On a side note, the umps weren’t giving the Cubs any breaks in the last 2 games of the series, either, but maybe I’m just whining.

Of course he went out and didn’t have the best outing, but we’ll see how the season progresses. Glad you liked the focus analogy. In an eagle-eyed draft it was comparing him to David Eckstein… Which didn’t feel right.

After reading this article I am convinced that Hendricks is worthy of a rotation spot!

Favorite part of article – If Hendricks were a car he’d be a Ford Focus.

Interesting to see how all the projections have Hendricks performing worse in all statistical categories following 2015, in spite of his young age. Methinks he will prove projections erroneous (at least I’m hoping).

A+ article. You’re on fire with back to backs this week!

All that being said, I think the Cubs did pretty well.

While true Warren was brought in to challenge Hendricks (and Hammel for that matter) the trade involving Castro was more to make room for Zobrist. The byproduct is strengthening the pitching staff.

That said, I’ve always hoped Hendricks would become Greg Maddox 2.0. It’s doubtful but if he stays on his current trajectory he’ll be a constant presence in the Cubs rotation.

Was only able to read the first half, but will dive in deeper later.
