2020-21 Offseason Top Prospects Lists
Post Count Padder replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Carlos Santana who can stay behind the plate would be incredible. -
Honestly rather go with him and/or Matt Duffy/Giambrone as the extra infielder over Sogard. He's just not that good. Reminds me of Aaron Miles, which still haunts me.
-
We watched David Robertson's session. I like him as a bounce back candidate.
-
I would take back MVP vote getter Ryan Tepera.
-
I assume this does mean a six man rotation. Gonna need innings and the shortened season definitely effed with some guys. So yeah looking at Hendricks, Davies, Jake, Mills, Williams, Alzolay and when those guys need a rest Miller and Abbott come into play. Maybe Shelby Miller.
-
Yeah I don't know how much more we're gonna get out of Maples. He was a nice story but now he's just taking up space. Maybe he figures it out elsewhere. Alcantara or Vargas would make sense too. They're just dime a dozen backup infielders.
-
Yeah I'm exciting about this for mostly nostalgic reasons. I don't think he has much left but we need somewhat reliable starters.
-
Wasn't Neuse a top prospect? Seems like they're giving up on him for a middle reliever.

Potential Kris Bryant trade thread
Post Count Padder replied to Banedon's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
JD Davis isn't that great. He's a terrible defender and is streaky. Really hope we wouldn't try to get him as KB's replacement. I'd assume Jeff McNeil is off the table. -
Brock Holt signing with the Rangers. The middle infielder market has dried up quickly.
-
I mean, it's fine. I don't see how he's that much better than Almora for more money. Ervin can't play CF, right? I guess that's part of the reasoning behind this signing. I suppose it's possible this pushes Ervin off the roster.

Garcia and Heim are young catchers, kind of a wash. Acker was the A's 4th rounder in 2020.

Interesting change of scenery trade

So we're not getting him, which is fine. I keep going to back to what someone said about trying to trade for Adam Frazier and one of Kuhl/Brault and it makes too much sense. Can deal a spare part like Norwood and a couple of prospects we won't miss.
-
We're gonna just end up bringing back Kipnis on a minor league deal and call it a day at second base. Did you guys know he's from the Chicago area?
-
Traded for him at the deadline while he was on IL. He came back at the tail end of the season, pitched just 3 innings.
-
I'm a fan of this. I liked the acquisition at the deadline and he's been good over the years. If he's over his injury then he's a solid left for the pen, especially if Kyle Ryan can't figure it out.
-
That trade will go down as one of, if not the worst, in Pirates history right? Aramis Ramirez for basically nothing and Gerritt Cole for spare parts were both pretty bad but the three guys the Pirates gave up could be stars and Archer imploded in Pittsburgh and then returned to Tampa.
-
Angels giving up a decent prospect for a pitcher who hasn't been good since 2017
-
He looked like he was gonna break out and then took a major step back. Good project for the pitching lab and good depth. Assuming the money isn't much. I assume they bring back one of Arrieta/Shark now and have an all buy-low rotation. Could do worse than: Hendricks Davies Alzolay Mills other vet starter Trevor Williams/Shelby Miller and AAA guys like Tyson Miller, Cory Abbott, etc. And forgot Kohl Stewart, who got a MLB deal.
