Cubs' Prospects FUTUREBONER thread

[PenFoe]

Former Cubs prospect Dan Vogelbach is coming up to the Mariners now that his Triple-A season is over. He's expected to play right away because Adam Lind recently sprained a finger.

Maybe you could start a new thread to talk about guys not on the Cubs anymore?

Or we could do what literally everyone else on earth will have done by 2018 and forget about him.

2018? I'd already forgotten about him within a week of him being traded.

Mike Montgomery has already been more useful to the Cubs than Vogelbach ever would have been, barring a meteor falling on Rizzo.

Bump for Ian Happ hitting a HR from each side of the plate during the AFL title game.

Despite not being much excitement after the top 3, it's worth noting (from this article on the top 30) that 11 of the top 30 prospects are in Triple-A this year, on a team with no obvious room. 

Seems like we could/should see some of these guys go this year.

Every team that's selling pitchers at the deadline will have Jepstink on speed dial.

I don't think people use speed dial anymore. They store contact information in their cell phone, and then either look that person up in their contacts and call them or just send them a text message. I give this post two Pinocchios.

Speed dial is picking up the phone and pressing only a button or two to call up the person, instead of dialing the full 10 digit. An these newfangled cell phones let someone pick up the phone, press a couple buttons and call up a person instead of dialing the full 10 digit. It is, as you may see now, a speed dial, after all.

Checkmate, bitch

Yeah, I lol'd when I first read this reply but then re-read it and realized the speed dial is the *only* way people use mobile phones.  BOO, RV--BOOO!

I think the idea of 'speed dial' is relative.  For example, it makes more than just a few buttons to dial a phone number.  I have to open the phone app, click on 'contacts', find the contact and call him/her.  Whereas in my car, in its bluetooth functionality, I can go to a 'speed dial' feature and just press the one button to call, assuming the contact is set in that function.

So, I'm not sure with whom I'm agreeing here but I definitely think the functionality of 'speed dial' still exists.

Speed dial is specific to landlines. Note that I didn't claim that the method for calling people on a cell phone was faster than a landline speed dial. The point is that people don't really use landlines (and their corresponding features e.g. speed dial) anymore.

Show me a screenshot of the term "speed dial" as a function in your cell phone menu and I'll eat my hatphone.

RV's extended hiatus has rendered his Desipio game so off-kilter that Yeti's pwning the fuck out of him with a simple flick of the wrist.  Sad!
