    In a previous life, I was 7th grade social studies teacher in Kalamazoo public schools. My only brush with fame is that I taught his sister US History and geography. I remember when he was drafted and how proud his sister was. I'm pretty sure his dad was a chemist at one of the pharma companies that use to be in Kalamazoo. She was a great kid.

    Don't worry, the Cubs are going to be big spenders next year. That's the new mantra every year.

    Best-case, realistic scenario? He gets a promotion & continues to mash in A+ the rest of this year. Gets added to the 40 man Starts next year at AA and mashes to start the year Gets promoted to AAA in late May / early June and mashes Gets late-season call up to Cubs by end of 2023 However, it's very likely that he hits a hiccup somewhere along the line that delays that timeline. I'm trying to will the Cubs into a generational prospect, I have visions of Dave Winfield in my head.

    Let's say that Alcantara continues on a torrid pace for the rest of this year and then again next year. Could he see the majors by 2023?

    I’m such a pud that even though they suck I still love to watch them.

    And the three run dongs.

    I think they strike out less (anecdotal but I've heard it mentioned on broadcasts) but the weird thing about having significantly worse players on offense is that it doesn't horsefeathering matter if you make contact or not. Just putting the ball in play is not the goal, but it seems to be the philosophy. They don’t work counts either.

    What a horsefeathering shittily run franchise. 45 PAs is all he got. And kept Jayson 6-4 Heyward.

    Is TLR on the hot seat now?
  22. CubinNY
    We ain't gonna do isht. They have to become free agents first.

    Well, it looks like they at least avoided arbitration with him. Hopefully, that is a good sign.

    They got PCA for Baez last year. If that's the case I hope they don't trade Willson. PCA had played 6 professional games in A ball and then suffered a season ending injury, his value in July was far more equivalent to Vientos than Alvarez. But yes, I'm increasingly convinced the way forward here is extending Willson(as if 'keep the good player' needed a sales job) and probably trading Happ. I understand the concept of trading a player that they are unlikely to sign to an extension. I don't understand why they would want to trade Wilson and not get an adequate return. This is especially the case related to the value he has to the team, his positional value relative to his peers, and the Cubs positional need. I really cannot understand why they aren't going out of their way to extend him. I don't think the answer is PTR. But I don't know the baseball reasons.
