2011 Cubs LVP
Click here if you're having issues with the poll within the post. Previous losers were:
- 2010 - Lou Piniella
- 2009 - Alfonso Soriano
Player | Stats | Notes |
Jim Hendry | left team with little rotation depth, and lots of dead weight on contracts. | |
Carlos Marmol | 2-6, 4.01 ERA, 34 SV, 10 BSV, 98 ERA+, 0.9 WAR | blew league leading 10 Saves |
Mike Quade | acted very confused, consistently... | |
Alfonso Soriano | 244/289/469 104 OPS+, 1.4 WAR | if you care to concentrate on the value portion of LVP, Soriano gave little bang for the buck |
Carlos Zambrano | 9-7, 4.82 ERA, 145.2 IP, 81 ERA+, 1.4 WAR | similar to Soriano, money paid grossly overstated to performance given. May have kicked a puppy. |
I'll leave it open through the end of the week. Comments always appreciated.
