    According to Gimenez — who played with Darvish in Texas and knows him better than anyone else in the Cubs clubhouse — the pitcher is having a hard time dealing with the criticism he’s hearing and reading as he serves his second stint on the disabled list of the season.

    And now a quiz.

    He is said to have "one of the best arms I have ever seen" and "has all the tools". He got a huge contract and massively under-performed. He frequents the DL and is pouty and emotional.

    Am I talking about:

    a) Yu Darvish
    b) Jay Cutler

    ???

    He's yours for awhile now

    Unless they decide to try and trade him (no chance) or DFA him and eat the contract.

    I want him to succeed, of course. But from what I've seen so far, and what I saw in last year's world series, do I want that guy on the mound in this year's world series?

    It's just the weekly power rankings, not a Pulitzer Prize entry

    They're justifications for positions in the weekly power rankings. He could have come up with something better.

    3 - 7 in the last 10. Dropped two in a row to the Cubs. What the hell? They were riding high not too long ago.

    West coast swings suck, then straight to Chicago. That's a tough schedule.

    They got back on track and are playing great! Current trade rumors favor the Phillies for Machado. Are you willing to give up the farm system?
