We all know why the Cubs are playing .500 ball this year, which is way way below their aptitude. It has to be the lack of Dexter Fowler. Joe used to tell him "u go, we go". And he wasn't kidding. The Cubs last year were like a .650 team with Fowler and about a .479 without him. So we clearly need a real lead off hitter which every good team has. Im talking like .450 OBP and an OPS over .900. We don't have the guy for this. If Rizzo could learn to bunt to the left side he would have the OBP necessary to be a great lead off guy.
This leaves Eloy Jimenez. This kid is just 19 but he's got the skills to play at the MLB level. If the Cubs bring him up and he hits like he's hit his whole life were golden. Or is Theo ready to ship the prodigy for Johnny Cueto?!! Why haven't we heard anything from this guy??!! Clearly there are no FA available in Fowler's -territory.
If this has already been beaten to death. Please forgive me. I have been in the hospital for most of March and April and May with DVT and PE clots. But Im back because Im feeling serious anxiety about this year.
