The Cubs should be less worried about finding guys who can play multiple positions and more worried about finding guys that can hit consistently.

Hell, let's throw in Kintzler as well...

Think that Kintzler has a decent chance to be an asset in 2019. He has been a solid reliever three years running, except for his 18 IP with the Cubs—-with a good formula traditionally: low walks combined with low homers.

In those 18 innings, too many walks and too many homers (and a .380 BABIP). But, it’s still 18 IP, a third of a season. Not nothing but preceded by mostly pretty good work.

Maybe his style is out of fashion these days with all the power relievers around but, at this point, I think you go into 2019 opening day with him on the 25-man and see whether he will regain his usual form.

Kintzler’s numbers with Washington last season were hardly scintillating either, though certainly better than after the trade.

I’d be happy if we took a flyer on him on a minimum deal. The problem is he’s getting 5 million and we’re apparently in a major payroll crunch.

This front office is pretty creative, I’m hopeful they’ll be able to move Kintzler’s and Duensing’s contracts in a trade. They won’t get anything back, or it may be as a throw-in to offset another contract in a bigger deal. $5 million just isn’t that much on modern baseball.

Boras: "Addison is getting therapy. Addison is growing and understanding the responsibilities of his team, his league, his city. The learning curve of this is good for everybody. It’s been really, really good for Addison going forward.”

As a kid who's dad did smack his mom a few times but as a man who has never done it I just wonder if Addison was a little better baseball player would the hate here for him be as strong?

Remember that in her statement she never accused him of hitting her so does say giving her a good cussing every now and then and being unfaithful enough to merit hate especially when he's so mean to her she's rocking a Louis Vuiton purse,lady's Rolex,and driving an Escalade.

I bet all of our wives wish we mistreated them like that.

Actually, she was quite clear about him having hit her.

“The first time I was physically mistreated by my spouse, I was in shock,” Reidy-Russell wrote. “I couldn’t wrap my head around what just happened. … Why did he get so angry? What did I do for him to want to put his hands on me?"

If you want to be taken seriously around here, please try not to be worthless lying sack of ****.

No offense to you personally.

OK I didnt see the part about him putting hands on her.

Ive never "lied" on this board even once.

Worthless and sack of **** is your opinion.

Something else I dont think Ive ever done enough to be called.

God bless you.
