2015 Cubs Offseason: Building a Winner Around David Ross

[SKO]

Was Fowler really god-awful in September?  I don't recall that.  I do recall he was god-awful in May and June and into July.

OPS by month:

April: .814
May: .670
June: .641
July: .806
August: .995
September: .640

[SKO]

DPD, but while his highs were higher (at least in August) and lows were lower, that actually seems to be Fowler's average season in terms of hot/cold months:

How much is the message board paying SKO for his full-time position of Guy Who Responds to Every Fork Post? I think we need to consider shifting him from Hourly+OT to Salary for 2016.

I am very bored right now and this is the first fall in six years where I haven't filled my argument quota by yelling at people who hate Jay Cutler. I need my fix, man.

Looks like it's time for me to have some very strong opinions about Star Wars.

Well, some new very strong opinions.

You are literally the worst.

A new candidate just shot to the top of Apex's most desired free agents. Not to mention this one can be acquired without trading Jorge.

No picks, no players, just money.

Now is when we find out just how big the Cubs' budget really is.

Take this for what it's worth but...

I was listening to MLB Network on XM on the drive home yesterday and Peter Gammons was sure The Cubs would wind up signing Lackey to a two year deal, trading Soler for Miller, and signing Gordon for the OF.

Lackey for two years is great. Does Gordon have the arm for RF?
