Now THAT is a really deep lineup. Won't happen, but oh man.
Yeah, losing EE would really hurt them and they're good, but have to compete with the Sox, Yankees AND Orioles. Everyone on MLB and ESPN keep saying this is kind of their final stand -- and I agree.
My guess is they'll let Bautista walk and go all in on Encarcion.
They do need pitching.
Their pitching is pretty weak and they have no farm system. And they will lose one of EE or Bautista. If they do decide to sell Donaldson need to be our #1 target.
I thought he was throwing a split fingerI'm with goldfly. Schilling should self-impose a twitter ban. The guy's a total rube.
As for Bauer, I thought his cutter would be working last night.

The braves won't give up significant prospects for a two year rental. Be like the tex trade all over.
We didn't have the money for Tex. We do for Donaldson.
Joey Bats is 35 now and on the sever down slope with pathetic defense in right field. They could easily let him go and find another OF. Stroman/Sanchez/Estrada/Happ isn't a terrible rotation.

Still never going to happen.
Thanks Coppy
It wouldn't be smart. So yes, thank you, Coppy.
Sanchez, Stroman, Happ, Estrada, Liriano is a very fine rotation.
What has happened to the Cubs bats?

They'll let Joey go, why they acquired Melvin.
They'll make a big push to keep Edwin but he'll be 34, and i dont know if many teams offer him 5+ years.
The rotation is one of the best in the AL, lineup would take a hit though if they lost both.
Cubs batting average in the postseason is roughly 40 points lower than their regular season average.

Cubs are in trouble

Cubs not starting heyward
And y'all thought Fredi was crazy for benching him in favor of Constanza.

man the playoffs is where weakness get exposed. The Cubbies have some swing and misses in their lineup and if they are not hitting bombs, they just are not scoring. It really makes me happy we are rebuilding around pitching...
