The FYC, Baseball is Fun, Cubs will win at least 90 Games Thread

Can we get a recall vote on this BJax thing?

What if they had a Ulysses Jackson or irving Jackson?

Won't get better than e-jax.

Lots of jizz jokes this year.

Great. Like one Fork isn't enough.

Well, you need one for your salad, and one for...oh, I swee what you're saying.

Nevermind.

So now the gift shop will be all out of Bort AND Fork name license plates.

I'm already looking forward to baseball.

Thanks, Gary and Don.

Faggraphs posted their ZiPS Projections for the Cubs on Friday (note: I don't really know what any of that means.) 

Some highlights:

Rizzo: 31 HR, 109 RBI .279/.349/.503 (#1 Comp - Kent Hrbek)
Castro: 14 HR, 77 RBI, 24 SB, .294/.332/.446 (#1 Comp - Robin Yount)

Pretty good looks for Samardzija, Garza, Jackson, Baker....most of the arms, actually.

Especially Fujikawa: 50.7 IP, 57/19 K:BB, 3.38 ERA.  (#1 Comp - Robb Nen)

Also, Yahoo starts their Pressing Questions series with the Cubs today.

TL;DR: They're still shitty except for some ball-throwing guys and a couple hitters.

The Cubs have not one but TWO minor league pitchers who are comparable to Mark Pisciotta? Promote these men, Epstink!
