Someone needs to make a Former Cubs Top 10 Prospects version of that or something. DONNIE VEAL NEEDS HIS DAY IN THE SUN

Donnie Veal had a 1.38 ERA and 1.09 FIP in 24 games for the White Sox in 2012. His day in the sun has passed.

He'd be the equivalent of Sosa or Soriano on the starting lineups quiz.

#Cubs will wear commemorative No. 14 patch on home/away uniforms to honor Ernie Banks this year

 

 

 

i'm an [expletive]. saw this and first thing i thought was how i irrationally hate commemorative patches because they make photos/highlights dated. i know it doesn't make any rational sense so please don't ask me to defend it.

On it. How far back should I go? I can go as far back as 1983.

I generally don't like them either, but I bought the #10 patch to put on my Santo jersey. I'm a massive hypocrite.

I almost did one going back to 1995 but then I was like [expletive] this.

Oh man I was just gonna say like 2000 or something

David has the Y2K bug only it happens every year.

Yeah, wasn't expecting to have to break out the Kevin Ories and Earl Cunninghams.

[Clem Fandango]

I could only go back to 2003. For whatever reason BA's 2001 and 2002 lists are completely missing form the interwebz. They had 1983-2000 archived, but their Top 10 individual page results ended in 2003. Plus it took a long time to get there and like David said, I decided to say "[expletive] this" and just end it.

EDIT: Messed up our 2011 #1 prospects position, fixed it.

I feel like SSR will come in and own on this.

 

And Kyle would probably do terribly.

 

207. Missed as many from the last 4 seasons(including one from last year!) as I did the prior 19. Thanks Theobama

Mulholland

This on the other hand I got murdered on.

[Sammys Boombox]

150. Horrible. I forgot (no reason to even spoiler it) Alfonso Soriano... But, man I crushed that 1995 to 1999 range.

78/130 lmao

 

 

somehow i remember jose [expletive] ceda but forget samardzija and colvin.

 

[ctcf]

A shameful 68 on that one.

 

 

I was thinking of McNutt and could not for the life of me remember his name. Infuriating. Can't believe I forgot Shark and frigging Felix Pie!

 

[XZero771679666304]

I almost got all of the starting lineups, but I blanked out on a lot of the less noteworthy "top" prospects in the 2003-2010 range.

[rawaction]

"@ESPNNFL: In the season after each of NE's first 3 SB wins, an MLB team ended a 40+ year World Series drought (ANA, BOS, CHW).

 

 

Ill leave this here.

[Clem Fandango]

I made the damn quiz and did all the research and even a couple hours later I could only get 97/130.

Some of those prospects I knew, but couldn't remember their names. they were in my head as "Korean shortstop," "often-injured high pick pitcher with diminished stuff," "Fireballer who didn't work out," "the big bonus 2nd round pitcher with the double B name," "That guy who played 2B and 3B that got traded for Nomar," "That guy who played 3B everybody said had a perfect swing and would be a contact monster even though it never ever resulted in anything in the minors," etc.

 

And then I forgot the guys who have actually played on the Cubs in the last half decade.

 

 

Most embarrassed for forgetting Castro, Shark, Cashner, Colvin, Archer, and EPatt.

 

Also the above descriptions were Hak-ju Lee, Dillon Maples, Mark Pawelek, Bobby Brownlie, Brendan Harris, and David Kelton.

Only got 73 on the prospects, probably could've done more with more time but I really struggled with the pitchers. Seeing RHP and LHP did nothing to help spur the memory.

Exactly the number I got.
