MLB: ***Official Cubs Offseason Thread***

[CyJack13]

Bit of 2B, CF, probably LF, since everyone plays over there.

I'm all for him getting playing time in RF too, no point in treating Heyward like a full time starter at this point.

Better hope he doesn't face the cubs in Wrigley this year. Fastball to the thigh is my guess!

This is the kind of culture that wins championships. Not afraid to prank your bosses because you know they will not only tolerate it but even join right in and enjoy it.

Argh, sounds like a hamstring issue:

Thankfully the Cubs have the kind of depth that just laughs at injuries to non pitchers. Everyone was wondering how Happ and Almora would get enough ABs and filling in for a couple injuries may be the answer.

This is the kind of culture that wins MULTIPLE championships. Not afraid to prank your bosses because you know they will not only tolerate it but even join right in and enjoy it.

FIFY.

Schwarber being back to his old hitting self is as good as any top FA signing. Him being slimmer and quicker and a better defender is even better.

They’ve been batting Happ a lot at lead off and he’s been performing. Wonder if that will be that way opening day or not.

Point of order on that last word. They spelled winning incorrectly.

Today's game is on KCWI...excited to see if Giolito makes the jump this year.

You're telling me this now??

You're telling me this now??

As a Sox fan, I've been intrigued if Giolito is real since the strong September last year....unless you meant the KCWI part

 

[CrossCyed]

Giolito 4 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 8 K. I'll take that in a spring start.

Thanks for answering my question before I asked it. I was going to ask if he had slimmed down. That video sure made me think that he had.
