The Rundown: Like It or Not Russell Returning Soon, Darvish/Davis Battery, Bryant Tiring of Exit Velocity Talk, Other Random Thoughts

It’s early and I’ve got no ideas, but a lot of thoughts.

I keep waiting for those “spring has sprung” posts, but heading into May it still feels a lot more like hot stove season than baseball season. It’s almost unfathomable that the Cubs only owe one makeup game to baseball so far.

Do we still wish the Cubs had signed Bryce Harper? The right fielder has just four hits in his last 29 at-bats with two home runs. He does walk a lot, though, and he’s been worth 0.4 WAR so far this season.
