It's not the Cubs, it's the fact that he can hit, and only Abreu can hit for the Sox.

Eaton? Also we were completely dreadful against LHP on offense this year, Schwarber would only exasperate that problem.

I always forget how good he is. The fact that he returned to his average by the end of the season is fantastic.

 

Now Garcia

They would. We would not.

I'm fairly certain the Sox would make that trade (or at least think long about it). Rodon is great and all but Schwarber fills a major position need / void on the club.

Who needs Schwarber when the Sox have Avi Garcia?

What position? DH? He doesn't have one.

The Garcia thing is just such a disappointment. Finally get a touted guy and he has no power.

The Cardinals don't even look like they're trying.

I'm fairly certain we will all be dissapointed in the return we get for Q when we eventually trade him for a position player. Pitching is so good now, that while Rodon is special and everything, with hitting as s***ty as it is, to get a cost controlled bat like Kyle's, well, I think the Sox would put up with the rest and try to get him to stick in the outfield or behind the plate. Basically, what I am saying is, for the first time in a long time, it is hitting that is king and a major premium (vs. pitching). That said, a package between the two clubs would make sense as the Cubs need another pitcher with upside.

Doubt it, and Schwarber would be our DH. You don't trade a potential ace for a DH.

Rodon was still the right pick.

If we had Schwarber we'd just be watching the emergence of future ace Rodon for the Cubs now, so it wouldn't matter. And I'm sure Kyle wouldn't have had near his same numbers for the Sox, away from NL pitching

Touted by whom, Rick Hahn?

Was he really that highly touted?

Why the f*** would you pinch hit Garcia for Grichuk? Yay for subbing a good hitter for a s***ty one.

The Sox should have signed Soler.

The Cardinals don't even look like they're trying.

 

Amazing how the at bats by Cubs pitchers in 2nd inning of games 2 and 4 caused such meltdowns

Was he really that highly touted?

No.

What position? DH? He doesn't have one.

 

I doubt he'd be a whole lot worse in the outfield than Avi.

Was he really that highly touted?

By White Sox standards, absolutely.

Kris Bryant just gets it.

Cubs have not impressed me that much so far. Bullpen is s***. Bring on the mets.

By White Sox standards, absolutely.

Maybe by Hawk, but he does that with everyone, otherwise no.

Sox would not have developed soler to take pitches.

 

Schwarber can't hit lefties and in three years will have no position.

I doubt he'd be a whole lot worse in the outfield than Avi.

You'd be surprised.
