Heyward 46 wRC+. Almora 23.

Apples and oranges 101. They both suck.

The Orioles also announce Pedro Araujo was passed through waivers, sent back to the Chicago Cubs, and re-acquired for international bonus pool slots.

Cool.

re: this it was apparently $750k which seems like chump change but keep in mind the cubs signed Richard Gallardo who most view as the best pitcher of the previous class for $1 mil. Could really make the cubs july signings a bit more spicy

Cubs should probably splurge on pitching with IFA signings this year

Javy looks at a pitch down the middle then swings or half swings at 2 pitches up and in

I know they are already apparently signing a C from Venezuela Ronnier Quintero. These deals are handshake until july but the deal is almost certainly done. they are also supposed to sign a SS from Colombia Kevin Made.

Smallllll sample size

I would agree if they were crushing it. The sample is flying true.

But even I doubt a 23 will end up the final. I'll buy 80. 20% below MLB avg. But at that cost the D covers it. Heyward should be a 130 wRC+ with plus D to cover his bill.

They keep attacking hitting. They must really lack faith in their development system

well this is not the start I was hoping for. 2 errors 1st inning. This team is a train wreck right now.

It's all right they will get a nice lotto pool.

I might as well start watching Iowa games. More entertaining than watching the Crew kick dirt into the Cubs grave.

That ball hit to Javy even tried to act funny. Huge DP. Lets get out of inning with only 2 runs

Theyll have 2 spots open in the rotation this offseason Hamels and Quintana

I'd be surprise if they pick up Q option

Or they're just doing their jobs?

Or avoiding a lacking

Quiz: best pitcher drafted by Theo with the Cubs?

Answer: Zach Godley.

He was then drafted by the Chicago Cubsin the 10th round of the 2013 MLB Draft and signed.[2]

He made his professional debut that season with the AZL Cubs and was promoted to the Boise Hawksafter one game. In 13 relief appearances for Boise he compiled a 2-0 record and 2.03 ERA. Godley spent 2014 with the Kane County Cougars and Daytona Cubs, pitching to a combined 4-3 record and 3.09 ERA in 55.1 relief innings pitched.

On December 9, 2014, Godley, along with Jeferson Mejia, was traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks for Miguel Montero.[3]

I'll save you the surprise. They will. It's effectively a $10.5 mil decision because it's $11.5 or the $1 mil buyout. You're not going to find a 5th starter via FA for less than that and when pitching well Q is way better than a FA 5th starter.
