There is zero reason to think they cannot produce next season.

Their MLB career stats prior to this year demonstrate that its a breakout year for 30 yr olds or near 30 yr olds. Ill write them in for next seasons roster but hold expectations to minimum

Oh, you mean based on the 80 total plate appearances?  Cool.

I think we found some nice bench/platoon pieces, but probably nothing more. Time to surround them and our up-and-coming bullpen with a few FA studs in the rotation and IF/OF.

Sure.  I think the possibility exists he can start given his glove so long as you surround him with some more long term producing FAs.  Certainly wouldn't consider him the future.

Wisdom, Schwindel, and Ortega should have a space on a ML roster next year. I don't know that all 3 will be on the Cubs, but they all belong on someone's 26.

Hard to get accustomed to September minor league ball.

Glad he's getting the exposure, he seems gassed though.  Hit a rough patch the last few weeks.

Pretty crappy returns thus far. I guess it's too early to judge, and should wait until these kids settle into the organization though.

I actually think the return has been pretty good.  Canario and Espinoza have been quite good and Killian looks to be a high upside pitcher who has been out due to covid. I think the top line numbers are deceiving cause they seesaw so easily. Deichmann and Ball haven't done much, but i think they were always going to be lotto tickets.  Lol i dont even remember getting Baily Horn.

Bailey Horn?  Meh.

 

 

Fucking Bailey Horn..

 

I'm beginning to think Bailey Horn fingered your cousin or something.

[funkster]

Well shit!

So much for that.  First two ABs, two big HRs.

Maybe he needed a new challenge?
