Cubs' Prospects FUTUREBONER thread

[BH]

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. 

Or Bryant.

Appel is much closer to a finished product in terms of mechanics and repertoire, reminiscent of Mark Prior at USC. And with Dusty ruining arms elsewhere these days, he'd be a helluva pick. Unless it's Gray. Or Bryant.

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.

True story: A buddy of mine that I used to work with who's from Detroit (this may or may not be relevant) had apparently very good inside information that Nevin is a big fan of pegging.

I'm assuming I'm using that term right as I learned it in the SBox just a few short weeks ago, but what I mean is that Nevin apparently likes his women to strap-on and take it to him.

My friend told me this story in roughly 2000-2001, for context.  

Do with this what you please.

Very good inside information? Your friend was into it as well?

THIS.

Outstanding.

Kris Bryant is the pick.  I positive.  With Appel gone, I'm glad they took Bryant over Gray.  Bookmarking this so when Gray wins three straight Cy Youngs and Bryant retires next year I can relive the temporary positive.

Just goes to show you.  Pay no attention to anything that I predict.

TIME TO QUOTE!

It's looking more like whichever of Appel or Gray the Astros don't take.

So Appel. Or Gray. But definitely not Bryant.
