Cubs' Prospects FUTUREBONER thread

Adding, Max Szczur!

He's like 40 and sucks.

But 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.

If the queen had balls.

Lots of bonerificism on Twitter over the Cubs signing Vandy coach Derek Johnson to be new minor league pitching coordinator.

We all just need to take a nap for 2 years and then wake up for the championship.

Good hire. A lot of teams were after him. He's had 6 of his pitchers go in the first round.

And I bet every one of them has awful mechanics and awful, awful body language.

The key part is done. Now all we need is talent. Sweet sweet talent.

I saw the compliments from Keith Law and Pete Gammons. I'm not sure how they became Derek Johnson experts but I'm guessing they've just heard that a few teams want him so he must be the greatest coach of all time.

I'm glad he's with the Cubs but since I've never heard of the guy it would be pretty strange for me to assume he's going to end up some kind of miracle worker.

Maybe I'm still butthurt from the Rudy Jaramillo Era.

Or maybe you're just a huge negative doucheballoon that wants to throw a wet blanket on everything.

Sorry. Max Zherxer is the best.

My boss' son pitched for Vanderbilt and is now in the Rays' minor league system. He thinks Johnson is an awesome coach and a really good get for the Cubs, so there's that.

I realize this info is worth next to nothing, but ... it was time to post.

I assume the Cubs now have the rights to David Price as well.

I was on the fence before I read this post.

Now that they've hired Derek Johnson and solidified the pitching prospects for the next 20 years, they've moved on to ensuring that all new hitting prospects will turn into future Travis Sniders, J.P. Arencibias, Adam Linds, Brett Lawries?

Luckily, looks like he's outgrown his punchable face.

Now if you want to talk batting coaches and faces...



Buckner never should have shaved off his 'stache.

But look at the Boise Hawks' team line from 2012.

Sploosh.

Because his moustache had all the good lines.
