Jorge Soler Zero Percent Financing Thud On The Shower Door SPLOOGE Fest

[Eli]

It's probably time for a Huey-esque projection of the championship lineup for our Shy-town Cubbiez.

Jackson              LF
Castro                SS
Rizzo                  1B
Meatcake Soler     RF
Baez                   3B
CaNo, Chuck        2B
Beaf Wellington     C
Almora                 CF

Manaea
Price
Snork
Garza
Vizcaino
Edwin

Some cheap bullpen guys Hoystink sign who are awesome

Now we can all look back on this post in a couple years and have a good chortle.

2013 Drafted.

Maybe, but the draft is a long ways off. I guess it's better than your last draft prediction.

Is this DRLP?

The first thing that catches one's eye is Soler has the build of an elite athlete. He has a lean muscular frame that oozes athleticism.

Soler's upper legs are well developed and provide him with a powerful base.

His chest and back are impressive too, but further growth of his upper half shouldn't be unexpected.

Despite the layoff, Soler's tools are exceptionally loud.

speed he generates with his hands and hips

enormous penis

His hands begin in a high load and require minimal movement before he rifles them forward in conjunction with his hip turn

It feels kinda warm in here.

I hope no one runs you off.

BUMP for this guy's own thread.

With him now reaching the 400 AB mark, here's where he's at, career-to-date:

.303/.370/.505 - 16 homers, and a 70/40 K/BB rate.

Pretty outstanding for a 22 year old.

Also, since he's under contract and he's on the 40-man, they can call him up anytime and not have to worry about some of the issues like with the other guys.

I expect Soler Power to come to Wrigley in September (quick, someone call Lou Manfredini to tie this in with some promotion before the Cubs say bye-bye to WGN for good), if for no other reason that he'll need the AB's, and the bigs'll be the only place to do that in September (being on the 40-man makes this a slam-dunk IMO).

pretty proud of the thread title if I do say so.

It deserves mention in the thread title hall of fame.

So far in AA this year:

20-47 with 14 of those 20 hits being for extra bases (9 doubles, 5 homers.)  
11 Ks, 6 BBs.
.426/.491/.936

We would be splooging all over if his Slugging was his OPS.  

Also, I read somewhere today that Keith Law actually preferred Soler to both Puig and Cespedes as a prospect.  
So, take that for what it's worth.

Maybe here, but it's Insider-protected, so I don't know.

Health is the only issue here. Probably a shot to see him in September in Chicago. He's under contract so service time isn't an issue.

That's not quite right.

Once Soler becomes eligible for salary arbitration, he will have the right to choose arbitration instead of the annual salaries specified by his contract, according to a major-league source.

Jorge Soler named Southern League Player of the Week.

Soler was the league's hitter of the week after going 10-for-18 with four home runs and eight RBIs in six games.
...
Soler marks the fifth time the Smokies have won the hitter's award.

Literally every player in the Cubs system is "under contract," otherwise he wouldn't be there.
