Cards announcers were talking about how he's a cautionary tale for Cubs prospects, but you could tell the PBP guy was worried before he even finished his sentence Soler might run out of the dugout and hit another HR against them even though the Cubs are on defense.
As soon as the catcher set up on that pitch for Soler, I just started laughing. Cards announcers are fun tonight. "And here come the Cubs again, already."

For Iowa? Sure. I like him as a utility guy for Iowa. nah, he's a lefty IF with a nice approach and a little pop. not an everyday player for sure, but a nice bench guy who can play SS, too. He couldn't even OPS .700 at Iowa
11 picks are protected this year, right, because the Astros are picking twice? So we'd still have to finish with the 10th worst record but we'd be picking 11th in that case. Correct. We are still 2.5 games behind the Mets for the 12th pick, which is the first unprotected spot. And we hold the tiebreaker over everyone around us except for the White Sox.
He's on pace for like 7 wins at 24, and it isn't the first time he's played at this pace. If all they ask for is Baez, Almora and a couple of lesser guys, you thank them for their generosity. (I know, I'm completely bipolar on this issue).
