What have we learned about the Cubs the past couple of days?
- Theriot, Fontenot, Ramirez, Gathright and Hoffpauir can hit;
- Gaudin gave up a monstrous homer in the first inning of his start
- Samardzija gave up three runs in his start
- David Patton, Angel Guzman, and Rocky Roquet cannot hold leads
- So Taguchi sucks
So, in other words, we haven't learned a thing we didn't already know.
Let's start the season already!!!
I think we have learned one
I think we have learned one thing.
If Gathright continues to hit, and carries a .300 avg through spring, I think he earns himself more playing time than was expected at the time of his signing.
If Bradley's legs aren't right by Opening Day (and honestly, there's a distinct chance of that happening), I could see an OF of Soriano-Gathright-Fukudome starting against right-handers.
Even if Bradley comes out healthy, Gath may be taking some PT from Fuk, depending on how the Twirler performs in March.
