His first few seasons were up and down. That said, he throws so hard and so well, in short bursts, at this point, he should continue to be an effective RP. With that long contract, you are gambling he develops as IRL - maybe sooner. Jackie had a pretty rapid decline in the late 1950’s, so you also bear the risk of that; although with decent TCR he could stay more at the top of his game. There’s also the risk that Pint, Pags, Jones, or Mayer become dominant players; but you really don’t care about that. What a stacked lineup! The poor Phillies.

Yeah I like the risk of it all ... no guarantees in life
Plus, this is my chance to go for broke on a pure Cubs fantasy ... what if we had acted like a large market and spent $$$ rather than embracing the lovable loser mantra?
