Ty Wright could be a platoon outfielder, Parker and Gaub could be fixtures in the bullpen, and Jay Jackson should be a middle of the rotation starter. Diamond and LaHair have an outside shot of being major leaguers based on their former top prospect statuses IMO.

I've come to the realization that the Cubs will never grow an All-Star out of their system. They'll never win the World Series (probably never win an NL pennant). And the Cardinals and White Sox will continue to win pennants and World Series every three or four years or so.

I'm throwing in the fucking towel. I can't take it anymore.

hmmmmm

So... besides Soto, Wood, Zambrano & Marmol....

Maybe we have really short memories?

[Fella]

I believe Soto leads all big league catcher's in OPS this year too.

[Butcher]

Don't use facts on me when I'm in baseball depression mode.

This should make it better for you Butcher.....Hayden Simpson (our 1st this year) will not pitch at all the rest of the summer due to mono. There you go [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

Our 20 year old shortstop has the 5th best OPS among shortstops in all of MLB. The only players that he is behind is Furcal (2 time all star), Troy Tulowitzki (2010 all star), Hanley Ramirez (3 time all star), and Alex Gonzalez (pulled a career year out of his ass, but still was a 1 time all star). I have a feeling Starlin will be an all star at some point.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

castro will be an all star, sooner than later too... imo, I wouldnt be surprised if he is an allstar in the next 2 seasons...

Samardzija drives me nuts. They're going to end up calling him up again, and once again he's going to suck ass.

IF they do call him up they should let him start, if he is doing well in starting roles just leave him there...

[Coach]

Great start by Raley

[Destined]

Love me some .219 Kyler Burke.

Every time I look up, he's hitting 2 doubles. Apparently I'm only looking up once a week.

<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I doubt his name ever gets mentioned in these captions if he goes 0-4 with 3 strikeouts, so it's probably just a coincidence. But yeah, it seems that is the case whenever I check this page as well.
