Anyone with a DiamondCentric account can participate and give their input on who they 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 on 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 requires only 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 excellent way to make something like this 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 overarching things you'd like 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 and select my name after it appears). Please mention the prospect you would like added, and I will do so as soon as possible. 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 the minor league 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 to ask to have your vote deleted. It will be removed, and you can vote again. Voting closes Sunday, August 9. View full article

The Blue Jays visit the Cubs as Cease takes on Peterson at Wrigley Field.

Now that the dust has settled, what grade do you give?

It's actually automated, removing guys who were in the bullpen but then started is really tough to do programmatically.

That's pretty much exactly what happened. I bet half of them didn't even realize he was a DH most of the time. Man, the Gold Glove awards used to be a joke.

It was true, and not because everybody else sucked at playing first base, it happened because the voters were idiots.

What do you want the Cubs to do in trades today?

We're doin' a new thing. This year, DiamondCentric's YouTube channel is going to host a 3-ish hour livestream over the deadline from 4pm Eastern to 6:30pm Eastern, give or take half an hour. Join us! If you have questions ahead of time, ask them here. Given how this livestream will cover almost one-third the league, we will not get to all questions, but we'll try our best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYzImOtelHU

Uneven pitching matchup in favor of the Yankees, but they also can't score runs lately, so...
