Shark is the only Cub in it. No surprise at 1, though I will be interested to see BP's list when it arrives for comparison's sake.

Samardzija over Vitters, much less no Vitters in the first place, is rather surprising.

What a horrendous list.

What a horrendous list.

 

True and we have zero media darlings!

 

Check down the road, they'll be alot of misses in that group and its like MLB.com and Baseball America are grudgingly giving some attention, because of the past yrs skepticism of Samardzija and dont want to admit their mistakes.

Was Wieters drafted by the Cubs and then elected to go back to school?

No, that was Taylor Teagarden and Preston Clark.

 

And Tim Lincecum.

And Micah Owings.

And Khalil.

 

I dont think there are any other notable ones recently.

especially no. 2.

 

by the way, if we had drafted wieters, wouldn't peavy be wearing a cub uniform right now? wouldn't wieters for peavy straight up be a pretty fair trade?

Probably Weiters+ 2 prospects. Or Weiters could be moving to 1B for us and we could be looking to trade Lee.

you may be right that it would take more than a premium prospect to get peavy, but i suspect that if you look at future expected value of wieters versus peavy, it would be very close. especially since peavy is already expensive but wieters will be relatively cheap for years to come.

that .770 OPS at AAA not sexy enough for you?

Matt LaPorta was the same year as Lincecum.

[abuck1220]

given the heap of crap that apparently almost got the peavy deal done, i'd say wieters alone would have done it.

We've already traded Wieters like 15 times for various levels of talent over the past year.
