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

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.
I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

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.
I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015

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

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

And to think we got Rizzo from San Diego for Andrew Cashner.

Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

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.
