July 13, 20178 yr QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 10:09 AM) Frankie Montas was a throw in the Peavy deal and he at least turned into a top prospect we could trade. Just woke up and stunned I'm old enough to remember when Frankie Montas was one of the most interesting WS prospects to follow...
July 13, 20178 yr QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 11:38 AM) beautox good call on June 22 in other Q thread . " Cubs - Jimenez + Cease + Albertos" . Pretty damn close !
July 13, 20178 yr For a good laugh you guys should check out the Astros subreddit "Good, I was really worried that we would overpay for mediocrity." 16 points an hour ago "Smells like a Drayton move. This’ll bite CHI in the ass down the road, not to mention Quintana isn’t enough to boost the Cubs’ 2017 postseason aspirations." 6 points an hour ago
July 13, 20178 yr Hahn asked Theo in middle of the first inning Sunday whether they still wanted starting pitching

July 13, 20178 yr Wow... what a great return. Eloy Jimenez can MASH. Cease is an interesting arm... has a nasty curve and can be a top of the rotation dude. I don't know much about Rose and Flete. The Astros and Yankees really dropped the ball here. Keep that phone active, Rick. DRob and Kahnle are in high demand.
July 13, 20178 yr Guys our #11 overall pick isn't even in our top ten right now. We had like 10 straight years where the latest first round pick was always #1
July 13, 20178 yr Future is bright, everyone here knows that not all prospects are going to pan out, but boy is our future rotation scary and an outfield of Robert and Jimenez is something to dream on. I expect 4-7 more trades before the deadline and I think we wind up with 2 more top 100 prospects when its all said and done. Additionally I think Fulmer falls off the top 100 but Hansen takes his place.
July 13, 20178 yr QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 11:01 AM) Sox were the only team out there actively selling off premium pieces when many teams should have been more proactive. Hahn waited, and ended up getting a major return. Sale/Eaton/Quintana netted the Sox: Moncada Kopech Basabe Diaz Giolito Lopez Dunning Jimenez Cease Rose Flete Combine that with signing Luis Robert, and drafting Burger/Sheets WOW THIS has me all kinds of excited.
July 13, 20178 yr so in addition to having a stacked farm system - also keep on mind how absolutely little money we have tied up in 2018 and beyond Edited July 13, 20178 yr by daa84
July 13, 20178 yr Can't believe this actually happened, with all the social media smoke yesterday and phantom tweets and Katy perry a booty hole it's like you can't make this stuff up. It was good scooping between Cease being scratched and Jimenez sitting yesterday and lines up with Hahns time line.
July 13, 20178 yr QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 11:02 AM) Not really sure what Abreu accomplishes on this team at this point. is he worth keeping around so can he be a mentor to Moncada next year and Robert soon after?

July 13, 20178 yr QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 09:34 AM) Hahn, you are the f***ing man. Played the league like a fiddle. Waiting was the correct thing to do. Give me Eloy over Tucker all day long. Now that it's over can I just come out and say.. Tucker = Paul Pfeifer As Baseball Player
July 13, 20178 yr QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 11:25 AM) so in addition to having a stacked farm system - also keep on mind how absolutely little money we have tied up beyond in 2018 and beyond if Hahn can move Robertson, Frazier, Melky and Abreu, the 2019 payroll is going to be peanuts at which time Hahn can go out and make a big splash in free agency. he has positioned this team nicely thus far. i'm excited about the future that's for sure.

Can be used to fill those positions that aren't taken by members of the core or if someone's development takes longer than anticipated. More importantly it could be used at one of the big name FA coming up and will help fill out a bullpen. Realistically do we get anymore top-100 prospects from the players we still have to trade?
