Tommy Hunter to Cubs for Junior Lake (Deal Done)

[weams]

No. I actually didn't have much issue with the trade. I have every issue with giving Hunter nearly $5m this year.

I'm just arguing that Lake will ever amount to anything. He's organizational depth. Nothing more.

And yet, he has all the upside that you could ever ask for in one of those types of moves.

I'm not so sure his upside is as high as you think it is.

So Pie or Davis.

IMO neither as from what I have seen observing Lake he looks like he should go jump in one and take up swimming or fishing. I don't think he even has the talent Felix Pie had. At least Pie had some actual tools to work with even if he didn't know how to use them. Lake just looks like a soft big body type with a slow bat or a weaker rh hitting version of Travis Snyder.
