Cubs' Prospects FUTUREBONER thread

[Yeti]

Nine games in, and Kris Bryant is off to a hot start.  Currently leading the Arizona Fall League in HR and OPS.  Almora is fourth in OPS.

Plus, Soler is playing today, so hopefully he and Bryant can both start in Tennessee in the spring.

Nobody should ever wish anybody to be in Tennessee in the Spring. Or ever.

With the exception of maybe Geneva, the Cubs' farm teams all play in shitholes of varying degrees. Good motivation to make them want to get to Chicago ASAP.

I wouldn't consider Des Moines a shithole. Maybe less interesting and cosmopolitan compared to Chicago, but it's far from a shithole.

Des Moines is great. That big city feel with a total lack of diversity.

So, perfection?

Daytona Beach is a shithole? All of it?

Depends on how much you like bikers...every bar I've been in has a "No Colors After 5:00" sign.

I don't remember seeing any bikers there, just a really nice view from a hotel on Daytona Beach Shores and the charming landmark that is Jackie Robinson Ballpark.  Maybe if I'd gone to the bars?

Maybe. Heaven knows ballplayers never go to them.

It lives up to its rep as the Toronto of Iowa?

There are numerous pockets of Chicago that are as shitty as anything you'll find anywhere in the U.S., including Detroit.

Thanks, I had no idea.

One such place is called "Lakeview."

Back when I first started working, I spent 14 days working for Camel at Daytona Bike Week. 

I also worked a Daytona 500 and a Firecracker 500 (Pepsi? I don't remember) at Daytona International Speedway for Winston. 

Yeah, it's a shit hole.

Two cigarette brands and Pepsi? You are terrible at being a hippie.

I have not worked for Pepsi.
It is a client of my current company and I have been involved, but never directly on the account.  

The Pepsi in the above post was in reference to the title sponsor of the race.

And the cigarette brands were both over 10 years ago.  

For now, I'll just be over here working on 2014 planning for the best organic bread money can buy, thankyouverymuch.

Bryant, Almora and Soler are good at hitting.

I just heard on The Score that the Cubs might be trading Samardzija to Arizona. I have... this link. That's all I have.

Stay tuned I guess.
