suzuki not being timid in RF is on my 2023 wish list.

all season there has been terrible IF/OF communication on popups and a lack of taking charge by the guys with the play in front of them.

evidently franmil will be around in 2023.

i mean, okay...i guess.  throws a hell of a lot of water on a possible contreras signing.

pat hughes and steve stone finalists for the ford frick award.  both are overdue.

i'm not a stone fan, but dude is chicago baseball royalty.  played for both teams (1973-1978), announced for both teams (1983-present), and in 2005-2007 (between chicago announcing gigs) he was doing chicago-based baseball talk shows on WSCR.  that's 45 years of chicago baseball.

Not terribly fun to finish 14 games under .500, but overall I'm pretty encouraged by the progress of the prospects and the MLB starting pitching, and looking forward to seeing what improvements they make this offseason!

the need for power bats who can also get on base when they're not hitting doubles/homers and where to actually put them when the biggest holes on the team are 1st, 3rd, and CF is an interesting problem.  having a bunch of contact hitting, lower ob% hitters with guys like f.reyes and p.wisdom isn't dependable enough to get things done.

having all these stellar, young, SP options with backups to those options is...i dunno how to handle this.

straight up haven't been as excited about a youth pitching core since wood, prior, and zambrano.  if they choose to trade any of them away for other parts, i really want thompson/steele/wessneski to stick around.

    busch is having a really intense k-filled mini slump.  he deserves better after coming back to wrigley after that hot road trip.

    i know alzolay isn't having a great time right now, but i trust hector "ball 4" neris even less than alzolay based on what i've seen coming out of their arms.

    Neris reminds me of Don “Full Pack” Stanhouse.

    Happ, Busch, Dansby and Madrigal have a combined 25 runners left on base through 7 innings, with Busch accounting for 9 of those.  Seems like a lot.

    PCA finally gets a hit!  2r HR!!!

    They certainly could be coupled. It could also be the case that a team needs good players at the heart of the team and if they are not coming from one source (development) they have to be sought out elsewhere. I don't see the evidence needed to infer the cause.

    bases loaded for the cubs, 0 out...and no runs score.

    cubbery.

    Walker was a complimentary piece who was well past his prime. Edmonds, Holliday, Ozzie Smith and a few others were good trades. Notably, they have almost always been quiet in the free agent market. But the fundamental workings of the organization were always based primarily upon the constant output of a well oiled minor league organization. That organization has ground to a halt. And when did that hard stop start to happen? Right at the beginning of the Goldschmidt/Arenado era, perpetuated by the Contreras signing, followed by the rotation purchases during the last offseason. The timing is undeniable and, in my mind, not coincidental.

    Again, we are all saying that player development became deemphasized. I’m just linking it directly to the recent trades and involvement in the free agent market. I don’t see how the two concepts can be decoupled.

    The Cards also traded for both Jim Edmonds and Larry Walker. It's the developing part that has fallen off. Of course, it could also be the case that there are no more Matt Carpenters left to pull out of the hat.

    Cubs sign 28 yr old RHRP Daniel Missaki. He was in MiLB from his 17yr old to 19yr old years and did pretty well.
    He's been in Mexico and Japan the last four years and has done well also.
    He's supposedly Japanese and Brazilian.
    Interesting sign. We obviously need to RP in the system
    Injuries are mounting everywhere!!
