[QUOTE="illinifaninwi, post: 1374386, member: 558005"] I think they'll be a solid unit but in no way ridiculously good as conceived now. Edwards, Strop, and Cishek have good career numbers. However, Cishek is projected to regress due to a declining fastball. I don't see Morrow holding up health wise. He has barely cleared 100 innings in the last four seasons and conversely being way overused in the playoffs. Justin Grimm has a -.9 career WAR. Mike Montgomery has just a 8.4% swinging strike rate. I feel the Cubs are one big-time reliever from being the World Series favorites. I really dislike the Morrow signing. There were much better and reliable options. [/QUOTE]
