2020-21 Offseason Top Prospects Lists
JeffH replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Just for the sake of documentation, Valdez bumped Brendon Little from the list. -
Well, in a month, it'll be a High-A roster!
-
Notable that the list is one shy of the roster limit. Space for Norwood if he clears waivers?
-
I understand. Thanks.
-
but how will that change the IP? I'm over the age of fifty, so I'm not really the right person to give advice on this. That said, I don't understand the question. I have a Roku that's plugged into the TV. MLB.tv is one of the streaming choices. I log in using my MLB.tv credentials (username and password). I watch the games on the TV.

Over 20: Highest upside - Marquez Best player - Jensen 20 and under: Highest upside - Caissie Best player - Howard

Sprained his right knee a few weeks ago Norwood got DFA’d so I guess Romine is safe for now The roster is still at 41 even after the Norwood DFA. There will be either a 60-day IL placement or another DFA.

You're missing a #28. -

-
One thing that Brothers offers is that he's optionable. Kimbrel, Workman, Tepera, Winkler, Maples, Chafin, Mills all unoptionable. Plus the three top starters. Williams and Adam are optionable, but I doubt they'll be used that way. If you want to run an Iowa shuttle, you have to have at least one guy you can and are willing to send down.

Minor detail, but I believe Bastian is wrong about Marquez. He was optioned to Double-A.
-
If Miller makes the team and Alzolay doesn't, I would prefer to see Miller get regular work in the rotation rather than Mills. Mills can fill the "long relief" role. Megill is another that ought to get serious consideration. Yes, I know he's not even on the 40-man at the moment. But he's no kid - he's 27.

I know there's a built-in anti-reliever bias, but, if we have seventeen prospects better than Burl Carraway, I'd say we're in pretty darn good shape. -

Unless he's "the extra guy" and last in line, Keegan Thompson will be making his spring debut today.
-
To me, it's pretty much all about Kimbrel. If he locks down the ninth, the rest of the bullpen should fall into place and be pretty good. If he fails, the whole thing could fall apart. The rotation is going to be better than it looks on paper.
-
Yep. Fastball up, power breaking ball. Could stand to improve command a bit, but that's not surprising.
-
Most of the bullpen projections I've seen just assume that Kohl Stewart is definitely going to be optioned to the minors. I wonder if that's necessarily true.
-
One thing that we don't always consider is how an individual player will react to sporadic duty. I'm too lazy to look at Ervin's game logs to see if his better performance in some way correlates to regular or semi-regular stretches of playing time.

Prospect evaluation is such fun. So difficult. Even in retrospect, this is how I would describe Derek Jeter. -
Yes, for Marisnick. It has to be Maples, doesn't it?
-
Yes.
