Article: Cubs Winter Top Prospects Rankings: #2 Cade Horton
CubinNY replied to Jason Ross's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Cade Horton, a badass. The best pitcher in the Cubs system since Mark Prior. Can't wait to see him in Wrigley. -
Going somewhere, Soto? Yes, to the Yankees
CubinNY replied to Bobson Dugnutt's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I was going to post something similar to this. This screams, "We need news" to me. I've not been on the Soto bandwagon for the Cubs. But I have serious doubts about this report. -
it's just that our society is so very fucked up right now. This is not a thing that anyone should spend any time either getting upset about or defending. But that's not what is going to happen. If they are offended, It would be great if a group of concerned citizens would reach out to the Chiefs organization and explicitly ask them to not allow people to wear traditional costumes or whatever in the stadium. That would solve the problem at the antecedent stage. If the Chiefs organization refuses, then they can make a case in public. But people are always going to do stupid horsefeathers, not out of malice all the time, but out of ignorance. There are obvious counterexamples. A bar owner in my old home town posted on Facebook his food menu and a White Power hand gesture, within 8 months the bar was on the verge of bankruptcy and sold.

You can't blame this kid for dressing like this or whatever. It's on his parents. But also, and lets be honest, it's nothing to get upset about unless you are looking to be offended.

Wisnecki is from Humboldt Park and he's off the books plumber who also, "knows some guys".

In one of these many pitching FA threads rolling around the new and improved NSBB there were some comments about Tallion. I am actually fairly optimistic about a healthy bounce-back year for him if he comes into spring training in shape. He came into camp last year about 20-30 pounds overweight. But he had a great spring. I'm pretty sure he had 0 walks in Arizona. Then as the year started he lost his command. I think this was partially because he was out of shape. I don't expect that Jed Hoyer's Cubs will let that happen again. So If Tallion can pitch like he's capable of pitching and they had a front-line starter along with what they already have, they may have the best starting 6-7 in the NL. I'm less optimistic about Hendricks moving forward. I'm hoping he can muster 10 good starts.

The problem with being tied to everyone is it sometimes means being tied to nobody. It’s rumor season and dream me a little dream season. Writers need to sell copy. i do like that there is smoke attached to the Cubs. We have to see what happens.
-
Hopefully some day someone connected with the Bears during Poles's time as GM writes a tell all book on the dysfunction of the organization.
-
I agree with everything, but Bregman fits the needs of the team better. Let's take Ohtani out of the EQ, he just costs money. If I get to pick, I'm picking Bregman.
-
I don't think that is annoying, but on the other hand, what do you expect to change? I mean, the Bears and Fields have been consistently inconsistent all season.
-
you can slice it any way you want to. Since 2018 then and only once. Again, we can expect about 1/2 season from him. As long as they build on that potentiality, ok fine. I think people are juiced about getting him because the Cubs don't have a guy like him right now. But he can't pitch from the IR list.
-
They seem to have a scripted first drive that works really well. I'm guessing that they practice those plays in order during the week. Then after that, it sort of falls apart. I go back and forth on Fields so much. I kind of feel sorry for him. Either he's in way over his head or he's been poorly coached. He's not like Trubisky at all. You can see the talent in individual plays. You can see the ability to throw from different angles and doing all the stuff a good QB does. It has to be poor playcalling and coaching. Gun to my head, I'd stick with him and see if I could get in a coaching staff that had a clue. They are not an awful team. But last night was a classic game for them. They should have blown out Minnesota by more than three scores, and they won 12-10.
-
or all the above.
-
since 2016 when he first broke into the majors he's thrown over 100 innings twice. Although, last year he managed to get in 120. So we can expect approximately half a season out of him. Not exactly lighting my fire. I don't really care how much money he makes, but he will cost talent. IMO, that's too big of a risk.

lol, every one and their sister’s boyfriend have the same feeling.

Article: Cubs Winter Top Prospects Rankings: #3 Matt Shaw
CubinNY replied to Jason Ross's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
We have to see him fail. He hasn’t yet. It’s easy to say he needs to do X when he’s not doing that. But he hasn’t need to do anything different because he’s destroying the baseball. He doesn’t need to be more patient. He doesn’t need to walk more. He needs to keep doing what he’s doing until it doesn’t work. When that happens we will see what type of player he is. However, on the other side of the ball he needs to shore up his arm and fielding. I expect that will happen at some point this year because we don’t likely live in the Matrix made for Matt Shaw. -
Of course you would

Article: Cubs Winter Top Prospects Rankings: #2 Cade Horton
CubinNY replied to Jason Ross's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
I think before he breaks into the majors he has to show or be let to go longer in a game. I know it’s a six inning game for a lot of starters these days but I’d love to see the Cubs let him throw close to 100 pitches in a game -
90th percentile, Jeff Kent?

I would say there are no favorites right now. But if there were, it would be the Cardinals.

In this assessment of the coaching staff's tendency is your answer to what they think about Fields. Doing the "safe" things means they don't have the confidence to let him do the unsafe things. If they did, they would let him. I think it's less about winning and more about what they think he can and cannot do. From what I saw (I only watched the first half), Fields showed that he can do some of the things everyone wants him to do, but he's not consistent enough at them to be successful. I think this falls squarely on coaching. Kyle is binary in his assessments and that's what makes people upset. It's either awful or great. Fields is neither, he's inconsistent.
-
Gotta find a way to get the ball in the end zone there. Terrible play calling or execution
-
A microcosm of da Bears season on that drive
-
Fields doing a better job of getting the ball out.
