I'm not a big scapegoat the coaches kinda guy, but I would say |
|
you have to dump Davis at this point. There's just no excuse |
|
for this offense to be this dysfunctional with these players. |

Yeah, the hitting coach has to go when a team underperforms this |
|
much as a group. |

Honestly, I think you have to look hard at changing everything. |
|
Hitting coach and sign one of Harper or Machado for sure. But I |
|
don't think there should be any sacred cows here, either when it |
|
comes to the core players or the manager. |

The biggest sacred cow will be the luxury tax. The Cubs are |
|
right on the edge, and I don't think that management will go |
|
over it. How do they sign a top free agent without going way |
|
over. And how do you trade underachievers for someone that |
|
won't also be an underachiever? |

There�s zero chance the Cubs don�t go over next season. The |
|
trick is going to avoid the repeater penalties. |

Machado a rumored prima donna. Course, Harper's not exactly Mr. |
|
Congeniality. |

The thing you want to avoid is the highest level tax where you |
|
get penalized in the draft. The repeated penalties only affect |
|
the Ricketts bottom line. |

Who cares? By all accounts, Heyward and Almora are great guys. |
|
I'll take a prima donna who hits over them any day. |
