Daydreaming about the line-up for next year & beyond... what do y'all think about putting Happ at 1B? 

My thinking is: 1) I would love to see Happ extended (I know that is a big IF right off the top); 2) lots of interesting RHB in the mix for 2023 & beyond. Not so much w/ LHB; 3) Easier to add LHB in the LF spot, either internally or externally; 4) The minors are heavy on quality OF prospects coming soon; 5) Allows for a good mix of players between the 1B & LF slots depending on performance & optimization for a given game.

I was at the game today. Surrounded by Red Sox fans, reminded me of a Cardinals game. They were pretty arrogant after the top of the second, but as the day went on they changed their tune.  When Hansel Robles walked Simmons, they (justifiably) were screaming that they couldn't walk a hitter like that. And then Morel came up, and Robles started out with nothing but fastballs. I was thinking "Didn't the scouting report say Morel can hit anybody's fastball?" And then he did hit a fastball for a home run. The Sox fans went nuts. I confess to a certain degree of Schadenfreude. And later on the F-bombs started. 

Also, I think Ross did a great job of managing the lineup and bullpen. The starting lineup was slanted toward Rich Hill (who was classic Hill: 72mph curve ball, 88 mph "fastball."), but Ross pinch hit for the righties, and, thanks to the positional versatility of the team, managed to keep good defense on the field. One of the Sox fans said, "They moved the second baseman to center field? Wow." I think he also did well to use Hughes and Effross when they could do the most good, and then Martin was good, and soon-to-be-ex-cub-Robertson (my best to him in the postseason) was routine in the ninth. 

Fun day at the ballpark.

angels sign villar.

unless he's planning on pitching that won't help much with the team's issues...much like firing joe maddon didn't help the team's issues.

The Cubs just pulled the classic Mills for Leiter Jr. bait & switcheroo on the Red Sox and they fell for it!

bote in the 9th as a defensive replacement...at 1st base.

4th career appearance at 1st in the majors (1 start).

    Good deal

    MB needs some talent infusion!

    Childersb3: Very possible. Suriel, too.

    DJL: if a pitcher is recalled to be the 27th man for a doubleheader and then is optioned back to the minors the next day, the 15-day "clock" does NOT reset. The one day call-up for the doubleheader is treated like it never happened with respect to a pitcher having to spend at least 15 days on optional assignment before he can be recalled. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Probably the only reason David Peralta is still in the organization (he is at AAA Iowa) is to be available in case anything bad were to happen to Ian Happ (which it just did). So if Happ needs to go on the IL, the Cubs can select Peralta to play LF, DFA Wisdom (and hope he and what remains of his $2.725M salary gets claimed off waivers), and recall Mervis to platoon at DH with Cooper (with Canario / Tauchman sharing RF), at least until Suzuki and Happ are back...

    i'd just like to take a moment to express to the world i'm still pissed willson contreras is not a cub when the pricetag was 5/87m (17.5m/yr).

    it would be nice to have a legacy-type player to stick around, especially one with his leadership and the respect he gets from his peers.  cubs fans deserved more than 1 season of contreras + morel...that was gold.

    happ, right hamstring tightness, day-to-day (hopefully 0 days).

    he will be reevaluated tomorrow.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    I guess I'm not looking for that type of AB 

    Just a difference of opinion

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    I don’t see Tauchman as a weak link in any position. He simply adds his value in a different way.

    I don’t know that we gain much by putting him in the outfield - Happ, Bellinger and Suzuki and Tauchman all field their positions well. If you’re looking for Taucnman’s kind of AB in a particular game I don’t see why it can’t come from DH.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Tauchman gets a pinch hit RBI single with a liner to RF. This is his spot. He's a solid 4th OF. But he isn't a DH. 

    He takes pitches. Useful. I still believe in having good hitters.

    You don't want your DH to be your weak link (other than your C maybe)

  • crunch (view)

    bit of a hot take here, but i'm gonna say it.

    the 2024 marlins don't seem to be good at doing baseballs.
