Cubs' Prospects FUTUREBONER thread

[World's #1 Astros Fan]

So has Wilson Contreras been discussed here before?  I heard Jed talking him up yesterday on the pre-game and took a gander to see the just-recently-turned 23 year old has an .875 OPS since being promoted to AA.

Methinks Jed may be talking him up to drum up his value in a trade, but he seems like the kind of guy that'd have been our top prospect 10 years ago, which obviously speaks to the organizational depth the Cubs have.  A quick glance at his defensive numbers shows he's clearly ahead of Schwarber, at least in gunning down runners (11 caught stealing in 26 attempts).

Taylor Davis
Positions: Catcher, First Baseman and Third Baseman
Bats: Right, Throws: Right
Height: 5' 11", Weight: 185 lb.
Born: November 28, 1989 in Jupiter, Florida, US (Age 25.180)

.371/.429/.614/1.043. 10 Ks, 7 BBs.  11 2Bs, 2 HRs.

Hmm....

He's having a nice season but at 25 he's getting to be a little long in the tooth, prospect-wise. 

Are you suggesting him as trade bait?

Yeah I think Taylor Davis is just whatever pseudonym Jake Fox is using this year.

Oh god...thanks for taking me back to when the Jake Foxes and Matt Murtons were what we were hanging our hats on to for prospect vitality.

Well he might be a better bench option than Mike Baxter so LET'S SEE WHAT HE'S GOT.

Yeah Mike Baxter's terrible and should be taken out behind the shed and mercifully put down.

He's still young, but his stats in AA this year are far outpacing anything he's done to date in his career. 

I don't think he's a real prospect, but hopefully they can get something for him.

Eloy's coming.

The Eloy Jimenez HR gives him the team lead with two, and he is now hitting 317/348/583 in 19 Cactus League EXST games (66 PA). In addition to the two home runs, Eloy also has four doubles and is tied for the team lead in triples with three (tied with Kevin Encarnacion), and he leads the team in RBI (15 ) and in runs scored (11). He has three walks and ten strikeouts in the 66 PA, and he has also stolen three bases (no CS).    

But seriously, Eloy is fucking coming.

Eloy Jimenez, RF: 3-3 (1B, HR, 2B, 2 R, 6 RBI)

Not that I'm not excited about Eloy Jimenez but on a scale from whatever the heck that "test cricket" is that I saw Tonk refer to on facebook to a CFL preseason game, where do extended spring training stats rank? I'm gonna say "low."

I heard he just crushed some balls off a tee in the cage yesterday.

I say we pencil him in for CF next year pending a BMI evaluation.

Eloy will be in Eugene shortly - first game is 6/18.  

BITCHES.

25.0

But he's a rightfielder.

In case you've never seen this, dude is huge.

I had seen that around and thought it was supposed to be Soler making Manny fucking Ramirez look small. Didn't realize it was Eloy. My God. There's two of them.
