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.
