The whole team outside of Rizzo and Baez was pretty embarrassing at the plate. The team started adopting the Chili Davis method of hitting and its the same method that murdered the Red Sox offense. The Cubs became the #1 team in ground ball rate at near 50%. All season the Cubs were struggling to get consistent offense beyond 2 or 3 games but in the 2nd half it was exceptionally pathetic.

Thankfully the Cubs didn't wait around 3 years and canned Chili yesterday.

I honestly dont imagine a scenario in which Happ is on this team next year. I don't buy into this whole flexibility bullshit too much. The guy can't hit anything above the belt. He's hours late on any high fastball. He's not a particularly good fielder either, just average. He was called up because of injuries and for some ****ing reason is still on the team when he doesn't fit.

He was a top 30 prospect when he was called up and showed potential in his first season so why wasnt he traded? Now all he did was lower his value by INCREASING his strikeout rate by 5% since last year. He also increased his walk rate by 6%. He simply stopped ****ing swinging.
