    Cubs Wait Til Next Year 5.0




    Trades


    11/16/14 Chicago Cubs traded RHP Arodys Vizcaino to Atlanta Braves for 2B Tommy La Stella.
    12/09/14 Arizona Diamondbacks traded C Miguel Montero to Chicago Cubs for RHP Jeferson Mejia and RHP Zack Godley.
    12/17/14 Chicago Cubs traded RF Justin Ruggiano to Seattle Mariners for RHP Matt Brazis.
    01/19/15 Chicago Cubs traded RHP Dan Straily and 3B Luis Valbuena to Houston Astros for CF Dexter Fowler.


    New Faces

    RHP Jason Hammel
    LHP Jon Lester
    RHP Jason Motte
    LHP Phil Coke
    C Miguel Montero
    C David Ross
    2B Tommy La Stella
    CF Dexter Fowler
    RF Chris Denorfia


    2014 Predictions

    Baez gets the call around late June and takes over 2B full time.
    I was off by a month and got the position right!

    Bryant dominates AA pitching and finds himself in AAA to finish the season. Fans will be pissed when he doesn't get a September Call Up.
    Should have added 'and also when he doesn't get the OD nod'!

    Olt has a 'meh' Spring and ultimately splits time at 1B/3B in Iowa. He puts up decent numbers and finds himself in the majors in September.
    Olt spent the entire year in Chicago and did pretty much nothing. His defense is looking pretty good though.

    Shark continues to put up mediocre numbers despite good looking peripherals. Traded to contending club for a top flight pitching prospect.
    Trade pitching prospect for infield prospect and it's pretty spot on. I'll take being wrong though, I still get to have Addison Russell!


    2015 Predictions

    Biggest topic in Chicago: Kris Bryant. When does he get the call? ROY?

    My prediction: Everyone thinks he's going to get called up the day the Cubs gain that extra year. I think it'll happen a week after. He'll stay in the Majors all season and put up a slash around 260/330/550 26 HRs. He'll split time between 3B/LF throughtout the season. He's a hot pick for ROY this year, but I think it goes to one of his teammates.. (Soler)

    What about Javy? He's back in AAA. Does he get the call again in 2015? When?

    My prediction: He'll be back in Chicago in 2015. I think he'll either come up with Bryant, or a few weeks after. Maddon raves about Javy's glove/hustle. He's still going to strike out a lot, but get it closer to the 30% range. Will hit some monster shots too.

    Record/Postseason?

    My prediction: 89-73. Cubs get hot late as Cards struggle, snag up the division crown by just a game or two. Lose in Division Series, but not swept.

    Shouldn't this thread be titled "Wait Til Next Year 107.0?"

    Shouldn't your signature be updated? There is no "Present" in two of those three leagues...

    Dammit! I'm so sick of red.

    I saw the problems brought on by "Bathroomgate", that's a shame. Hopefully everything will be beautiful once they get the renovations done. They have done wonders for the Trop, not that anyone sees it past opening day.

    1) Fowler CF
    2) Soler RF
    3) Rizzo 1B
    4) Montero C
    5) Castro SS
    6) Coghlan LF
    7) Olt 3B
    8) Hammel P
    9) Alcantara 2B

    Joe continuing to bat the pitcher 8th. I don't mind it, but I'd rather him do it with La Stella in the lineup. Alcantara isn't the ideal guy for the spot IMO.

    Fowler CF
    Rizzo 1b
    Soler rf
    Cogs LF
    Castro SS
    Montero c
    Mendy 2b
    Hendricks p
    Herrera 3b

    If Hendricks does what he does best (getting grounders) he should have a great game.

    Let's get that series win!
