    I'm manifesting Jack Bauer, Number 24, Cubs 2029 Cy young Ace into existence. Also big fan of Neyens still, I think he can stick at 3B and I love power prospects. Quentin Young is very interesting to me and has MLB bloodlines. Cant rule out Devin Taylor either. Still a huge fan of Dean Curley too. That swing is quick and gorgeous. He gets his hands to the ball so fast with control and has excellent strike zone discipline.

    Is this Kohl Franklin's first start back?
  3. JBears79
    Yeah, I wish Lovich was at Myrtle Beach right now. Not putting a damper on his progress, its encouraging but I think he should be in full season ball right now. Big fan of his.
  4. JBears79
    Wiggins and Rojas should both be moving up a level here soon.
  5. JBears79
    Hell yeah Cade
  6. JBears79
    Completely fair. Cant really find anything I disagree with you on there. Id be for him as well.
  7. JBears79
    Gotcha. That makes sense. Everything ive read on him seems to think hes got a good shot sticking at 3rd but like you said it comes down to whether Kantrovitz sees him moving to 1B. I just love that potential 70 power grade ive seen a few times on him.
  8. JBears79
    What do you think of Neyens? I love his power potential and that he's a lefty 3B.
  9. JBears79
    I think he's getting promoted ASAP. Let him end his last start at South Bend with a dominant performance and start a new challenge with sky high confidence. I can definitely see him being an option in the pen in September.
  10. JBears79
    Just wish he could play 3B. I'm a fan but right now he feels like a bat only prospect that needs quite a bit of development defensively.
  11. JBears79
    Yeah. Maybe. That's a fair evaluation. He can do all that in AAA which is perfectly ok. I dont want to see him pitching in the big leagues right now until he has a long string of success down there. Cubs pitching has more than enough problems right now. His stuff just looks so hittable right now and for a guy whos supposed to have an elite changeup, it doesnt look elite to me.
  12. JBears79
    I'm kind of done with Wicks right now. He is so far down the pitching depth chart now for me.
  13. JBears79
    Hope he's back and starting where he left off last season. I had him picked to make quite a few starts this year pre injury.
  14. JBears79
    Fan fell on the field
  15. JBears79
    I have no clue what the Cubs are gonna do with Mo Baller this year, but I don't think you can trade him for anything short of an ace. The bat is special.
  16. JBears79
    I saw him mocked as high as 19 the other day. I'm interested in him. Though I would prefer a college hitter.
  17. JBears79
    I'd like to see him consistently barreling the ball before we bring him back. Happy he's getting hits and getting his confidence up but those were all weak contact except the first one. EDIT: Jason stated two were over 100 MPH and I didnt see that. I think my overall thoughts still stand though.
  18. JBears79
    Oh, good! Didnt see that they announced an update.
  19. JBears79
    If the Imanaga injury is dl stint worthy, I bet hes the next pitcher up.
  20. JBears79
    I love the new blues but no. The pinstripes are great and timeless. No need to get rid of them.
  21. JBears79
    I hope Jack Bauer makes it to the show so we constantly get "24" references on every broadcast he pitches in.
  22. JBears79
    I'm gonna choose to drink the koolaid and believe that Tom finally got his head out of his ass.
  23. JBears79
    I think he fits the makeup of this team. He's a good player, elite defensively at 2nd base and constantly makes contact to move runners or to get on base. Would I rather have a guy with more power at 2nd? Yeah but I dont think Nico is a problem for the Cubs or anything. He's a guy where when he career with the Cubs is done, I will remember it fondly for his makeup, defense and contact approach. As of now, we dont really have a replacement for him. In the long run, maybe Christian Hernandez or Shaw establish themselves there but he's our best option at the moment.
  24. JBears79
    lmfao. That comment is great.
  25. JBears79
    Yeah. Mo Baller is almost off limits for me. The bat is too good imo and can cover any current defensive liablities he creates. He's still incredibly young. Keep developing him at catcher until he becomes serviceable and then bring him up. With the way Jed and Carter have talked about him in the past, I suspect they are holding onto him as tightly as possible.
