Holy crap!

Pitchers and catchers report in like 5 weeks.

It's weird actually being excited for baseball again.

Players will shit their pants when they see themselves on the Jumbotron in Wrigley.

It will be nice target practice for the "Boy Jorge and the Culture Cubs". :smug2:

Couldn't find a picture of a Cub wearing #66 (apparently Rafael Dolis did at one point) so I'll go with this guy

Soler is fundamentally sound both mentally and physically. He hustles, hits the cutoff, etc. He will have a much better career if he stays healthy.

Yeah, Soler to me looks like a lock to be good. The strike against him is his health. I'd like to see a PT for him to help him stay in shape properly. With that big body, he needs to stay flexible, etc. Hopefully he's not just one of those injury prone guys.

Yes I agree longevity will be on solers side. Puig has some maturity issues to overcome. But puig is proven already and is very good

Soler has been considered a bigger and faster Puig. Whats funny? Cubs fans wrote him off last year because of his struggles. I stayed on his side because of his complete look. Now, he is a lock and Baez is a bust. Itsfunny because the internetz has made everyone a scout. Let the kids play. The cubs have enough depth and money to figure the rest out. The Cubs are coming one way or another. They are in way to good of shape. They have to much depth with the youth and to much money to spend to fail now. If they do, then Theo should never work in baseball again.

Legit talk, Soler! Attitude is big part of my decision. Puig js great but Soler is more complete to me. Soler is really good man. Im not being a homer. I just trust my eye.

It's just going to be fun to have guys like Bryant and Soler, along with Castro, Fowler, Montero, and Rizzo in the line-up versus Nate Schierholtz, Barney, Lake, and Emilio Bonafacio. :elephant:

i get it. the attitude part is a good part of your debate so I can respect that. If you are using the variable of a clubhouse issue I can see that too but puig is proven and i think if you look at just that part puig should be the guy considering the numbers he puts up.
