Cubs' Prospects FUTUREBONER thread

[PenFoe]

First minor league affiliate to release their lineup: South Bend Cubs.

Highlights:
-Sands and Steele both make the jump from Eugene, though the pitching doesn't have a ton to be excited about.
- The OF is stacked: Donnie Dewees, Eloy and Eddy Julio, three legit prospects, all of whom are new to this level.

Some other names here and there, though those are the ones to be excited about.

Implications:
- Dylan Cease is going to play short-season in Eugene instead of making the jump. Suppose they're still limiting innings after TJ.
- Oscar De La Cruz is going to stay there too, for now.

DPD - Myrtle Beach Pelicans announced as well.

Gleyber and Happ as the double-play combo should be fun to watch.

Watch? Maybe on days when Hendricks is starting.

Actually, no. Not even then.

I do.

Not sure why rooting for the Cubs and being excited for the farm system has to be mutually exclusive.

That's a pretty hairbrained post from Eli.

Des Moines Register reporter Tommy Birch, 31, who frequently covers the Iowa Cubs, was arrested last night in a Buttpuddle County prostitution sting.



His Twitter has gone silent, but you can still ask him questions.

Cut the man some slack. Without hookers, that guy would never get any.

He looks like Gordo and Sullivan's fat lovechild.

Oh, my god.

And I will cut him some slack. As long as all the hookers were over 18, there is no reason this guy's pathetic life should be ruined.

I mean you're not wrong. Prostitution should probably be legal and good for him if that's how he's gonna get his shit broke off.

That said he's just a sad, boring turd on-line with no sense of humor so I don't like him based on that. I hope he doesn't get punched while he's in jail.

Yeah. Yeah. I know.  Prostitution is a crime against women, even though the majority of prostitutes are women.  The prostitutes are doing it because they are victims of society, etc., etc.  Now that I have admitted that, would someone tell me who was really hurt by his "crime" badly enough to put him in our overcrowded prison system?  

God

Well, now Subway has to reopen auditions...

Yeah, I'd say the farm system is still a pretty integral part of the whole "sustained success" thing that Jepstink has been building.

On that front, I didn't keep up with the Cubs that much this spring what with life and all that, but I did see a lot of Albert Almora in the highlights. That dude plays a mean CF, which we already knew, but it was great to see it on the TV machine. Is he still a liability with the bat or is he progressing?

I only saw him in the game against the Mets in Vegas, and everything went to the right side. Anybody know is going oppo is by design or if he was just late on everything?

I admit. I don't know. It would be really weird if he was late on EVERYTHING regardless of pitch speed. Like fucking impossible to do while still making some contact.

Almora hit .244/.255/.311 in Spring Training.
11-45 with 3 doubles, 7Ks and 1 BB.

Could have been way worse, but still pretty shitty.

CT said it best,  Eli

The big club is interesting again, you weird minor league following pederasts can close this thread down now.
