chw42 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 11:46 PM) Josh Vitter, Felix Pie, Jake Fox, etc. are among my favorite examples. Every Cubs prospect is supposed to be the savior and it...doesn't work. To be fair, I'm not sure if there's ever been a Cubs prospect that's looked as good as Bryant.

shipps Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Apr 8, 2015 -> 02:34 PM) 0-15 RISP Its just a game and a half but they seem to have the same problems this year as they did last year. But I think its just going to take a while for their younger hitters to learn patience and rise to the occasion on a consistent basis. Its all part of development but a lot of Cub fans and media members have put them further along then they really are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Hampton contract didn't exactly work out there in COL. Ditto Darryl Kile (rip)... Has proven almost impossible since then to get frontline starters to agree on fa contracts....always seem to end up with Jamey Wrights of the pitching world.

fathom Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 02:19 AM) The Lester stuff seems to be a very real issue. The guy hasn't thrown to 1st base since 2013, and for whatever reason people finally caught on. It almost seemed like the Cubs wanted to prove he could do it, and they found out why he hasn't......something is up. He had nothing on his pitches tonight, which is odd coming after a week off. Their real ace goes tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) This Cubs bullpen is pretty good. Great stuff to go with Maddon's ability to manage a bullpen should make this group one of the best in baseball. That Feldman deal gets more ridiculous every year Edited April 14, 2015 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 We got 2/3 right. Ramirez and Abreu. Whiffed on Dayan. Missed on Puig and Soler, if we actually had the money/resources at the time to pull off either of those deals...same with Moncada (although the jury's still out on that one).
