Anthony Rizzo's diet consists of raw meat and pitchers' souls. You respect Anthony Rizzo. You fear Anthony Rizzo.

Anthony Rizzo fears just two men: Jesus and Starlin Castro. In that order.

This dude is a CANNOT MISS. Just like Felix Pie/Rich Hill/Hee Sop Choi/Every Other One of Wes' Fanboy Cub Crushes From the Past Decade.
Seriously though, I'm pumped about Rizzo.

I would add Kerry Wood and Mark Prior to that list.

So I looked over some stats yesterday. Is there a player in MLB who's Batting average is as close to there OBP as Starlin Castro. I think there is only 15 points of difference. That could be some kind of record.

Yep. His patience at the plate is laughably bad.

He can get away with it now because the rest of the team sucks, but when they do eventually get good in 2-3 years, and he is counted on, he will then be criticized. But now Cubs fans need something to hang there hat on.

Same guy that hit .141 for the Padres last year, right? That .242 slugging and 1 homer in 128 ABs is gonna scare some folks.

Yep. I'm not going to say he won't succeed with the Cubs, but he's definitely far from a sure thing.

That's not as fun. Was trying to a little bit more. Wes will probably throw away the Pete LaCock autographed ball I got him.
