Any of you have prospects you're particularly interested in that may be under the radar and not often discussed? Mine would be Benyamin Bailey, 6'4 215 pound 17 year old in DSL. Purely a meatball take due to his size and numbers so far. Here's a quote about him on Reddit "He's from Panama, and comes from a youth program that has placed several prospects in different organizations (including a few that have progressed very quickly). He's very big, but lanky, and is known for his natural hitting and some raw pop. In his youth ball, he was the star hitter on his team, and played a combo of 1B and OF. He has the size and speed to stick in the OF and might be able to play in center. He will likely bulk up once stateside, and that power should be more evident." Sam Abbott is another one

He's one of the most intriguing prospects to me. His eye has always seemed legit. Pretty raw prospect as well.

Heblows The ump, that is

Can't argue with that lol

Ricky has not been defending his guys against the Cubs tonight. He puts an injured Yoan in last night. Leury keeps playing hobbled. Very questionable decisions.

Ozzie would have been out there defending his guys

He shows up big time in big games

Any chance Collins pinch hits against a eighty or naw? Risky of course

Getting Robert on an extension would be pretty nice. Not sure he does it give his signing bonus. If he truly earns a call up this year, getting him acclimated and ready for next season would be great. He has so few minor league at bats though. Probably a pipe dream.

Killing my Benyamin Bailey buzz.

Benyamin Bailey is gonna make it. That's my uneducated meatball take.

Trading Sale, Quintana, and Eaton for prospects isn't rebuilding to you?

Eloy was a product of the rebuild though. Without the rebuild, there is no Eloy, no Giolito, no Yoan. The team would be very ugly without the rebuild.

He showed a decline in his early 30's then regained godlike form and is pitching as good as ever, at age 36. This season and last season are arguably his best ever. It's just rare a power pitcher has career years at 35 and 36

Guess they'll have to ban Eloy from Wrigley now

What's the most popular Cubs site? PSD? I went looking, but there's no forum as active or even as close to as good as soxtalk. I figured given the giant fanbase they would have one halfway decent site.

@greg775 are you ready to admit the rebuild was worth it?

No, I don't

Baseball is being taken over by a bunch of PC wimps.

Yeah that's a blatant ripoff of the Bronx Bombers. That's why mine is better

Bronzeville Bomb Mob

Treat Goober with some respect or I report

You forgot ron

What happened with Moncada exactly?

Are the AAA parks equipped with the technology n/to capture that data? Or is it just from foot soldiers marking where the hits went?
