Not sure I'm tracking re Suarez. What's the basis for the negativity? I assume it's low velocity combined with decline in velocity?
No idea what the price would be, versus other options. But as a strike-thrower, he'd seem to fit Hoyer's mode. His stuff isn't good enough for him to be a big ticket. But he's been a pretty good pitcher with pretty good control. I'd think as a groundball guy, Cubs infield defense would be a perfect fit for him. He doesn't give up a lot of HR's, so maybe Wrigley's HR-suppresion would be wasted?
