It's Buckner! By the way, this is the last time these will be posted in this manner in the forums. We're creating a new system for posting images that will launch soon.

FOCO is a partner with North Side Baseball and support of their products helps support this site; 100% of the funds/materials received from these promotions go directly to our users in the form of prizes and gifts. What a phenomenal start it has been for our Cubbie Blues as they lead the National League Central in which has turned out to be a non-competitive division thus far. As the Chicago Cubs continue to show off their skills offensively leading all of Major League Baseball in runs batted in, showing off their elusive speed on the bath paths with stolen bases, runs scored, and total team hits, the Cubs look to shock the National League in what is setting up to be a fun pursuit all season long in the National League. If you want to get in on the action this season and swag out your starting lineup of Cubs collectibles, our pals at FOCO have got you covered with a bobblehead launch that dropped this morning you do not want to miss out on. The Blues are back! Upgrade the style in your starting lineup with the Chicago Cubs Baby Blue Alternate Uniform Bobbleheads. Featuring your favorite Cubs stars, Shota Imanaga, Kyle Tucker, and of course, our beloved mascot, Clark the Cub, these bobbles portray the 3 individuals wearing their new baby blue alternate gameday uniform in an action pose, ready to show off their awesome threads. The backdrop is team-colored as the Cubs logo and cityscape backdrop displays in case there were any doubts where your allegiances lie this season. With only 225 bobbleheads per player/mascot being made by the bobblehead company, these will surely fly off the shelf before you know it. Make sure to snag one of your own Chicago Cubs Alternate Uniform Bobbleheads now before they are all gone and be the Cubs fan of all Cubbies fans! Like all FOCO bobbleheads, each one is hand-crafted and painted so that no two pieces look exactly the same creating a unique and diverse presence to each collectible the company creates. Click on any of the links you see above to get your hands on a Kyle Tucker, Shota Imanaga, and a Clark Chicago Cubs Alternate Uniform Bobblehead now before it’s too late and as always… GO CUBS GO!!

Welcome to NSBB! And I changed your username for you to reflect the correct spelling of your name.

Over the next few hours, this change should propagate to all users: We've reduced ad coverage on the forums by about 25% on mobile devices. I've received complaints and also been bothered by how prevalent ads are on phones, specifically on the forums. While there will still occasionally be ad-post-ad situations, it will be rare now and after testing this for several days, I've seen more instances of four posts in a row with no ads between than I've seen ad-post-ad situations. Hopefully this makes browsing and participating on the forums a more pleasant experience on mobile devices!

Signing 16-year-olds and turning them into productive MLB pitchers is, unsurprisingly, a war of attrition. https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/brewers-minor-league/international-free-agent-pitching-part-one-a-league-of-failure-r3285/

Welcome to NSBB!

That's exactly the point of the article. It's not passing judgment on Boras, it's questioning whether his approach is as effective as it once was, if you look past the super-mega-deals he gets for a handful of his clients.

Help us build our first top 20 prospect list of the 2025 season! Image courtesy of © Sergio Estrada-Imagn Images Unlike other publications, North Side Baseball allows all users to help build our top prospect rankings. Anyone with a North Side Baseball account can participate and give their input on who you think should be in the Cubs' top prospects list. Before you vote, you can hit our top prospects page for the latest stats and news on Cubs prospects while on the voting page, every name is a clickable link that brings up their current stat card. Voting is simple, just follow the instructions below! Here's the rundown how to participate: 1. You must have an account and be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, click here. It literally requires 60 seconds to create an account. 2. Review our current top 20 prospect list, catch up on stats, rankings, etc. (you can do so from the voting page link below) 3. Have your prospect list in your filthy little paws? Then flip on over to the new prospect voting page (after reading the rest of this, please). https://northsidebaseball.com/prospect-voting 4. Voting is super simple, you drag and drop players in the order you wish them to be. After you move a prospect, the list automatically renumbers so you don't lose track of the order. This works on mobile devices but it's a *vastly* better experience on desktop. Sorry, that's just how this kind of thing works. There's no great way to make something like this be as awesome on a phone screen. 5. Each prospect has a comment section where you can add any commentary you have on that player. At the bottom of the list, there is a general comment section to explain over-arching things you wish to mention. 6. Don't see a prospect you want to put on the list? Just pop back here and give me a mention (in a comment, start typing @Brock Beauchamp or @Brandon Glick as it appears). Mention the prospect you want added and I will do that asap. 7. Once you're done with all of it, click Save. You've now voted! 8. When the voting closes, a new thread will automatically generate in this forum with all of your rankings and comments for everyone to read and talk about. 9. You can only vote once. If you have voted in error, pop back here and tag Brock, asking to have your vote deleted. It will be removed and you can vote again. View full article

Done, thank you!

Yeah, I mis-typed. It's fixed now.
