    Addison Russell called up!

    Cubs are officially going for it this year.

    (C) Montero
    (1B) Rizzo
    (2B) Russell
    (SS) Castro
    (3B) Bryant
    (LF) Coghlan
    (CF) Fowler
    (RF) Soler

    The lineup is officially sexy. I'd love to see Schwarber in LF in September, but give him the year to keep on catching in the minors.

    God fucking dammit. I take an hour off Twitter/the Internet and I miss the shot to snag him in fantasy.

    DMB, what should I do with Baez? Is there ever going to be a spot for him, or should I just cut bait if Russell performs at all?

    Barring injury Baez is likely useless for you this year.

    He's not even playing because his 21 year old sister died. When he comes back he needs to make mechanical adjustments. If he figures it out it's possible they deal Castro at the deadline. Thing is Cubs want Russell to be their long term shortstop, but Castro has been playing really well there this year. Maddon really likes Baez so he'll get a shot in the future if there's a spot.

    Just trade Castro to San Diego and you have room for him.

    Insanely fun.It's nice knowing you're watching a game where the goal is to win. Last few years sucked but worth it.

    Re: Addison Russell called up!

    How many NL position players in non-interleague games have started their first game in the majors batting 9th? That has to be a short list, doesn't it, at least for the modern era?

    I actually saw this specific stat on twitter earlier. I think only one time the last (x) amount of years. I forget the number but it was a long time ago. I want to say at least 40+ years.
