Alcantara hadn't played of until this year. Bryant has never played of but there has been a perpetual discussion about that. Most didn't expect Schwarber to be a catcher even on draft day. They are trying to find an MLB position for Baez

Really the only prospects who are affirmative choices at their positions are Almora and russell

Shifting a shortstop prospect to 2nd base is very common.

I don't waste my time with the Cubs.

If you can play shortstop you can play any position on the field.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

See Gordon Beckham.

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.

Isn't Soler supposed to be an above average outfielder?

I don't waste my time with the Cubs.

uh. I prefer to keep my middle IF middle IF, and my corner IF my corner IF. However, anyone can play OF. LF and RF are more difficult but doable.

Are you saying you expect Alcantara, Bryant or Schwarber to be a poor defensive outfielder? And are you suggesting Baez has a go-to defensive position that the Cubs are moving him from?

Not if your name is Junior Lake

This is the cub thinking as well. Enjoy the bad defense at the MLB level

It's self evident his position, should he have proven himself capable, was ss. Same is true for the others. The most likely result is a gerrymandered defensive group who's MLB existence is justified only by their individual bats

He even fucks up no hitters.

Pierce Johnson:
6IP 0ER 6K with overall 2.79 ERA.

CJ Edwards pitched decently this weekend as well.

Almora burst onto the scene in 2013 with a solid campaign in the Midwest League, showing strong hitting ability and potential as a front-half-of-the-lineup type. At the forefront of the 20-year-old’s strengths are outstanding bat control, driven by innate hand-to-eye coordination and elite makeup. The outfielder has the type of loose hands to stay inside of the baseball and barrel up a lot of offerings. It’s not hard to envision a future gap-to-gap hitter who can develop some power as he learns to muscle up and take more chances with his swing. This season has shown that Almora needs to tighten up his strike zone. He’s an aggressive hitter. A positive sign is that the prospect has a knack for getting the bat on the ball. This isn’t a wild swinger with big holes. It’s more a case of slowing plate appearances down and learning more about himself as a hitter. The latter takes some time. Short-term resistance can often be the trigger for long-term growth. There’s a chance that Almora never gets it and never takes enough steps forward, but the makeup makes him a strong bet to show large gains over the next couple of seasons. —Chris Mellen

Straily: 6IP 0ER 5K

Encouraging but he's really sucked before last night.
