witesoxfan Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 QUOTE (Stev-o @ Feb 5, 2015 -> 10:40 AM) Remember Felix Pie? Jerome Walton? Gary Scott? Prospects are just prospects, until they're proven commodities. Baseball history is chock-full with sensational "AAAA-players"; too good for AAA, not good enough for MLB. At the same time, all of those good players in the majors were prospects once too. Some of their top guys will flame out, but it's OK to say that the Cubs have a very good minor league system and it should translate to the MLB level to some degree.

I don't take chances when it comes to the possibility of "wearing" Cubs gear. Besides, if I agreed to your wager, you'd have to be rooting for the Cubs. You don't want to do that, do you?

caulfield12 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) The Rays and the Padres are the two-dark horse teams, although anything's possible with SD these days, seemingly. TB desperately needs some type of "win" for that fan base after all the disheartening losses of coaching/front office staff/talent from the roster.

For that price you HAVE to get a superstar out of it, and even then, you are getting zero surplus value out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
