2024 Cubs

[1060Ivy]

On an actual contending team, Belli is a 5 hitter, Suzuki, is a 6 hitter, Swanson is a 7 hitter, Hoerner is an 8 hitter, and Happ is a 9 hitter. And everyone else is on another team.

Jed had the offseason to improve the position roster and basically traded away best prospect arm in organization for Busch and rolled dice on Morel being able to handle 3rd base.  He allowed Candelario to walk.  He and organization are counting on basic rookies to provide offensive power - rarely a smart move.  

Now organization is left with team-wide offensive slump.  Can’t imagine that could happen


An alternative take - so what you’re saying is that the Cubs are only 4 position players away from a playoff team.
