BP Wrigleycast - Chicago Cubs News

Ryan and Isaac talk about some vague changes in the future of the podcast before digging into what you've all come here for: Hardcore baseball talk! The guys chat about changes to the 2017 roster, Albert Almora Jr., Tommy La Stella, and a little bit on the St. Louis Cardinals and the Yadier Molina contract extension.
Later, they give a full rundown of their projected division winners, the wild card teams, award winners, and playoff predictions. Since he wasn't able to join them for the episode, Ryan and Isaac were free to do a little over/under without the guilt of confusing Carlos.

Spring Training is here and that means Dr. Pepper? Carlos starts things off with a bizarre comparison that includes a desert and Dr. Pepper.
Then the guys discuss some quirky Maddon moves and whether he's overmanaging or not: Schwarber in the leadoff spot and a two-headed #5 starter.
The question of the week compares Jorge Soler and Eloy Jimenez, while Joel digs up some old guy for 60 Seconds with a former Cub.
Baseball is back!

Projections are fun because fresh stats in the winter are like a warm hug from an old friend you haven't seen in a long time.
But that's all they are: projections, and the guys highlight some interesting outliers.
Then they discuss some recent SP signings and what they mean for 2018. Then Isaac drops out because he's so important and his computer hates him.
At which point Ryan and Carlos heroically carry on for a few more minutes before signing off.
Baseball will be here soon, folks, and all will be better.

The BP Top Ten is out and the guys run through some overall thoughts on the list, as well as some strong opinions by Isaac on one particular player.
Then we chat about some players to keep an eye on that didn't make the top ten and why we like them.
We close it out with Ryan regaling us on his coverage of the Cubs Convention over the weekend.
P.S. We're trying out a new piece of software, so please let us know if you like the sound on this one—it should be better than before.

We take a look at our biggest disappointments and pleasant surprises of the season. The starting pitching has been bad. The bullpen has been good. The offense has not been good.
There's a lot of negative stuff to cover but the guys valiantly try to focus on the positive.
Can Theo Epstein keep the window of contention for this team extended for another few years? Ryan sure thinks so. But only time will tell...
And Joel is back with his patented 60 seconds with a former Cub.
