1000% agree. If Paxton is back healthy, he is pretty damn good, if not elite. He won't give you the innings like Quintana, but he will definitely shut down teams much more.

Shit I wouldn't mind them taking a shot at Schwarber at DH if they feel Vaughn needs time. Basically pencil him in for 30+ bombs and 50+ BBs (although the average will be low). Anderson - R Moncada - S Abreu - R Eloy - R Grandal - S Robert - R Schwarber - L Madrigal - R Eaton - L Giddy up.

Eaton has more than enough of a track record to indicate 2019 was an outlier, co-vid riddled season for him. He isn't the 5+ WAR player he once was, but he is definitely still solid enough with the bat. I just question his durability. He is just too injury prone for my liking (not counting the clubhouse issues here). I have no doubts he'll bounce back with the bat though but for how many games....

Why? Eaton would destroy him.

Agreed.

The only thing I don't like about this move is he is injury prone and especially the chemistry issues. I wonder if they feel with LaRussa in charge that it won't be much of a problem? I expect a big bounceback from Eaton though (not what he once was, but still a solid player offensively). That 2019 season was an outlier for him across the board. But it's hard to justify a toxic player who is injury prone. But I am not doubting the bat bouncing back.

Sox have plenty of power in their lineup. I get Madrigal has zip, but let's not act like Eaton is Yolmer Sanchez in the power department.

Another odd thing I noticed is Eaton has actually been a better base stealer since left us.

I'm throwing away Eaton's 2019 co-vid short season. He has more than enough of a track record to show that was an outlier season for him. The defense isn't elite anymore after that knee injury, but he is still solid enough in the OF. And the bat is miles better than Mazara.

I'll gladly welcome Eaton back.

He's alright in my book.

Almost like he had to sleep on the deal then posted today considering his takes yesterday. But yea it was a very solid post.

Damn NotCishek basically just told @Quin and @ChiliIrishHammock24 to suck it.

Ugh.. don't like Dunning being in it.

WTF?!?!

My father recently tested positive for covid and he's been in the hospital. Has pneumonia in his lungs due to it. Doctors are trying to get his lungs back right. Please keep him in your prayers. This shit is not a joke. Been a few sleepless nights for me personally the past few days. ?

I would honestly look to draft an O-Line first. I don't want another Joe Burrow situation here.

Ron back pedaling on his claims?! never...

When was the last time Bears FO fired anyone mid season? They won't.

Oh, and if the Bears get a top 5-10 pick, Pace better not be making it.

Bears might lose the rest of the way. For the pro tank crowd, this is good news for ya.

Give me Garrett for the muscle. Ain't nobody fuckin with us in a brawl.

LMAO this is hilarious. Texted my buddy who is a Cubs fan this just now. We both have met Kasper. Very nice guy (funny thing is I am not a big fan of his as an announcer while he raves about him). He is pissed.

He was awesome for us. Was an all star, caught Giolito's no no and now will get paid. I wish him the absolute best.

Unless the Sox feel Vaughn isn't ready.. and even if that, I'd rather go after Brantley at DH and to spell Eloy (even though Schwarber has the best walkup song).
