Cubs' Prospects FUTUREBONER thread

[Bort]

I don't care if it's Ian Happ or Gleyber Torres or Jesus H. Christ himself come down to pick up the mitt and try his hand at the sport, if Theo is making any prospect in the system unavailable for a trade that could help them win a World Series this year, when they will have arguably the best shot they will ever have (even accounting for how young this team is and how good it will probably be, they are historically good RIGHT NOW), because said prospect might be a better option than Zobrist or Baez at second three years from now I'm going to scream.

I don't think anyone is arguing on the other side of this.

Huh. You're right. I went back and re-read it and Eli was the one being all ironclad "there's no room for Happ!'" when I assumed it was you being all "don't trade one of my precious prospects" again.

Eli, that's dumb. If Ian Happ doesn't get traded and can play they'll find a spot for him. Stop hating on Pen's precious prospects.

The important thing is that you had a thought and posted it. Gord forbid you miss one.

I think it's just animatronic robot administrator SKO.
It posts automatically whenever anyone walks into the room.

I appreciate the appropriate level of stankface that Fillmore et al are giving a black president.

If that's Andrew Johnson back there, someone at Disney is trolling his legacy hard.

Also will never stop laughing at how much Fillmore looks like old, fat Alec Baldwin.

Let's see who is laughing when they hire him to play the title role in "The Life Of Millard Fillmore"!

Great. Another show I can't get tickets to.

Minor correction: It would obviously be titled much more dramatically, like:

MILLARD

The rap battle about the Wilmot Proviso is pretty epic, though.

I thought calling that song about his political party "I Don't  Want to Be Called Yo Whigga" was pretty tasteless, though.

PS: Still laughing my ass off at the Baldwin comp.

Time for some Eloy love.

He was named MVP of the Midwest League all-star game last week after driving in 4 RBIs including a 3-run homer in the 9th. 

For the season at South Bend: 
274 ABS, 10 HR, 54 RBI, 64 Ks (23.5%), 17 BBs (6%), .342/.380/.551

I assume they'll leave him there for the season, though a call-up to Myrtle isn't totally impossible.

[ChuckD]

Eloy is awesome.

[Eli]

Eloy is awesome.

Confirmed by the guy in the blue shirt sitting behind home plate.

He's 19, no reason to rush him. But when the Cubs decide he's ready, it's not like it's going to be a tough choice between him and Jeffrey Baez for who gets RF.

Unless he's in the Yankee farm system come August 1st.

If it's for Miller, I'm cool with it. It would suck to launch him for a rental.

What does any of this have to do with Millard Fillmore?
