A bet most would take over and over and over again. For all the bad outings they were still right there with the top 20-25 pitchers in the game. And again, that's not counting Hendricks.
To date there is no indications that those three won't be consistent and that ignores arguably the team's most consistent pitcher in Kyle Hendricks. I think an argument can be made that the Cubs won the offseason.
The reason why we are in this slowness is a poor FA class butting up a tremendous FA class. A penalty line that the big spenders are avoiding. Many teams going to rebuild models instead of buying their way to a playoff spot.
Not seeing anything about Boras there.
