    Its almost certainly starts at Horton, Shaw, Alcantara+. As good as Skenes is, I'm not sure I do that right now. Especially with the risk of injury that pitchers face. It's an interesting thought exercise though. I dont see Skenes getting moved for another couple years though since the Pirates are dumb to not cash in on him now while they have nothing.

    I mean that's fair. I can see why people would hate it right now. I'm a believer that he will return to form and yeah right now I am hesitant to give that up. 2 months from now we could be having a completely different convo though if he gets back to form and I think that particular package would be fair compensation. It doesnt really kill us depth wise either. I will admit it does hinge a little bit on Tucker resigning though.

    He's repeating this league right? He's what 22? Def something to monitor moving forward.
  4. JBears79
    lmao what a daily minor league thread, 7 games
  5. JBears79
    This ump tonight is hot garbage
  6. JBears79
    Yeah. I get where you're coming from. These next two months are going to be really interesting with him because if he even starts showing flashes again of what he was, I think there is going to be a bidding war for him.

    I'm guessing Hoyer would offer one of our OF (Alcantara/Cassie), a cost controlled pitcher (Wicks), maybe Triantos or Pedro Ramirez and a lottery ticket pitcher. That seems pretty fair to me. I dont think it crushes our depth too much. Idk maybe i'm completely off.
  8. JBears79
    I'm still a believer in Alcantara. I'm expecting him to have a stronger 2nd half hopefully. Based on a few articles I have read, it seems like GM's around the league are expecting it too. I would gladly make a trade for him still.

    I'm just dreaming on a rotation 2 years from now anchored by Horton and Wiggins. The next Wood-Prior combo please!
  10. JBears79
    Hope this is Horton's first dominant start. Love what I've seen so far from him. If I remember right, he was holding 97 into the 5th last start. Continue building that stamina. Loving his progress so far.
  11. JBears79
    You are probably right haha

    Id like to see Brown moved to the bullpen. Not shutting the door on him starting but when Shota comes back I want Horton to stay in the rotation. Brown can really add another dynamic arm to the pen and still work on developing that command and 3rd pitch. They could also just keep him stretched out and piggy back him with Horton as well for innings management.

    Wicks is so annoying.
  14. JBears79
    Im confident Long's bat is going to play in the MLB. His ceiling will be determined by in game power and what he can play defensively.
  15. JBears79
    I brought him up a couple months back thinking he was a free agent at the end of the season. Im not too interested in him with two years left on that deal.
  16. JBears79
    Id trade Wicks before Wiggins to be honest. Wiggins has the frontline starter profile I love. Hes worth keeping imo.
  17. JBears79
    Yeah. I hope Long is playing 3B everyday from here on out at Iowa.
  18. JBears79
    The Astros when they took Correa, maybe? I know they took Correa and McCullers that draft with their first pick.
  19. JBears79
    Guess he wasnt ready for the show.
  20. JBears79
    I'm hoping they go college hitter in the first. They just seem to have success going that route. I do hope they continue the trend of taking guys with great raw power and that 11th round high school bat but I do expect another pitcher heavy one. The top of this draft seems to be pretty heavy with guys that can hit the snot out of the ball but need refining for in game power.
  21. JBears79
    Gotcha. Thanks. I wasnt able to see any highlights yesterday. I like the line. Command and control are the things I monitor the most with him. How did that look?
  22. JBears79
    nice first outing for him.
  23. JBears79
    Yeah. I gotta imagine Shaw will be on his way back up possibly as soon as tomorrow. Long just keeps hitting.
  24. JBears79
    I mean if this is what a Kyle Tucker slump looks like. Sign me up because despite his weakish contact lately, he's still creating runs and opportunities for the Cubs.
  25. JBears79
    Long has really been impressive. 3 for 4 now with 5 RBI's. Outstanding pick by the Cubs.
