Marquez getting plenty of groundouts as well.

Interesting that Rodriguez got time in CF. Heard he was a 1B corner outfielder type. 4SB hopefully suggests he is athletic enough for CF

I'll keep hammering home that this DSL group is a really good one and there's going to be a serious prospect or three out of this bunch.

I don't know why you'd have to hammer that home. It's not like you're the only one who thinks that. The Cubs spent a lot of money and signed a lot of guys in this group. Chances are 1 or 3 good prospects will come from it.

I wasn't aware that I was secretly trying to steal all that credit coming my way or undermining all or whatever the issue is here. I was mentioning it for maybe the people who wander into the minor league thread once in a while and wonder why I am even mentioning some mostly 17 year olds. I've been saying this since their season opened, whenever I post about a DSL prospect, and did not realize it would suddenly become a thing tonight.

I don't think nor did I say you're doing any of that. It's just not necessary to hammer it home in my book. It's a pretty obvious thing that they got a good haul. I mean, is anyone disagreeing with you?
