Cubs' Prospects FUTUREBONER thread

Who???

from the SunTimes:
"Cubs Class A Daytona infielder Dustin Geiger doesn't get the attention of Cuban hitting prospect Jorge Soler or promising infielder Javier Baez, but he is making a name for himself with his play.

Geiger, 21, was named the organization's minor league player of the month for May after hitting .307 with eight doubles, one triple, three home runs and 23 RBI in 27 games. He drew 11 walks—a statistic rating high with the new Cubs hierarchy – for a .368 on-base percentage. He had a .495 slugging percentage"

He's got more walks this year than last already, in 2/3 the ABs.

Of course, he's a first baseman. The Cubs are ass-deep in those.

Well, those guys do grow on trees.

So Appel. Or Gray. But definitely not Bryant.

So Appel. Or Gray. But definitely not Bryant.

Unless it's Bryant.

Or possibly Stewart. Or maybe even someone else entirely.

Could be Ryan Harvey.  Luke Hagerty.  Mark Pawelek.  Lou Montanez.  Hayden Simpson.

Oh shit, does this mean that some Peoria vixen is going to father the new #1 draft pick's baby?

Did Michelle Grace leave Ray Liotta?

I thought it was going to be a St. Charles or Geneva trixie.

I just want to know whom to get a semi-chub over.

I'd love to see the Astros take Bryant, because the last time they took a collegiate aluminum-swinging home run king/third baseman it was Phil Nevin. And fuck the Astros.

You mean, former Cub Phil Nevin?

Wasn't he another one who basically traded himself away?

By the way, I just looked up the 2001 MVP voting.  What does it tell you about baseball at the turn of the Millennium that Phil Nevin's .306/.388/.588 41HR 126RBI was only good for 21st on the list?  Fucking insane.

It reminds me of the fun times. Barry: .328/.515/.863 73/137

Gray or Appel?  Who cares?  The Cubs, in my opinion, are in a can't lose position.  With the obvious caveat that taking a pitcher comes with throwing the dice on when he will need Tommy John surgery.  But as between the two pitching prospects the Astros relieve the Cubs of the pressure of choosing between the two.
