    Great post.
    Like real power...is to have it, and not use it.

    For me it was hard not to like Joc. I'd like to see him back one day.
    I can't help wondering how NZ feels about this, realizing of course, that Champ was his favourite.

    For 1 year and $7M, I think we should have kept Joc. I think he would’ve have been more useful to the Dodgers than he will be for anyone else. But Joc might have been given a starting/permanent role in the lineup with the Cubs.

    yes apparently they said they wouldn't platoon him and he'd play everyday
    also was apparent last year that our FO had fallen out of love w the guy and it was time to move on
    not sure why and time will tell how much chemistry w lost w Kike and Joc
    i know its all about the numbers but a team needs guys like them too

    I always thought Joc was underrated. Four 3 win seasons, ~30 homers in 115 starts a year give or take, not a bad defender. Was never our best player but if Joc was coming up against a RHP I always felt good about it.

    Would like to see them find a way to keep JT.

    It's a 1-year deal, so getting a chance to prove himself might have been more important than the dollar figure. If he can prove to be even halfway competent against LHP, then he could get a nice payday next offseason, and it's clear he wasn't going to get the opportunity to prove that in LA.

    Maybe the FO got sick of Joc coming into the season looking like a tub of lard.

    On the other hand, I feel Joc is way less versatile than Kike was for the team, so if Kike is gone, the FO probably wasnt going to stick its neck out for Joc.

    Kike will be missed, greatly. At times he had me pulling my hair out. At times he had me ecstatically jumping out of my chair. He knew how to get the team and the fans fired up. He had some questionable habits and nuances. But he made Bumgarner his bkitch like no other. And he played an important role in ending the 32-year drought. His emotional reaction after the final out was representative of all of us.

    He will be missed, greatly.
