Chicago Cubs: Finding a Landing Spot for Kyle Schwarber

I find it hard to believe they really thought Detroit would part with Fulmer...

 

[packerzrule]

I find it hard that the Kyle Schwarber experiment is over

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Wanted Schwarber for Chapman so badly last season

Theo claimed he was absolutely untouchable

So much changes in a year, this guy was always a DH waiting to happen

I don't think anyone has given up on Schwarber. I think they're desperate for pitching.

I heard this too. There's no way Detroit would trade Fulmer. For Norris though, that could be a match. Still a ton of potential in Norris, although he sure hasn't lived up to it yet.

Schwarber is a DH. The sooner people accept this, the irrational expectations of his value can get under control.

*says this with Jorge Soler as my team's primary DH*

Norris for Schwarber intrigues me mildly. Fulmer? Yeah no.

 

[redseat]

he cant hit his weight

He had such a great beginning too

 

[Rock Strongo]

He had such a great beginning too

he hit .246

 

[redseat]

he hit .246

no average wise but everything else for the most part... He was on fire for a little bit..

But Judge>> Schwarber

 

[Fountain City Blues]

he hit .246

But a 132 wRC+

 

[Rock Strongo]

But a 132 wRC+

he hit .246 and is a career .210 hitter. i dont care what his WNBAVORPx3 is

 

[soxfan1468927]

But a 132 wRC+

Yeah but he started out hot, and in the last 30 games or so (which was half of his year), he hit .177 with an 85 wRC+. Not many people noticed because he was a monster in the playoffs and the Cubs did fine in that stretch anyway.

smart people knew that a long time ago

Detroit may trade off a lot of their team including Verlander but Fulmer's as untouchable as it should get for the Tigers.

Oh I agree. Just pointing out that 2015 season did have some teeth in it while he was around numerically speaking. Since then it has quite obviously dropped off.

jesus i didnt think it was that bad.

didn't think it was that bad either

given that he was the cat's ass in 2015, got hurt and missed all of 2016 but came back and helped them to a WS, now he is scuffling for 1/2 season and they want to ship him off - so much for giving him a chance
