Not much worshiping going on after today's game.

 

Playing out of position, FTL.

Typical Cubs' farm system result, FTL.

 

Fixed.

i'm still at the altar that is Eric Patterson

[ctcf]

Fun Update: He's spent some time on Indy teams and most recently signed a minor league deal with the Padres.

hope he invested that $100 wisely

[Guest]

he donated it to hurricane relief, iirc.

i bet he regrets that now

[SouthSideRyan]

Maybe the next hurricane relief fund can donate $100 to him.

[TruffleShuffle]

i assume this kid is a star by now correct?

[Tyrant]

On a more serious note, I'd like to see Patterson get a quick promotion to Daytona just to see what he can do. It's obvious to me that he's head and shoulders better than the competion in low A.

 

This kid should be on the fast track to Wrigley.

 

This is the saddest thread.

It really reminds us that prospects are not remotely guarantees. I have more confidence on our current regime and system to come through, but at the end of the day, the great plan is simply a venture.

 

Some top 100 prospects of 2001: Montanez -100, Christensen 49, Juan Cruz - 47, Zambrano - 30, Choi - 28, Corey Patterson - 5.

 

In 2002: Kelton - 74, bobby hill - 79, Zambrano - 72, Choi -68, Cruz - 14, Prior - 2.

 

Out of that whole group we netted a front line starter in Prior, and MOR starter in Zambrano a couple years of Patterson and Cruz, and Choi for Lee. Think about our current top 10. Almost half never see the majors, 1 becomes a role player, 1 goes in nice trade, one becomes above average and two potential stars that fall to injury. Again, I think chances are better this go round, but holy cow, that's depressing.

No, it reminds us how abysmal the Cubs' systemic development of hitters was.

If you think big Z was a middle of the rotation starter me and you are going to have words.

eh, I guess I could go for solid number 2. If you look at the numbers, he wasn't quite as good as I remember.

 

A lot of his value was in his bat. So, yeah, if you look at overall value, he was great, but straight pitching numbers, he walked a lot of hitters and gave up a lot of hits.

 

But the point stands.

[Guest]

he didn't give up a lot of hits. fip usually didn't like him very much though.

Wasn't Bobby Hill the centerpiece in the ARam trade?

ARam's contract was the centerpiece of the ARam trade. Hill was the PTBNL chosen from a group of him, Beltran, and Smyth.

 

I miss the Pirates being astonishingly awful

[NewUserName]

I know I have faulty memory but I thought he was PTBNL because he was injured at the time of the trade. Either way I would still say he was the main piece. When fans cry about how Cub prospects have always failed I try to point to the early 2000s as the last time the system was really good and that it did net the Cubs a pretty solid core of players. And 2 players who had good yrs in 2003 but fell off the map afterward for different reasons(prior and Cpatt)
