[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1456206, member: 26283"] There's no particular reason to think that Chatwood's 8 BB/9 from last year, which was twice his career rate was permanent. He's a much better pitcher than what he showed last year. There's similarly no reason to think that Darvish is permanently injured. Or that the .500 OPS Almora put up over the second half of the season is the real Almora. Or that Bryant's shoulder is permanently screwed up and he'll never hit for power again. I could go on. The amount of fluky crap that happened last year was pretty amazing. If everyone regresses back to their career averages, both positively and negatively, the Cubs will be better in 2019 than they were in 2018. [/QUOTE]
