I guess Suede aren't getting the paying gigs they used to any more, huh?

Probably belongs in the I Admit It thread, but I laughed.

Fun Fact:

In Yahoo's 2017 Fantasy Baseball, Kris Bryant is eligible at 1B, 3B, LF and RF. 
I don't recall the threshold from last year to get there, but it's something like 5 appearances at each. Doesn't really matter.

If you isolate those positions, here is how Bryant ranks:

1B: 1st
3B: 2nd (Arenado)
LF: 1st
RF: 2nd (Betts)

The best or 2nd best at four of the eight fielding positions.

Anyone have a clip of that one time Eddie Butler struck out a guy?

I kid, I kid. Maybe Chris Bosio can find something in him.

I don't know why no one else tries this "just trade for other teams refuse and turn them into Cy Young winners" strategy. Theo is streets ahead, man.

Hendry tried this for years, he just confused Chad Fox and Jake Arrieta.

Maybe the Cubs found the tree that Cy Young winners fall out of, you ever think of that?

Turns out it was just a tree full of .900 ops first basemen.

Absolutely. Staggering.

What % of these reclamation projects turn into gold for the Cubs? Or at least good enough to be traded for big upgrades, Theo/Jed haven't missed on much in this category, and most have somehow turned platinum in some way from either Arrieta beign a stud or these 1st-half wonders turned into major prospects. There's also a reason we call Bosio the Wizard as under his watch we've turned people into studs.
