Career 5.81 in the post season for Yu in 6 games.
Kershaw is 7-7 with a 4.35 ERA in the PS. I would still sign HIM, if given the chance. When signing pitchers, do GMs really put much stock in a player's post season past? Or do they value a pitcher because of his regular season skills? After all, the playoffs aren't a given, if you don't succeed in the regular season.
Yu had a couple of bad WS games last year, because he was tipping pitches. We've all read about that ad infinitum. That can be easily corrected. He also had one bad outing in the playoffs against Toronto, in 2016.
I'm just hoping for the best for the Cubs. Been a long time since their last championship. Maybe 2018 will be the year!
