Soler and Bryant with home runs last night.

FWIW, I've seen the group of Alacantra/Baez/Bryant/Soler/Russell/Almora/Schwarber referred to as "The Manificent Seven", which might be selling McKinney short.

They can be the Manificent 8, too.

Or we could just not create group names for them at all.

But if we did, we would spell it right.

I like Manificent. They are men, after all.

I'm just going to call them the 2016 World Series Champion Chicago Cubs.

But if we're grouping the prospects together I'd say seven is fine. Bryant/Baez/Russell/Soler/Almora/Schwarber/Alcantara are the seven expected to contribute in the next two years. McKinney and then guys like Eloy and Gleyber are all kind of the second wave, who will hopefully just end up being trade bait once the others all pan out and hit all of the baseballs.

Arismendy is 4-for-5 today with a double, triple, 3 RBI, 2 R. Brb, buying a shirsey.

Mendy is the best, Jerry. The best.

Chuck hates the name "mendy" so from now on he shall only be referred to as Mendy.

Even as optimistic as I am about all these guys, I don't think we're talking about Almora on the Cubs in 2 years.
I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

Works for me.
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.
