2015 #2 Prospect

[Tim]

Make your choice for the Cubs 2015 #2 prospect.

 

Later on, we'll move to a system of multiple votes, but I think it makes sense at the top to just vote for a single player.

 

#1 Kris Bryant

[Guest]

Once again, I went with Soler. I think the offensive upside and amount of surety after already performing in MLB outweigh the positional advantage.

i want to know who the hell voted for almora and take away their privileges

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I just watched a Soler highlight video so I'm going with him.

[Cubswin11]

Soler was my pick, though Russell may be the more valuable player down the road and at a premium position Soler already being in the majors and looking good in his time up last year gives him the edge for me.

[Tryptamine]

Going Russell again since he didn't get #1.

[ctcf]

Went Russell, but Soler is incredible close.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

how many more ABs does Soler have as a prospect?

He is 41 away from losing rookie status.

[Guest]

how many more ABs does Soler have as a prospect?

Soler has 711 minor league PA's, 10 in Cuba and 97 in MLB; 818 overall

 

Russell has 1138 minor league PA's, none above AA.

I was just curious how long Soler would be eligible. Wasn't trying to imply anything.

I know technically it's not how it works (the votes for the winner of #2 could all be allocated towards someone other than the loser for the #3 vote) , but should the loser of Soler-Russell vote just be given the #3 prospect rank to help speed things up? Just a thought, don't really care. It seems pretty clear we have a defined top 3.

We've done it in the past when it has been clear.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

It should be clear with this one. Also Soler is going to be the best baseball player that ever played.

There's 2 guys that are better prospects than either Bryant, Soler, or Russell on his own team. That's just stupid amounts of talent, especially considering a guy at least at that level of prospectdom barely graduated from prospect status last year.

 

FYI, I picked Russell. 2nd time in a row I've picked a guy I project to be an inferior player over the guy behind him.

And they're joining a team with two 25 and under (deserving) All Stars.

Bryant, Soler, and/or Russell.

Which part isn't making sense to you?

the statement that "there are two guys that are better prospects than either bryant, soler (and/)or Russell on his own team."

 

 

to me that sentance says there are 2 unnamed prospects that are better than bryant, soler and russell. Maybe its the either throwing me for a loop or something, but it does not compute.

Are you just nitpicking some maybe awkward phrasing?

 

It's pretty damn obvious what he meant.

[Smack]

One of them is third best and it's crazy that any one of those three has TWO better than him in the same system.

That's how I read it at first, but I know Raw isn't a moron so I figured there must be an interpretation that makes sense. It wasn't hard to figure out after that.

I don't think I am nitpicking, I legitimately had no idea what he was trying to say. I didn't know if he had some newfound love for Schwarber or something. It's not obvious at all by what is written.
