Cubs' Prospects FUTUREBONER thread

[SKO]

Hoyer acknowledging that, at some point, they're trading hitters to the Mets for pitchers.

"I guess when you factor in the hitting and the pitching, I guess people think it's unusual," Hoyer said of the fact the teams haven't hooked up on a trade.

"But it'll happen at some point."

I guess I'm resigned to this fact now - after seeing Cubs pitching in action over the past month. They can have Alcantarra for deGrom. The fuckers.

Alcantara and how many more guys?

Jackson, McKinney, Murton and Ross.

Stop trading McKinney, you monster.

McKinney promoted to AA.

I assume we'll see an OF of McKinney, Almora and Rademacher with Hannemann getting exiled to loserville.

McKinney-Schwarber-Vogelbach at 2-3-4 is mighty fine.

This is good to hear, because we know how much Fork cares about the AA playoffs.

It's good to hear because it means that McKinney can destroy Tennessee the rest of this year, start next year in Iowa and then be the Cubs regular LF by June 2016 at 21 years old, with Bryant at 3B and Schwarber behind the plate.

Oh I get why you're excited about Billy McKinney, I was just laughing about the "2-3-4" comment like the Tennessee batting order matters at all, and it reminded me of when we ribbed Fork last year for his comment about the Cubs keeping Bryant or Soler in Tennessee for the AA playoffs or...whatever, forget it.

It is so hard to tell if you're being serious when you talk about prospects. Impressive work.

Javy went 2-4 with no Ks today also.

I am totally, except when I'm not. 

But I do love Billy McKinney.

The big club is interesting again, you weird minor league following pederasts can close this thread down now.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if Almora gets to enjoy the ocean breezes in Myrtle Beach. He's starting to look stalled out.

I'd demand an apology if I wasn't as wrong about Montero as I was right about Almora.

Not going to disagree that Almora may well be a BUSTANZO BEAN but I can't imagine they'd demote him.  Let him see if he can stop sucking ass on his own at AA; it's not looking they're wanting their minor league teams to win games.

I'm still not sure why he was promoted to AA in the first place last summer.

This is now my favorite thread because it gave birth to the term BUSTANZO BEAN.

Agreed.  Remember that they did it at the same time they promoted Baez to the bigs, and Soler to AAA if I'm not mistaken.

Almora's promotion seemed premature at the time and he's done little since then that would refute this.  All the more reason to just leave him up now; he's already 100 games deep, let him try to figure it out here.
