I still think it’s a mistake to commit almost $40 million in salary to Hendricks and Stroman. And the rotation described above (which doesn’t even factor in what we do with Smyly) is entirely made up of relatively soft-tossing strike throwers. That seems like a bad idea.
As I've expressed before, I agree with your view, deeg. Still, the Cubs decision is Hendricks, not Stroman. Stroman has a guaranteed deal, Hoyer and Hawkins don't have his $21 cash or $23.7 lux to control. Whether they like or dislike the idea of having him at that price doesn't matter, it's his call.
Cubs choice is whether Hendricks at $14.5/1 is good value, or bad? I'm guessing 3.7 ERA and 120+ ERA+ doesn't look bad for $14.5, *IF* you thought he could sustain that level.
