Minor League Discussion & Boxes 8-13-13

[Hairyducked Idiot]

And now Rivero's in. It's just a barrage of interesting.

[jersey cubs fan]

My feed died but Vogelbach reached base and is now on 3rd.

 

 

 

and he scores on a sac fly

I'll hope that Goony's post isn't a precursor to anything bad obviously and go ahead and say I can see Pierce starting in AA next year and makes his major league debut sometime late next year......

If you mean the uncomfortable comment, I don't think it was anything. More like a combination of tiring and sweating profusely in the heat, late in the game. They pulled him after his 7th K.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

I would be really surprised if Pierce didn't start in AA next year, barring some epic collapse the last few weeks.

Anything's possible, but I have a really hard time seeing that. Starting next year, I think you are going to have to really force your way into the Cubs' roster if you aren't an elite prospect. Johnson doesn't seem like he's going to do that when you could just as easily give him another year in the minors.

Good, I get nervous on anything involving pitching. Gotta wonder why he hasn't gotten more national pub, by the way. He's taken the same path Matt Barnes did last year. Barnes was better in A ball, but Pierce has been better in A+.

From the "we don't HAVE to add him yet" standpoint, you're right. Hope on my end is that he forces us to obviously. You're getting excited about the way our roster is shaping up though, I like it.

So with that, Vogelbach finishes his first game at Daytona 2-3 with a HR and K. Not bad, kid.

 

Rivero went 1.1 with 1 H and 1 K.

the minors are so interesting at the moment that goony and abuck are doing gamethread [expletive] in here. this is quite the moment in nsbb history

hahahaha these are strange new times.

 

Seriously though, this has to be a better system now than the early 2000's

Probably, but it's close. People creamed their pants over minor league box scores back then, too, although NSBB didn't exist.

I freaking started the concept of the message board farm report back in the day.

I don't know how the [expletive] this isn't the best farm system in the game.

The prospect pundits are always a bit behind. They are going to be really blown away when they sit down in the offseason to catch up on all the systems and they see how well the Cubs did this year in terms of development. So many guys had good years. I'm having trouble thinking of important prospects who didn't. Maybe Soler?

Him, and the one guy who hasn't pitched but was a top ten guy.

The remains of Brett Jackson. Vizcaino.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Is it really fair to put Soler there? He was doing great until the leg thing.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I said important.

 

I have trouble putting Soler on that list, though I can't say he doesn't belong there. Vizcaino lost a season.

 

Szczur still didn't break out, but I wasn't all that high on him to begin with. Paniagua sucks.

It's fair to include guys who missed most of the season among the group that didn't have good seasons. Staying healthy is part of the process of developing.

Daytona Cubs ‏@daytonacubs 10m

5-0 W game 1 - G2 Lineup - CF DeVoss RF Chen DH Geiger 1B Vogelbach 3B Bryant LF Giansanti 2B Darvill SS Soto C Cabezas RHP Wang

[davell]

Nah, he impressed everyone, especially with his long layoff. The injury sucks, but all it does is keep him from moving up lists. He did enough to stay put at least. From various lists(not everyone makes any single one, is my guess) we'll see Javy, Almora, and Bryant each inside at least one top 20, Javy inside a top 10. Soler will be consensus top 50, with maybe a top 30 from someone. Alcantara will hit a few top 75's, slight shot at a top 50. And we'll see Pierce, CJ, and Vogelbach all make a list or two. Not to mention Olt, who likely will be given a mulligan by many, and will see a wide array of where hez.s ranked. The Twins are the only team I can see ranked ahead of us and thats only if its weighted heaviky towards the top obviously.

That and you know some idiots will call his bat throwing thing a strike against him

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I'll be surprised and disappointed if Baez isn't in almost all top 10s.
