Every mention on Soler talks about his body, which makes me think he'll suck. But I really want to believe...

Really? I've seen plenty of highlights of giant homers and plenty of talk about his arm, speed, and gorgeous swing.

But if you're just putting up your guard I honestly don't blame you.

He seems different, in that he isn't striking out on 4 pitches every at bat..  and you'd have to think the minor league instructors will have a plan for the first time in forever.. I'm not sure what to think, it's an odd feeling. Baez, Soler, vizcaino, vogelbach all seem like legit prospects. And we have the #2 pick in the draft. What a time to be alive.

Don't forget Almora. He's going to be a fucking beast. I still wouldn't cash out on Brett Jackson or Josh Vitters just yet either.

This is very disconcerting.

It's probably time for a Huey-esque projection of the championship lineup for our Shy-town Cubbiez.

Jackson              LF
Castro                SS
Rizzo                  1B
Meatcake Soler     RF
Baez                   3B
CaNo, Chuck        2B
Beaf Wellington     C
Almora                 CF

Price
Snork
Garza
Vizcaino
Edwin

Some cheap bullpen guys Hoystink sign who are awesome

Now we can all look back on this post in a couple years and have a good chortle.

Meatcake Soler?
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

Are they going to do a home/road split in the 6-man rotation, or just run it on 5 days rest?
I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

Very low advance rates if you are using them as collateral.
