fukk that trade smh could have went harder for sale if we still giving up a top 5 prospect. We got more coming offensively we got a catcher and a shortstop in low minors that should shoot up but that cease thing hurt me.

You talking bout amaya and ademan? they're both 18 in rookie ball.Albertos has higher upside than cease,I bet cease is a reliever he can't stay healthy and had tommy john already.

and now the cubs can try to sign darvish this winter and restock the farm when they can spend internationally next summer.I aint trippin,goal is to win championships

Our system is already in place. You must have missed the HR Derby :shaq:

Buxton coming around, already the best defensive CF in the game, Sano is a legend, Berrios becoming an ace. It's all coming together :smugbiden:
oh 3 players ... nice bro

:skip:

Yea they the high upside position prospects and Alberto's hasn't really thrown but like 20 innings . I know cease was only at like a little over 100 but we talking bout a once talked about top 5 pick. So before the arm injury in high school this is like a giolito type prospect

Albertos was mad young and had a forearm strain so they shut him down to build up his strength.He has an urias type trajectory he was 17 in afl shytting down hitters.They just handling him super careful he should be good next year.Albertos is a 1-2 starter potential with 4 pitches

They just promoted alzolay to aa he'll be up by late '18 or early '19 if he maintains,he's been killing it.Allowed 2 hits and had 10 k's in his 1st aa start

And the cubs can spend internationally july 2 2018 torres and jimenez were international signings from '13 they'll be straight they'll contend for titles the next 4-5 years and have a new wave of prospects ready when some of the current core are gone in fa or traded.

My oh my, what a different tune you were singing last fall. :smhkobe:

In the world series he was great, now not so much and since happ is more versatile,provides the same power as a switch hitter so he makes schwarber expendable

You a tigers fan, you have absolutely nothing to look forward too,roster full of bloated contracts,declining old players and your team hasn't won a championship since 1984.I'd be miserable too
