Thor as the WC starter, I assume; how does the rotation look after him? Thoughts on the potential matchup with Chicago?

Their rotation is in Shambles.


BTW, how about Gary Sanchez? Wow!

This is not meant to be conceited, but I haven’t been keeping as close of an eye on baseball the last few weeks. I realize Chicago hasn’t accomplished their ultimate goal, but they have nothing left to prove in the regular season. For me, I’m anxiously waiting on October 7th.

I haven’t seen Sanchez play, but I know he had a stupid start offensively. How is he behind the plate? As good as Willson Contreras is offensively, and as great of an arm as he as behind the plate, he’s very hyper behind the plate…just doesn’t receive the ball as well as David Ross or Miggy Montero. I love catchers, especially defensive game-changers. Molina is my favorite non-Cub. To me receiving the ball, calling a good game and controlling the staff and ground game are the most important aspects for the catcher. Whatever they add offensively is a bonus.
