Congrats to Rizzo as well for getting the Heart and Hustle Award. Not the most prestigious, but awards are awards.RNB considers it the most important award in the game, given his obsessive posting about that kind of thing during the World Series. My guess is that we'll never hear this line of argument again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't that his defensive play was bad.... an aging Yadi Molina is still better than the vast majority of catchers in either league... but 2015 Molina not quite up to the Career Molina behind the plate. I don't fully buy the fact Russell Martin was named a finalist, but I am buying Jonathan Lucroy. That kid seems to be the real deal. There's talk in Cardinal Nation about Yadi getting to 10 straight. I don't see that happening. I could be wrong, but I think the voters will eventually realize what the stats are suggesting.... Yadi is aging and there is a select group of other catchers in the NL with defensive skills on par with, if not slightly better than, where Molina is at today. Doesn't change the fact Yadi already has a place in Cooperstown, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd expect him to stick around the front office after he retires. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laughedatbytime Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 JAKE WINS!!!! Well, I guess it's better than nothing.Infinitely better than Panda, Hanley, and Porky's seasons combined. At first I was thinking this was true using division, but after further review subtraction is more appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorkingAllTheTime Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) Cubs pick up John Lackey for 2 years, $32 million. That one stings a bit in St. Louis. I know the Cardinals were hoping to keep him (but saw the writing on the wall with Lester and Epstein on the North Side). Pretty stellar move on Chicago's behalf. An upgrade and hurting your arch rival in the same move. Edited December 4, 2015 by WorkingAllTheTime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An upgrade and hurting your arch rival in the same move. I'm not counting on it being that great of a deal. Asking a guy in his late 30's to produce that good of a season he had last year with the Cardinals (under 3 ERA) isn't very realistic. But I guess he's better than blowing an astronomical 9 digit contract on a pitcher who's bound to blow out his arm soon.

We will see how much gas he has left in the tank. Cubs will be fortunate if he as a good year in 2016 and a serviceable year in 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
