The Cubs are no longer in contention for the playoffs. Over the course of the season, they traded away the one person that was actually playing well in the first half of the season. But you shouldn't take that away from this season.
You should take away the fact that the Cubs brought up a bunch of really nice rookies with the soul purpose of saving the team. Jorge Soler is one of these rookies. And, judging by his first month in the bigs, he's going to make an impact.
Soler was one of my late-season fantasy pickups, and he certainly made me happy about that decision, blasting home runs and hits all over the place, edging out Javier Baez in the 'making contact with the ball' category.
I don't really know if this will amount to anything next year, because we all thought Kosuke Fukudome would lead them to a championship, and they led them...to the NLDS. So it could just be potential, but he's a great hitter, so I'm going for that.
Coming Tomorrow- The Dodgers' pitchers have all been customized this season, save for one. Here is his custom.
