You win all sports columns this month with this. I never laughed so hard… You started with the “utility” thing and never stopped. I’m saving this to Evernote for eternity.

Szczur at one point this year (Aug 13th to be exact) Matt had more WAR per PA than all but 4 other Cubs. More than Heyward and Coughlan COMBINED. Right after this he got cold for a couple of weeks and then could barely find a spot to play on the field.

My interest perked in 2015 ST when he had almost more HR’s than KB – but I had no attachment to him. He’s one of those players I believe would start on a middling club. Great bench (and undergarment) resource – but I wonder if the Cubs organization is shortchanging his ceiling.

I kind of feel bad for him behind all the others but it would be interesting to see if he continues his prolific production next year….. He might end up being a significant trade chip…
