If you could lock Jorge Soler's MLB performance right now at DeAza's numbers averaged over seven seasons, would you do it or take your chances that he will be much greater than that?

The White Sox have a better "25 and under" team than the Cubs do. Discuss.

How's that first place team doing?

I'm not. In fact, I'm pretty sure he won't. That isn't the point. You will be disappointed if Soler does what DeAza is doing right now during his Cubs career. And that's unrealistic. Like Frank is telling you in the other thread.

Yes. I will be disappointed if Soler doesn't play a full season in the majors until he's 28 years old.

Who in the system is a major league talent that changes that? Do the White Sox have anyone worth anything in the minors?

There isn't a scout around that wouldn't comfortably rate the Cubs farm system better than the Sox. It obviously doesn't mean a thing until the make the majors and produce

I'm not asking who has the better rated minor league system. I'm just wondering what players in the Cubs minor league system overcomes the advantage the Sox have on the major league club with people 25 and under. I'm also interested to know if the Sox have anyone under 25 in the minors who is good.

Ill be a little upset if he gets All Star snubbed like De Aza

So you'll be satisfied if Soler is like DeAza?

Sometimes it doesn't happen until they are 29. Phil Rogers can then proclaim greatness, even though he has to sit against lefties .

So you're saying De Aza will be an all-star by the age of 29?

No, I don't think either are all-stars.

Tony LaRussa agrees with Rogers.

Seeing some not Cub fans all up in here.

Totally agree. I just think he probably knows more about baseball than Phil Rogers does.
