -> 12:03 PM) He is Mr. Cubbie Chubby post after post after post. I'm assuming you just cloud your judgement with blind fanaticism. I suggest you get over the Cubs. There is no comp to a team that gets the the LCS with an average player age of under 25 years old. The George Bret Royals, the Big Red machine of the 1970s come close, but they were significantly older on average. The Cubs are going to be good for a long time. For your own mental and emotional faculties, I suggest you get over it real quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Mets win tonight they'll be younger, with an average age of 27.9. The Sox are actually the 9th youngest team in the MLB, at 27.7.

For your own mental and emotional faculties, I suggest you get over it real quick. The Cubs are very young on the position player side, but with pitching they'll be mostly relying on guys on the wrong side of 30. http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/2015-star...dl-projections/ According to this article there's about a 40% chance that any random pitcher will get injured in a given year, and the percentage is higher for older pitchers. After 2003 the Cubs had a young core of Prior/Wood/Zambrano/Dempster/Ramirez/Lee/Barrett/Patterson. It's a good bet that the Cubs will be pretty good for a while but to just automatically assume it could wind up with you losing your house like greg (sorry greg, but that's easily my favorite recurring theme on this board ). Guys get injured, young players regress, things don't go as expected. Schwarber could end up another Josh Fields. Lester/Arrieta could blow out their shoulders. There's a reason baseball is the hardest sport to predict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 The Mets rotation will get Wheeler back next year. Which will give them six quality starters under the age of 29. They have some young positional players to surround them with. Their future is as bright if not brighter then the cubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you think he might be having some shoulder or elbow issues. It's the same deal with Price though. Not sure it means anything. EDIT: Just realized Price pitched on Monday, not Sunday. So it wouldn't be his regular rest. But it wouldn't be surprising if Arrieta needs a little extra rest, considering he's already pitched 70+ more innings than he ever has before in a season (I'm including his minor league innings last year).
