Cubs Draft Thread

[Richard Chuggar]

The Rangers totally snaked one of Hendry's targets in the 33rd round.

" Still, he is able to use his hands again and even play video games. "

So, give us a ruling then Dubbs. Paralyzed or no?

He's tetrallyzed.  Like about 95% of the insipiots here.

Bump.

Seems like this guy is the consensus?

6. Chicago Cubs ($3.25M): Albert Almora, OF, Mater Academy (FL)
There's really no other names attached to the Cubs at this point. The presence of Correa could create a difficult decision, and there might be some interest in Fried, but they clearly prefer the high school position players.

Based on Theo and Hoyer's comments regarding lack of organizational depth in pitching, I think if Zimmer's on the board they take him.

What's fun is that, after tonight, we can all start to have favorite players again.

I'm looking forward to those 30 joyous seconds before you start hating them.

Considering the YouTube videos of Almora feature a player named Albert who wears #5 for a team called the Cardinals, 15 seconds top.

There aren't that many Cub farmhands I've hated.  There was Korey, but I only started hating him after he came up.  Felix Pie inspired hope as did Bobby Hill.  Was never a big fan of Rich Hill.  I actually snapped a few pics of Brett Jackson and Josh Vitters last year at Fitch Park telling the eldest Murton to remember these guys that they might be good, and good soon. 

Had high hopes for many others.  But Hendry got his taint all over most of them.  And that was that.

He'll probably just wait until they play poorly for a stretch before telling us how he never thought they'd pan out.

I hate how he made them bad at baseball.

To be fair, I think even the mere thought of Hendry's taint would probably be enough to throw even a Bryce Harper off his game.

Does anyone think that Chuck wouldn't hate Trout and Harper if they were Cubs?

Get them here and see what happens.  But, not possible.  Epstink is terrible.

Albert Almora: SAVIOR

[World's #1 Astros Fan]

Did anyone hear the slurring used car salesman say "Cubs' first pick in the 2000 Draft"? 

God, I thought we had re-drafted Luis Montanez.

[Quality Start Machine]

Albert GETS IT!

(seriously, the Cubs picked a guy whose defining trait is hard work? Who are these guys?)
