I just have this nagging feeling that the reason Soto has good years and bad ones is that he's not really all that good.  The good years could well be the flukes, not the bad ones.

Took you long enough

Seriously--this is more DRLP than DPD.  I know Andy does the least possible work imagineable in promoting new content here (The NewsBox is still Opening Day's Gamecast) but that post  is over 10 days old.  Geez!

Andy?  You mean that dude who used to write for SB Nation Chicago?

Fading.  Internet.  Star.
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

Something something pedoyeti.

But anyway, you don't go to work? Because I think if one can shoutbox about Peter King's great writing as much as you do, then you might be able to have read one of the Monthly Dose articles within the last 10 days. That's just me though, I'm a simple hilljack

So, everyone agrees that Soto is bad now, right?

This isn't a thing anymore, is it?

Yeah, he's bad now.

But you still spent several years being wrong.

If by "several" you mean "one," then I agree.

I thought Clint Barmes was bad...

And then I saw Soto's yearly offensive line.

What a win. Really glad it worked out for you and our catcher was awful for a long time.

I know, right?

Soto wasn't even on the Desipio-approved list of Cubs to hate.

WTF, PenFoe?!?!
