After week of rotation struggles, should Cubs be worried?

Not yet (Still in first place despite being bad in a number of instances so far), but the rotation does kind of seem like a house of cards.

On the bright side for them, Heyward looks very good right now.

Zobrist looks like he is being moved into a bench role with the team. Must be nice to be able to afford a ~$15 million bench bat lol

We could do the same thing.

Possibly. Probably not a good idea though unless Melky and Frazier is still here past July.

Right. Taken in context, though, the Cubs are paying the reigning MVP just north of 1 million USD

And their backup catcher makes $14 million

Forgot about that. Lot of money coming off the books this season. I think they buy a starter in the off-season and make a deal for a cost-controlled one mid-season or in off-season.

Arrieta getting beaten up by the Red Sox.

 

Too bad Sale missed the start against the Cubs by one day.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 9, 2017 -> 01:48 PM)
you're not going to like this, rowand44. But Kyle Schwarber eats baseballs and has me shooker than any player in baseball sans Mike Trout.

Pretty sure Schwarber is the most overrated player in baseball. He's struggling big time with off speed stuff this year. Plus he's a complete liability in the field.

Don't waste your time with this clown, he's just looking for attention.

Come again? What part of my post do you disagree with and name another player that's more overrated than Schwarber. For christ's sake, you'd think he was the second coming of Babe Ruth for all the hype he's gotten over the past two years.

I agree with every part of your post. I'm saying don't waste your time with Jordan4life. Anyone that says Kyle f***ing Scwarber has them "more shook" than any player in baseball other than Mike Trout is a total f***ing clown.

Oh ok. Thought you were calling me a clown for my post.

 

I just can't believe how overrated Schwarber is. He's a one dimensional player and unless he's mashing like big papi in his prime he's going to be hard pressed to be a 3+ WAR player over a full season because of his defensive limitations. Yet some Sox fans I know want to trade Q for him straight up and some people somehow think he's a top 20 player in baseball. I really don't get it. I can't think of another player more overrated in today's game.

Babe Scwarber definitely should be at the top of the list of most overrated players in baseball. Javier Baez should also be on that list. Theo Epstein does an incredible job hyping up his players. Don't get me wrong, both of those guys are quality major leaguers, but the way you hear people talk about them is like they should be basically be untouchable.

Cubs need bullpen help bad. Their defense didn't help them, but Uehara basically handed the game to the Red Sox.

They need the wife-beater back.

To be honest they need Strop and Rondon to be as good as they were before Chapman showed up. Neither of those guys have been the same since august last year

 

Rondon seems better but Strop still hasn't gotten on track
