    This class would have been the 7/2/2021 class before the rule changes. Prospect linked to the Cubs per Peloteros International: Adán Sánchez, C, Panama Prospects Linked to the Cubs by BA: 22. Adán Sánchez, C, Panama 28. Alexis Hernández, SS, Dominican Republic 34. Jefferson Rojas, SS, Dominican Republic Eric Longenhagen's Board at FanGraphs (2/16/21): Rodrick Arias, SS, Dominican Republic - NY Yankees Jonathan Mejía, SS, Dominican Republic - St Louis Jarlin Susana, RHP, Dominican Republic - San Diego (was eligible for the 2021 class, deferred to 2022 for a larger bonus) Dyan Jorge, CF, Cuba - Colorado (was eligible for the 2021 class, deferred to 2022 for a larger bonus) Cristian Vaquero, RF, Cuba - Washington Oscar Colás, RF, Cuba - Miami Ismael Javier, SS, Dominican Republic There are two 1/15/2023 prospects who would technically be eligible in fall 2022 because of the change in the draft class period (with the old rules, they would have been eligible 7/2/2022). There's a chance a team with a most of their bonus money still available could poach them before 2023: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/international-player-update/ Felnin Celestin, SS, Dominican Republic - Seattle Brandon Mayea, CF, Cuba - NY Yankees

    That’s not bad.

    Yeah - shocked Amaya isn't ahead of Márquez. Márquez - 113 Preciado - 133 (literally Eric's last 50 FV guy)

    R isn’t gone. The Cubs will still have a team in the AZL so I don’t think anything will change for HS kids in draft year. A- (shortseason NWL) is gone so I expect most second year kids will stay in Mesa for extended spring training and then in June, the better ones will go to A Myrtle Beach rather than start the new season in the AZL in June. I’m sure a guy like Ed Howard who is considered more advanced will have every chance start his first full year in full season. Also, the Cubs will have a chance to go back to two AZL affiliates in 2022.

    Seems odd with Eugene no longer being part of the system and everyone missing a year of game action. The only thing I can think of is they want to protect arms and are worried about innings pitched coming off a missed season.

    Kiley had us at 22nd, and basically said that we're on the upswing but lack the top 100 types that tend to drive those rankings. He also said the Cubs could be at the top of the rankings in 2 years, which is what many of us have been hoping with the acquisition of so many talented but greener prospects.

    Well then, I see no reason for the Bears to offer a first for Wentz.
  15. CaliforniaRaisin
    Coby looking good
  16. CaliforniaRaisin
    BA released theirs today too and have the Cubs at 17.
  17. CaliforniaRaisin
    Completely agree. Not sure how well national lists will handle a canceled season but it looks like most of his changes were due to trades or graduations (that’s fair, that’s probably the only truly accurate info you have).

    Trading Thaddeus would help a lot. He's like the 2nd or 3rd best player on this team right now. Plus you should be able to get a late first for him.
  19. CaliforniaRaisin
    Hey, it’s a 5 player draft.

    Of course he was Wentz' QB coach during his most successful time in Philadelphia.
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    Drag it out till the roster bonus deadline.
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    Wait till you hear about this Brady guy's politics.
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    Tampa's best defensive players aren't really that old. This would be like adding a future HOF QB to the 2018 Bears, but with a better offensive line.
