Cubs' Prospects FUTUREBONER thread

The comps are few are far between. I saw one comparing him to Freddy Sanchez, but that was 2 years ago.  
And obviously fuck that.

Freddy Sanchez once hit .344 for an entire season with 53 doubles.

For the 88th time: Comps have nothing to do with career arcs.

That season is a ridiculous statistical outlier in Sanchez's career.

It's even better than Brady Anderson's

He had a career .297/.335/.413 line and was a plus defender in the middle infield. I would gladly take that from Torres over the long-term. All that comp (which I didn't make) is saying is that Torres has a similar scouting profile and skillset to Freddy Sanchez.

I can't believe we're doing this again.

You can stop anytime.

Or maybe you can't?

Don't take it out on me that you've hitched your wagon to Freddy Sanchez, Junior, Jr.

Well, considering that Jen-Ho Tseng is looking more and more like Chan-Ho Park, I needed to call an audible. 

Though I'm sure you'll tell me why I should be perfectly happy with Chan-Ho Park II.

South Korea and Taiwan are different countries, you racist.

Oh boy.  So, from a very rudimentary perusal at the stats...

Park, as a 21-year old in AA - 5.1 BB/9, 8.9K/9
Tseng, as a 20-year old in A - 1.3 BB/9, 7.3K/9

Park was also a better than average pitcher for 5 out of 6 years until Texas decided to pay him as a #1.  If Tseng has a 132 ERA+ as a 27 year old...cool.  Still doesn't make him a Park comp, though.

Most of the players you hate as comps had long careers as major leaguers. That alone is a tough bar to clear for most low-minors prospects.

We're not talking most low-minors prospects - we're talking about a very select group of awesome ones that I expect to all be Hall of Famers.

I'll just say if they've got the next Vlad Guerrero, Troy Glaus, Freddie Sanchez, Jose Vidro, and *randomly selects good but not historically great hitting catcher comp for Schwarber regardless of accuracy* Javy Lopez in the lineup they're gonna score a lot of fucking runs the next 5-6 years.

So then why get so butthurt over what they're doing right now?

You should really go back and see how many of your monthly posts for the last year or so are just attempts to stickpoke me. This obsession is unhealthy, Todd.

I have a feeling if he just waits 30 seconds, you'll post again telling him what that number is.
