JORR, what is your point?
That fans put unrealistic expectations on prospects and that sometimes they underrate solid MLBers in faovr of prospects?
Ok. Thats true across all sports and teams
Its not unique to Cub fans, that's a silly notion.
And there is at least one Sox fan on this board who has repeatedly compared Sale to Johnson. So dont pretend that doesnt exist.
He was comparing Sale to Johnson stylistically, not in expected results. You know that. Don't be disingenuous.
That is not the only time he mentioned the comparison. Im being truthful.

[I just don't see how someone could think Castro was "we're set at short for the next ten years" one minute and "get that bum out of here" the next. Viciedo is really, really likely to be better than Jorge Soler and no Sox fan I know even mentions him. Move him. Keep him. Whatever. You'd like better but he's okay until that comes along.
Im not sure about Viciedo v. Soler, but fans are fickle by nature. I pay little attention to it, unlesss its someone who really doesnt deserve it (Like Marmol)

But the Sox are in deep trouble while TheoandJed have the Cubs "set". It's ridiculous. And if it were flipped around and your team was almost always better but the media played it as if it were actually the other way around, I'm sure you'd be more annoyed than I am
Outside of the ridiculous Dan Bernstein, does anyone think Theo and Jed have the Cubs "set"?
I dont even thnk Theo and Jed think that
Dont confuse people supporting a long term plan with people guarenteeing results

Let's get you down on Almora. Will you be disappointed if he's DeJesus?
Yes, Ill be disappointed if he goes 8 straight years without playing on a winning team.
If Almora has DeJesus WAR, he'll be a decent player.
I hope he's better than that. If he's not, he's not.
