Ha, so we Cherrypick? How about his prior great years.
Question: who has the potential to be MVP in the next couple
years?

Unfortunately, unless you want to pay Aaron Nola coming off
arguably his worst season, there's not really anywhere else to
spend that money in a way that makes a difference.

Strongly disagree. Yamamoto is better than Senga - who was the
Mets best SP - and Imanaga projects as a solid mid-rotation
starter.

Hoyer will trade Morel, Canaria, and PCA to the Dodgers for
Kershaw. Count on it.

You are obviously being sarcastic, unless you would like to
place a friendly bet (say $5,000)? You really do despise Hoyer
don't you? Jeez, do you have some personal history with him or
what?

Hyperbole aside, I could totally see Jed doing something like
Morel and Canario for a year of Alonso.

I mean, assume Ron is right and you're kidding. I'm not.

I seem to be an outlier. I really enjoyed watching the Cubs
play this season. Stretches of outstanding defense, stolen
bases, scoring a lot of runs, competitive ABs. Not enough
consistency, but the skeleton of a really strong team. I don't
really get the negativism and/or lack of interest.

I don't think you are an outlier among Cub fans (including
pretty serious ones), based on people I know in and around
Chicago. But you (and I) may be an outlier on this board. In
spite of the disappointing finish, I also enjoyed the Cubs this
season. Going into the season I thought it would be a fun team
to follow and root for. I didn't expect them to make the
playoffs, though I guess I hoped for that. Rather I saw it as a
bridge year. I may be wrong but it seems like most, if not all,
of those who have been fairly severe in stating their
disappointment of the Cubs (and Hoyer and Ross) had predictions
below how the team did, even with the collapse at the last.
