Cubs' Prospects FUTUREBONER thread

Schwarber, 3-4 with a homer in his first game for Boise.
For now, playing catcher. Also committed an error.

Nice to see him on the field so quickly.

I wrong-threaded Schwarber's stats, but so far through 3 games he's 7-11 with two dongs. Only K'd once.

Bryant is still hitting above .350 and is drawing walks, too. Javy went yard after an awful 0-9 streak where he K'd 5 times.

Boise has started its season and the AZL Cubs will start their season this weekend. This is where a lot of young players from most recent drafts that were either injured coming out of their draft or needed extra time in extended spring training will find their professional debuts. Lots of interesting names there, like pitchers Josh Conway, Trey Masek, Ryan McNeil, Trevor Clifton, and Erick Leal; catchers Mark Malave, and of course Schwarber; OF Jeffrey Baez.

I think Torres and Jiminez might find themselves at the AZL Cubs level.

The point is we'll start hearing about some of these interesting, non-Bryant/Baez/Schwarber types real soon.

I do believe Torres and Jimenez are going to the DSL

I read on BN that "perhaps" they'll go to the AZL, which is the lowest official affiliation to MLB in the US.

Javy went yard after an awful 0-9 0-21 streak where he K'd 5 9 times.

Further back'd.

When can we start getting excited about Eric Jokisch for real? Kyle Hendricks has been getting all the buzz as far as Iowa pitchers go, but Jokisch's numbers are comparable.

When gets to the Major Leagues and produces something like the season Jake Arrieta's having.

Are we allowed to be excited about Arrieta yet? Seems like it could be a fluke. I think we should probably just not be excited about anything. That seems safe.

I won't say I'm excited like I expect him to be awesome forever. But I've read some stuff about things that I probably don't understand that say he's doing things, like getting a lot of ground balls and throwing strikes, that could mean he's actually learning to pitch instead of throw baseballs real hard.

That leaves me encouraged at the very least.

He also throws baseballs real hard, which is awesome too.

Kyle Schwarber played left field last night and had two hits, one being a triple.

Kyle Schwarber played left field last night and had two hits, one being a triple.

So, Schwarber in left. Almora in center. Bryant... stays at third. Soler... goes to right?  Getting crowded.

Nice.
