Calling Schwarber's defense a bit suspect would be a generous description. Cubs will give him a long look at catcher since that kind of bat (if he develops as expected) would bring much more value as a catcher. He needs to work at it or he'll be the Cubs left fielder of the future, the bat will play.

Your GM said he was willing to "overpay" for hitting.
And even though it was tongue-in-cheek, thinking about it more, a hypothetical Puig for Harvey trade would be interesting in both directions: two guys with superstar potential and huge question marks.I write things on the Internet.

Took only a couple minutes of watching the Sox for something dumb to happen.
Sox up 3-1 w/ runners on 1st and 3rd for the Astros. Both runners score on a stolen base attempt of 2nd.
Needless to say I turned that garbage off immediately.Comment

If this horrendous play continues Farrell will be out of a job by the time the season's over. I actually think the overall culture of that team needs to change in the worst way.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

His blocking seems above average and his arm is good from what I've read, but he really struggles receiving. He does seem to call a good game.Comment

He had a successful TJ surgery by all accounts and has performed to expectations for somebody on its 1st year coming back. I don't see that as a "huge question mark".OSHA Inspector for the NBA.Comment

OK yea I was watching America's Got Talent so I was flicking during the commercial breaks and he looked pretty good. His curveball has a big break to it. I am looking forward to his next start.Comment

Re: 7/17 - 8/2 Game Discussion Thread
Pitchers in general are huge question marks because they're always one pitch away from turning into pumpkins. I just think the risk profile is higher for a guy who's already had Tommy John surgery this early in his career.Last edited by Chip Douglass; 07-21-2015, 10:01 PM.I write things on the Internet.

Re: 7/17 - 8/2 Game Discussion Thread
LOL. I said the same thing earlier today in reference to finding a pitching motion for Iglesias in MLB The Show. Doesn't have quite the same contortionist leg kick though.
Then you might want to adjust your definition of risk in baseball since pitchers who have already had their arms blow up once are as risky as it gets in baseball.
Yeah, he's a huge question mark. Pitchers in general are huge question marks because they're always one pitch away from turning into pumpkins.
