Cubs' Prospects FUTUREBONER thread

[Quality Start Machine]

Catcher Cael Brockmeyer is a name that has popped up a bunch early in the year. He had a game winning walkoff dong in the first game for South Bend and 6 of his 7 hits are for extra bases.

Not sure he's ever been mentioned on any top prospects list, so maybe it's just a nice job of hitting by someone who we may never hear from again. He is a 16th round pick in 2013 out of California State University Bakersfield, home of the Roadrunners.

You might remember him from such roles as "Tall goofy looking catcher in Kane County" from last year.

Man, you're a regular Arizona Phil.

He downloaded the MiLB app last week.

I find IAN's childlike exuberance over every single Cubs prospect rather amusing. Let him be, gang.

I'm on board.  I certainly didn't mean that as an insult.

I positive!

I wasn't judging. Pen and I obsessed over this shit last year. I'm glad IANs on board

Yes.  But can he frame pitches?

IAN's first Hannemann post is going to be a real line in the sand for us.

Soler to Iowa.  Almora to Tennessee.  Tomorrow.

2015 is going to be fun. 2016 is going to be awesome.

Also some prospect named Arismendy Alcantara hit one out on to Sheffield today.

so you're saying we can flip these guys for Francoeur?

There'd be little to no downside.

DPD.

So, apparently in addition to doing some decent hitting in AAA (.294 with 15 homers and a .790 OPS) Francouer is pitching in El Paso this season.

6.1 IP, 4.26 ERA, 4/3 K:BB ratio.

Huge missed opportunity for the Cubs here.

Epstink is terrible.

He's going to Iowa on Monday. And Chris Brian will replace him.

Don't they need to DFA someone for Bryant too?

I think the 40 man is just at 39 right now.

I think so. The injuries and Alcantara's struggles have me moving the date. Kasper was on WSCR today strongly suggesting Mendy's going to get sent down.

Has Russell ever played 2B prior to today? They gave Baez almost 3 weeks of playing time at 2B in Iowa last year before they called him up.
