[QUOTE="bdutts, post: 1416218, member: 29"] Thanks, thought it was his throwing shoulder. If you believe what is said by other GMs, Happ has value due to him being a switch hitter, a guy with power, plays multiple positions and has speed. And he's still really young. A guy like Schwarber has value only as a potential DH. Almora would have to prove he could hit getting 600 ABs and then he'd have value. This came from Sahadev Sharma, responding to a tweet with a similar sentiment: They (Cubs) had the highest OBP from the leadoff spot in the NL, second-highest in baseball. He (whoever it was on that day) went, then no one else did. It was a team-wide offensive failure, especially in the second half. Not a leadoff issue. Cleveland, Oakland then don't really care after that. I suppose the Stros since I live in Houston but really don't care otherwise. For the record, I do think Houston will win it all again. I think they'll have a challenge coming out of the AL but will steamroll whatever team represents the NL. He doesn't take walks and I am not sure he'll hit enough when getting 600 ABs. I think he hit .230 or so after the break. Part of the reason his stats were what they were IMO is due to them putting him in the right situations to succeed. Not to mention, he's an injury waiting to happen with the way he plays CF (which I love BTW). Saw this from Jesse Rogers: Those aren’t reports. Just speculation. Big difference. Tune in at 1 CT on Espn 1000 and I’ll give you the scoop!
