Cautiously optimistic about Butler. Bosio has worked wonders and hopefully one of these reclamation projects like Montgomery or Butler will pay off.

Are the Cubs just going to keep playing Schwarber everyday?

He has to be one of the worst everyday players so far this season. Just not sure you can play him everyday. He is killing them,

Timby posted:Oh, I agree completely. Once Heyward and Jay are back and healthy, just run with an outfield of them and Almora and use Schwarber as a pinch hitter in late innings. But he needs to be riding the bench for a while, because his offense is brutal and his defense is somehow worse (he's easily several steps slower in left than he was a month ago). I'd be for leaving Happ up and having him replace Schwarber in the lineup.

My girlfriend doesn't care about baseball but saw Kris Bryant up to bat when I was watching and busted out a "who's that?".

Reinsdorf outbidding other teams made me question things. This makes more sense. Seems like the strong presence of Cuban players in the organization held some sway. Sox seem to be making smart moves. I can't remember the last time both the Sox and Cubs were good at the same time. Could be the case in a few years.

Is there a book thread in this forum? I'd love some recommendations on baseball books from some of you guys. The last one I read that was recommended was "The Only Rule is it Has to Work" was great. Lords of the Realm looks interesting.

Cubs bullpen is really good. Even with Joe not managing it particularly well. I think we're just seeing regression from a lot of players which was expected (especially defensively). Guys like Russell, Contreras, and Rizzo are having down years. Schwarber doesn't belong in the majors right now but he's playing everyday for some reason. And Joe has been really bad at putting out the best lineup each day (especially now when they are healthy). It's not terrible because the Central is a joke. Still think they'll win the division which is all that matters. But this also isn't just some fluke start to the season and they'll start playing .600+ baseball the rest of the season.

I never understood why Schwarber was playing everyday a year from major knee surgery. And why he starts against lefties when he's never shown he can hit lefties. Or why he was leading off so that he came up with no one on and teams could shift on him.
