It's more fun to be a victim

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

Meanwhile other local teams:
5. Brewers 4 Top 100 up from 2015's 28th place rank.
22. Down from 12th in 2015 and with 1 Top 100 prospect is TEAM 2005. The long KHAHN year 4 of the 3 year reload.

What do you mean when you say "local"? Local relative to the Cubs?
The Cubs are not a Chicago sports franchise. Dont compare them to the Sox.

Today ESPN's Kieth Law released his 2016 farm system ranks.... the Cubs even after promoting Bryant, Schawber, Russell have slipped from the number 1 spot all the way down to 4th behind only the Braves,Dodgers and Twins. The Cubs have only 6 prospects in Law's Top 100 obviously the con job continues.

His recap:

"They graduated Kris Bryant, Kyle Schwarber and Addison Russell but are still loaded with talent, albeit most of it unlikely to help before 2017. The system has long been light on arms, but there's some pitching coming if you squint hard enough into the distance."

The pedophilic looking Keith Law has been a well know Sox detractor for at least a decade.

The pedophilic looking Keith Law has been a well know Sox detractor for at least a decade. I don't know if he is in the group of unbiased minor league evaluators who also happen to have sent a resume to the Cubs in looking for a job.

Phil Rogers with M&H stated last homegrown Sock position player to accrue 3 WAR donning the pale hose was Joe Crede drafted in '96.

His dislike of the Sox system is reality instead of Keyzer/good dolpin fantasy.

are pitchers no longer part of a minor league system?

I think the Sox problem is more development than talent. The Sox had a top minor league ranking maybe a decade ago and it produced nothing.

Do you guys really think there is no bias in minor league evaluation?

We know fairly definitely that it exists in the business of high school football talent evaluation (specifically that a player became a great number of stars recruit when he became an ND recruit). We also know that a top evaluator was interviewing for jobs with MLB teams and just happened to give a glowing evaluation of the team for which he was ultimately hired.

Who are the great Cubs of the last twenty years? The guy playing third in Toronto?

Was there for 15 minutes, but this Oscar De La Cruz feller sure seemed to humm the ball with some pop you could hear in the OF.

Using Baseball America as a proxy from date of Theo's hire:

11: 16th
12: 14th
13: 12th
14: 4th
15: 1st

Don't see where bias is derived from? Most people would acknowledge the Cubs minors leagues have drastically improved and provided results.

I knew the names Lake, Alcantara, etc. far earlier than I should have.

The White Sox equivalent of those guys is Andy Gonzalez who nobody ever talked about. For good fucking reason.

I don't waste my time with the Cubs.

More like Gordon Beckham " the BEST second baseman in baseball" and Miguel Olivio "the BEST young cathcher I have ever seen"

Laurence Holmes is a fucking weirdo, a nerd in denial, and a wannabe. Not a very good radio host either.

Lake and Alcantara dream of having careers like Beckham and Olivo

You're right.

The White Sox' two best position player products of their minor league system are better than two of the Cubs' worst.

Gordon Beckham dreams of having a career like Starlin Castro.
