Cubs' Prospects FUTUREBONER thread
« on: August 16, 2012, 08:06:15 AM »

Jackson and Vitters are overmatched in Chicago, at least for now.

Baez, Soler and Almora are raking the ever loving shit out of A ball pitching.

Matt Szczur got moved up to AA, where he's still not showing good numbers, but they've been improving.

Dillon Maples is getting started in Arizona, and he's looking overpowering in a small sample size.

For those who actually get to see some of these guys in action, have at it.

Big Dan Vogelbach. Nowhere to play on the Cubs, but he's awesome anyway.

He's lost over 40 pounds since being with the Cubs. He's probably around 250 now.
Fielder has to weigh over 300.

I think we all can agree that it would be nice for juan pierre to gain 200 pounds?
He could roll hamburgers down the left field foul line.

That kind of rounded profile is what he's looking for.

Nicely played, MiLB.com.

bump/DPD.

Javier Baez has a thumb fracture and was shut down. The most encouraging thing here is that he's starting to make the transition to third base.

Next season if you want to sport full Future Cub chub, go to a Kane County game. These guys are going to score a fuckload of runs.

He's like 40 and sucks.

QuoteBut Szczur, 23, is using the AFL to regain his patience and batting eye slowly after batting .210 with a .285 on-base percentage in 35 games at Tennessee.

You're half-right.

23 year old who can't hit AA pitching? Oh cool - let me start sewing that flag so we can run his number up there in 15 years.

I said you were half-right, meaning he sucks. If he were 23 and didn't suck he wouldn't be considered old.
