In the ocean where the sharks be at
5 in a row for the Cubs. :ohhh:

If we keep stacking these wins and get closer to that second wildcard spot, Baez, Bryant and Alcantara might get called up:ohlawd:

No draft thread? Supposedly the Cubs surprised mofos with their selection.

After the top 3 pitching prospects got scooped, we took the best college bat. He went higher than expected and some thought we'd take Jackson if we took a position player but Schwarber has the potential to hit the majors ext year. We're going to sign him underslot and sped the rest on some of these hard to sign top young prep pitchers to overslot deals.

LOL @ Andre Ethier

I mean, on one hand it's a smart long-term play to not run full speed into the wall........but on the other hand giving up on the ball led directly to the loss :heh:

Best college bat.....who probably doesn't have a position. Maybe a corner, but the Cubs are pretty deep at the corners. That's the biggest surprise probably.

I wanted Nola at 8. He went 7. :snoop:

Yeah, I doubt he sticks at catcher. He'll more than likely end up in left. Unless someone emerges, our top positional prospects are pretty much set as far as what position they'll play. He doesn't really have anyone blocking him so if he rakes and we're in contention, he could be up as soon as July '15
