[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1580397, member: 26283"] This is weird. Joc Pedersen IS Kyle Schwarber. Their career stats are virtually identical right down to the miserable 2020. And this $7MM contract is maybe only a smidgeon less than what Schwarber was projected to receive in arbitration. So... a. The Cubs payroll position is so dire that saving a few hundred $k actually makes a difference, or b. The Cubs misjudged the market and thought they could get a Schwarber replacement for cheaper, or c. The Cubs scouts see something about Pedersen that’s not born out by the surface level stats that makes them think he’ll be better than Schwarber this year. Personally, I think “b” is the most likely answer here, which isn’t an encouraging sign for the new regime. [/QUOTE]
