Cubs' Prospects FUTUREBONER thread

[Saul Goodman]

I think we've settled it: Sterling is a stupid idiot for wanting to watch baseball sometimes.

Finally, I have answers.

[SKO]

I think we've settled it: Sterling is a stupid idiot for wanting to watch baseball sometimes.

I have to admit I am laughing at the fact that right now we're all proving the "Do you nerds even watch the games" crowd right.

[Slaky]

I think we've settled it: Sterling is a stupid idiot for wanting to watch baseball sometimes.

Well that's certainly not what I'm saying. We're all Cubs fans so we're all stupid idiots.

I'm not saying that either. I don't care what Sterling watches. My only point is that it was time to post. So I did what I had to do.

No, I know. I was just amused that his innocent FYI about the MiLB TV package was met with such disdain.

[Powdered Toast Man]

Neil Ramirez doesn't look like what I would picture a Neil Ramirez to look like.

We need a good season.

I assume this is what you were expecting?

Probably more like this:

[Eli]

DPD.

Theo and Jed should probably tell Ricketts to stop talking.

Keteyian: "It's a roll of the dice in a lot of ways. Is there a Plan B if this doesn't work?"

Ricketts: "I'm not sure there is a Plan B."

[Tony]

What's he supposed to say? That when Bryant and Baez flop they'll spend a shit ton of money? That will only make the meatballs less patient for them to add to the payroll. It sounded like a vote of confidence in Theo and Plan A to me. And at this point in the process what else is he supposed to say or do?

"Good organizations are always able to adapt. We're confident in our current path but if we ever need to adjust, we have the best front office in baseball to make those adjustments."

His quote makes them sound unprepared, naive and inflexible. Never something you want to hear, but especially not right now when 4 of the team's top 5 prospects have had such poor starts to their seasons.

What's important is that we haven't had to talk Eli off the ledge in a good 7-10 days. 
It was a good run.

What we lost; what we never had.

Yes. But the reality that most people get is that it's just Tom that's unprepared, naive and inflexible.
