As an Astros fan, I can confirm Rasmus to be a freak and a very weird dude.

Cubs and White Sox get a thumbs up, although I don't think Quintana is a 1,2, or 3 in the DS this season and if he is your team isn't making it to the WS.

The news section of the at bat app is all fluff garbage. Zero mention of Rasmus.

By fWAR, in order, these guys are ranked:

37th
24th
152nd
62nd

By contrast, let's look at a random good team like the Nationals:

Scherzer - 2nd
Strasburg - 10th
Gonzalez - 45th
Roark - 104th

Dodgers:

Kershaw - 3rd
Wood - 6th
McCarthy - 19th
Maeda - 76th

The Dodgers have THREE starting pitchers who have outperformed every single Cubs pitcher (including Quintana).

True, hard to replace a career 106 wRC+ defensive liability.

In single-A action, the White Sox beat the Cubs 3-2 tonight on a 2-run single by Eloy Jimenez. This trade is already a disaster.

Houston is a little weird because of guys like Devenski and Peacock, but I'm going to count Peacock because he has 9 starts:

McCullers - 12th
Keuchel - 25th
Peacock - 33rd
Morton - 114th

We have yet to find a team worse than the Cubs!
