  1. mckinney is literal garbage so of course id rather have cease than him but jesus christ the wailing and gnashing of teeth over these children in LOW A BALL is really amazing. Prospect-hoarding gone mad. You knew it was bound to happen. you said all this horsefeathers 2 years ago and the prospects we hoarded were the full first-wave of young MLB producers that has us currently perched as the model franchise Donny, you're out of your element
  2. just 2 years ago Addison Russell, Kyle Schwarber, Albert Almora, Willson Contreras were all "A-ball" prospects and are each rightly basically untouchable now...so if you scout him as an impact player (as Keith Law seems to) then it's a ton to give up for a rental, but i'm personally a little lower on him than that
  3. i really think the 4-for-1 is assuming extension, and if that can't be reached it'll look more palatable from our end i'm not sweating it, but i'll be fairly surprised if it plays out differently
  4. only took Montgomery a handful of pitches as a Cub to match Aroldis's career total HR surrendered vs. LH, so...
  5. mostly love this from a baseball standpoint mostly hate it from a fan standpoint
  6. ??? Pineda, Chapman, Beltran Torres, Soler, Warren
  7. i get the point, but Shoemaker is actually good and Gray is bad, bad, bad
  8. Schwarber probably thinking, "sorry, that my 45 dong, 86 BB pace as a rookie one year removed from NCAAs wasn't good enough for you, Davey"
  9. he draws grand, sweeping assumptions based off not even half a season's data; i'm reasonably confident Schwarber closes up holes in swing some like Javy, KB, Rizzo, Russell have also Neyer looks like an infantile loser about this topic- when Schwarber tore his knee, he basically tweeted "see, told ya!"
  10. Maybe Unrecognized Ace cuz I kinda feel like he's qualified He probably meant he's an ace without need of a qualifier (such as "he doesn't throw hard"). But that is a weird word, unqualified. smh double meaning he's not conceivably qualified to be an ace cause he looks to suffer from lethargy but he actually needs no qualifier to his ace-dom what's wrong with you people
  11. Hendricks controls contact about as well as any pitcher running http://www.northsidebaseball.com/articles/cubs-articles/23-the-cubs-and-weak-contact
  12. Kyle Hendricks: Unqualified Ace
  13. targeting Montgomery & avoiding the Miller sweepstakes would be pretty cool
  14. popup by the tarp and Javy came screaming in to catch it, damn near Alou'd his leg in the process
  15. haha Kyle simply doesn't give a horsefeathers that he escaped the jam, he's my favorite
  16. i forgive you
  17. conversely, he's intimidated by the new defensive standard set by Almora in his absence
  18. replace the commas with slashes and i still don't do it oh well, so sad
  19. a knowledgable commenter on Sickels' site posted a nice. prospects ranking http://www.minorleagueball.com/2016/7/18/12210910/top-30-midseason-mlb-prospects he listed Happ 37th, Torres 24th, Eloy 22nd
