I saw Matt Shaw play against the Lake County Captains and OH. MY. GOD. He is incredible. Laced a triple off the wall in the first, hit a nuke a couple innings later, and made a great tag on a runner at second.

The Cubs are the Fort Knox of outfield prospects. Also, waiting on McGeary to get a little more love. Ross likes three catchers and Barnhart is on the way out, hoping to see McGeary slide into Amaya's role and Amaya fully take over Barnhart's slack.

Matt Shaw is like Nico Horner reliable and a clutch hitter with super high baseball IQ. Keep drafting guys like that and the World Series is closer than you think.

Jordan Wicks has looked great so far in his 2 starts with the Cubs. Love his changeup

Excellent analysis. Among the others, I'm excited to see the progression of Caissie and Triantos. I'm also hoping Ballesteros can remain at catcher to fill a gaping need in the system.

I love how mlb is the only sports league that has players so good in there farm system they trade them nobody else does that

Thank you very much I appreciate it!

We watched PCA on august 8th in Iowa, he started off really slow going 2 for 18 in his first 4 games in AAA (his first AAA hit was actually a home run) but man he’s really picked it up and has been on fire his past several games

Re-uploaded after the last video had multiple ~15 second long black screens that only showed up after upload, please lmk if you see anything that seems wrong !

Love it! I’m loving the development and hard work ethic of this organization from the top-down.

So is Kevin Alcantara, similar to the reds new top prospect the left-handed hitting… Elly de la Cruz? That’s who reminds me of of course because of their long lens, and height plus athletic ability… I’m wondering if Kevin can get to that level or higher… And he threw in a few other surprising names like Shar and McGarey, never heard of these guys, and I really appreciate You giving us more information and Cubs prospects, I’m just wondering about pitching… Do they have any good left-handed pitchers that can come in from the bullpen may be another ride handler or starter? Because right now the Cubs can score runs, they can play decent defense but they sometimes blow it with their pitching and this three inning three pitcher Thing that Ross is doing, how long will that work? I mean I really want to see Drew Smyly pitch six or seven innings because he’s good enough… Either that or they get another legitimate starter since the other guy who has problems with consistency is Jameson Taillon… Anyway keep it up🙏👍🏼

@danr154

Ehhh....Elly is faster and more explosive honestly. I see Alcantara as a worse version of Eloy Jiminez. Jiminez was destroying the minors.....he didnt need to learn to elevate the ball. Maybe more like a Jorge Soler

Love your vids. Keep up the good work

scary cubbies in 2 yrs

Is Horton ready to come up now? I mean do we need another starter because it seems like it… Like I said before this three pitcher per game experiment sometimes looks good and sometimes looks awful… Perhaps Cade Horton should be given a chance as the number five starter…

caissie is a legit power bat

FARM VID LETS GO

Nice coverage

I'm sad to see Cristian Hernandez drop all the way to 21 in the top 30, but the numbers have not been there. I have really high hopes for him, so maybe he can turn things around and be the stud SS I would like to see in the majors (Even if he is blocked)!

I agree he is still young hopefully he gets better

This is some good content. Keep it up

The K rate for Caissie is pretty inaccurate because of the drastic change when AA stopped using the pre-tacted balls. That K rate dropped below 30 when that happened. The overall numbers for PCA also greatly improved when this happened.

Go Cubs!

Anyone know anything about Parker Chavers. He was doing well in Myrtle Beach and cubs move him up to SB only to ride bench. Cubs giving up on him?

Felicidades kevin ❤

I like the depth of the analysis you offer. I disagree with you on Ohtani. Too much money. In my view, Ohtani is an all or nothing signing. Cubs would be better off using Ohtani dollars on signing a quality free agent starter, 2 free agent bullpen arms and a hitter like Jorge Soler or Rhys Hoskins. Cubs have a history of burning thru prospects for aging veterans. Let's hang on and develop the kids. Play Morel 1B, put Soler or Hoskins at DH. Saves payroll. Builds solid rotation.

Thoughts on Cristian Hernandez?

@llamabaseball

9 ай бұрын

I don’t rly know what to think of him, he was so hyped but is slashing .225/.302/.302 in myrtle beach… still 19 tho I guess, but Rojas has definitely jumped past him

Cubs will seriously regret the Busch trade, Ferris going to be a beast.

They call a lot of high strikes in the minors.

The Cubs seem to focus on position players. They need to develop more pitching.

Matt mervis is touchable because of his age

Well we just gave away Velasquez for essentially half-off.

I'm holding my head that the Mets gave up PCA for Baez. Another Mets doozy in the tradition of Ryan, Seaver, Otis, Singelton, Staub, etc pretty much for nothing.

Top 100 prospects give hope to fans but the truth is only about 20% work out.
