The only skills required are leadership, communication, and working with others. No major league teams in Rhode Island either so he'd be able to attend all road games.

Thelonebillsfan Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 That Curt thinks he's not so toxic he couldn't get a HS job is almost endearing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slateman Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 What RHP platoon bats at first are available via free agency or trade? What would it cost to trade for Schwarber? Are the Cubs looking to rebuild for a bit or are they going to go for it again next season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you want a Lefty hitter for against RHP or did you mistype and are looking for a Right handed hitter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down year this year, though still slightly above average, but good in 2017 and 2018. May have been unlucky this year and isn't a complete loss if need to hit a LHP Mitch Moreland Those are probably the best two FA that would be good platoons while being likely to entertain offers to be a platoon.

They absolutely will be going for it again next year, as they should. Still a lot of talent on the squad, but some composition changes are necessary. On talent alone, they should have easily won their division, but for whatever reason they produced much less than the sum of their parts. Schwarber is a really tough one to trade, as other teams are much more likely to look at his entire season when valuing him. The Cubs had him change his setup and slightly altered his stance midway through the season, and he went nuts. .280/.366/.631 in 257 second half PAs (10.5% BB, 21.8% K, .287 BABIP). That's good for a 151 wRC+. But obviously everyone should be available for trade from the Cubs, as they look to reconfigure the squad.
