Baez does stuff that stat heads and the rest of us don't like, but he also does unique stuff that managers and the rest of us love that help win games!

And he oozes confidence, which seems to be at least somewhat contagious.

And he puts butts in seats, which has a major impact on Cub budgets, as we've all been reminded (the hard way)!

I'll hope he will agree to a reasonable-length contract (primarily because of back issues) and I'll hope that, somehow, we can re-sign him.

But I certainly doubt that will happen.
