Somehow the Cubs are ahead of the Pirates in the standings
TBH, if Veras didn't blow the saves like he did we'd be higher up in the standings, possibly ahead of the Reds.
Rizzo and Castro are having great bounce back years.
Bonifacio has been a great spark plug at the top of the lineup.
Wellington Castillo has been playing well.
Samardzija, Wood, and Hammel have been a solid 1-3 at the top of the rotation.
All this has got me pumped for the future. Except that the Ricketts seem to be hamstrung for money at the moment.
Hopefully they get caught on tape like Sterling lol.
Also looking back on it, the Cashner for Rizzo trade may be one of the most fair trades I can remember.
