Cubs 2015 #23 Prospect

[Tim]

Make your choice for the Cubs 2015 #23 prospect.

 

Cast votes for the players you think would be deserving at #23. You can vote for up to two players. This is done because at this point, there will start to be greater diversity in whom people may feel is deserving. Voting for multiple players helps to gain greater resolution in the voting when there are many choices and relatively few voters. Ideally, the votes would be weighted, but that isn't possible with the board software.

 

If you want to have a player added to the list, please say so.

I'm going Clifton and Null. Clifton's supposed to have a very good fastball, good velocity, and my understanding is that while he has gotten bigger/stronger, he's still got some physical projection left. (Just turned 20 last week, I think.) He's been one of the best K-pitchers we've got. Got a ways to go, and control is a challenge, but he's seemed to gain consistency there.

 

Good shot to be a top-10 guy once the season's done.

 

Null throws strikes, scouts as having a solid fastball, and the Cubs like him a lot. We'll see how the success, and the velocity/command, sustain over a full season.

 

Others close in my list, some of whom have already gotten votes from others, are Pineyro (when you're K'ing guys and not walking guys like he's been doing in AA, lots to like. And 92-93 velocity isn't great, but if he can really work at those velocities with control/command and a K breaking pitch, you can be a useful guy. Similar to Null, in a sense.) Contreras. and Michael Jensen.
