My favorite teams
Post-draft and huge signing, new thread with a corny prefix I saw in chat. Dewey, if you disagree, merge them, no problem. But seeing as you do cut off threads after a certain point, I thought now would be the time.
AAA Iowa Cubs - The Big Three
Starring for the Iowa Cubs LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh... no seriously, Anthony Rizzo, Brett Jackson, and the re-emergence of Josh Vitters. Rizzo was acquired in January for Andrew Cashner (Zach Cates and Na) were also involved, and has hit 22 homers already for Iowa, despite injuries limiting playing time recently. He leads the Pacific Coast League, and only one player in the AAA International League and one in the Mexican League have more. Rizzo leads the Minors in OPS.
UPDATE: Anthony Rizzo to Chicago
AA Tennesse Smokies - Fisching on a Lake
Junior Lake is the only one of our upper level prospects playing for the Tennessee Smokies besides Trey McNutt who is pitching well but not eating up enough innings.
A+ Daytona Cubs - Julius Szczur Has Been Assassinated!
No, really though, Matt Szczur had a dreadful start to the season, but then surged to make his numbers closer to being respectable. After a couple days of not playing and no injury report, he was DL'ed. Was a BA Top 100 Prospect heading Into the season.
Update: Szczur has rebounded nicely since injury.
A- Peoria Chiefs - Baez Town
#3 Cubs prospect pre-Soler Javier Baez has been the big show in Peoria after being added to the Chiefs roster shortly before the end of extended spring training. #3 Cuban prospect that defected for the 2012 season Gerardo Concepcion is inconsistent and new signing, arguably the #1 Cuban defector this year, Jorge Soler is expected to join the team after his visa process is completed.
Update: Concepcion and Baez struggling (Concepcion all season, Baez just recently).
SS-A Boise Hawks - Sad Time for Simpson
The Boise Hawks start on the 17th. 2010 First-Round Pick Hayden Simpson was demoted from Daytona to Boise.
Update: Keep an eye on 3B Jeimer Candelario.
R Mesa Cubs - Because it Sounds Better than AZL Cubs
Yet to start. Officially AZL Cubs
Update: Vogelbach has started strong. Gretzky has struggled.
R DSL Cubs1 - Supposed to be better than DSL Cubs2 but aren't.
Yeah, won't know much about prospects until later.
R DSL Cubs2 - Better than the DSL first squad.
See DSL Cubs1 summary
F Chicago Cubs - Yes, It is Really That Bad
If it weren't for SS phenom Starlin Castro, the Chicago team would be the worst in the organization. I would also like to add that Geovany Soto is a beast.
N/A Draft Pool
The draft is over, but the big prize has yet to sign. He has until July 13th to do so, or we get the 7th pick in the 2013 draft in addition to whatever pick we get for being terrible. That draftee would be five-tool outfielder Albert Almora BTW, but you must have already known that.
2016 Cubs Starters:
Jackson-Almora-Soler
Vitters-Castro-Baez-Rizzo
Castillo
Samardzija
