This is why, and I agree with Emmanuel on this, I think that he should have been up here from the beginning.

Even if they have Triolo on the team.

Why?

Because he's a defensive guy.

And he does hit lefties.

At the very worst, Connor Griffin is still your best shortstop in the system.

So if he struggles a little bit to start with, at least you put Triolo at third and him at short.

That would be better than what I think they have now.

Because you have two guys essentially playing out of position.

You think that'll win the division?

Why are we all underestimating the Brewers again, Hoagie?

The Cubs have pretty good pitching, starting with Imanaga.

Yeah, they do.

Who else is in their starting rotation?

Tyone's their fifth starter.

Yeah, but they also have guys like Dansby Swanson who's been around to compliment these other guys.

They've added Bregman in there.

I'm not saying that.

I'm just saying I think the Cubs rotation is not what Hoagie has described here.

So you're basically, Hoagie, saying that you think the National League Central is a bad division, and as such, 88 would win.
