Midseason Prospect List Updates
Tryptamine replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
No mention of Alcantara, Caissie or Triantos -
I figure this thread is as good as anywhere else, but given PCA's improvements and Luis Robert's continued decline, I'm firmly on the I wouldn't even consider dealing PCA for Robert straight up. It's funny when you realize 5 months ago, you would have needed PCA++ to land Roberts.

We're kind of at the point where just about the entirety of the 2025 draft needs to be spent on the OL/DL. They're pretty set up everywhere else for the long term.
-
I mean Cameron is in the hall of very good. At 50.6 fWAR he's like 10 fWAR from being a hall of famer. I get hoping for good outcomes, but asking for a HoFer is a bit much.
-
It blows my mind that the White Sox are 15 games behind the Rockies for the 2nd worst team in baseball. To put that in perspective, the Cubs are only 13.5 games out of the best record in baseball.
-
An offensive gem tonight gentleman. Way to keep that momentum rolling.
-
Were we due for another oblique injury?
-
That sitting Seiya for Tauchman thing really worked out well.
-
Pearson is filthy, but holy horsefeathers does he leave a lot of pitches over the plate.
-
Pearson was straight up filthy on that first hitter.
-
I'd actually be surprised if they scored at this point.
-
Nice inning by lopez, but damn is his ERA an illusion 13.2IP as a cub with a .66 ERA 6.59K/9, 3.95/BB, 94.4LOB%
-
Ump blows 2 balls on Bellinger for 2 strikes
-
FFS ump, costs Busch a walk and ends in a K
-
On the positive side of things, PCA almost up to a .600 OPS now
-
Carry the team PCA
-
Haven't been watching, but man was it predictable that they're getting shut down by random struggling prospect. It's like they can sense hope and every time I start to have some, they make it their mission to crush it.
-
In a disappointing season, the Cubs are on pace to win 78 games. At the White Sox current win percentage, it would take them 329 games to do the same.
-
Man, I hadn't really thought about it, but a PCA CF and Alcantara RF would be a monster defensively.
-
Ignoring his first disastrous 7 games, Alcantara has 9 HR in 296 PAs. A healthy player in MLB is going to get roughly 700 PAs in a season. That puts Alcantara at 21HR/700PA pace, so he's already at Cameron level HR power. Also, remember he's hitting in one of the most excessively offensive inhibited environments in the minor leagues. There's a reason that Matt Shaw had the 5th highest OPS of all players with 100+ PAs with an .841. What makes Alcantara exciting is there's more in the tank. He could be a legit 30+ HR guy. Also, as far as everything I've read, he's a no doubt CFer.

IF they lose tonight they'll tie the AL record for most consecutive loses in a season.
-
PCA since July 1st .218/.256/.410 4.9BB%, 15.9K%, 83 wRC+, 90.2EV, .238 babip PCA before July 1st .192/.243/.277 4.2BB%, 28.5K%, 47 wRC+, 87.2EV, .270 babip
-
PCA has got me legit excited.
-
They're now on pace to win 38 and be outscored by 351 runs. That would be the worst run differential in the modern era. Their current .237 winning percentage is the 2nd worst of the modern era behind only the 1916 Philadelphia Athletics(.235).
-
and they're going to lose, unbelievable.
